Michael L. Shor -- President, Chief Executive Officer and Director

Thank you, Dave. Good morning, everyone. Our results continued to improve this quarter, and our momentum is building. The details are as follows: We returned to profitability in our third quarter despite shipping just 3.7 million pounds. Our end of quarter cash balance was $74.2 million, representing an increase in cash since March 31, 2020, of $51.8 million and an increase of $4.3 million over the past year. Our gross margin continued to improve despite our direct charges related to low volume and despite the lack of meaningful incremental aerospace shipments to date. We finished the quarter at 15.5% gross margin.

This represents a 530 basis point improvement sequentially and a 1,220 basis point improvement from last year's Q3. As I've stated in the past, we look at the 18% gross margins achieved in early 2020 as our starting point once our aerospace volume returns. The results of Q3 and our improving gross margins confirm what we've said for the past year. That is our cost reduction and pricing work have had a significant positive impact on our business, driving our breakeven point from roughly five million pounds shipped a quarter, to, as shown in our Q3 quarter, four million pounds or less. Our cost and price improvement initiatives that have driven our margin improvement are continuing. Our current and future price and cost efforts should continue to have a meaningful incremental improvement impact on the future of Haynes.

As noted in our May 27 press release, we've increased transactional pricing by 7% to 10%. On the cost side, our efforts to improve material yields and refine our processes are also expected to continue to have a meaningful impact on our variable cost of manufacturing. Our EBITDA was positive for each month of the quarter and totaled $7.3 million for the quarter. Our backlog increased for the first time since the 2019 issues with the 737 MAX. Backlog dollars improved by $10 million in the quarter, increasing 2.4% in aerospace, 22% in CPI and 19% in IGT. We are seeing the impact of our share gain in IGT, the improvement in capital spending in the CPI market and the initial signs of renewed aero activity. Our book-to-bill in dollars was 1.1, with aero at 1.1 and both CPI and IGT at 1.2.

In addition, our focus on maintaining a competitive advantage through industry-leading lead times and providing just-in-time inventory and near net shapes from our company-owned service centers has resulted in satisfied customers and incremental price increase opportunities. To support this, we've continued to place highly flexible intermediate inventory into stock in our facilities to keep our lead times for our high-volume alloys below what is typical for the industry. This can create a competitive advantage as the recovery progresses. Our team continues to internally track over 40 key measures on a monthly basis.

The focus, commitment, accountability and energy shown by our entire team have resulted in innovative alloy and application offerings, cost reductions, yield increases, price improvements, margin expansion, initial volume growth, lead time improvements, significant process improvements in safety and inventory reductions. As a result of our actions and significantly improved performance, along with the current level of cash on our balance sheet, the overall expected business recovery in the horizon and the current favorable pension valuation information that Dan covered in our last earnings call, we have announced in a separate press release, a multistep capital allocation strategy.

This includes a share repurchase plan as we believe our current share price is well below its intrinsic value, the adoption of a glide path for our U.S. pension, along with the U.S. pension plan accelerated funding strategy. These actions show our optimism about the future of our company and our efforts to strive to eliminate the largest liability on our balance sheet. Dan will provide additional details. Now as far as our markets, our IGT market improved by over 49% in pounds shipped this quarter versus last year's third quarter. Our IGT growth continues beyond market growth rates because of three factors: gain share gain at an OEM share gain by one of our customers within the IGT supply chain and the additional continued application of a Haynes proprietary alloy, Haynes 282 alloy in both new build designs and replacement components.

Our CPI market is showing positive signs, both with increased revenues and increasing backlogs due to current oil prices, which impact capital expenditures in aero CPI market, the restart of significant projects in the industry that have been delayed over the past year and our very competitive lead times. In our aerospace market, we are seeing a significant pick up in activity, starting with customer calls to us related to supply capability and lead times, followed by inquiries on available finished product in our Haynes distribution facilities and now the beginning of ordering activity. It's very important to note that our aerospace shipments are still well below steady state levels. As a point of reference, pounds shipped into the aerospace market this quarter are 47.5% below what they were two years ago in June of 2019.

