Background and Organization | Note 1. Background and Organization Description of Business Haynes International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “Haynes”, “we”, “our” or “us”) develops, manufactures, markets and distributes technologically advanced, high-performance alloys primarily for use in the aerospace, industrial gas turbine and chemical processing industries. The Company’s products are high-temperature resistant alloys (“HTA”) and corrosion-resistant alloys (“CRA”). The Company’s HTA products are used by manufacturers of equipment that is subjected to extremely high temperatures, such as jet engines for the aerospace industry, gas turbine engines for power generation, waste incineration and industrial heating equipment. The Company’s CRA products are used in applications that require resistance to extreme corrosion, such as chemical processing, power plant emissions control and hazardous waste treatment. The Company produces its high-performance alloys primarily in sheet, coil and plate forms. In addition, the Company produces its products as seamless and welded tubulars, and in slab, bar, billets and wire forms. High-performance alloys are characterized by highly engineered, often proprietary, metallurgical formulations primarily of nickel, cobalt and other metals with complex physical properties. The complexity of the manufacturing process for high-performance alloys is reflected in the Company’s relatively high average selling price per pound, compared to the average selling price of other metals, such as carbon steel sheet, stainless steel sheet and aluminum. The high-performance alloy industry has significant barriers to entry such as the combination of (i) demanding end-user specifications, (ii) a multi-stage manufacturing process and (iii) the technical sales, marketing and manufacturing expertise required to develop and sell new applications. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Haynes International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated. The Company has manufacturing facilities in Kokomo, Indiana; Mountain Home, North Carolina; and Arcadia, Louisiana with service centers in LaPorte, Indiana; LaMirada, California; Houston, Texas; Windsor, Connecticut; Openshaw, England; Lenzburg, Switzerland; Shanghai, China; and sales offices in Paris, France; Zurich, Switzerland; Singapore; Milan, Italy; and Tokyo, Japan. B. The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments, including investments with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition, to be cash equivalents, the carrying value of which approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these investments. C. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company markets its products to a diverse customer base, both in the United States of America and overseas. Trade credit is extended based upon evaluation of each customer’s ability to perform its obligation, which is updated periodically. D. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of customer contracts are satisfied which occurs when control of the goods and services has been transferred to the customer. Allowances for sales returns are recorded as a component of net sales in the periods in which the related sales are recognized. The Company determines this allowance based on historical experience. Additionally, the Company recognizes revenue attributable to an up-front fee received from Titanium Metals Corporation (TIMET) as a result of a twenty-year agreement entered into on November 17, 2006 to provide conversion services to TIMET. See Note 16, Deferred Revenue for a description of accounting treatment relating to this up-front fee. E. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory in an amount equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market or scrap value, if applicable, based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. F. The Company has goodwill, trademarks, customer relationships and other intangibles as of September 30, 2019. As the customer relationships have a definite life, they are amortized over fifteen years. The Company reviews customer relationships for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Goodwill and trademarks (indefinite lived) are tested for impairment at least annually as of January 31 for goodwill and August 31 for trademarks (the annual impairment testing dates), or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. If the carrying value of the trademarks exceeds the fair value (determined using an income approach, based upon a discounted cash flow of an assumed royalty rate), impairment of the trademark may exist resulting in a charge to earnings to the extent of the impairment. The impairment test for goodwill is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment loss in the event that the carrying amount is greater than the fair value. Any goodwill impairment loss recognized would not exceed the total carrying amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. No impairment was recognized in the years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 or 2019 because the fair value exceeded the carrying values. During fiscal 2017, 2018 and 2019, there were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill. Amortization of the patents, customer relationships and other intangibles was $496, $527 and $255 for the years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The following represents a summary of intangible assets at September 30, 2018 and 2019: Gross Accumulated Carrying September 30, 2018 Amount Amortization Amount Patents $ 4,030 $ (3,977) $ 53 Trademarks 3,800 — 3,800 Customer relationships 2,100 (574) 1,526 Other 291 (131) 160 $ 10,221 $ (4,682) $ 5,539 Gross Accumulated Carrying September 30, 2019 Amount Amortization Amount Patents $ — $ — $ — Trademarks $ 3,800 $ — $ 3,800 Customer relationships 2,100 (718) 1,382 Other 291 (189) 102 $ 6,191 $ (907) $ 5,284 Estimated future Aggregate Amortization Expense: Year Ended September 30, 2020 $ 198 2021 185 2022 133 2023 129 2024 126 Thereafter 713 G. Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost with depreciation calculated primarily by using the straight-line method based on estimated economic useful lives, which are generally as follows: Buildings and improvements 40 years Machinery and equipment 5 — 14 years Land improvements 20 years Expenditures for maintenance and repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense; major renewals are capitalized. Upon retirement or sale of assets, the cost of the disposed assets and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. The Company records capitalized interest for long-term construction projects to capture the cost of capital committed prior to the placed in service date as a part of the historical cost of acquiring the asset. Interest is not capitalized when the balance on the revolver is zero. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment was recognized during the years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 or 2019. H. When it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset of the Company has been impaired, a loss is recognized assuming the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The measurement of environmental liabilities by the Company is based on currently available facts, present laws and regulations and current technology. Such estimates take into consideration the expected costs of post-closure monitoring based on historical experience. I. The Company has defined benefit pension and postretirement plans covering most of its current and former employees. Significant elements in determining the assets or liabilities and related income or expense for these plans are the expected return on plan assets, the discount rate used to value future payment streams, expected trends in health care costs and other actuarial assumptions. Annually, the Company evaluates the significant assumptions to be used to value its pension and postretirement plan assets and liabilities based on current market conditions and expectations of future costs. If actual results are less favorable than those projected by management, additional expense may be required in future periods. Salaried employees hired after December 31, 2005 and hourly employees hired after June 30, 2007 are not covered by the pension plan; however, they are eligible for an enhanced matching program of the defined contribution plan (401(k)). Effective December 31, 2007, the U.S. pension plan was amended to freeze benefits for all non-union employees in the U.S. Effective September 30, 2009, the U.K. pension plan was amended to freeze benefits for employees in the plan. Effective January 1, 2007, a plan amendment of the postretirement medical plan caps the Company’s liability related to retiree health care costs at $5,000 annually. J. The Company’s foreign operating entities’ financial statements are denominated in the functional currencies of each respective country, which are the local currencies. All assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of the year, and revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average rate for the year. Translation gains or losses are recorded as a separate component of comprehensive income (loss) and transaction gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses arising from the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions in foreign currency are included in selling, general and administrative expense. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts (See Note 20, Foreign Currency Forward Contracts). The purpose of these forward contracts is to reduce income statement volatility resulting from the transaction gains and losses. K. Research and technical costs related to the development of new products and processes are expensed as incurred. Research and technical costs for the years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019 were $3,855, $3,785 and $3,592, respectively. L. The Company accounts for deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is required if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The determination of whether or not a valuation allowance is needed is based upon an evaluation of both positive and negative evidence. In its evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance, the Company utilizes prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. The ultimate amount of deferred tax assets realized could be different from those recorded, as influenced by potential changes in enacted tax laws and the availability of future taxable income. The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) it is determined whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority (See Note 7, Income Taxes). M. As described in Note 12, the Company has incentive compensation plans that provide for the issuance of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, stock options and stock appreciation rights to key employees and non-employee directors. To date, the Company has only issued restricted stock, performance shares and stock options. The Company recognizes compensation expense under the fair-value based method as a component of operating expenses. N. The Company may periodically enter into forward currency exchange contracts to minimize the variability in the Company’s operating results arising from foreign exchange rate movements. The Company does not engage in foreign currency speculation. At September 30, 2018 and 2019, the Company had no foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding. To date, all foreign currency contracts have been settled prior to the end of the month in which they were initiated. