(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)


1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of SIFCO Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been ~~eliminated.~~eliminated in consolidation.

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all of the Company’s U.S. operations and its ~~Irish~~non-operating subsidiaries. For these operations, all gains and losses from completed currency transactions are included in ~~income currently.~~income. The functional currency for the Company's other non-U.S. subsidiaries is the Euro. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses are translated using average rates of exchange for the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.

These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s fiscal ~~2017~~2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted ~~accounting~~ in the United States ("U.S."). The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the outbreak subsequently became increasingly widespread in the United States and other countries in which we operate.

The Company has taken proactive steps to ensure the safety of its employees and customers as well as to preserve the Company’s financial flexibility. The Company will continue to monitor the development of and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of COVID-19 on its business and respond accordingly. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company continues to evolve subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and as of the date these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements are issued. As such, the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and future results of operations is uncertain. As the pandemic continues to impact operations of businesses across the world, our ability to meet customer demands for products may be impaired or, similarly, our customers have experienced and may continue to experience adverse business consequences. Reduced demand for products or impaired ability to meet customer demand (including as a result of disruptions at our facilities, to transportation of products, and/or vendors) could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial performance. Given the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the varied global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not presently able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its future results of operations, financial condition or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.

B. Accounting Policies

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company's fiscal ~~2017~~2019 Annual Report on Form ~~10-K, except for~~10-K. Since the ~~following:~~

~~Income taxes~~

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the "Act") which, among other items, reduces the U.S. corporate tax rate effective January 1, 2018 from 35% to 21%, creates a participation exemption regime for future distributions of foreign earnings, imposes a one-time transition tax on a taxpayer’s foreign subsidiaries’ earnings not previously subject to U.S. taxation and creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. On the same day of the Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") issued Staff Bulletin 118 ("SAB 118"). SAB 118 expresses views of the SEC regarding ASC Topic 740, Income taxes ("ASC 740") in the reporting period that includes the enactment date of the Act. The SEC staff issuing SAB 118 recognized that a company’s review of certain income tax effects of the Act may be incomplete at the time the financial statements are issued for the reporting period that includes the enactment date, including interim periods therein. If a company does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed for certain income tax effects of the Act, SAB 118 allows a company to report provisional numbers and adjust those amounts during the measurement period not to extend beyond one year from the day of enactment.

The Act also includes provisions for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) wherein taxes on foreign income are imposed in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. This income will effectively be taxed at a 10.5% tax rate in general. Because of the complexity of the new provisions, the Company is continuing to evaluate how the provisions will be accounted for under the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles wherein companies are allowed to make an accounting policy election to either (i) account for GILTI as a component of tax expense in the period in which the Company is subject to the rules (the “period cost method”), or (ii) account for GILTI in the Company’s measurement of deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). Currently,Annual Report, the Company has ~~not elected a method~~implemented Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" and ~~will only do so after its completion of the analysis of the GILTI provisions and its election method will depend, in part, on analyzing its global income to determine whether~~ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements," (collectively with ASU 2016-02, "Topic 842"), which was adopted by the Company ~~expects~~on October 1, 2019 using the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method. Significant changes to ~~have future material U.S. inclusions~~the Company's accounting policies as a result of adopting Topic 842 are referenced below within section E. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and in ~~its taxable income related to GILTI and, if so, the impact that is expected.~~

~~Refer to~~ Note ~~5, Income Taxes.~~4, Leases.

C. Net ~~Loss~~Income/(Loss) per Share

The Company’s net income and loss per basic share has been computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. ~~Due~~Net income in the current period, per diluted share reflects the effect of the Company's outstanding restricted shares and performance shares under the treasury method. In the prior period, due to the net loss for each reporting period, nozero restricted shares are included in the calculation of ~~basic or~~ diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect ~~of the Company’s restricted shares and performance shares were~~is as follows:

Three Months Ended
December 31,
2017 2016
Net loss $ (911 ) $ (2,609 )

Weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic and diluted) 5,502
5,467

Net loss per share – basic and diluted:
Net loss per share (0.17 ) $ (0.48 )

Anti-dilutive weighted-average common shares excluded from calculation of diluted earnings per share 110

~~D. Derivative Financial Instruments~~

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on March 29, 2016 to reduce risk related to variable-rate debt, which was subject to changes in market rates of interest. The interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge. The agreement was canceled as part of the debt modification on November 9, 2016, as further discussed in Note 4, ~~Debt~~. The Company accounted for the interest rate swap termination by recording the loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2016. The amount incurred in interest expense was nominal. As part of the new Credit Facility, described further in Note 4, ~~Debt,~~ on November 9, 2016, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap on November 30, 2016 to reduce risk related to the variable debt over the life of the new term loan. At December 31, 2017, the Company held one interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $3,816. Cash flows related to the interest rate swap agreement are included in interest expense. The Company’s interest rate swap agreement and its variable-rate term debt were based upon LIBOR. At December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the Company’s interest rate swap agreement qualified as a fully effective cash flow hedge against the Company’s variable-rate term note. The mark-to-market valuation was a $24 asset and a $4 asset at December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

~~E. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards~~

~~In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, “Leases~~ (Topic 842).” This ASU requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet and aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition for capital and operating leases existing at or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, but it does not require transition accounting for leases that expire prior to the date of initial adoption. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2016-02 and anticipates that the adoption will impact the consolidated condensed balance sheets due to the recognition of the right-to-use asset and lease liability related to its current operating leases.

~~In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~ (Topic 606).” ASU 2014-09 completes the joint effort by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net).” The ASU 2016-08 clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.~~” This ASU 2016-10 clarifies the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations. These ASUs, along with subsequent updates, apply to all companies that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services, and are effective for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will adopt the new guidance on October 1, 2018. The Company is executing a bottom up approach to analyze the standard's impact on its revenues by looking at historical policies and practices and identifying the differences from applying the new standard to its revenue streams. The Company has determined that many of its long-term agreements contain variable consideration clauses and is in the process of quantifying the impact to its consolidated financial statements. In addition, some of the Company's agreements have clauses which may require the Company to recognize revenue over time. The majority of the Company's current revenue is recognized at a point-in-time. As such, SIFCO continues to evaluate the impact of the standard on its financial reporting, disclosures and related systems and internal controls. The Company has engaged a third party to assist with its efforts.

F. ~~Recently Adopted Accounting Standards~~

~~In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,~~ ~~Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,~~ which amends existing guidance related to accounting for employee share-based payments affecting the income tax consequences of awards, classification of awards as equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for



	Three Months Ended March 31,					Six Months Ended March 31,

D. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" and subsequent updates. ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model. The new expected credit loss impairment model will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt instruments, net investments in leases, loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Upon initial recognition of the exposure, the expected credit loss model requires entities to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics should be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not prescribe a specific method to make the estimate, so its application will require significant judgment. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. However, in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, "Financial Instruments - Credit Loss (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)," which defers the effective date for public filers that are considered smaller reporting companies ("SRC"), as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Because SIFCO is considered a SRC, the Company does not need to implement ASU 2016-13 until October 1, 2023. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect of adopting ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company's results within the consolidated condensed statements of operations and financial condition.

In December 2019, ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" was issued to (i) reduce the complexity of the standard by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and (ii) improve consistency and simplify other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, ~~2016,~~2020. The Company continues to evaluate the effect adopting this ASU will have on the Company's results within the consolidated condensed statements of operations and ~~early~~financial condition.

E. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

The Company adopted Topic 842 using the cumulative effect method as of October 1, 2019 for the adoption ~~is permitted. ASU 2016-09 was adopted~~of Topic 842. Under the transition method selected by the Company, ~~effective~~leases that are not short-term in nature existing at, or entered on October 1, ~~2017.~~

~~This guidance requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies~~2019 were required to be recognized ~~as income tax expense or benefit~~and measured. Prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reflected with the Company's historical accounting. The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the ~~income statement~~Company recording right-of-use ("ROU") assets and ~~also requires a policy election to either estimate the number~~operating lease liabilities of ~~awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. The Company changed its policy to recognize the impact of forfeitures when they actually occur. There was no impact~~approximately $18,059 to the consolidated condensed ~~financial statements~~balance sheet as of October 1, 2017. Also, this guidance requires cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes to be classified in the consolidated condensed statement of cash flows as a financing activity, which differs from the Company's previous method of classification of such cash payments as an operating activity. The Company applied this provision retrospectively, and for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the impact between operating activities to financing activities was nominal. This guidance also requires the tax effects of exercised or vested awards to be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur, which was applied prospectively, beginning October 1, 2017 by the Company. Due to the Company having recorded a domestic valuation allowance, the tax impact upon adoption of this ASU was not material to the consolidated condensed financial statements. Lastly, the guidance requires that excess tax benefits should be classified along2019, with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows, which differs from the Company’s historical classification of excess tax benefits as cash inflows from financing activities. The Company elected to apply this provision using the prospective transition method.

~~In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11,~~ ~~Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory~~, which provides new guidance to simplify the measurement of inventory valuation at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The adoption of this ASU in the first quarter ended December 31, 2017 had no related impact on the Company's consolidated condensed ~~financial statements.~~statement of comprehensive income (loss) or consolidated condensed statement of cash flows.