Significant growth opportunities are still ahead of us. The news from Boeing Airbus and the single-aisle engine manufacturers continue to be very positive. We expect an increase in aero ordering by the end of this calendar year. Summarizing Q3, the efforts from our team have resulted in increased sequential revenue and a return to profitability. Revenue for the quarter was $88.1 million, exceeding Q2 by 7.4%. We achieved profitability despite shipping just 3.7 million pounds, proving that our breakeven has been reduced by over 20%. Gross margin was 530 basis points above Q2 of fiscal 2021, driven in part by cost controls, cost reductions, outstanding customer and technical service and incredible innovation at both the alloy and application levels. I'm very proud of our entire team. They have shown what focus, accountability and a relentless drive to improve can mean to company performance.

We believe that significant incremental business improvement can occur once the anticipated upcoming aerospace orders turn into shipments. We are seeing the first signs of market and backlog improvement. While excited about what can be, we do not expect to see a significant increase in our commercial aerospace orders until later this calendar year. Given this, we expect our Q4 results to be slightly better than our Q3 performance. To close out my comments, I want to again highlight one of our key business differentiators, specifically, our innovative alloy and application development efforts.

Last quarter, I highlighted our role with the Mars Rover. This quarter, I'd like to highlight what we are best at, developing innovative alloys for unique applications in our markets. Today, I'll touch on our aerospace market. We now have proprietary alloys flying on the Pratt & Whitney 1100 on the A320neo, the Pratt & Whitney 1500, on the A220 and on the Pratt & Whitney 1900, for the Embraer E195. We also have two alloys spec'd into the GE9 times on the 777. In addition, Haynes 233 alloy is in the advanced stages of property and specification finalization with a major aero OEM. I'm proud of the work of our team. Now let me turn it over to Dan for more details on our financial results.

Daniel W. Maudlin -- Vice President of Finance, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer

Thank you, Mike. Returning to profitability is an exciting milestone as we are emerging from what we believe are the early stages of the recovery. Our continued focus on initiatives to increase margins from price increases and cost reductions has successfully reduced our breakeven point. This quarter, our total volume shipped was 3.7 million pounds, resulting in positive net income as compared to our prior breakeven of roughly five million pounds. These improvement efforts are expected to continue to gain momentum; first, as volumes increase; second, as more orders are shipped that are priced with our recently announced price increases; and third, as our cost reduction efforts related to improved yields, productivity and process improvements are realized with higher mill production levels.

Mike already covered a discussion of each market, but here's a bit more detail on the numbers. The quarter sales to the aerospace market accounted for 38.5% of our revenue at $34 million. This is an increase of 11% sequentially from Q2, but a decrease of 16% from the same period last year. This year-over-year reduction in aerospace demand continues to be the main cause of our overall low volume levels, which is compressing our margins. As Mike mentioned earlier, our volume decreased by 48% from the third quarter two years ago in fiscal 2019. These margin challenges alleviate as aerospace volumes improve.

Backlog dollars in aerospace increased sequentially from Q2 to Q3 by 2%, but have decreased year-over-year by 27% from the pandemic's impact on the aerospace industry. Sales to the chemical processing market accounted for 19% of our revenue at $17 million. This is up 13% sequentially from Q2 and up 40% from the same period last year. Special projects revenue, most of which is reflected in chemical processing, was $4.6 million, which is $211,000 lower than the second quarter and $743,000 lower than the same period last year. Backlog dollars in CPI increased by 22% Q3 versus Q2 and is up 19% year-over-year. Sales to the industrial gas turbine market accounted for 20% of our revenue at $17.8 million. This is an increase of 8.5% sequentially from Q2 and up 30% from the same period last year. Backlog dollars in industrial gas turbines increased sequentially by 19% and is flat year-over-year.

Sales to other markets accounted for 16% of our revenue at $13.7 million. This is a decrease of 12% sequentially, but an increase of 22% from the same period last year. Backlog dollars were flat sequentially, but up 18% year-over-year. Other revenue accounted for 6% of our revenue at $5.6 million. This is an increase of 28% sequentially and an increase of 77% from the same period last year. The sequential improvement in overall volume from 3.5 million to 3.7 million pounds contributed to the 530 basis point gross margin expansion in the third quarter to 15.5%. This is after an 880 basis point improvement sequentially last quarter.

This improvement includes a reduction in the direct charge from $2.8 million in the second quarter to $2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 with better absorption of overhead costs. Also contributing to the margin expansion was our continued diligent focus on cost reduction mentioned earlier, and our price actions related to prior actions related to pricing increases. Raw material cost increases for both nickel and cobalt provided a moderate tailwind to margins this quarter of roughly $1.5 million. SG&A, including research and technical expense was $12.3 million in the third quarter, which was similar to the second quarter's $12.1 million, but higher than last year's third quarter of $10.7 million. This year-over-year increase was mainly due to incentive compensation accruals as last year had 0 accruals in Q3.