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. At September 30, 2019, and periodically throughout the year, the Company has maintained cash balances in excess of federally insured limits. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. During 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Company did not have sales to any group of affiliated customers that were greater than 10% of net revenues. The Company generally does not require collateral with the exception of letters of credit with certain foreign sales. Credit losses amounted to $228, $688 and $530 in fiscal 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively, and were within management’s expectations. The Company does not believe it is significantly vulnerable to the risk of near-term severe impact from business concentrations with respect to customers, suppliers, products, markets or geographic areas. O. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventories, income taxes, asset impairment, retirement benefits and environmental matters. The process of determining significant estimates is fact specific and takes into account factors such as historical experience, current and expected economic conditions, product mix, pension asset mix and in some cases, actuarial techniques, and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company routinely reevaluates these significant factors and makes adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. P. The Company accounts for earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to participation rights in undistributed earnings. Non-vested restricted stock awards that include non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. Basic and diluted net income per share were computed as follows: Years ended September 30, (in thousands, except share and per share data) 2017 2018 2019 Numerator: Basic and Diluted Net income (loss) $ (10,190) $ (21,751) $ 9,745 Dividends (11,009) (11,027) (11,037) Undistributed income (loss) (21,199) (32,778) (1,292) Percentage allocated to common shares (a) 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % Undistributed income (loss) allocated to common shares (21,199) (32,778) (1,292) Dividends paid on common shares outstanding 10,905 10,933 10,987 Net income (loss) available to common shares (10,294) (21,845) 9,695 Denominator: Basic and Diluted Weighted average common shares outstanding 12,397,099 12,419,564 12,445,212 Adjustment for dilutive potential common shares — — 35,696 Weighted average shares outstanding - Diluted 12,397,099 12,419,564 12,480,908 Basic net income (loss) per share $ (0.83) $ (1.75) $ 0.78 Diluted net income (loss) per share $ (0.83) $ (1.75) $ 0.78 Number of stock option shares excluded as their effect would be anti-dilutive 310,417 329,276 371,151 Number of restricted stock shares excluded as their effect would be anti-dilutive 107,854 91,008 — (a) Percentage allocated to common shares - weighted average Common shares outstanding 12,397,099 12,419,564 12,445,212 Unvested participating shares — — — 12,397,099 12,419,564 12,445,212 Q. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The objective of the update is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized, along with expanded disclosure requirements. An entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting this accounting standard update using the modified retrospective method, the Company had no cumulative effect to record on the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. See Note 3 for further explanation, including all newly expanded disclosure requirements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . This standard contains principles that will require an entity to recognize leases on the balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The standard also contains other changes to the current lease guidance that may result in changes to how entities determine which contractual arrangements qualify as a lease, the accounting for executory costs, such as property taxes and insurance, as well as which lease origination costs will be capitalizable. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The standard allows the use of the modified retrospective transition method, whereby the new guidance will be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements of the period of adoption. The modified retrospective transition approach includes certain practical expedients that entities may elect to apply in transition. In July 2018, the FASB amended ASC 842 to provide another transition method, allowing a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings during the period of adoption. The Company will adopt this standard effective October 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method which does not require adjustments to comparative periods or require modified disclosures for those periods. In addition, the Company anticipates electing certain practical expedients and transition reliefs, including the short-term lease recognition exemption, which excludes leases with a term of 12 months or less from recognition on the balance sheet, recognizing lease components and nonlease components together as a single lease component, and the transition relief package which, among other things, includes not reassessing the lease classification or whether a contract is or contains a lease. The Company is continuing to finalize new processes and internal controls required to comply with the new lease standard. The adoption of ASC 842 will not have a material impact on the Statement of Operations or Statement of Cash Flows. The recording of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities is expected to not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) . This new guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard, effective October 1, 2018 and adjusted retrospectively. This application resulted in the addition of restricted cash of $5,446 to cash and cash equivalents for the beginning period of the year ended September 30, 2017 and reduced cash generated from restricted cash on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) . This new guidance requires entities to (1) disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement and (2) present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if that subtotal is presented. In addition, the ASU requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other components if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines. The amendments in this ASU also only allow the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization. This new guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard on October 1, 2018. The amendments are applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. As a result of the retrospective change in presentation, the Company reclassified $15,979 and $824 from cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, to nonoperating retirement benefit expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, the Company reclassified $8,157 and $81 from cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, to nonoperating retirement benefit expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations The Company used the practical expedient allowed in the standard upon transition that permitted entities to use their previously disclosed service cost and other costs from the prior years’ pension and other postretirement benefit plan footnotes in the comparative periods as appropriate estimates when retrospectively changing the presentation of these costs in the income statement. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to accumulated earnings for standard tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this standard during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and it is expected to have an impact of increasing accumulated other comprehensive loss and increasing retained earnings by approximately $13,300. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) . This new guidance removes and modifies disclosure requirements on fair value statements. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, on its disclosures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20) . This new guidance removes and modifies disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Some disclosure requirements that are removed include, among others, amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year and the effects of a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the (a) aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and (b) benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this standard, effective October 1, 2018. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The new current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses, and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, on the Companies Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Revenues from Contracts with Customers | Note 3. Revenues from Contracts with Customers On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This new guidance requires the Company to apply a five-step analysis to: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. This new guidance was adopted using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of ASC 606 did not result in the need to recognize a cumulative effect of initial application as an adjustment to retained earnings. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company has presented reserves for sales returns within accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheet which differs from previous periods which included these reserves as contra-assets within accounts receivable. Performance Obligations Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of contracts with the customer are satisfied, which occurs when control of the goods and services has been transferred to the customer. This predominately occurs upon shipment or delivery of the product or when the service is performed. The Company may occasionally have customer agreements involving production and shipment of goods that would require revenue to be recognized over time in accordance with the new guidance due to there being no alternative use for the product without significant economic loss and enforceable right to payment including a normal profit margin from the customer in the event of contract termination. Over-time recognition was a change from the accounting for these products, which was point-in-time prior to the adoption of the new standard. As of October 1, 2018 and September 30, 2019, the Company did not have any customer agreements that would require revenue to be recorded over time. Each customer purchase order or contract for goods transferred represents a single performance obligation for which revenue is recognized at either a point in time or over-time as described in the preceding paragraph. The standard terms and conditions of a customer purchase order include limited warranties and the right of customers to have products that do not meet specifications repaired or replaced, at the Company’s option. Such warranties do not represent a separate performance obligation. The customer agreement with Titanium Metals Corporation (“TIMET”) (See Note 16) includes the performance obligation to provide conversion services for up to ten million pounds of titanium metal annually over a twenty-year period which ends in fiscal 2027. The transaction price under this contract included a $50,000 up-front fee as well as conversion service fees based upon the fulfillment of conversion services requested at the option of TIMET. In accordance with ASC 606, the $50,000 fee is allocated to the obligation to provide manufacturing capacity over time and, therefore, is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the 20-year term of that agreement. The fees for conversion services are based on quantity of service and are recognized as revenue at the time the service is performed. Transaction Price Each customer purchase order or contract sets forth the transaction price for the products and services purchased under that arrangement. Some customer arrangements may include variable consideration, such as volume rebates, which generally depend upon the Company’s customers meeting specified performance criteria, such as a purchasing level over a period of time. The Company exercises judgment to estimate the most likely amount of variable consideration at each reporting date. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers. Revenue is derived from product sales or conversion services, and is reported net of sales discounts, rebates, incentives, returns and other allowances offered to customers, if applicable. Payment terms vary from customer to customer depending upon credit worthiness, prior payment history and other credit considerations. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling activities to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer of the goods are included in revenues and costs incurred by the Company for the delivery of goods and are classified as cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income. Shipping terms may vary for products shipped outside the United States depending on the mode of transportation, the country where the material is shipped and any agreements made with the customers. Contract Balances As of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2019, accounts receivable with customers were $74,567 and $77,420, respectively. Allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2019 were $1,130 and $441, respectively, and are presented within accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts on the consolidated balance sheet. Contract liabilities are recognized when the Company has received consideration from a customer to transfer goods or services at a future point in time when the Company performs under the purchase order or contract. As of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2019, no contract liabilities have been recorded except for $20,329 and $17,829, respectively, for the TIMET agreement. Practical Expedients The Company has elected to use the practical expedient that permits the omission of disclosure for remaining performance obligations which are expected to be satisfied within one year or less. Aside from the TIMET agreement, the Company does not have any remaining performance obligations in excess of one year or contracts that it does not have the right to invoice as of September 30, 2019. Disaggregation of Revenue Revenue is disaggregated by end-use markets. The following table includes a breakdown of net revenues to the markets served by the Company for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Income Taxes | Note 7. Income Taxes On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Act”), which made significant changes to U.S. federal income tax law including, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates, permitting bonus depreciation that will allow for full expensing of qualified property and imposing a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Beginning October 1, 2017 and continuing through September 30, 2018, the Company’s U.S. income was taxed at a 24.5% federal tax rate after which time the federal tax rate applicable to the Company was lowered to 21.0%. During fiscal 2018, deferred tax assets were revalued to the lower statutory rates of 21.0% which resulted in increased tax expense during fiscal 2018 of $16,633. An additional component of the Act, the transition tax applied on accumulated earnings and profits of controlled foreign corporations, resulted in increased tax expense of $2,170 during fiscal 2018. On December 22, 2017, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has completed its accounting for the income tax effects of the Act.. The components of income (loss) before provision for income taxes and the provision for income taxes are as follows: Year Ended September 30, 2017 2018 2019 Income (loss) before income taxes: U.S. $ (25,090) $ (16,650) $ 790 Foreign 7,873 12,596 12,580 Total $ (17,217) $ (4,054) $ 13,370 Provision for (benefit from) income taxes: Current: U.S. Federal $ 933 $ (7,690) $ (267) Foreign 1,652 2,404 2,259 State 401 (137) 2 Total 2,986 (5,423) 1,994 Deferred: U.S. Federal (8,781) 25,141 1,423 Foreign — — 132 State (1,427) (2,496) 62 Valuation allowance 195 475 14 Total (10,013) 23,120 1,631 Total provision for (benefit from) income taxes $ (7,027) $ 17,697 $ 3,625 The provision for income taxes applicable to results of operations differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate as follows: Year Ended September 30, 2017 2018 2019 Statutory federal tax rate 35.00 % 24.53 % 21.00 % Tax provision for income taxes at the statutory rate $ (6,026) $ (1,059) $ 2,808 Foreign tax rate differentials (1,103) (685) (157) Provision for state taxes, net of federal taxes (371) (45) 247 U.S. tax on distributed and undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries 452 240 486 Manufacturer’s deduction — (86) — Tax credits (409) (511) (499) Transition tax — 2,170 — Federal and state tax rate change impact on deferred tax asset 192 16,633 314 Net operating loss carryback — 407 — Change in valuation allowance 195 475 14 Stock compensation — — 655 Other, net 43 158 (243) Provision for income taxes at effective tax rate $ (7,027) $ 17,697 $ 3,625 Effective tax rate 40.8 % (436.5) % 27.1 % During fiscal 2017, the Company’s effective tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate, primarily due to the Company incurring a pre-tax loss in the United States and pre-tax income in the United Kingdom which has a lower effective tax rate than the statutory rate. When incurring a pre-tax loss, the effective tax rate of the Company will be higher than the statutory rate if certain tax jurisdictions with lower tax rates incur pre-tax income as a partial offset to the pre-tax loss in the United States. During fiscal 2018, the Company’s effective tax rate was negative relative to the statutory rate primarily due to the Act that resulted in significant impacts on the value of the deferred tax asset as well a one-time transition tax on income generated by foreign entities. The Act lowered the statutory rate from 35% to 21%, however, the 2018 statutory rate is calculated to be 24.53% based on the fiscal year-end date of September 30, 2018. During fiscal 2019, the Company’s effective tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, the global intangible low-tax income tax (GILTI) and the forfeiture of stock options, restricted stock and performance share awards that occurred during the year. Deferred tax assets (liabilities) are comprised of the following: September 30, 2018 2019 Deferred tax assets: Pension and postretirement benefits $ 38,343 $ 48,367 TIMET Agreement 4,775 4,163 Inventories 2,091 1,706 Accrued compensation and benefits 1,387 770 Accrued expenses and other 2,977 3,308 Tax attributes 4,178 4,441 Valuation allowance (1,661) (1,675) Total deferred tax assets $ 52,090 $ 61,080 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment, net $ (27,521) $ (27,873) Intangible and other (1,034) (1,091) Total deferred tax liabilities $ (28,555) $ (28,964) Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $ 23,535 $ 32,116 As of September 30, 2019, the Company had state tax net operating loss carryforwards of $14,093, tax credits of $3,719 and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $1,786. These tax attributes begin to expire in 2026, 2024, and 2020, respectively. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $415 and federal and state tax credits of $1,260 because management does not believe that it is more likely than not that net operating loss carryforwards will be realized. Undistributed earnings of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $71,311 at September 30, 2019. The Company considers those earnings reinvested indefinitely and, accordingly, aside from the one-time transition tax associated with the Act, no additional provision for U.S. income taxes has been provided. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation. As of September 30, 2019, the Company is open to examination in the U.S. for the 2016 through 2019 tax years and in various foreign jurisdictions from 2016 through 2019. The Company is also open to examination in various states in the U.S., none of which were individually material. As of September 30, 2018 and 2019, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. |

Debt | Note 8. Debt U.S. revolving credit facility The Company and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) entered into a Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with certain other lenders with an effective date of July 14, 2011. On July 7, 2016, the Company amended the agreement to, among other things, extend the term through July 7, 2021 and reduce unused line fees and certain administrative fees. The maximum revolving loan amount under the Amended Agreement is $120.0 million, subject to a borrowing base formula and certain reserves. The Amended Agreement permits an increase in the maximum revolving loan amount from $120.0 million up to an aggregate amount of $170.0 million at the request of the Company. Borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either Wells Fargo’s “prime rate,” plus up to 0.75% per annum, or the adjusted Eurodollar rate used by the lender, plus up to 2.0% per annum. As of September 30, 2019, the U.S. revolving credit facility had a zero balance. In addition, the Company must pay monthly, in arrears, a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum on the unused amount of the U.S. revolving credit facility total commitment. For letters of credit, the Company must pay 1.5% per annum on the daily outstanding balance of all issued letters of credit, plus customary fees for issuance, amendments and processing. The Company is subject to certain covenants such as fixed charge coverage ratios and other customary covenants, including covenants restricting the incurrence of indebtedness, the granting of liens and the sale of assets. The covenant pertaining to fixed charge coverage ratios is only effective in the event the amount of excess availability under the revolver is less than 10.0% of the maximum credit revolving loan amount. The Company is permitted to pay dividends and repurchase common stock if certain financial metrics are met (which do not apply in the case of regular quarterly dividends less than $20.0 million in the aggregate in a year and repurchases in connection with the vesting of shares of restricted stock). Borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility are collateralized by a pledge of substantially all of the U.S. assets of the Company, including the equity interests in its U.S. subsidiaries, but excluding the four-high Steckel rolling mill and related assets, which are pledged to Titanium Metals Corporation (“TIMET”) to secure the performance of the Company’s obligations under a Conversion Services Agreement with TIMET (see discussion of TIMET at Note 16). The U.S. revolving credit facility is also secured by a pledge of a 65% equity interest in each of the Company’s direct foreign subsidiaries.