2.	Inventories

Inventories consist of:


	December 31, 2017		September 30, 2017		March 31, 2020		September 30, 2019
Raw materials and supplies	$	4,867	$	6,108	$	4,873	$	4,512
Work-in-process	7,129		7,650		4,974		2,721
Finished goods	7,366		6,623		3,555		3,276
Total inventories	$	19,362	$	20,381	$	13,402	$	10,509

~~Inventories are stated at~~For a portion of the ~~lower of~~Company's inventory, cost ~~or market. Cost~~ is determined using the last-in, first-out ~~(“LIFO”~~("LIFO") ~~method for 40%~~method. Approximately 35% and ~~38%~~27% of the Company’s inventories at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2020 and September 30, ~~2017, respectively.~~2019, respectively use the LIFO method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each fiscal year based on the inventory levels and costs existing at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because the actual results may vary from these estimates, calculations are subject to many factors beyond management’s control, annual results may differ from interim results as they are subject to adjustments based on the differences between the estimates and the actual results. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used for the remainder of the ~~inventories.~~inventories, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. If the FIFO method had been used for the inventories for which cost is determined using the LIFO method, inventories would have been ~~$8,371~~$8,285 and ~~$8,319~~$8,296 higher than reported at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2020 and September 30, ~~2017~~2019, respectively.

3.3. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows:

Total accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	(8,773	)	$	(9,251	)	$	(12,809	)	$	(13,309	)

4. Leases

The adoption of Topic 842 requires lessees to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability on the consolidated condensed balance sheet, with the exception of short-term leases. The Company primarily leases its manufacturing buildings, specifically at its Orange location, office equipment and forklifts. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified assets for a period in exchange for consideration. Upon identification and commencement of a lease, the Company establishes a ROU asset and a lease liability. Operating leases are included in ROU assets, short-term operating lease liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property, plant, and equipment, current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt on the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

The Company has remaining lease terms ranging from one to 17 years, some of which include options to renew the lease. The total lease term is determined by considering the initial lease term per the lease agreement, which is adjusted to include any renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise as well as any period that the Company has control before the stated initial term of the agreement. If the Company determines there exists a reasonable certainty of exercising termination or early buyout options, then the lease terms are adjusted to account for these facts. A portion of our real estate leases are generally subject to annual changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). The changes to the CPI are treated as variable lease payments.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard which, among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification.

The Company has made an accounting policy election to not separate non-lease components from lease components when allocating consideration for the buildings and machinery and equipment ROU asset classes. The election was made to reduce the administrative burden that would be imposed on the Company.

ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date and duration of the lease term in determining the present value of the future payments. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while the expense for finance leases is recognized as depreciation expense and interest expense using the accelerated interest method of recognition.

A lease asset and lease liability are not recorded for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less and the lease expense related to these leases is recognized as incurred over the lease term.

The components of lease expense were as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2020		Six Months Ended March 31, 2020
Lease expense
Finance lease expense:
Amortization of right-of use assets on finance leases	$	14	27

Credit Agreement and Security Agreement of 2018

On ~~November 9, 2016,~~August 8, 2018, the Company entered into an ~~Amended~~asset-based Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement") and ~~Restated Credit and~~a Security Agreement ~~("Credit Facility"~~(“Security Agreement”) with its ~~Lender.~~current lender (the "Lender"). The Credit ~~Facility~~Agreement matures on ~~June 25, 2020~~August 6, 2021 and ~~consisted of secured loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $39,871. The Credit Facility was~~is comprised of ~~(i)~~ a senior secured revolving credit facility ofwith a maximum borrowing ~~amount~~ of ~~$35,000, including swing line loans and letters~~$30,000. The Credit Agreement also has an accordion feature, which allows the Company to increase maximum borrowings by up to $10,000 upon consent of ~~credit provided by~~ the ~~Lender and (ii) senior secured term loan facility in~~existing lender or upon additional lenders joining the ~~amount of $4,871 (the "Term Facility"). The Term Facility is repayable in monthly installments of $81, which commenced December 1, 2016.~~Credit Agreement. The terms of the Credit ~~Facility~~Agreement contain both a ~~lock-box~~lock box arrangement and subjective acceleration clause. As a result, the ~~amounts~~amount outstanding on the revolving credit facility ~~are~~is classified as a short-term liability. The ~~amounts borrowed under~~proceeds from the Credit ~~Facility~~Agreement were used ~~to repay the amounts outstanding under the Company's previous Credit Agreement, for working capital, for general corporate purposes and~~ to pay fees and expenses ~~associated with this transaction. In~~incurred in connection with ~~entering into~~ the Credit ~~Facility, the Company terminated its interest rate swap agreement with the Lender, as referenced in Note 1,~~ ~~Summary~~Agreement and continue to be used for working capital purposes and general corporate purposes.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of ~~Significant Accounting Policies - Derivative Financial Instruments~~.

~~Borrowings bear interest at the LIBOR rate, prime rate, or the eurocurrency reference rate depending on the type of loan requested by the Company, in each case, plus the applicable margin as~~defaults. As set forth in the Credit Facility. The revolver has a rate based on LIBOR plus a 3.75% spread and a prime rate, which resulted in a weighted average rate of 5.4% at December 31, 2017 and the term loan has a rate of 5.6% at December 31, 2017, which was based on LIBOR plus a 4.25% spread. This rate becomes an effective fixed rate of 5.8% after giving effect to the interest rate swap agreement. There is also a commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.375% to be incurred on the unused balance.

~~The Company entered into its First Amendment~~ Agreement, ("First Amendment") to the Credit Facility on February 16, 2017. The First Amendment assigned its Lender as Administrative Agent and assigned a portion of its Credit Facility to a participating Lender.

~~Under the Company's Credit Facility,~~ the Company is ~~subject~~required to ~~certain customary loan covenants. These include, without limitation, covenants that require maintenance of certain specified financial ratios, including that the Company meeting~~maintain a ~~minimum EBITDA and the maintenance of a minimum~~ fixed charge coverage ~~ratio.~~ratio ("FCCR") of 1.1:1.0 any time the availability is equal to or less than 12.5% of the revolving commitment. In the event of a default, wethe Company may not be able to access ~~our~~the revolver, which could impact the ability to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures and invest in new business opportunities.

~~On August 4, 2017,~~ See discussion below under the ~~Company entered into its Second~~Fourth Amendment ~~Agreement ("Second Amendment") with its Lender~~ to ~~(i) amend certain definitions within its Credit Facility to, among other things, effect the changes described herein and to reset the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in~~ the Credit ~~Facility)~~Agreement and Security Agreement which revises the provision related to build to a trailing four quarters in each of the fiscal 2018 quarters, commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2017; (ii) replace certain of its financial covenants outlined in the description of Credit Facilityavailability and amend its financial covenants with a revised minimum EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2017 and to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio commencing on December 31, 2017; (iii) reduce its maximum revolving amount of $35,000 to $30,000; and (iv) the Company must use its cash proceeds from the sale of the Irish building discussed in Note 10, ~~Assets Held for Sale and Disposal~~ ~~to reduce the Term Facility by $700 and use the remaining proceeds to reduce the revolver.~~ FCCR.

On November ~~28, 2017, the Company obtained a consent letter from its Lender which extended to December 31, 2017 the date to consummate such sale of the Irish property.~~

~~On February 8,~~5, 2018, the Company entered into the ~~Third~~First Amendment (the "First Amendment") to the Credit Agreement and Security Agreement with its lender. The First Amendment retroactively amended certain definitions and provisions effective as of the original closing date to clarify the parties' original understanding.

On December 17, 2018, the Company entered into an Export Credit Agreement (the ~~“Third~~“Export Credit Agreement”) with its Lender. Pursuant to the terms of the Export Credit Agreement, the Lender will lend amounts to the Company on foreign receivables that are guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States of America. The Export Credit Agreement provides for a revolving commitment of $5,000, therefore increasing the maximum borrowing of the revolver to $35,000. The borrowings under the Export Credit Agreement will bear interest at (depending on the type of borrowing) the Prime or LIBOR Rate, plus the applicable margin as set forth in the Export Credit Agreement. The maturity date under the Export Credit Agreement is August 6, 2021 (or such earlier date as the revolving commitments under the Export Credit Agreement are reduced to zero or otherwise terminated). The Export Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, including, without limitation, the affirmative covenants under the Company’s Credit Agreement dated August 8, 2018, as amended with the Lender. In connection with entering into the Export Credit Agreement, the Company also entered into the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its Credit ~~Facility~~Agreement. The Second Amendment amends certain definitions and provisions to provide for the Company’s entrance into the Export Credit Agreement.

On March 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Third Amendment with its Lender. This amendment extended the ~~Agent~~time frame for when certain post-closing requirements would be satisfied by March 31, 2019 to June 30, 2019. These post-closing requirements were completed by June 30, 2019.

On September 20, 2019, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment with its Lender. As previously stated, the Company is subject to certain customary loan covenants if availability is less than or equal to 12.5% of the revolving commitment for three or more business days in any consecutive 30 day period; however, the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement resulted in the reduction of its availability from 12.5% of the revolving commitment to 10% of the lesser of collateral or total revolving commitment, with a $2,000 floor through June 30, 2020. In determining the availability, the Lender looks at the total collateral. If the total collateral is less than $20,000, then the $2,000 floor will apply; however, if the total collateral is greater than or equal to $20,000, but less than the $35,000 (revolving commitment); then 10% of the total collateral is used, but if the collateral exceeds $35,000, then 10% of the total commitment is used as lending will not exceed the $35,000 revolving commitment unless the accordion feature is enacted. This will reset back to previous requirements prior to the Fourth Amendment, commencing July 1, 2020. As of March 31, 2020 and ~~Lenders~~September 30, 2019, the total collateral was $26,000 and $24,000, respectively and the revolving commitment was $35,000 for both periods. The measurement at 10% was $2,600 and $2,400, respectively. Total availability at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was $7,999 and $7,709, respectively, which exceed both the collateral and total commitment threshold. If availability had fallen short, the Company would be required to meet the FCCR covenant, which must not be less than 1.1 to 1.0. Because the availability was greater than the 10.0% of the revolving commitment as of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the FCCR calculation was not required.