The nonoperating retirement benefit expense in the P&L was lower by $1.3 million as compared to the same period last year due to our favorable actuarial valuations we have discussed before. I will have more comments on pension activities in a moment when discussing our recently announced capital allocation strategy. Our effective tax rate was high at 39.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily related to valuation allowances recorded on a certain foreign operations net loss carryforwards not likely to be realized. All of this resulted in net income for the quarter of $422,000 compared to a net loss of $8.1 million in last year's Q3 and a net loss of $3.6 million sequentially last quarter.

Profitability and improving financial results are a welcome outcome as we continue to execute our improvement initiatives. Backlog. We have begun to experience an increase in order entry over the past quarter, though still below pre Covid levels. Backlog was $150.9 million at June 30, 2021, an increase of $10 million or 7.1% from the $140.9 million at March 31, 2021. As far as our outlook for next quarter, we are seeing the first signs of demand and backlog improvement in our core markets.

However, we do not expect to see a significant increase in order entry in the commercial aerospace market until later this calendar year. We expect revenue and earnings to be slightly better in the September quarter, our fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to the third quarter. The company continues to believe it is favorably positioned as the recovery progresses. Capital spending during the first nine months of 2021 was $4.2 million. We lowered our estimates for capex for the full year to approximately $7 million. Liquidity. Cash on the balance sheet was $74.2 million at June 30, 2021, with an increase in cash of $4.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, resulting in a total net cash increase of $51.8 million since March 31, 2020. Strong total liquidity continues at $174.2 million, with $100 million available on the undrawn credit facility. Capital allocation.

We announced Wednesday, in a separate press release, a multifaceted capital allocation strategy that we are very excited about. It includes, first, a share repurchase plan of up to $20 million as we believe that repurchasing our stock at current market prices represents an attractive capital allocation strategy for the company. We feel this is a unique opportunity to repurchase shares well below the intrinsic value of the company, given the outlook of our markets, particularly the anticipated recovery in commercial aerospace, combined with our gross margin expansion strategies. Second, the recent adoption of a glide path for our U.S. pension plan to help secure improvements in our funding percentage realized this fiscal year.

This is driven by better-than-expected return on assets, combined with higher interest rates and is expected to reduce our roughly $100 million pension liability by potentially 50%. In addition, this strategy includes a customized liability-driven investment strategy that is expected to substantially reduce the plan's future interest rate risk and an asset allocation designed to reduce the plan's equity risk, both of which are expected to reduce the volatility of pension expense going forward. And third, a U.S. pension plan accelerated funding strategy with the intention of fully funding the plan with a 0 net liability in approximately three years. This strategy entails an additional $15 million in planned contributions this year in addition to our current $6 million funding level, so $21 million in total.

Additional future funding will be determined based upon market conditions and our financial position. These steps represent significant actions to de-risk the plan and strive to eliminate the largest liability on our balance sheet. We are excited to begin this capital allocation strategy. In conclusion, it is encouraging to see the milestone of a return to profitability. And it's interesting to think of what is still in the future, still ahead of us, includes an expected recovery in the commercial aerospace market, expected better fixed cost absorption with normalized volumes, more traction in our manufacturing process improvement strategies when volumes recover, and the realization of recent price increases favorably impacting our bottom line.

We believe all of this, combined with executing our value-creating capital allocation strategy will create value for our shareholders. And Mike, with that, I will turn the discussion back over to you.

Michael L. Shor -- President, Chief Executive Officer and Director

Thank you, Dan. Our team continues to be encouraged by both the direction and the potential for our business. I want to thank all of you for your continued interest in Haynes. With that, Kat, let's open the call up to questions.

Questions and Answers:

Operator

[Operator Instructions] And our first question comes from Michael Leshock from Keybank Capital Markets.

Michael David Leshock -- KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. -- Analyst

Hi, guys. Good morning. So as we look at the third quarter, it was much better than where you guided to. Volumes were only up a bit, the 3.7 from 3.5 the prior quarter. I just wanted to know what drove that profitability in the quarter. I know there was some benefit from raw materials, but how much did mix play as a factor? And is this something that's sustainable as we look into 4Q?