Pension Plan and Retirement Benefits | Note 9. Pension Plan and Retirement Benefits Defined Contribution Plans The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan (401(k)) for substantially all U.S. employees. The Company contributes an amount equal to 50% of an employee’s contribution to the plan up to a maximum contribution of 3% of the employee’s salary, except for all salaried employees and certain hourly employees (those hired after June 30, 2007 that are not eligible for the U.S. pension plan). The Company contributes an amount equal to 60% of an employee’s contribution to the plan up to a maximum contribution of 6% of the employee’s salary for these groups. Expenses associated with this plan for the years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019 totaled $1,590, $1,811 and $1,940, respectively. The Company sponsors certain profit sharing plans for the benefit of employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. There were no contributions to these plans for the years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Defined Benefit Plans The Company has non-contributory defined benefit pension plans which cover most employees in the U.S. and the U.K. Benefits provided under the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan are based on years of service and the employee’s final compensation. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute annually an amount deductible for federal income tax purposes based upon an actuarial cost method using actuarial and economic assumptions designed to achieve adequate funding of benefit obligations. The Company has non-qualified pensions for former executives of the Company. Non-qualified pension plan expense for the years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019 was $19, $34 and $98, respectively. Accrued liabilities in the amount of $716 and $719 for these benefits are included in accrued pension and postretirement benefits liability at September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively. In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Substantially all domestic employees become eligible for these benefits, if they reach normal retirement age while working for the Company. The Company’s liability related to total retiree health care costs is limited to $5,000 annually. The Company made contributions of $6,000, $8,000, and $4,500 to fund its domestic Company-sponsored pension plan for the years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The Company’s U.K. subsidiary made contributions of $804, $782 and $737 for the years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively, to the U.K. pension plan. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company transferred assets of $13,576 to a third-party insurance company in exchange for the assumption of pension liability for approximately 397 retired participants. The pension liability for those retirees is not included in the projected benefit obligation as of September 30, 2018 or September 30, 2019. The Company uses a September 30 measurement date for its plans. The status of employee pension benefit plans and other postretirement benefit plans is summarized below: Defined Benefit Postretirement Pension Plans Health Care Benefits Year Ended Year Ended September 30, September 30, 2018 2019 2018 2019 Change in Benefit Obligation: Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 310,803 $ 278,280 $ 117,424 $ 108,013 Service cost 5,536 5,239 336 318 Interest cost 10,801 10,652 4,311 4,353 Actuarial gains (losses) (19,756) 42,130 (10,395) 4,245 Benefits paid (14,178) (13,734) (3,663) (3,095) Transfer to third-party insurance company (13,576) — — — Administrative expenses (1,350) (1,089) — — Projected benefit obligation at end of year $ 278,280 $ 321,478 $ 108,013 $ 113,834 Change in Plan Assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ 224,094 $ 222,273 $ — $ — Actual return on assets 18,501 13,230 — — Employer contributions 8,782 5,237 3,663 3,095 Benefits paid (14,178) (13,734) (3,663) (3,095) Transfer to third-party insurance company (13,576) — — — Administrative expenses (1,350) (1,089) — — Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 222,273 $ 225,917 $ — $ — Funded Status of Plan: Unfunded status $ (56,007) $ (95,561) $ (108,013) $ (113,834) The actuarial gains incurred during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 were primarily driven from an increases in discount rates applied against future expected benefit payments and resulted in a decrease in the benefit obligation for both the Defined Benefit Pension Plan and Postretirement Health Care Plan. Conversely, the actuarial losses incurred during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 were primarily driven from a decrease in discount rates applied against future expected benefit payments and resulted in an increase in the benefit obligation for both the Defined Benefit Pension Plan and Postretirement Health Care Plan. The benefit obligation, as of September 30, 2018 was also reduced by the transfer of a portion of the benefit obligation to a third-party insurance company in the amount of $13,576. Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets are as follows: Defined Benefit Postretirement Non-Qualified All Plans Pension Plans Health Care Benefits Pension Plans Combined September 30, September 30, September 30, September 30, 2018 2019 2018 2019 2018 2019 2018 2019 Accrued pension and postretirement benefits: Current $ — $ — $ (5,000) $ (4,155) $ (95) $ (95) $ (5,095) $ (4,250) Non - current (56,007) (95,561) (103,013) (109,679) (621) (624) (159,641) (205,864) Accrued pension and postretirement benefits $ (56,007) $ (95,561) $ (108,013) $ (113,834) $ (716) $ (719) $ (164,736) $ (210,114) Accumulated other comprehensive loss: Net loss 38,808 80,711 21,891 24,650 — — 60,699 105,361 Prior service cost 1,839 2,066 — — — — 1,839 2,066 Total accumulated other comprehensive loss $ 40,647 $ 82,777 $ 21,891 $ 24,650 $ — $ — $ 62,538 $ 107,427 The non-current portion of the defined benefit pension plan portion of accrued pension and postretirement benefits amounts to $56,007 and $95,561 in fiscal 2018 and 2019, respectively. These amounts include the UK pension plan net pension asset of $5,444 and $5,627, respectively, which is included in Other assets on the consolidated balance sheets as well as the US pension plan accrued pension liability of $61,451 and $101,188, respectively, which are recorded in accrued pension benefit (less current portion) on the consolidated balance sheet. The accumulated benefit obligation for the pension plans was $269,386 and $309,410 at September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The cost of the Company’s postretirement benefits is accrued over the years employees provide service to the date of their full eligibility for such benefits. The Company’s policy is to fund the cost of claims on an annual basis. The components of net periodic pension cost and postretirement health care benefit cost are as follows: Defined Benefit Pension Plans Year Ended September 30, 2017 2018 2019 Service cost $ 6,282 $ 5,536 $ 5,239 Interest cost 10,577 10,801 10,652 Expected return on assets (14,419) (15,157) (14,907) Amortization of prior service cost 808 374 228 Recognized actuarial loss 11,267 4,910 1,449 Net periodic cost $ 14,515 $ 6,464 $ 2,661 Postretirement Health Care Benefits Year Ended September 30, 2017 2018 2019 Service cost $ 350 $ 336 $ 318 Interest cost 4,292 4,311 4,353 Recognized actuarial loss 4,278 2,999 1,487 Net periodic cost $ 8,920 $ 7,646 $ 6,158 Assumptions A 5.0% ( 5.0%-2018) annual rate of increase for the costs of covered health care benefits for ages under 65 and a 5.0% ( 5.0%-2018) annual rate of increase for ages over 65 were assumed for 2019 and remained at 5.0% for the under 65 and over 65 age groups in the years thereafter. The actuarial present value of the projected pension benefit obligation and postretirement health care benefit obligation for the plans at September 30, 2018 and 2019 were determined based on the following assumptions: September 30, September 30, 2018 2019 Discount rate (postretirement health care) 4.13 % 3.13 % Discount rate (U.S. pension plan) 4.00 % 2.88 % Discount rate (U.K. pension plan) 2.80 % 1.70 % Rate of compensation increase (U.S. pension plan only) 2.50 % 2.50 % The net periodic pension and postretirement health care benefit costs for the plans were determined using the following assumptions: Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Health Care Plans Year Ended September 30, 2017 2018 2019 Discount rate (postretirement health care plan) 3.50 % 3.75 % 4.13 % Discount rate (U.S. pension plan) 3.25 % 3.63 % 4.00 % Discount rate (U.K. pension plan) 2.30 % 2.50 % 2.80 % Expected return on plan assets (U.S. pension plan) 7.50 % 7.25 % 7.25 % Expected return on plan assets (U.K. pension plan) 2.70 % 3.30 % 3.20 % Rate of compensation increase (U.S. pension plan only) 3.50 % 2.50 % 2.50 % Plan Assets and Investment Strategy The Company’s pension plan assets by level within the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2018 and 2019, are presented in the table below. The pension plan assets were accounted for at fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Investments in U.S and International equities, and Fixed Income are held in mutual funds and common / collective funds which are valued using net asset value (NAV) provided by the administrator of the fund. For more information on a description of the fair value hierarchy, see Note 17.