Amounts borrowed under the Credit ~~Facility, in which~~Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and a pledge of 66.67% of the ~~Agent~~stock of its first-tier non-U.S. subsidiaries. Borrowings will bear interest at the Lender's established domestic rate or LIBOR, plus the applicable margin as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The revolver has a rate based on LIBOR plus 2.00% spread at March 31, 2020 and 1.75% spread at September 30, 2019, which was 3.6% both at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively and the ~~Lenders agreed~~Export Credit Agreement has a rate based on LIBOR plus 1.50% spread at March 31, 2020 and 1.25% spread at September 30, 2019, which was 3.1% and 3.4% at March 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. The Company also has a commitment fee of 0.25% under the Credit Agreement to ~~among other things, (i) amend~~be incurred on the ~~interest rate pricing spreads, (ii) add an owned real property location as part~~unused balance of the ~~collateral and sell certain identified assets at our closed location in Alliance, (iii) adjust the calculation of EBITDA and certain financial covenants,~~revolver.

Foreign subsidiary borrowings

~~As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the total foreign~~Foreign debt borrowings (excluding capital leases) were $8,492 and $8,346, respectively, of which $6,298 and $5,805, respectively is the current portion. Current debt as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, consist of $3,369 and $2,618 of short-term borrowings, $1,222 and $1,340 is the current portion of long-term debt, and $1,707 and $1,847 of factoring. consists of:

Receivables pledged as collateral	$	918		$	672

Interest rates on ~~the term note~~foreign borrowings are based on Euribor rates which range from 1.0% to 4.0%. In December 2018, the Company entered into a six month short-term debt arrangement of $1,137 to be used for working capital purposes, which was subsequently repaid in fiscal 2019. In September 2019, Maniago modified its repayment schedule for one tranche of its existing term debt by reducing its next two payments by approximately $96 and extending the loan for an additional six months in which the final payment will be made at that time (to be paid by October 2020). The Company continues to have discussions with its lenders and other potential partners to refinance certain debt obligations at its Maniago location to provide Maniago with sufficient future liquidity. If Maniago is unsuccessful in obtaining additional financing, it may experience challenges in meeting certain current loan obligations. This foreign debt is collateralized by Maniago’s assets. The Company has not pledged any assets as collateral or guaranteed Maniago’s debt. The consolidated condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of the Maniago assets or the amounts and classifications of the Maniago liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan will provide adequate liquidity to finance its Maniago operations.

The Company factors receivables from one of its customers. The factoring programs are uncommitted, whereby the Company offers receivables for sale to an unaffiliated financial institution, which are then subject to acceptance by the unaffiliated financial institution. Following the sale and transfer of the receivables to the unaffiliated financial institution, the receivables are not isolated from the Company, and effective control of the receivables is not passed to the unaffiliated financial institution, which does not have the right to pledge or sell the receivables. The Company accounts for the pledge of receivables under this agreement as short-term debt and continues to carry the receivables on its consolidated condensed balance ~~sheet. The carrying value of the receivables pledged as collateral were $3,658 and $3,548 at December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively.~~sheets.

The portion noted above within the debt table relates to the Term Facility in the amount of $61, net of amortization of $19 at December 31, 2017. The remaining $707 of debt issuance cost relates to the revolving credit facility. This portion is shown in the consolidated condensed balance ~~sheet~~sheets as a deferred charge in other current assets, net of amortization of ~~$217~~$158 and $106 at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017.~~2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

5.6.Income Taxes

For each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of the effective tax rate it expects to be applicable for the full fiscal year for its operations. This estimated effective rate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. The Company’s effective tax rate through the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2018~~2020 was ~~21%~~(8)%, compared with ~~(14)%~~16% for the same period of fiscal ~~2017. This increase is~~2019. The decrease in the effective rate was primarily ~~driven by~~attributable to changes in jurisdictional mix of income in fiscal 2020 compared with the same period of fiscal 2019 and discrete tax benefits ~~of $718 primarily related to tax legislation enacted during~~through the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2018 and tax impacts related to the sale of the Cork, Ireland building discussed further in Note 10,~~ ~~Assets Held for Sale and Disposal, partially offset by an increase in~~2019 applied against a year-to-date ~~non-U.S. income in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2017.~~loss. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to the valuation allowance against the ~~Company's~~Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets and income in foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at different rates ~~that~~than the U.S. statutory tax rate.

InOn March 27, 2020, the ~~first quarter~~Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted and signed into law. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of fiscal 2018, the U.S. enacted the Act which, among other items, reduces the U.S. corporate tax rate effective January 1, 2018 from 35% to 21%, creates a participation exemption regime for future distributions of foreign earnings, imposes a one-time transition tax on a taxpayer’s foreign subsidiaries’ earnings not previously subject to U.S. taxation and creates new taxes on certain ~~foreign-sourced earnings. The decrease in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% results in a blended statutory tax rate of 24.5%~~payment requirements for the ~~fiscal year ending September 30, 2018. The new~~employer portion of Social Security taxes, ~~for certain foreign-sourced earnings under~~net operating loss carryback periods and temporarily increasing the ~~Act are effective for~~amount of net operating losses that corporations can use to offset income, alternative minimum tax ("AMT") credit refunds, modifications to the ~~Company after the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018.~~

~~The Company revalued its gross U.S. deferred taxes~~net interest deduction limitations, and the related valuation allowance, as a result of the Act. The revaluation, which is considered complete, resulted in a discrete tax benefit of $198 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Other provisions of the Act, including the one-time transition tax, are considered provisional as final transition impacts of the Act may differ from the above estimate, due to changes in interpretations of the Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Act, or any updates or changes to estimates the company has utilized to calculate the transition impacts, including impacts from changes to current year earnings estimates and foreign exchange rates of foreign subsidiaries. As a result of the valuation allowance in the U.S. on tax attribute carryforwards, as of the first quarter of fiscal 2018 no chargetechnical corrections to tax expense was recorded related to the one-time transition tax. Additionally, the Company released $305 of valuation allowance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 on a portion of its U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of deferred tax liabilitiesdepreciation methods for ~~indefinite lived intangible assets now available as a source of income as a result of the Act.~~qualified improvement property. The change in assessment of the realization of deferred taxes as a result of the Act is provisional as of the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as the Company will continue to analyze the necessary information and evaluate assumptions made in its assessment of the realization of its deferred tax assets.

1013

CARES Act did not materially affect the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2020 income tax provision, deferred tax assets and liabilities, or related taxes payable. The Company continues to assess the future implications of these provisions within the CARES Act on its consolidated condensed financial statements but does not expect the impact to be material.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Ireland, Italy, and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company believes it has appropriate support for its federal income tax returns.


6.7.	Retirement Benefit Plans

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans covering some of its employees. The components of net periodic benefit cost of the Company’s defined benefit plans are as follows:


	Three Months Ended December 31,						Three Months Ended March 31,						Six Months Ended March 31,
	2017			2016			2020			2019			2020			2019

Net periodic cost	$	62		$	110		$	118		$	53		$	235		$	105

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2020 and ~~2016,~~2019, the Company made no$244 and $48 in contributions, respectively, to its defined benefit pension plans. The Company anticipates making ~~$45~~$173 of additional cash contributions to fund its defined benefit pension plans during the balance of fiscal ~~2018~~2020 and will use carryover balances from previous periods that have been available for use as a credit to reduce the amount of cash contributions that the Company is required to make to certain defined benefit plans in fiscal ~~2018.~~2020. The Company's ability to elect to use such carryover balance will be determined based on the actual funded status of each defined benefit pension plan relative to the plan's minimum regulatory funding requirements. The Company does not anticipate making cash contributions above the minimum funding requirement to fund its defined benefit pension plans during the balance of fiscal ~~2018.~~2020.

On November 26, 2019, the Company ratified a new collective bargaining agreement with one of its bargaining units. Included within the agreement was a provision to withdraw from its existing multi-employer plan resulting in the imposition of a withdrawal liability. The withdrawal liability of $739 was recorded within the cost of goods sold line of the consolidated condensed statement of operations and is included in other long-term liabilities and the current portion (next four quarterly installments) in accrued liabilities of the consolidated condensed balance sheets, payable in quarterly installments over the next 20 years.


7.8.	Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has awarded performance and restricted shares under its ~~shareholder approved~~shareholder-approved amended and restated 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2007 Plan"), which was further amended and restated under the SIFCO Industries, Inc. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of November 16, 2016) (the "2016 Plan"). At the Annual Meeting of shareholders held on January 30, 2020, the shareholders of the Company approved the first amendment (the “Amendment”) to the 2016 ~~Long-Term Incentive~~Plan. The Amendment increased the number of shares available for award under the 2016 Plan ~~("2016 Plan").~~by 550 shares. The ~~amendment increased the~~ aggregate number of shares that may be awarded ~~under~~by the ~~2016 Plan~~Company was increased to ~~646~~1,196 shares, less any shares previously awarded and subject to an adjustment for the forfeiture of any unvested ~~shares.~~shares, pursuant to the 2016 Plan. In addition, shares that may be awarded are subject to individual recipient award limitations. The shares awarded under the 2016 Plan may be made in multiple forms, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted or unrestricted stock, and performance related shares. Any such award is exercisable no later than ten years from the date of the grant.