Michael L. Shor -- President, Chief Executive Officer and Director

Let me address the mix. Dan will touch on the inventory side of this and the raw material side on this. But what we're very excited about is what we believe can continue to happen in the future. Since you brought up mix, we see opportunities for mix improvement as aero comes back. So as we look at mix, we saw minor mix improvement, Mike, from Q3 versus Q2. But that was mainly because of a reduction of some of our higher volume orders that we took at the depth of the pandemic to try to work through and address the direct charge.

These orders were good for the company, but they were very low margin. And so Q3 did not have some that Q2 had. But to me, a very key point, as we look at mix and what can happen in the future. We saw year-on-year, as what I just gave you was sequentially. Year-on-year, we saw a fairly significant deterioration in mix. So Q3 fiscal 2021 versus Q3 fiscal 2020. And it makes sense. We've been very open that our aerospace business is the majority of our high-value differentiated products. And when you look at the year-on-year stats, we had IGT up, a good thing, CPI up, a good thing, but aero down year-on-year. So we were missing that component of the mix.

So as we look forward, we see great opportunities for mix to further improve. And beyond that, remember right before the pandemic hit us, we had 18% gross margin in January and February 2020. So our work on pricing, our work on cost not only was done back then, but it continued through the pandemic, and we think more is to come. Dan?

Daniel W. Maudlin -- Vice President of Finance, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer

Yes, let me just hit on the inventory build and the raw material. And it was very moderate, actually, starting with raw material, nickel and cobalt increased. So we estimated that to be about a $1.5 million favorable benefit. But last quarter, it was about $1 million. So just slightly above what it was last quarter. So nothing too significant. And then on the inventory build side, we did build inventory about $3.9 million. So you think about that and what that may do to margins and what kind of contribution that kind of would have. But still, that's even less than or right around about $1 million impact on the month, and that would be about a one point change in the gross margin.

I think the one thing that surprised us on profitability more than anything is what Mike kind of mentioned, and that is the initiatives to reduce breakeven, the initiatives to increase prices and reduce costs, how that gets realized as volumes start to go up. And I think we've got some great traction on those initiatives, and it's really starting to show up in the margin, and we really are excited. As we look forward, that continuing and that momentum building and expanding margins further.

Michael L. Shor -- President, Chief Executive Officer and Director

Let me just add one more thing to it and that's special projects, which Dan touched on in his script. We've been in this trough of spending by our customers in the industry. So with that, there's not been a lot of money left to start some of these projects. So we're down year-on-year. We're even down sequentially in special projects. So as that begins to come back, that offers us future potential also as far as continuing to improve the performance of the company.

Michael David Leshock -- KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. -- Analyst

And then on the cost side of the business, what have you seen or do you expect to see going forward in terms of inflationary pressures? And maybe how much of the cost you took out during the downturn are structural in nature versus what portion might come back?

Michael L. Shor -- President, Chief Executive Officer and Director

When you look at during the pandemic on the people side, we took out a significant portion of our workforce. I think it was 18% of our workforce line variable and fixed side of this thing. And at this point, the overwhelming majority of our variable workforce, our production maintenance workforce has been called back. We're obviously going to drag our feet as best we can. On the salary side we spent money to, unfortunately, remove positions, and we want to be very cautious about bringing back, but we are doing it. And we're trying to continue to reinforce what our core competencies are by hiring people that fit in those jobs and make the most sense for us.

I think we are continuing to gain momentum on the cost side on the variable cost to manufacture. We've done a great deal to improve yields, to improve our processes and to enhance the way we make our products for our customers. And we had great momentum going in the pandemic. You don't get as much of an impact when your volume goes as low as ours has gone. But we continue to work on those projects. And as we see higher volume, we're going to see additional cost reduction going forward.

Michael David Leshock -- KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. -- Analyst

And then capex was basically 0 in the quarter. And right now, you're kind of running below your base maintenance level at $7 million, if we call it, $8 million to $10 million maintenance roughly. Should we expect a meaningful uptick there in capex in 2022, if there's any maintenance you might be deferring?