A secondary financial objective is, where possible, to avoid significant downside risk in the short run. The objective is based on a long-term investment horizon so that interim fluctuations should be viewed with appropriate perspective. It is the policy of the U.S. pension plan to invest assets with an allocation to equities as shown below. The balance of the assets is maintained in fixed income investments, and in cash holdings, to the extent permitted by the plan documents. Asset classes as a percent of total assets: Asset Class Target (1) Equity 60 % Fixed Income 40 % Real Estate and Other — % (1) From time to time the Company may adjust the target allocation by an amount not to exceed 10%. In determining the expected rate of return on U.S. plan assets, the Company takes into account the target plan’s allocation at September 30, 2019 of 60% equities and 40% fixed income. The Company assumes an approximately 3.00% to 4.00% equity risk premium above the broad bond market yields of 4.00% to 6.00%. Note that over very long historical periods, the realized risk premium has been higher. The Company believes that its assumption of a 7.25% long-term rate of return on plan assets is comparable to other companies, given the target allocation of the plan assets; however, there exists the potential for the use of a lower rate in the future. The U.K. pension plan assets follow a more conservative investment objective due to the higher funding status of the plan. Contributions and Benefit Payments The Company has not yet determined the amounts to contribute to its domestic pension plans, domestic other postretirement benefit plans and the U.K. pension plan in fiscal 2020. Pension and postretirement health care benefits, which include expected future service, are expected to be paid out of the respective plans as follows: Postretirement Fiscal Year Ending September 30 Pension Health Care 2020 $ 14,858 $ 4,155 2021 15,282 4,487 2022 15,830 4,794 2023 16,281 4,965 2024 16,682 4,894 2025 - 2029 (in total) 86,758 23,939 |

Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies | |
Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies | Note 11. Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies Legal The Company is regularly involved in litigation, both as a plaintiff and as a defendant, relating to its business and operations, including environmental, commercial, employment and federal and/or state Equal Employment Opportunity Commission administrative actions. Future expenditures for environmental, employment, intellectual property and other legal matters cannot be determined with any degree of certainty. In January 2017, a customer based in the United Kingdom wrote to the Company making a claim in relation to certain product sold to that customer by the Company. This writing was followed up by claim correspondence in 2018 and 2019. The Company has engaged its legal advisors in the United Kingdom to respond to the claim, and correspondence between the parties’ respective counsel remains ongoing. To date, the insurers have not accepted coverage responsibility for the claim but have agreed to fund expenses of legal counsel selected by the Company through the date of the determination regarding coverage. The Company intends to pursue such coverage as and if necessary while vigorously defending against the customer claim. Liability for the claim is disputed, and the amount of the claim, if any, remains unclear. Based on the facts presently known, management does not believe that the claim will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Environmental The Company has received permits from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources to close and provide post‑closure environmental monitoring and care for certain areas of its Kokomo, Indiana and Mountain Home, North Carolina facilities, respectively. The Company is required to, among other things, monitor groundwater and to continue post‑closure maintenance of the former disposal areas at each site. As a result, the Company is aware of elevated levels of certain contaminants in the groundwater, and additional testing and corrective action by the Company could be required. The Company is unable to estimate the costs of any further corrective action at these sites, if required. Accordingly, the Company cannot assure that the costs of any future corrective action at these or any other current or former sites would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has accrued $606 for post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities, of which $508 is included in long-term obligations as it is not due within one year. Accruals for these costs are calculated by estimating the cost to monitor and maintain each post-closure site and multiplying that amount by the number of years remaining in the post-closure monitoring. Expected maturities of post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities (discounted) included in long-term obligations are as follows at September 30, 2019. 2021 $ 74 2022 64 2023 81 2024 60 2025 and thereafter 229 $ 508 On February 11, 2016, the Company voluntarily reported to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality a leak that it discovered in one of its chemical cleaning operations at its Arcadia, Louisiana facility. As a result of the discovery, the Company is working with that department to determine the extent of the issue and appropriate remediation. |

Stock-Based Compensation | |
Stock-Based Compensation | Note 12. Stock - based Compensation Restricted Stock Plan On February 23, 2009, the Company adopted a restricted stock plan that reserved 400,000 shares of common stock for issuance. Additionally, on March 1, 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan which provides for grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares, among other awards. Up to 275,000 shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares may be granted in the aggregate under this plan. Following the adoption of the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan, the Company ceased granting awards from the 2009 restricted stock plan, although awards remain outstanding thereunder. Grants of restricted stock are comprised of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to transfer restrictions, which vest in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may set vesting requirements based on the achievement of specific performance goals or the passage of time. Restricted shares are subject to forfeiture if employment or service terminates prior to the vesting date or if any applicable performance goals are not met. The Company will assess, on an ongoing basis, the probability of whether the performance criteria will be achieved. The Company will recognize compensation expense over the performance period if it is deemed probable that the goals will be achieved. The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock is determined based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date. The plan provides for the adjustment of the number of shares covered by an outstanding grant and the maximum number of shares for which restricted stock may be granted in the event of a stock split, extraordinary dividend or distribution or similar recapitalization event. The shares of time-based restricted stock granted to employees vest on the third anniversary of their grant date if the recipient is still an employee of the Company on such date. The shares of restricted stock granted to non-employee directors will vest on the earlier of (a) the first anniversary of the date of grant or (b) the failure of such non-employee director to be re-elected at an annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company as a result of such non-employee director being excluded from the nominations for any reason other than cause. The following table summarizes the activity under the 2009 restricted stock plan and the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan with respect to restricted stock for the year ended September 30, 2019: Weighted Average Fair Number of Value At Shares Grant Date Unvested at September 30, 2018 81,993 $ 37.28 Granted 28,238 $ 33.96 Forfeited / Canceled (19,944) $ 37.41 Vested (28,449) $ 39.02 Unvested at September 30, 2019 61,838 $ 34.94 Expected to vest 61,838 $ 34.94 Compensation expense related to restricted stock for the years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019 was $1,340, $836, and $631, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock at September 30, 2019 was $976, to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.36 years. During fiscal 2019, the Company repurchased 11,356 shares of stock from employees at an average purchase price of $32.60 to satisfy required withholding taxes upon vesting of restricted stock-based compensation. Deferred Restricted Stock On November 20, 2017, the Company adopted a deferred compensation plan that allows directors and officers the option to defer receipt of cash and stock compensation. Beginning on November 21, 2017, the Company granted shares of restricted stock from the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan with respect to which elections were made by certain individuals to defer receipt to a future period. Such shares vest in accordance with the parameters of the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan, however, receipt of the shares and any corresponding dividends are deferred until the end of the deferral period. In the event the deferred shares are forfeited prior to the vesting date, deferred dividends pertaining to those shares will also be forfeited. During the deferral period, the participants who elected to defer shares will not have voting rights with respect to those shares. The following table summarizes the activity under the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan with respect to deferred restricted stock for the year ended September 30, 2019. Weighted Average Fair Number of Value At Shares Grant Date Unvested and deferred at September 30, 2018 16,550 $ Granted 12,500 $ Vested and deferred (16,550) Unvested and deferred at September 30, 2019 12,500 $ Vested and deferred at September 30, 2019 16,550 $ Compensation expense related to deferred restricted stock for the year ended September 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019 was $0, $438 and $442, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock at September 30, 2019 was $71, to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.17 years. Performance Shares Beginning in fiscal 2017, the Company granted to certain employees target numbers of performance shares under the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan. The number of performance