KOKOMO, Ind., April 24, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Haynes International, Inc. (Nasdaq:HAYN) a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of technologically advanced high performance alloys, announced today that it will record a non-cash goodwill impairment charge estimated at $43.7 million in the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009. Only $2.3 million of this charge is deductible for tax purposes in future periods with the remaining $41.4 million being non-deductible for tax purposes. While the goodwill impairment charge will reduce fiscal 2009 operating results under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the impairment is a non-cash charge and will not affect the Company's liquidity position, cash flows from operating activities, or compliance with its debt covenants. As required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles the Company conducted an interim test for potential impairment of goodwill during the second quarter of 2009 due to declining economic and equity market conditions.
The Company also announced that it will release second quarter results for the period ended March 31, 2009 on Thursday, May 7, 2009, at close of business.