The performance shares that have been awarded under both plans generally provide for the vesting of the Company’s common shares upon the Company achieving certain defined financial performance objectives during a period up to three years following the making of such award. The ultimate number of common shares of the Company that may be earned pursuant to an award ranges from a minimum of no shares to a maximum of 200% (for awards granted in fiscal 2020, the maximum is 150%) of the initial target number of performance shares awarded, depending on the level of the Company’s achievement of its financial performance objectives.

With respect to such performance shares, compensation expense is being accrued based on the probability of meeting the performance target. The Company is currently recognizing compensation expense for two tranches of awards where it has concluded it is probable that the performance criteria for that award will be met, while the Company is not currently recognizing compensation expense for one tranche of awards where it had concluded that it is not probable that the performance criteria for those awards will be met. During each future reporting period, such expense may be subject to adjustment based upon the Company's financial

performance, which impacts the number of common shares that it expects to vest upon the completion of the performance period. The performance shares were valued at the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of the grant. The vesting of such shares is determined at the end of the performance period.

During the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2018,~~2020, the Company granted ~~119~~134 shares under the 2016 Plan to certain key employees. The ~~award was~~awards were split into two tranches, 6847 performance shares and 5187 shares of time-based restricted shares, with a grant date fair value of ~~$6.70.~~$2.50 per share. The ~~award vests~~awards vest over three years. ~~5 performance shares and 3 time-based restricted shares were forfeited.~~

The Company has awarded restricted shares to its directors, officers, and other employees of the Company. The restricted shares were valued at the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of the grant, and such value was recorded as unearned compensation. The unearned compensation is being amortized ratably over the restricted stock vesting period of one year or three years.

During the first six months of fiscal 2020, the Company granted its non-employee directors 57 restricted shares under the 2016 Plan, with a grant date fair value of $4.39, which vests over one year. One award for 61 restricted shares vested.

If all outstanding share awards are ultimately earned and vest at the target number of shares, there are approximately ~~302~~524 shares that remain available for award at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017.~~2020. If any of the outstanding share awards are ultimately earned and vest at greater than the target number of shares, up to a maximum of 200% (decreased to 150% for awards starting in fiscal 2020) of such target, then a fewer number of shares would be available for award.

Stock-based compensation under the 2016 Plan was ~~$194~~$225 and ~~$158~~$426 during the first six months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively and $70 and $190 during the three months of fiscal ~~2017~~2020 and ~~2016,~~2019, respectively. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2020, there was ~~$1,242~~$732 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the performance shares and restricted shares awarded under the 2016 Plan. The Company expects to recognize this cost over the next ~~1.8~~1.6 years.

In addition to the disaggregating revenue information provided above, approximately 63% of total net sales as of March 31, 2020 is recognized on an over-time basis because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer, with the remainder recognized at a point in time.

Contract Balances

Generally, payment is due shortly after the shipment of goods. For performance obligations recognized at a point in time, a contract asset is not established as the billing and revenue recognition occur at the same time. For performance obligations recognized over time, a contract asset is established as revenue is recognized prior to billing and shipment. Upon shipment and billing, the value of the contract asset is reversed and accounts receivable is recorded. In circumstances where prepayments are required and payment is made prior to satisfaction of performance obligations, a contract liability is established. If the performance obligation occurs over time, the contract liability is reversed over the course of production. If the performance obligation is point in time, the contract liability reverses upon shipment.

The following table contains a roll forward of contract assets and contract liabilities for the period ended March 31, 2020:




Contract assets - Beginning balance, October 1, 2019	$	10,349

10.	Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in ordinary, routine legal actions. The Company cannot reasonably estimate future costs, if any, related to these matters; however, it does not believe any such matters are material to its financial condition or results of operations. The Company maintains various liability insurance coverages to protect its assets from losses arising out of or involving activities associated with ongoing and normal business operations; however, it is possible that the Company’s future operating results could be affected by future costs of litigation.

~~The~~

A subsidiary of the Company, Quality Aluminum Forge, LLC ("Orange"), is currently a defendant in a ~~class action~~ lawsuit filed by Avco Corporation (“Avco”) in the ~~Superior~~Pennsylvania State Court, which was filed in August 2019, alleging that certain forged pistons delivered by the Orange plant failed to meet material specifications required by Avco. No specific amount of ~~California, County~~damages was claimed by Avco and no discovery has occurred at this time and Orange disagrees with the allegations made by Avco. Previously, Orange was a defendant with respect to the same action in the United States District Court for the District of Orange, arising from employee wage-and-hour claims under California law for alleged meal period, rest break, hourly and overtime wage calculation, timely wage payment and necessary expenditure indemnification violations; and unfair competition.Rhode Island, which action was dismissed in connection with the movement of the matter to Pennsylvania State Court. Although the Company records reserves

for legal disputes and other matters in accordance with ~~generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"),~~GAAP, the ultimate outcomes of these types of matters are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ significantly from current estimates. Given the current status of this matter, the Company has not recorded a charge, as the Company does not have a reasonable basis on which to establish an ~~estimated loss~~estimate.

The Company is a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of ~~$385 as~~California, County of ~~September 30,~~Orange, which was filed in August 2017, arising from employee wage-and-hour claims under California law for alleged meal period, rest break, hourly and overtime wage calculation, timely wage payment and necessary expenditure indemnification violations; failure to maintain required wage records and furnish accurate wage statements; and unfair competition. A settlement has been reached and was scheduled for preliminary court approval in April 2020. This date is currently postponed and has not yet been re-scheduled due to COVID-19. The Company previously recorded adequate reserves to cover the settlement.

During the quarter, the Company received notice from the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Union that they were disclaiming all interest in representing certain hourly employees at the Company’s Cleveland facility. Also, during the quarter, the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Union filed a petition to represent this same group of hourly employees. The Company is working with the National Labor Relations Board to schedule an election, the timing of which ~~$10~~may be affected by COVID-19. The Company’s obligations will be more fully understood following the outcome of this election.

Recovery on the insurance claim related to the fire on December 26, 2018 at the Orange location continues in fiscal 2020. The Company continues to work diligently to restore the site back to full service as safely and quickly as possible. The 2500 ton press from storage that was ~~paid as of September 30, 2017~~placed in service in fiscal 2019 continues to run and the ~~remaining balance~~press located in Michigan was taken off-line at the end of November 2019, was relocated to Orange and was placed in service in March 2020. Restoration is nearly complete for the structure of the manufacturing building and two additional presses damaged in the fire. The Company began running one of the restored presses at the end of December 2019, while the second is now expected to be ~~paid within~~in use starting June 2020. Two of the ~~second~~six presses damaged in the fire remain to be restored. The Company anticipates having those restored in the fourth quarter of 2020.

During the first six months of fiscal ~~2018.~~


9.	~~Restructuring Costs~~

2020, the Company received cash proceeds from insurance of $6,787 and, separately, the insurance carrier provided $713 proceeds directly to the landlord for the continued restoration of the damaged building as prescribed under the lease arrangement. The table below reflects the receipt of proceeds and how they were expended as of March 31, 2020. Any additional recoveries in excess of recognized losses are treated as gain contingencies and will be recognized when the gain is realized or realizable. The Company ~~completed~~also maintains business interruption insurance coverage and continues to work with the ~~closure~~insurance company to reach an agreement on the recoverable amounts of the Alliance, Ohio ("Alliance") location in October 2017. Orders after September 30, 2017 are processed and manufactured by the Cleveland, Ohio location. As a result of the closure, Alliance incurred non-cash charges as of September 30, 2017. The remaining estimated exit costs are to be expensed as incurred,business interruption expenses, which ~~included workforce reduction costs. Workforce reduction costs incurred at September 30, 2017 were approximately $215, of which a $15~~$915 was ~~paid by September 30, 2017 and the remainder was paid~~realized in the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal ~~2018.~~2020.

The CARES Act, enacted by the federal government on March 27, 2020, established a number of programs designed to assist U.S. companies respond to and recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In response to the economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, as described above in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and taking into consideration the Company’s market capitalization, status as a smaller reporting company, and uncertainties and volatility in, and disruptions to, the capital markets, as well as the terms of the Company’s Credit Agreement, the Company applied for and received funds under the Paycheck Protection Program (or “PPP”) of the CARES Act. On ~~February 8, 2018,~~April 10, 2020, the Company entered into ~~its Third Amendment with its~~an unsecured promissory note under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan to the Company is being made through JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a national banking association and the Company’s existing lender. ~~See Note 4,~~ ~~Debt~~ ~~for further discussion~~The note has an aggregate principal amount of approximately $5,025 and a two year term. The interest rate on the ~~Third Amendment.~~PPP Loan is 0.98%, which shall be deferred for the first six months of the term of the loan. The promissory note evidencing the PPP Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, or provisions of the promissory note. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding, collection of all amounts owing from the Company, and/or filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Company. The loan proceeds were received on April 10, 2020 and have been used and will be used for payroll, interest on mortgage obligations, rents on leases and utility payments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations may contain various forward-looking statements and includes assumptions concerning the Company’s operations, future results and prospects. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are subject to risk and uncertainties. In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company provides this cautionary statement identifying important economic, political and technological factors, among others, the absence or effect of which could cause the actual results or events to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by the forward-looking statements and related assumptions. Such factors include the following: (1) the impact on business conditions in general, and on the demand for products in the Aerospace and Energy ("A&E") industries in particular, of the global economic outlook, including the continuation of military spending at or near current levels and the availability of capital and liquidity from banks and other providers of credit; (2) the future business

environment, including capital and consumer spending; (3) competitive factors, including the ability to replace business that may be lost; (4) metals and commodities price increases and the Company’s ability to recover such price increases; (5) successful development and market introduction of new products and services; (6) continued reliance on consumer acceptance of regional and business aircraft powered by more fuel efficient turbine engines; (7) continued reliance on military spending, in general, and/or several major customers, in particular, for revenues; (8) the impact on future contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans due to changes in actuarial assumptions, government regulations and the market value of plan assets; (9) stable governments, business conditions, laws, regulations and taxes in economies where business is conducted; ~~and~~ (10) the ability to successfully integrate businesses that may be acquired into the Company’s ~~operations.~~operations; (11) extraordinary or force majeure events affecting the business or operations of our business; and (12) the impact of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and related impact on the global economy, which may exacerbate the above factors and/or impact our results of operations and financial condition.