shares that will ultimately be earned, as well as the number of shares that will be distributed in settling those earned performance shares, if any, will not be determined until the end of the performance period. Performance shares earned will depend on the calculated total shareholder return of the Company at the end of the three-year period commencing from the beginning of the fiscal year in which the award was granted as compared to the total shareholder return of the Company’s peer group, as defined by the Compensation Committee for this purpose. The fair value of the performance shares is estimated as of the date of the grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The following table summarizes the activity under the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan with respect to performance shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Weighted Average Fair Number of Value At Shares Grant Date Unvested at September 30, 2018 30,344 $ Granted 24,282 $ Forfeited / Canceled (16,073) $ Unvested at September 30, 2019 38,553 $ Compensation expense related to the performance shares for the years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019 was $336, $500 and $738, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to performance shares at September 30, 2019 was $967, to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.17 years. Stock Option Plans The Company’s 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan and its previous stock option plans authorize, or formerly authorized, the granting of non-qualified stock options to certain key employees and non-employee directors for the purchase of a maximum of 1,925,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. On March 1, 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan which provides for grants of up to 425,000 stock options and stock appreciation rights. Following the adoption of the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan, the Company ceased granting awards from its previous stock option plans, although awards remain outstanding from a plan that was adopted in January 2007, which provided for the grant of options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Each plan provides for the adjustment of the maximum number of shares for which options may be granted in the event of a stock split, extraordinary dividend or distribution or similar recapitalization event. Unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, options are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant and vest 33 1/3 % per year over three years from the grant date. The amount of compensation cost recognized in the financial statements is measured based upon the grant date fair value. The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate fair value, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rates and dividend yields. The volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected term of the stock option granted. The Company uses historical volatility because management believes such volatility is representative of prospective trends. The expected term of an award is based on historical exercise data. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the awards. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectations regarding dividend payouts at the time of the grant.

This guidance requires non-service costs components of retirement expense to be reclassified outside of operating income to a new category titled “Nonoperating retirement benefit expense” in the statement of operations. Gross margins were favorably impacted by the reclassification of the non-service cost components of retirement expense. All prior periods have been adjusted for this change in accounting. |

Deferred Revenue | |
Deferred Revenue | Note 16. Deferred Revenue On November 17, 2006, the Company entered into a twenty-year agreement to provide conversion services to Titanium Metals Corporation (TIMET) for up to ten million pounds of titanium metal annually. TIMET paid the Company a $50,000 up-front fee and will also pay the Company for its processing services during the term of the agreement (20 years) at prices established by the terms of the agreement. TIMET may exercise an option to have ten million additional pounds of titanium converted annually, provided that it offers to loan up to $12,000 to the Company for certain capital expenditures which may be required to expand capacity. In addition to the volume commitment, the Company has granted TIMET a first priority security interest in its four-high Steckel rolling mill, along with rights of access if the Company enters into bankruptcy or defaults on any financing arrangements. The Company has agreed not to manufacture titanium products (other than cold reduced titanium tubing). The Company has also agreed not to provide titanium hot-rolling conversion services to any entity other than TIMET for the term of the Conversion Services Agreement. The agreement contains certain default provisions which could result in contract termination and damages, including liquidated damages of $25,000 and the Company being required to return the unearned portion of the up-front fee. The Company considered each provision and the likelihood of the occurrence of a default that would result in liquidated damages. Based on the nature of the events that could trigger the liquidated damages clause, and the availability of the cure periods set forth in the agreement, the Company determined and continues to believe that none of these circumstances are reasonably likely to occur. Therefore, events resulting in liquidated damages have not been factored in as a reduction to the amount of revenue recognized over the life of the contract. The cash received of $50,000 is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the 20-year term of the agreement. If an event of default occurred and was not cured within any applicable grace period, the Company would recognize the impact of the liquidated damages in the period of default and re-evaluate revenue recognition under the contract for future periods. The portion of the up-front fee not recognized in income is shown as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet. |

Fair Value Measurements | |
Fair Value Measurements | Note 17. Fair Value Measurements The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the inputs used to determine fair value: · Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; · Level 2—Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and · Level 3—Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. When available, the Company uses unadjusted quoted market prices to measure fair value. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally-developed models that use, where possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Items valued using internally-generated models are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. The valuation model used depends on the specific asset or liability being valued. U.S and International equities, Fixed Income, and Other Investments held in the Company’s pension plan are held in mutual funds and common / collective funds which are valued using net asset value (NAV) provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. These investments are not classified in the fair value hierarchy in accordance with guidance included in ASU 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) . The fair value of Cash and Cash Equivalents is determined using Level 1 information. The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2018 and 2019: September 30, 2018 Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 NAV Total Assets: Pension plan assets $ — $ — $ — $ 222,273 $ 222,273 Total fair value $ — $ — $ — $ 222,273 $ 222,273 September 30, 2019 Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 NAV Total Assets: Pension plan assets $ — $ — $ — $ 225,917 $ 225,917 Total fair value $ — $ — $ — $ 225,917 $ 225,917 The Company had no other financial assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2018 or 2019. |

Long-term Obligations | Note 19. Long-term Obligations On January 1, 2015, the Company entered into a capital lease agreement for the building that houses the assets and operations of LaPorte Custom Metal Processing (LCMP). The capital asset and obligation are recorded at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The asset is included in Property, plant and equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and is depreciated over the 20 year lease term. The long term component of the capital lease obligation is included in Long term obligations. The Company entered into a twenty-year “build-to-suit” lease for a building that houses the assets and operations of the service center located in LaPorte, Indiana that was relocated from Lebanon, Indiana. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company took occupancy of the building. The Company retained substantially all of the construction risk and was deemed to be the owner of the facility for accounting purposes, even though it is not the legal owner. Construction costs incurred relative to the buildout of the facility of approximately $4,100 are included in Property, plant and equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and depreciated over the 20-year lease term. The Company accounts for the related build-to-suit liability as a financing obligation. As of September 30, 2019, future minimum lease rental payments applicable to the lease obligations were as follows. 2020 $ 995 2021 1,000 2022 1,012 2023 1,024 2024 1,032 Thereafter 11,540 Total minimum lease payments 16,603 Less amounts representing interest (8,624) Present value of net minimum lease payments 7,979 Less current obligation (170) Total long-term lease obligation $ 7,809 The lease obligations are included in Long-term obligations (less current portion) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts | Note 20. Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts. The purpose of these forward contracts is to reduce income statement volatility resulting from foreign currency denominated transactions. The Company has not designated the contacts as hedges; therefore, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. All of these contracts are designed to be settled within the same fiscal quarter they are entered into and, accordingly, as of September 30, 2018 and 2019, there are no contracts that remain unsettled. As a result, there is no impact to the balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 or September 30, 2019. Foreign exchange hedging gains and losses are recorded within Selling, General and Administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations along with foreign currency transactional gains and losses as follows. Year Ended Year Ended September 30, September 30, 2018 2019 Foreign currency transactional gain (loss) $ 411 $ 1,071 Foreign exchange forward contract gain (loss) (918) (1,638) Net gain (loss) included in selling, general and administrative expense $ (507) $ (567) |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Principles of Consolidation and Nature of Operations | A. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Haynes International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated. The Company has manufacturing facilities in Kokomo, Indiana; Mountain Home, North Carolina; and Arcadia, Louisiana with service centers in LaPorte, Indiana; LaMirada, California; Houston, Texas; Windsor, Connecticut; Openshaw, England; Lenzburg, Switzerland; Shanghai, China; and sales offices in Paris, France; Zurich, Switzerland; Singapore; Milan, Italy; and Tokyo, Japan. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | B. The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments, including investments with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition, to be cash equivalents, the carrying value of which approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these investments. |
Accounts Receivable | C. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company markets its products to a diverse customer base, both in the United States of America and overseas. Trade credit is extended based upon evaluation of each customer’s ability to perform its obligation, which is updated periodically. |
Revenue Recognition | D. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of customer contracts are satisfied which occurs when control of the goods and services has been transferred to the customer. Allowances for sales returns are recorded as a component of net sales in the periods in which the related sales are recognized. The Company determines this allowance based on historical experience. Additionally, the Company recognizes revenue attributable to an up-front fee received from Titanium Metals Corporation (TIMET) as a result of a twenty-year agreement entered into on November 17, 2006 to provide conversion services to TIMET. See Note 16, Deferred Revenue for a description of accounting treatment relating to this up-front fee. |
Inventories | E. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory in an amount equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market or scrap value, if applicable, based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | F. The Company has goodwill, trademarks, customer relationships and other intangibles as of September 30, 2019. As the customer relationships have a definite life, they are amortized over fifteen years. The Company reviews customer relationships for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Goodwill and trademarks (indefinite lived) are tested for impairment at least annually as of January 31 for goodwill and August 31 for trademarks (the annual impairment testing dates), or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. If the carrying value of the trademarks exceeds the fair value (determined using an income approach, based upon a discounted cash flow of an assumed royalty rate), impairment of the trademark may exist resulting in a charge to earnings to the extent of the impairment. The impairment test for goodwill is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment loss in the event that the carrying amount is greater than the fair value. Any goodwill impairment loss recognized would not exceed the total carrying amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. No impairment was recognized in the years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 or 2019 because the fair value exceeded the carrying values. During fiscal 2017, 2018 and 2019, there were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill. Amortization of the patents, customer relationships and other intangibles was $496, $527 and $255 for the years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The following represents a summary of intangible assets at September 30, 2018 and 2019: Gross Accumulated Carrying September 30, 2018 Amount Amortization Amount Patents $ 4,030 $ (3,977) $ 53 Trademarks 3,800 — 3,800 Customer relationships 2,100 (574) 1,526 Other 291 (131) 160 $ 10,221 $ (4,682) $ 5,539 Gross Accumulated Carrying September 30, 2019 Amount Amortization Amount Patents $ — $ — $ — Trademarks $ 3,800 $ — $ 3,800 Customer relationships 2,100 (718) 1,382 Other 291 (189) 102 $ 6,191 $ (907) $ 5,284 Estimated future Aggregate Amortization Expense: Year Ended September 30, 2020 $ 198 2021 185 2022 133 2023 129 2024 126 Thereafter 713 |
Property, Plant and Equipment | G. Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost with depreciation calculated primarily by using the straight-line method based on estimated economic useful lives, which are generally as follows: Buildings and improvements 40 years Machinery and equipment 5 — 14 years Land improvements 20 years Expenditures for maintenance and repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense; major renewals are capitalized. Upon retirement or sale of assets, the cost of the disposed assets and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. The Company records capitalized interest for long-term construction projects to capture the cost of capital committed prior to the placed in service date as a part of the historical cost of acquiring the asset. Interest is not capitalized when the balance on the revolver is zero. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment was recognized during the years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 or 2019. |
Environmental Remediation | H. When it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset of the Company has been impaired, a loss is recognized assuming the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The measurement of environmental liabilities by the Company is based on currently available facts, present laws and regulations and current technology. Such estimates take into consideration the expected costs of post-closure monitoring based on historical experience. |
Pension and Postretirement Benefits | I. The Company has defined benefit pension and postretirement plans covering most of its current and former employees. Significant elements in determining the assets or liabilities and related income or expense for these plans are the expected return on plan assets, the discount rate used to value future payment streams, expected trends in health care costs and other actuarial assumptions. Annually, the Company evaluates the significant assumptions to be used to value its pension and postretirement plan assets and liabilities based on current market conditions and expectations of future costs. If actual results are less favorable than those projected by management, additional expense may be required in future periods. Salaried employees hired after December 31, 2005 and hourly employees hired after June 30, 2007 are not covered by the pension plan; however, they are eligible for an enhanced matching program of the defined contribution plan (401(k)). Effective December 31, 2007, the U.S. pension plan was amended to freeze benefits for all non-union employees in the U.S. Effective September 30, 2009, the U.K. pension plan was amended to freeze benefits for employees in the plan. Effective January 1, 2007, a plan amendment of the postretirement medical plan caps the Company’s liability related to retiree health care costs at $5,000 annually. |
Foreign Currency Exchange | J. The Company’s foreign operating entities’ financial statements are denominated in the functional currencies of each respective country, which are the local currencies. All assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of the year, and revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average rate for the year. Translation gains or losses are recorded as a separate component of comprehensive income (loss) and transaction gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses arising from the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions in foreign currency are included in selling, general and administrative expense. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts (See Note 20, Foreign Currency Forward Contracts). The purpose of these forward contracts is to reduce income statement volatility resulting from the transaction gains and losses. |
Research and Technical Costs | K. Research and technical costs related to the development of new products and processes are expensed as incurred. Research and technical costs for the years ended September 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019 were $3,855, $3,785 and $3,592, respectively. |
Income Taxes | L. The Company accounts for deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is required if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The determination of whether or not a valuation allowance is needed is based upon an evaluation of both positive and negative evidence. In its evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance, the Company utilizes prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. The ultimate amount of deferred tax assets realized could be different from those recorded, as influenced by potential changes in enacted tax laws and the availability of future taxable income. The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) it is determined whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority (See Note 7, Income Taxes). |
