CANTON, Ohio: February 20, 2020 - TimkenSteel (NYSE: TMST), a leader in customized alloy steel products and services, today reported 2019 fourth quarter net sales of $227 million and a net loss of $85 million. In the same quarter last year, net sales were $406 million with net loss of $29 million. Excluding certain items, the adjusted net loss⁽¹⁾ was $27 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared with adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ of $14 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the fourth quarter of 2019 was a loss of $8.7 million.

For the full-year 2019, net sales were $1.2 billion with a net loss of $110 million. In comparison, full-year 2018 net sales were $1.6 billion with a net loss of $10 million. Excluding certain items, the adjusted net loss⁽¹⁾ was $47 million for full-year 2019 and adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ was $35 million for full-year 2018. Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for full-year 2019 was $32 million.

“We continue to take significant steps to improve the company’s cost structure and manage working capital efficiency while we simplify the organization, focus on serving our customers and improve safety across the company. We've recently reduced our salaried workforce by 14 percent; divested non-core assets; frozen certain long-term salaried benefit plans and executed a host of other actions across the company to position us for success in the future,” said Terry L. Dunlap, interim chief executive officer and president.

Operating cash flow was $46 million and $70 million for the fourth quarter and full-year 2019, respectively. As a result of deliberate inventory reductions across the organization, coupled with careful management of other working capital elements, the company generated free cash flow⁽¹⁾ of $30 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. These working capital improvements enabled the company to pay-down $20 million of debt in the fourth quarter. As of December 31, 2019, the company had $230 million of available liquidity, its highest level of availability in over two years.

FOURTH QUARTER OF 2019 FINANCIAL SUMMARY


•	Net sales of $227 million decreased $180 million or 44% compared with the prior-year quarter. Lower volumes and surcharge revenue were the primary drivers of this decline.


•	Ship tons were 179,700, a decrease of 39% from the prior-year period with all end markets experiencing a double-digit percentage decline in volume during the quarter.


•	Surcharge revenue decreased $69 million from the prior-year period primarily due to a declining No. 1 Busheling scrap index and lower volume.


•	These decreases were slightly offset by favorable base price, product mix and lower SG&A expense.


•	As anticipated, manufacturing expense was negatively impacted by low plant utilization partially offset by cost reduction actions.

FULL-YEAR 2019 NET SALES AND VOLUME


•	Net sales of $1.2 billion decreased $402 million or 25% compared with the prior year. Improved price and mix were more than offset by lower volumes and surcharge revenue in a difficult SBQ market.


•	Ship tons were 898,300, a decrease of 25% from the prior year, primarily driven by lower demand in the energy and industrial markets as well as lower shipments of OCTG billets.

INVENTORY VALUATION ACCOUNTING CHANGE

In the fourth quarter of 2019, the company changed its inventory valuation method for the majority of its inventory from the last in, first out (LIFO) method to the first in, first out (FIFO) method. The company has retrospectively applied this change to its prior year financial statements and denoted impacted prior year columns in the financial statements as "Adjusted."

PROFITABILITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN UPDATE

Aggressive profitability improvement actions resulted in realized savings of approximately $40 million in 2019, with expected annualized savings of $70 million going forward. These actions helped partially offset weak end market demand in 2019 and are expected to benefit the company in the years to come. The incremental 2020 savings include the following recent actions:


•	Reduced salaried workforce by 14% in 2019, including reductions taken in the fourth quarter. Total annualized savings as a result of these actions are approximately $18 million. The related restructuring charges were $5 million and $9 million in the fourth quarter and full-year 2019, respectively.


•	Froze the benefit accruals on all remaining salaried pension and other postretirement benefit plans. These actions will result in annual savings of approximately $2 million including a reduction in benefit obligation of approximately $10 million as of December 31, 2019.


•	Completed the previously announced closure of TimkenSteel Material Services facility in Houston, Texas, in the first quarter of 2020. Annualized savings of approximately $8 million are expected to be realized going forward, and the associated assets will be liquidated to

NEWS RELEASE - Page 2

generate cash. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the company recorded a total charge of approximately $8 million associated with the closure, the majority of which was non-cash.


•	Divested its scrap processing facility in Akron, Ohio in the first quarter of 2020 for cash consideration of approximately $4 million following a non-cash write-down of $7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Proceeds from the sale were utilized to pay down debt.

OUTLOOK


•	The company expects first-quarter 2020 shipments to increase from the fourth quarter of 2019 by approximately 15%.


•	Net loss is projected to be between $12 million and $22 million in the first quarter of 2020.


•	EBITDA⁽¹⁾ is projected to be between break-even to positive $10 million in the first quarter of 2020.


•	Capital spending is projected to be approximately $30 million in 2020.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

TimkenSteel reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and corresponding metrics as non-GAAP financial measures. This earnings release includes references to the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted earnings (loss) per share, adjusted net income (loss), EBIT, adjusted EBIT, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and total liquidity. These are important financial measures used in the management of the business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. Management believes that reporting these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as these measures are representative of the company’s performance and provide improved comparability of results. See the attached schedules for definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures referred to above and corresponding reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as additions to, and not as alternatives for, TimkenSteel's results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP measures TimkenSteel uses may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, and other companies may not define the non-GAAP measures TimkenSteel uses in the same way.