The Company is engaged in the production of forgings and machined components primarily for the A&E markets. The processes and services provided by the Company include forging, heat-treating, machining, subassembly, and test. The Company operates under one business segment.

The Company endeavors to plan and evaluate its business operations while taking into consideration certain factors including the following: (i) the projected build rate for commercial, business and military aircraft, as well as the engines that power such aircraft; (ii) the projected maintenance, repair and overhaul schedules for commercial, business and military aircraft, as well as the engines that power such aircraft; and (iii) the projected build rate and repair for industrial turbines.

The Company operates within a cost structure that includes a significant fixed component. Therefore, higher net sales volumes are expected to result in greater operating income because such higher volumes allow the business operations to better leverage the fixed component of their respective cost structures. Conversely, the opposite effect is expected to occur at lower net sales and related production volumes.

Overview

Fire Restoration

Recovery on the insurance claim related to the fire on December 26, 2018 at the Orange location continues in fiscal 2020. The Company ~~finalized~~continues to work diligently to restore the ~~closure~~site back to full service as safely and quickly as possible. The 2500 ton press from storage that was placed in service in fiscal 2019 continues to run and the press located in Michigan was taken off-line at the end of ~~its Alliance, Ohio ("Alliance") location~~November 2019, was relocated to Orange and was placed in ~~October 2017.

The Company began running one of the restored presses at the end of December 2019, while the second is now expected to be in use starting June 2020. During the first six months of fiscal 2020, the Company received cash proceeds from insurance of $6.8 million, of which $3.5 million was realized in fiscal 2019, $2.3 million was used to offset expense incurred as a result of the ~~closure~~fire and business interruption and $1.0 million used for capital; and, separately, $0.7 million in proceeds from the insurance carrier went directly to the landlord for the continued restoration of ~~Alliance, impairment costs~~the damaged building as prescribed under the lease arrangement.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 caused by a novel strain of the coronavirus was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the ~~building remain classified as assets held for sale as~~outbreak became widespread in the United States and other countries in which we operate. The Company has taken proactive steps to ensure the safety of ~~December 31, 2017.~~its employees and customers and to preserve the Company’s financial flexibility. We have enacted operating protocols to ensure the safety of our employees and adopted precautions in compliance with various regulatory orders and recommendations imposed in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We may decide to take further actions that we determine to be in the best interest of our employees and customers, or are required by federal, state or local authorities.

The ~~Company completed~~A&E industry in which we operate has been impacted by the ~~sale~~COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of this pandemic on this industry as well as the global economy continues to evolve. The extent of the ~~Cork, Ireland building~~pandemic’s effect on ~~December 15, 2017.~~Company’s financial condition, liquidity and future results of operations, as well as the A&E industry generally, depends on future developments, which cannot be predicted at this time. These future developments include, without limitation, the scope and severity of the pandemic, mitigation actions taken in response to the pandemic, the length of time involved in resuming economic activity, and the impact on government programs and budgets. Reduced demand for products or impaired ability to meet customer demand as a result of the pandemic or future developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial performance. Given the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the varied global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not presently able to

estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its future results of operations, financial condition or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.

Backlog of Orders

SIFCO’s total backlog at March 31, 2020 was $107.0 million, compared with $94.1 million as of March 31, 2019 and $117.6 million as of September 30, 2019. Orders may be subject to modification or cancellation by the customer with limited charges. Sales in the A&E markets are impacted by the general economy, newly acquired part numbers won and continued sales recovery from the fire at Orange and may be potentially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has created increased pressure in these markets. If the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a material impact on the A&E markets, including our more significant customers, it could materially affect our business and results of operations. Backlog may decline as customers adjust orders in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on their operations. Backlog information may not be indicative of future sales.

Fixed wing aircraft sales decreased $1.0 million to $25.4 million in the first six months ended March 31, 2020 compared with $26.4 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2019. The decrease is primarily attributed to continued delays in ~~commercial product~~production delivery from the Orange location due to the fire along with reduced production of the Boeing 737 and production timing in the C-130J program. The increase of $1.4 million in rotorcraft sales in the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared to the same period in fiscal 2019 is primarily due to increased shipments related to the Black Hawk program. Commercial products and other revenue ~~sales is largely driven by a decrease~~increased $2.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared to the same period in fiscal 2019, primarily due to timing of shipments for the Hellfire II missile program due to timing of orders. The decrease in fixed wing aircraft sales is primarily due to changes in build demand of Rolls Royce AE Engines due to a buffering plan for a customer plant closure which increasedprogram. Net sales in ~~fiscal 2017. Energy~~energy components for power generation units decreased by ~~$1.7~~$2.4 million compared with the same period last year ~~of which $1.2 million related~~due to the ~~closure~~continued softening of the ~~Alliance location~~energy market and ~~$0.5 million~~some impact due to ~~planned refurbishment~~the global outbreak of ~~a hammer at~~COVID-19. In response to the outbreak of COVID-19, the Italian government restricted the operations of businesses within Italy, including the Company’s operations in Maniago, Italy ("Maniago") ~~location.~~

~~Rotorcraft sales increased $0.7 million~~. The Company received an exemption from these government restrictions based on the nature of its operations, but temporarily reduced its operations in Maniago and also undertook a temporary shutdown from March 17 through March 22 to perform a deep cleaning of the facility for employee safety due to ~~recovery~~the COVID-19 outbreak. The Company re-opened the facility on March 23 and resumed limited production. The temporary cessation of ~~sales from~~operations in Maniago resulted in a ~~customer that had previously taken measures of inventory destocking~~delay in product shipments to customers, which impacted the ~~comparable period.~~quarter by approximately $0.6 million.

Commercial net sales were ~~56.6%~~40.0% of total net sales and military net sales were ~~43.4%~~60.0% of total net sales in the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2018,~~2020, compared with ~~53.6%~~46.9% and ~~46.4%~~53.1%, respectively, in the comparable period in fiscal ~~2017.~~2019. A shift in mix between commercial versus military sales between comparable periods is due to an increase in military programs, such as the Black Hawk program, offset by the decline in energy sales and continued delays in production due to the ongoing recovery efforts at the Orange location resulting in reduced commercial sales. Military net sales ~~decreased~~increased by $4.0 million to ~~$10.6~~$34.0 million in the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2018,~~2020, compared with ~~$14.6~~$30.0 million in the comparable period of fiscal ~~2017,~~2019, primarily due to the timing of shipments for the Hellfire II missile program. Commercial net sales decreased ~~$3.2~~$3.8 million to ~~$13.7~~$22.7 million in the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2018,~~2020, compared with ~~$16.9~~$26.5 million in the comparable period of fiscal ~~2017~~2019 primarily due to ~~changes in program build rates~~the continued business interruption created by the fire at the Orange location, production timing on certain programs and ~~closure of~~ the ~~Alliance location mentioned above.~~ soft energy market.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold decreased by ~~$5.1~~$4.5 million, or ~~18.6%~~8.7%, to ~~$22.2~~$47.1 million, or ~~91.6%~~83.1% of net sales, during the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2018,~~2020, compared with ~~$27.3~~$51.6 million or ~~86.8%~~91.5% of net sales, in the comparable period of fiscal ~~2017.~~2019. The decrease was due primarily to ~~lower volumes~~improved productivity and the receipt of $2.3 million in insurance proceeds related to business interruption and expense incurred related to the fire, partially offset by $1.7 million of unabsorbed costs related to the Orange location due to the fire and the one-time pension withdrawal liability charge of $0.8 million incurred for exiting its multi-employer plan as ~~previously mentioned, lower labor costs of $1.6 million and lower scrap expense of $0.3 million.~~further explained in Note 7, Retirement Benefit Plans.

Gross Profit

Gross profit ~~decreased $2.1~~increased $4.8 million to ~~$2.0~~$9.6 million during the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2018,~~2020, compared with ~~$4.2~~$4.8 million in the comparable period of fiscal ~~2017.~~2019. Gross margin percent of sales was ~~8.4%~~16.9% during the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2018,~~2020, compared with ~~13.2%~~8.6% in the comparable period in fiscal ~~2017.~~2019. The ~~decrease~~increase in gross profit was primarily due to ~~lower sales volume~~improved productivity and ~~mix.~~the inclusion of insurance proceeds related to business interruption and extra expense coverage.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were ~~$4.1~~$7.5 million, or ~~16.8%~~13.3% of net sales during the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2018,~~2020, compared with ~~$5.3~~$7.9 million, or ~~16.8%~~14.0% of net sales in the comparable period of fiscal ~~2017.~~2019. The decrease ~~in selling, general and administrative expenses~~ is ~~primarily~~ due to ~~$1.0~~lower equity compensation of $0.2 million, in lower ~~expansion~~salaries and benefits of $0.2 million and lower legal and professional costs ~~related to one~~ of ~~the Company's plant locations and~~ $0.1 million, ~~in lower sales commissions attributed to changes in the Company's sales organization.~~partially offset by higher incentive compensation accrual of $0.2 million.

