CANTON, Ohio, Sept. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TimkenSteel (NYSE: TMST) (timkensteel.com), a leader in customized alloy steel products and services, expects EBITDA for the third quarter of 2015 to be a loss of between $30 million and $40 million. The company updated guidance after experiencing a steeper-than-expected drop in industrial demand driven by depressed commodity prices.
"We anticipated a difficult third quarter due to continued weakness in energy and some industrial end markets, but the impact is deeper than expected," said Ward J. "Tim" Timken, Jr., chairman, CEO and president. "We're holding our share of these markets, but overall demand has dropped. Lower demand in industrial markets accompanied by higher manufacturing costs associated with melt utilization of 40 percent will result in a greater loss than we had in the second quarter.
"We continue on pace with a program of $25 million in cost reductions and will take additional actions to address the shortfall. At the same time, we continue to support our unique business model to optimize performance as markets rebound."
UPDATED OUTLOOK
Third-quarter 2015 revenue guidance
Industrial and Mobile
* Shipments to be about 15 percent lower than second-quarter 2015
* Automotive demand to remain strong
* Industrial end markets weakening due to impact from low oil prices; declining mining markets
Energy and Distribution
* Shipments to drop about 30 percent from the second-quarter 2015
* Weaker oil and gas markets due to low oil prices and associated decrease in energy exploration and production spend
* Lower distribution channel demand across both energy and industrial end markets due to high customer inventory levels
Third-quarter 2015 EBITDA guidance
* Expect EBITDA at a loss of between $30 million and $40 million for the third quarter
* Negative impact from weakness in oil and gas and certain industrial end markets
* Expect 40 percent melt utilization resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies and higher costs
* Improved raw material spread versus second quarter as a result of stabilizing scrap prices