Stock-based Compensation | M. As described in Note 12, the Company has incentive compensation plans that provide for the issuance of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, stock options and stock appreciation rights to key employees and non-employee directors. To date, the Company has only issued restricted stock, performance shares and stock options. The Company recognizes compensation expense under the fair-value based method as a component of operating expenses. |
Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Risk | N. The Company may periodically enter into forward currency exchange contracts to minimize the variability in the Company’s operating results arising from foreign exchange rate movements. The Company does not engage in foreign currency speculation. At September 30, 2018 and 2019, the Company had no foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding. To date, all foreign currency contracts have been settled prior to the end of the month in which they were initiated. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. At September 30, 2019, and periodically throughout the year, the Company has maintained cash balances in excess of federally insured limits. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. During 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Company did not have sales to any group of affiliated customers that were greater than 10% of net revenues. The Company generally does not require collateral with the exception of letters of credit with certain foreign sales. Credit losses amounted to $228, $688 and $530 in fiscal 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively, and were within management’s expectations. The Company does not believe it is significantly vulnerable to the risk of near-term severe impact from business concentrations with respect to customers, suppliers, products, markets or geographic areas. |
Accounting Estimates | O. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventories, income taxes, asset impairment, retirement benefits and environmental matters. The process of determining significant estimates is fact specific and takes into account factors such as historical experience, current and expected economic conditions, product mix, pension asset mix and in some cases, actuarial techniques, and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company routinely reevaluates these significant factors and makes adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. |
Earnings Per Share | P. The Company accounts for earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to participation rights in undistributed earnings. Non-vested restricted stock awards that include non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. Basic and diluted net income per share were computed as follows: Years ended September 30, (in thousands, except share and per share data) 2017 2018 2019 Numerator: Basic and Diluted Net income (loss) $ (10,190) $ (21,751) $ 9,745 Dividends (11,009) (11,027) (11,037) Undistributed income (loss) (21,199) (32,778) (1,292) Percentage allocated to common shares (a) 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % Undistributed income (loss) allocated to common shares (21,199) (32,778) (1,292) Dividends paid on common shares outstanding 10,905 10,933 10,987 Net income (loss) available to common shares (10,294) (21,845) 9,695 Denominator: Basic and Diluted Weighted average common shares outstanding 12,397,099 12,419,564 12,445,212 Adjustment for dilutive potential common shares — — 35,696 Weighted average shares outstanding - Diluted 12,397,099 12,419,564 12,480,908 Basic net income (loss) per share $ (0.83) $ (1.75) $ 0.78 Diluted net income (loss) per share $ (0.83) $ (1.75) $ 0.78 Number of stock option shares excluded as their effect would be anti-dilutive 310,417 329,276 371,151 Number of restricted stock shares excluded as their effect would be anti-dilutive 107,854 91,008 — (a) Percentage allocated to common shares - weighted average Common shares outstanding 12,397,099 12,419,564 12,445,212 Unvested participating shares — — — 12,397,099 12,419,564 12,445,212 |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Q. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The objective of the update is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized, along with expanded disclosure requirements. An entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting this accounting standard update using the modified retrospective method, the Company had no cumulative effect to record on the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. See Note 3 for further explanation, including all newly expanded disclosure requirements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . This standard contains principles that will require an entity to recognize leases on the balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The standard also contains other changes to the current lease guidance that may result in changes to how entities determine which contractual arrangements qualify as a lease, the accounting for executory costs, such as property taxes and insurance, as well as which lease origination costs will be capitalizable. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The standard allows the use of the modified retrospective transition method, whereby the new guidance will be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements of the period of adoption. The modified retrospective transition approach includes certain practical expedients that entities may elect to apply in transition. In July 2018, the FASB amended ASC 842 to provide another transition method, allowing a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings during the period of adoption. The Company will adopt this standard effective October 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method which does not require adjustments to comparative periods or require modified disclosures for those periods. In addition, the Company anticipates electing certain practical expedients and transition reliefs, including the short-term lease recognition exemption, which excludes leases with a term of 12 months or less from recognition on the balance sheet, recognizing lease components and nonlease components together as a single lease component, and the transition relief package which, among other things, includes not reassessing the lease classification or whether a contract is or contains a lease. The Company is continuing to finalize new processes and internal controls required to comply with the new lease standard. The adoption of ASC 842 will not have a material impact on the Statement of Operations or Statement of Cash Flows. The recording of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities is expected to not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) . This new guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard, effective October 1, 2018 and adjusted retrospectively. This application resulted in the addition of restricted cash of $5,446 to cash and cash equivalents for the beginning period of the year ended September 30, 2017 and reduced cash generated from restricted cash on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) . This new guidance requires entities to (1) disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement and (2) present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if that subtotal is presented. In addition, the ASU requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other components if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines. The amendments in this ASU also only allow the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization. This new guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard on October 1, 2018. The amendments are applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. As a result of the retrospective change in presentation, the Company reclassified $15,979 and $824 from cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, to nonoperating retirement benefit expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, the Company reclassified $8,157 and $81 from cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, to nonoperating retirement benefit expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations The Company used the practical expedient allowed in the standard upon transition that permitted entities to use their previously disclosed service cost and other costs from the prior years’ pension and other postretirement benefit plan footnotes in the comparative periods as appropriate estimates when retrospectively changing the presentation of these costs in the income statement. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to accumulated earnings for standard tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this standard during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and it is expected to have an impact of increasing accumulated other comprehensive loss and increasing retained earnings by approximately $13,300. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) . This new guidance removes and modifies disclosure requirements on fair value statements. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, on its disclosures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20) . This new guidance removes and modifies disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Some disclosure requirements that are removed include, among others, amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year and the effects of a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the (a) aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and (b) benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this standard, effective October 1, 2018. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The new current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses, and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, on the Companies Consolidated Financial Statements. |