The Company also had a gain of $1.4 million in the first three months of fiscal 2018 compared with a nominal amount in the first three months of fiscal 2017. The majority of the gain recognized was due to the sale of the Irish building.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate inthrough the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2018~~2020 was ~~21%~~(8%), compared with ~~(14)%~~16% for the same period of fiscal 2019. The decrease in the ~~comparable period~~effective rate was primarily attributable to changes in jurisdictional mix of income in fiscal ~~2017. This increase is primarily driven by~~2020 compared with the same period of fiscal 2019 and discrete tax benefits ~~of $0.7 million, primarily related to tax legislation enacted in~~through the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2018 and tax impacts related to the sale of the Irish building, partially offset by an increase in~~2019 applied against a year-to-date ~~non-U.S. income in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to the first quarter in fiscal 2017.~~loss. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily ~~due~~ to the valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets and income in foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at different rates than the U.S. statutory tax rate.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the U.S. enacted the Act which, among other items, reduces the U.S. corporate tax rate effective January 1, 2018 from 35% to 21%, creates a participation exemption regime for future distributions of foreign earnings, imposes a one-time transition tax on a taxpayer’s foreign subsidiaries’ earnings not previously subject to U.S. taxation and creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. The decrease in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% results in a blended statutory tax rate of 24.5% for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018. The new taxes for certain foreign-sourced earnings under the Act are effective for the Company after the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018.Net Income (Loss)

The Company revalued its gross U.S. deferred taxes and the related valuation allowance, as a result of the Act. The revaluation, which is considered complete, resulted in a discrete tax benefit of $0.2Net income was $1.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Other provisions of the Act, including the one-time transition tax, are considered provisional as final transition impacts of the Act may differ from the above estimate, due to changes in interpretations of the Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Act, or any updates or changes to estimates the company has utilized to calculate the transition impacts, including impacts from changes to current year earnings estimates and foreign exchange rates of foreign subsidiaries. As a result of the valuation allowance in the U.S. on tax attribute carryforwards, as of the first quarter of fiscal 2018 no charge to tax expense was recorded related to the one-time transition tax. Additionally, the Company released $0.3 million of valuation allowance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 on a portion of its U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of deferred tax liabilities for indefinite lived intangible assets now available as a source of income as a result of the Act. The change in assessment of the realization of deferred taxes as a result of the Act is provisional as of the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as the Company will continue to analyze the necessary information and evaluate assumptions made in its assessment of the realization of its deferred tax assets.

~~Net Loss~~

~~Net loss was $0.9 million during the first three~~six months of fiscal ~~2018,~~2020, compared with a net loss of ~~$2.6~~$2.5 million in fiscal 2019, respectively. The increase in income is primarily due to higher gross profit, attributed to improved productivity and insurance proceeds received in the first six months of fiscal 2020.

Net Sales

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 increased 11.5% to $30.5 million, compared with $27.4 million in the comparable period of fiscal ~~2017.~~2019. Net ~~loss decreased~~sales comparative information for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

Commercial product and other revenue	6.2		2.5		3.7
Total	$	30.5	$	27.4	$	3.1

Total net sales for the Company increased $3.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared with the same period of fiscal 2019. The majority of the increase was attributed to a $3.7 million increase in commercial product and other revenue primarily due to timing of shipments for the ~~decrease~~Hellfire II missile program. Net sales in ~~selling,~~energy components for power generation units decreased by $1.3 million compared with the same period last year due to the continued softening of the energy market and as previously discussed within the six months management and analysis, due to the global outbreak of COVID-19 impacted the quarter by approximately $0.6 million due to the inability to ship to its customers late in the quarter.

Commercial net sales were 40.9% of total net sales and military net sales were 59.1% of total net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, compared with 52.7% and 47.3%, respectively, in the comparable period of fiscal 2019. Military net sales increased by $5.0 million to $18.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, compared with $13.0 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2019. Commercial net sales decreased $1.9 million to $12.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, compared with $14.4 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2019 primarily due to delays in deliveries from the Orange location as a result of damage from the fire and lower sales due to the soft energy market.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold was $24.3 million, or 79.4% of net sales, during the second quarter of fiscal 2020, compared with $25.3 million or 92.4% of net sales, in the comparable period of fiscal 2019, primarily driven by improved productivity and receipt of insurance proceeds of $2.3 million related to business interruption and extra expense coverage.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $4.2 million to $6.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2020, compared with $2.1 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2019. Gross margin was 20.6% during the second quarter of fiscal 2020, compared with 7.6% in the comparable period in fiscal 2019. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher sales volume, improved productivity and receipt of insurance proceeds related to business interruption/extra expense from the Orange fire.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.3 million, or 10.9% of net sales, during the second quarter of fiscal 2020, compared with $3.8 million, or 13.9% of net sales, in the comparable period of fiscal 2019. The slight decrease in expenses was attributed to the unwind of certain stock compensation awards due to the Company falling short of targeted achievement percentages and decrease in legal and professional costs of $0.2 million.

Amortization of Intangibles

Amortization of intangibles was $0.4 million for both the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively.

Other/General

The Company recorded an operating income of $3.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to an operating loss of $0.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

Current period results include a $1.0 million gain in insurance proceeds compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 related to insurance recovery from the damage that occurred related to the fire at the Orange location.

Interest expense was $0.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019.

The following table sets forth the weighted average interest rates and weighted average outstanding balances under the Company’s Credit Agreement in the second quarter of both fiscal 2020 and 2019:

Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was (1%), compared with (3%) for the same period of fiscal 2019. The increase in the effective rate was primarily attributable to changes in jurisdictional mix of income during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period of fiscal 2019 and discrete tax benefits recorded in fiscal 2019 which were non-recurring in fiscal 2020. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate due primarily to the valuation allowance against the Company's U.S. deferred tax assets and income in foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at different rates than the U.S. statutory tax rate.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income was $3.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2020, compared with net loss of $1.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2019. Net income increased primarily due to higher sales and increased gross profit along with the gain on property recovered by insurance of $1.0 million and $1.1 million of business interruption as the ~~sale~~Company continues to work through the rebuilding of the ~~Irish building and the tax benefits realized as noted above.~~Orange location.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Presented below is certain financial information based on the Company's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. References to “EBITDA” mean earnings (losses) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and references to “Adjusted EBITDA” mean EBITDA plus, as applicable for each relevant period, certain adjustments as set forth in the reconciliations of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because itmanagement believes that they are useful indicators for evaluating operating performance and liquidity, including the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and it uses EBITDA to evaluate prospective acquisitions. Although the Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the reasons noted above, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools has limitations. Therefore, reviewers of the Company’s financial information should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results of operations as reported in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include:

Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA reflects the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on indebtedness;

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA reflects any cash requirements for such replacements;

The omission of the substantial amortization expense associated with the Company’s intangible assets further limits the usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA; and

Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA includes the payment of taxes, which is a necessary element of operations.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to the Company to invest in the growth of its businesses. Management compensates for these limitations by not viewing EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation and specifically by using other GAAP measures, such as net income (loss), net sales, and operating

income (loss), to measure operating performance. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and neither should be considered as an alternative to net loss or cash flow from operations determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were ~~$1.1~~both $0.3 million at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017 compared with $1.4 million at~~2020 and September 30, ~~2017.~~2019. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017, approximately $0.9~~2020, all of the $0.3 million of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents ~~was~~were in the possession of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. Distributions from the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries to the Company may be subject to adverse tax consequences.

Historically, the main sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations and borrowings under our Credit Agreement. However, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (and the rapidly changing U.S. and global market and economic conditions due to the COVID-19 outbreak) is highly uncertain, with disruptions to the business of our customers and suppliers, which in turn is likely to impact our business, operations and results as well as our liquidity and capital resources. The Company's liquidity could be negatively affected by extending payment terms to customers and/or a decrease in demand for our products as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (and subsequent to the quarter end), management evaluated the Company’s liquidity and capital resources and took a number of steps to help preserve financial flexibility in light of uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic by deferring wage increases to non-union employees, increased oversight of all capital expenditure approval, working with vendors to reduce costs and subsequent to quarter-end, obtained a Paycheck Protection Program Loan as referenced in Note 11, Subsequent Events and for the reasons described below. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and the Company's operations continues to evolve, the Company and management will continue to assess liquidity needs.

Operating Activities

The Company’s operating activities ~~from operations provided $0.5~~used $0.4 million of cash in the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2018,~~2020, compared with ~~$0.8~~providing cash of $5.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2019. The cash used by operating activities in the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2017. The cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2018~~2020 was primarily due to the use in working capital of $5.1 million (increase in inventory of $2.9 million, $2.2 million in contract assets, net accruals of $1.2 million offset by $1.5 million decrease in receivables) partially offset by net income of $1.9 million

and by $2.8 million of non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization of ~~$2.2~~$3.8 million, offset by ~~a gain on sale of Irish building and other assets of $1.4 million, a net source of working capital of $1.3 million, and $0.7~~$1.0 million of other non-cash items, such as equity based compensation, deferred income taxes and LIFO ~~effect, partially offset by a net loss~~effect.

The cash used for working capital was primarily due to ~~a $1.6 million increase in accounts~~decreased receivables ~~as a result~~due to ~~higher sales.~~

collections, partially offset by timing of payments to suppliers.

