Factors Likely to Have Shaped CRS’s Q3 Performance
Carpenter Technology has been witnessing growth across its end-use markets, especially in aerospace, defense and medical applications, which is anticipated to continue throughout fiscal 2025 and get reflected in the third-quarter fiscal 2025 results. In the quarter, demand is expected to have accelerated across all aerospace submarkets as the supply chain ramped up to meet increasing travel demand.
However, the company has been bearing the brunt of labor and chip shortages, which are likely to have affected its performance.
Nonetheless, gains from increased productivity across Carpenter Technology’s facilities, higher prices, an improved product mix and increased volumes are expected to have negated these headwinds. The impacts of these are likely to get reflected in the company’s margin results.
We expect the Specialty Alloys Operations segment’s sales to be $661 million in the quarter, indicating growth of 8.7% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. Our model estimates the segment to sell 47,742 pounds in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, indicating a dip of 6.1% from that reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. We expect the operating profit to be $142 million, indicating growth from the $103 million reported in third-quarter fiscal 2024.
We expect Performance Engineered Products’ net sales to dip 0.5% year over year to $102 million. Our model predicts the segment to sell 2,569 pounds in the quarter, indicating a decrease of 1.9%. Our estimate for the segment’s operating profit is $11.2 million. The segment reported an operating profit of $9.2 million in the year-ago quarter.