Investing Activities

Cash used ~~for~~by investing activities was ~~$0.7~~$0.1 million in the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2018,~~2020, which includes $4.5 million of insurance proceeds received due to the Orange location fire, compared with ~~$0.4~~cash used by investing activities of $1.2 million in the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2017.~~2019. In addition to the ~~$0.7~~$4.6 million expended for capital expenditures during the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2018, $0.4~~2020, $3.9 million was committed for future capital ~~expense~~expenditures as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017.~~2020. The Company anticipates that the total fiscal ~~2018~~2020 capital expenditures will be within the range of ~~$3.5~~$4.5 million to ~~$4.0~~$6.5 million (exclusive of fire related expenditures) and will relate principally to the further enhancement of production and product offering capabilities and operating cost reductions. Separate from the range provided, the Company anticipates incurring additional costs in fiscal 2020 of approximately $5.0 million to $7.0 million in capital expenditures at the Orange location as the result of the fire and resulting damage that took place. These costs are expected to be offset by insurance proceeds, approximately of which $6.8 million of insurance proceeds have been received as of March 31, 2020. Of the proceeds received, $4.5 million have been used towards capital expenditures and the remaining $2.3 million received is offsetting operating costs.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $0.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2020, compared with cash used by financing activities ~~was $0.1~~of $3.2 million in the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal ~~2018, compared with cash provided by financing activities of $1.7 million in the first three months of fiscal 2017.~~2019.

The Company had made repayments of $0.6 million of long-term debt, which $0.5 million were from the Company's foreign term loan, compared with repayments of $0.7 million ~~of long-term debt, of which $0.2 million is a repayment under its term loan and repayments of $0.5 million under its foreign long-term loan, compared to $12.2 million in repayments~~ in the comparable ~~prior period~~ period.

In August 2018, the Company entered into an asset-based Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement") and Security Agreement ("Security Agreement") with a lender.

The net borrowings in the first three months in fiscal 2017 were used to repay long-term debt.~~2019.

On November 9, 2016, the Company entered into a Credit Facility with its Lender. The new Credit Facility matures on June 25, 2020 and consisted of senior secured loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to $39.9 million. The Credit Facility was comprised of (i) a senior secured revolving credit facility of a maximum borrowing amount of $35.0 million, including swing line loans and letters of credit provided by the Lender and (ii) senior secured term loan facility in the amount of $4.9 million (the “Term Facility”). The new Term Facility is repayable in monthly installments of $0.1 million which began December 1, 2016. The terms of the Credit Facility contain both a lock-box arrangement and a subjective acceleration clause. As a result, the amounts outstanding on the revolving credit facility are classified as a short-term liability. The amountsAmounts borrowed under the Credit ~~Facility were used to repay~~Agreement are secured by substantially all the amounts previously outstanding under the Company’s previous Credit Agreement and for working capital, general corporate purposes and to pay fees and expenses associated with this transaction.

The availability at March 31, 2020 was $8.0 million.

On November 28, 2017, the Company obtained a consent letter from its Lender which extended to December 31, 2017 the date to consummate such sale of the Irish property.FCCR calculation was not required.

On February 8, 2018, the Company entered into the Third Amendment Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) to its Credit Facility with the Agent and Lenders under the Credit Facility, in which the Company and the Agent and the Lenders agreed to, among other things, (i) amend the interest rate pricing spreads, (ii) add an owned real property location as part of the collateral and sell certain identified assets at our closed location in Alliance, (iii) adjust the calculation of EBITDA and certain financial covenants, and (iv) revise the financial covenants by adding a new minimum EBITDA test for a specific location and changing the timing of the tests and some of the covenant levels. The Company is in compliance with its loan covenants as of December 31, 2017. Absent the Third Amendment, the Company would not have been in compliance with its financial loan covenant as of December 31, 2017.

~~The Company incurred debt issuance costs and certain costs were written off during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. See Note 4,~~ ~~Debt~~ ~~for further discussion.~~

The Company believes it has adequate cash/liquidity available to finance its operations from the combination of (i) the Company’s expected cash flows from operations, ~~and~~ (ii) funds available under the Credit ~~Facility.~~Agreement for its domestic locations and (iii) subsequent to quarter end, funds received pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program Loan. The Company continues to seek alternatives with its lenders and other potential partners to refinance certain debt obligations at its Maniago location to provide Maniago with sufficient future liquidity. If Maniago is unsuccessful in obtaining additional financing, it may experience certain challenges in meeting certain obligations. This foreign debt is collateralized by Maniago’s assets. The U.S. operations of the Company have not pledged any assets as collateral or guaranteed Maniago’s debt. The consolidated condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of the Maniago assets or the amounts and classifications of the Maniago liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan will provide adequate liquidity to finance Maniago operations.

Additionally, the tightening of the credit market and standards, as well as capital market volatility, could negatively impact our ability to obtain additional debt financing on terms equivalent to our existing Credit Agreement, in the event the Company seeks additional liquidity sources as a result of the continued impact of COVID-19. Capital market uncertainty and volatility, together with the Company’s market capitalization and status as a smaller reporting company could also negatively impact our ability to obtain equity financing.

C. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company's disclosures of critical accounting policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, ~~2017~~2019 have not materially changed since that report was filed, except for the following:

~~Income taxes~~Effective October 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 Leases ("Topic 842"). Prior to the adoption of Topic 842, operating leases were maintained as off balance sheet arrangements. Under the transition method selected by the Company, leases that are not short-term in nature existing at, or entered on October 1, 2019 were required to be recognized and measured. Prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reflected with the Company's historical accounting.

~~On December 22, 2017,~~

The Company determines if a contract contains a lease when the ~~U.S. enacted~~contract conveys the ~~Tax Cut~~right to control the use of identified assets for a period in exchange for consideration. Upon identification and ~~Jobs Act (the "Act"~~commencement of a lease, the Company establishes a right of use ("ROU") asset and a lease liability. Operating leases are included in ROU assets, short-term operating lease liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property, plant, and equipment, current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt on the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

The total lease term is determined by considering the initial lease term per the lease agreement, which is adjusted to include any renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise as well as any period that the Company has control before the stated initial term of the agreement. If the Company determines there exists a reasonable certainty of exercising termination or early buyout options, then the lease terms are adjusted to account for these facts.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard which, among other ~~items, reduces~~things, allowed the ~~U.S. corporate tax rate effective January 1, 2018 from 35%~~Company to 21%, creates a participation exemption regime for future distributions of foreign earnings, imposes a one-time transition tax on a taxpayer’s foreign subsidiaries’ earnings not previously subject to U.S. taxation and creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. Oncarry forward the same day of the Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") issued Staff Bulletin 118 ("SAB 118"). SAB 118 expresses views of the SEC regarding ASC Topic 740, Income taxes ("ASC 740") in the reporting period that includes the enactment date of the Act. The SEC staff issuing SAB 118 recognized that a Company’s review of certain income tax effects of the Act may be incomplete at the time the financial statements are issued for the reporting period that includes the enactment date, including interim periods therein. If a company does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed for certain income tax effects of the Act, SAB 118 allows a company to report provisional numbers and adjust those amounts during the measurement period not to extend beyond one year from the day of enactment. historical lease classification.

ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of ~~tax expense in~~ the ~~period in which~~future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company ~~is subject to~~uses the ~~rules (the “period cost method”), or (ii) account for GILTI~~incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the ~~Company’s measurement of deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). Currently, the Company has not elected a method and will only do so after its completion~~present value of the ~~analysis~~future payments. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while the expense for finance leases is recognized as depreciation expense and interest expense using the accelerated interest method of recognition. A lease asset and lease liability are not recorded for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less and the ~~GILTI provisions and its election method will depend, in part, on analyzing its global income to determine whether the Company expects to have future material U.S. inclusions in its taxable income~~lease expense related to ~~GILTI and, if so,~~these leases is recognized as incurred over the ~~impact that is expected.~~lease term.

D. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In ~~February~~June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial ~~Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, “~~Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~Leases~~ ~~(Topic 842).” This~~" and subsequent updates. ASU ~~requires lessees~~2016-13 changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model. The new expected credit loss impairment model will apply to ~~recognize a lease liability~~most financial assets measured at amortized cost and ~~a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet~~certain other instruments, including trade and ~~aligns many~~other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt instruments, net investments in leases, loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Upon initial recognition of the ~~underlying principles~~exposure, the expected credit loss model requires entities to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of ~~the new lessor model~~an exposure (or pool of exposures). The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. Financial instruments with those in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition for capital and operating leases existing at or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, but itsimilar risk characteristics should be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not prescribe a specific method to make the estimate, so its application will require ~~transition accounting for leases that expire prior to the date of initial adoption. The~~significant judgment. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, ~~2018,~~2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ~~Early adoption~~However, in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, "Financial Instruments - Credit Loss (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)," which defers the effective date for public filers that are considered smaller reporting companies ("SRC"), as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

In ~~May 2014,~~December 2019, ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the ~~FASB~~Accounting for Income Taxes" was issued ~~ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~ ~~(Topic 606).” ASU 2014-09 completes~~to (i) reduce the ~~joint effort by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board to improve financial reporting by creating common~~

~~revenue recognition guidance for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net).” The ASU 2016-08 clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.~~” This ASU 2016-10 clarifies the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations. These ASUs, along with subsequent updates, apply to all companies that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services, and are effective for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will adopt the new guidance on October 1, 2018. The Company is executing a bottom up approach to analyze the standard's impact on its revenues by looking at historical policies and practices and identifying the differences from applying the new standard to its revenue streams. The Company has determined that many of its long-term agreements contain variable consideration clauses and is in the process of quantifying the impact to its consolidated financial statements. In addition, some of the Company's agreements have clauses which may require the Company to recognize revenue over time. The majority of the Company's current revenue is recognized at a point-in-time. As such, SIFCO continues to evaluate the impactcomplexity of the standard ~~on its financial reporting, disclosures~~by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and ~~related systems~~(ii) improve consistency and ~~internal controls. The Company has engaged a third party to assist with its efforts.~~

~~E. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards~~

~~In March 2016, the FASB issued~~simplify other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This ASU ~~2016-09,~~ ~~Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,~~ which amends existing guidance related to accounting for employee share-based payments affecting the income tax consequences of awards, classification of awards as equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, ~~2016, and early adoption~~2020. The Company is ~~permitted.

Also, this guidance requires cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes to be classified in the consolidated condensed statement of cash flows as a financing activity, which differs fromrules on the Company's ~~previous method~~financial condition, results of ~~classification of such cash payments as an operating activity. The Company applied this provision retrospectively,~~operations and for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, impact between operating activities to financing activities was nominal. This guidance also requires the tax effects of exercised or vested awards to be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur, which was applied prospectively, beginning October 1, 2017 by the Company. Due to the Company having recorded a domestic valuation allowance, the tax impact upon adoption of this ASU was not material to the consolidated condensed financial statements. Lastly, the guidance requires that excess tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows, which differs from the Company’s historical classification of excess tax benefits as cash inflows from financing activities. The Company elected to apply this provision using the prospective transition method. disclosure.

E. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

~~In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11,~~ For recently adopted accounting standards refer to Note 1,~~Simplifying the Measurement~~ Summary of ~~Inventory~~Significant Accounting Policies - Recently Adopted Accounting Standards, which provides new guidance to simplify the measurement of inventory valuation at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

The adoption of this ASU in the first quarter ended December 31, 2017 had no impact on the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements. for further detail.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures include components of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2020 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as a result of the continuing

existence of the material ~~weaknesses~~weakness in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting described in Item 9A of the Company's ~~2017~~2019 Annual ~~Report.~~Report on Form 10-K.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

The following material ~~weaknesses~~weakness related to our control environment existed as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017.~~2020.

Key controls around segregation of duties and periodic access reviews within IT general and application controls for ~~domestic operations were not operating effectively.~~

~~Key controls within business and IT processes~~the Cleveland operation were not designed ~~and~~or operating ~~effectively at Maniago.~~effectively.

~~Due to a lack of resources in accounting personnel, the Company did not evaluate a complex accounting issue in a timely manner.~~

The control environment deficiencies described above could have resulted in a failure to prevent or detect a material misstatement in our financial statements due to the omission of information or inappropriate conclusions regarding information required to be recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in the Company’s SEC reports. Notwithstanding the identified material ~~weaknesses,~~ weakness,

management believes the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly represent in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management and the Company's Board of Directors are committed to improving the Company's overall system of internal controls over financial reporting.

To address the material ~~weaknesses~~weakness identified in our control environment, ~~management~~the Company is taking the following actions to remediate the material ~~weaknesses:~~weakness:

Implement a robust security and access reviews at a level of precision necessary to ensure they are timely and ~~appropriate, including monitoring activities for users with privileged access.~~appropriate. The Company is making progress ~~and~~by utilizing external assistance. Using a risk-based approach, management will ~~continue to explore other information technology tools with additional~~implement detective and monitoring business process controls to further mitigate ~~this risk.~~

~~Management is unable to remediate the Company’s Maniago~~ IT general controls for fiscal year 2018. However, management will continue to perform a quarterly evaluation of business process control effectiveness, implement periodic monitoring controls over its financial review procedures, and deploy additional resources to enhance its internal controls over financial reporting.

~~Management will evaluate the structure of the finance organization and consider adding resources to further strengthen its internal controls~~risks over financial reporting.

With the oversight of senior management and the Company's Board of Directors, the Company continues to take steps and additional measures to remediate the underlying causes of the identified material ~~weaknesses,~~weakness, including but not limited to (i) evaluating our information technology systems or invest in improvements to our technology sufficient to generate accurate, transparent, and timely financial information, and (ii) continue to strengthen organizational structure by holding individuals accountable for their internal control responsibilities.

Although we ~~expect~~continue to make meaningful progress inon our remediation plan during fiscal year ~~2018,~~2020, we cannot estimate how long it will take to complete the process or the costs of actions required. There is no assurance that the aforementioned plans will be sufficient and that additional steps may not be necessary.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting and other Remediation

~~Except as for the remediation items described in Item 4 related to prior year findings, there have been no~~No material changes in ~~the Company’s~~our internal ~~controls~~control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(f) and 15d‑15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the ~~Company’s most recent fiscal quarter~~period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q that ~~have~~has materially affected, or ~~are~~is reasonably likely to materially affect, ~~the Company’s~~our internal ~~controls~~control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Items ~~1A,~~2, 3, 4 and 45 are not applicable or the answer to such items is negative; therefore, the items have been omitted and no reference is required in this Quarterly Report.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in ordinary, routine legal actions. The Company cannot reasonably estimate future costs, if any, related to these matters and does not believe any such matters are material to its financial condition or results of operations. The Company maintains various liability insurance coverages to protect its assets from losses arising out of or involving activities associated with ongoing and normal business operations; however, it is possible that the Company’s future operating results could be affected by future costs of litigation. For a more ~~complete description of~~information regarding our outstanding material legal proceedings, see Note 8,10, Commitments and Contingencies.

Item ~~5. Other Information~~1A. Risk Factors

~~On February 8, 2018,~~The Company is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, (1) the ~~Company entered~~impact on business conditions in general, and on the demand for products in the A&E industries in particular, of the global economic outlook, including the continuation of military spending at or near current levels and the availability of capital and liquidity from banks and other providers of credit; (2) the future business environment, including capital and consumer spending; (3) competitive factors, including the ability to replace business that may be lost; (4) metals and commodities price increases and the Company’s ability to recover such price increases; (5) successful development and market introduction of new products and services; (6) continued reliance on consumer acceptance of regional and business aircraft powered by more fuel efficient turbine engines; (7) continued reliance on military spending, in general, and/or several major customers, in particular, for revenues; (8) the impact on future contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans due to changes in actuarial assumptions, government regulations and the market value of plan assets; (9) stable governments, business conditions, laws, regulations and taxes in economies where business is conducted; (10) the ability to successfully integrate businesses that may be acquired into ~~its Third Amendment Agreement ("Third Amendment") to its Credit Facility, as further~~the Company’s operations; and (11) extraordinary or force majeure events affecting the business or operations of our business, any of which could have a material effect on us. Investors should consider the risks described ~~under Part I – Financial Information – Item 2. Management’s~~below and all of the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report

on Form 10-Q, including our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, ~~– B. Liquidity~~” in evaluating our business and ~~Capital Resources~~prospects. If any of the risks described herein occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected. Additional risks and uncertainties, including risks not currently known or that are currently deemed immaterial may also adversely affect our business financial conditions or results of operations.

Our business is subject to risks associated with widespread public health crises, including the current COVID-19 pandemic.

In March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the outbreak subsequently became increasingly widespread in the United States and other countries in which we operate. While we are actively monitoring the pandemic and taking steps to mitigate the risks posed by its spread, there is no guarantee that our efforts will mitigate the adverse impacts of COVID-19 or will be effective. Uncertain factors relating to the COVID-19 pandemic include the duration of the outbreak, the severity of the disease, and the actions, or perception of actions that may be taken, to contain or treat its impact, including declarations of states of emergency, business closures, manufacturing restrictions and a prolonged period of travel, commercial and/or other similar restrictions and limitations.

The pandemic is affecting and is expected to continue to affect certain elements of our operations and business. We have experienced operational interruptions as a result of COVID-19, including the temporary suspension of operations at our facilities in Maniago, Italy. However, these operational interruptions are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations.

We have begun to experience and expect to continue to experience unpredictable changes in demand from the markets we serve. The A&D industries have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of various restrictions on air travel and concern regarding air travel during a pandemic. These factors have caused reductions in demand for commercial aircraft, which will adversely impact our net sales and operating results and may continue to do so for an extended period of time. Further, an overall reduction in business activity as a result of the disruption has led to a continued softening of the energy market. If the pandemic continues and conditions worsen, we may experience additional adverse impacts on our operations, costs, customer orders, and collections of accounts receivable, which may be material. While we are unable to predict the magnitude of the impact of these factors at this ~~Quarterly Report~~time, the loss of, or significant reduction in, purchases by our large customers could have a material adverse effect on ~~Form 10-Q,~~our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Additionally, the pandemic could lead to an extended disruption of economic activity whereby the impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be material. While the potential economic impact brought by and the duration of the coronavirus outbreak may be difficult to assess or predict, a widespread pandemic could result in significant or sustained disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity. In addition, while we believe we have taken appropriate steps to maintain a safe workplace to protect our employees from contracting and spreading the coronavirus, we may not be able to prevent the spread of the virus among our employees, face litigation or other proceedings making claims related to unsafe working conditions, inadequate protection of our employees or other claims. Any of these claims, even if without merit, could result in costly litigation or divert management's attention and resources. Furthermore, we may face a sustained disruption to our operations due to one or more of the factors described above.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may also exacerbate other risks and uncertainties the Company faces or may face. The impact depends on the severity and duration of the current COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response, each of which is ~~incorporated herein by reference. The Third Amendment is included as Exhibit 10.11~~uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to ~~this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.~~predict.