Daniel W. Maudlin -- Vice President of Finance, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer

Yes. We're deferring no maintenance. What we find with capital, and I found this my entire career, and I should learn from it already, is you never spend as much as you think you're going to spend. So we actually had to talk. We're going to have to start budgeting more than we're actually going to spend because there's always carryover. There's always an occasional delay here and there. I don't like being at $7 million, and we expect to start approaching depreciation, not going over, but approaching it for the next three, four years, plus or minus. So we'll get back on the capital van wagon and that was not an intentional pull down. That's just timing of projects.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from Marisa Hernandez from Sidoti.

Marisa Hernandez -- Sidoti & Company, LLC -- Analyst

Hello, thank you, and good morning everybody. So wondering if you can comment on the outlook for gross margin in the second half of the calendar year. It seems to me that there's a number of moving pieces here with the mix of aerospace and the other segments. At the same time, you have cost-saving efforts but you're having to put in more resources as the recovery takes place. And at the same time, there's this decline in ASP that you reported in this quarter for both aerospace and the chemicals segment. So if you could put all of those in context for me that would be great.

Michael L. Shor -- President, Chief Executive Officer and Director

Sure, we'd love to. First, I've got to start because we've got an entire team that have been working on this for three years plus. We're thrilled with the team's efforts to fundamentally improve our business with a focus on driving our gross margin up significantly. No secret. Our goal has been in our slice of the industry to be the best as far as gross margin. We have focused, Marisa, on cost reduction, price increase alloy and application innovation, which, by the way, can significantly help our gross margin and best-in-class sales and technical service to drive improvement.

What I'm really encouraged about, it's great that we hit 15.5%. We just love that. But what I'm really encouraged about is what the future can hold for us related to gross margin. We said before that the 18% we hit before the pandemic is a great starting point as our volume comes back. And when you take a step back and think about it, we've raised prices on transactional business, not just on aerospace, but across the board, 7% to 10%. And we're just beginning to see the impact of that and then contracts will follow after that.

We're working, as Dan said, to eliminate the direct charge. We still incurred $2 million in the past quarter on direct charge, we will have a significant impact as volume comes back in general, just because of the marginal net volume, when the aero orders comes back, that typically is our highest margin product. And so that will help our mix. We've got an enormous number of alloys and -- or we have alloys and applications in our pipeline that will help as we get those products going. As I mentioned, special projects are poised to come back. And then in general, we have a relentless focus on yield and variable cost reductions. So while Dan stares at me to make sure I don't give a number, which I will not.

I will tell you that we have high confidence that we can continue to grow our gross margin. Sorry for the long answer.

Daniel W. Maudlin -- Vice President of Finance, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer

Just going to mention you had also brought up average selling price, ASP going down. And really, what that's reflecting isn't price decreases by any means. It's just the mix. As Mike referenced earlier, the mix this quarter was not optimal without aerospace. And we looked to the future and we see with aerospace recovering later this calendar year with orders, and then we'll see where that goes in 2022, that should only help us as far as mix goes and average selling prices go.

Marisa Hernandez -- Sidoti & Company, LLC -- Analyst

That's helpful. And are you expecting any improvement already in the September quarter in the mix of aerospace? I understand that you're not looking for a huge increase in volumes yet. But on the mix side, have we tracked here or not yet?

Michael L. Shor -- President, Chief Executive Officer and Director

So sequentially, our aerospace revenue obviously did go up in the past quarter, and we are beginning to see an uptick in aerospace. But we're beginning to see our customers talk about orders and begin to let some orders. But we really don't expect to see the orders come in till little later this calendar year in full force. And then once we get those orders, we have to manufacture them. That's why we're only expecting slight improvement quarter-on-quarter.

Marisa Hernandez -- Sidoti & Company, LLC -- Analyst

Thank you. And can I squeeze one more?

Michael L. Shor -- President, Chief Executive Officer and Director

Yes, please.

Daniel W. Maudlin -- Vice President of Finance, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer

Absolutely.

Marisa Hernandez -- Sidoti & Company, LLC -- Analyst

Thank you. So can you give me a flavor of what your utilization rate is at this time? And I understand that may vary across sites. But what investment, if any, do you need to make to position yourself for the expected recovery?

Michael L. Shor -- President, Chief Executive Officer and Director

As far as positioning ourselves for recovery, the number one thing that we've done is we are well into the process of bringing our production and maintenance workforces back to full force. So we're doing that. And then what I believe is very important for us is taking a step back and understanding what our competitive advantages are. And one of our major competitive advantages is speed. And what we've highlighted and what we focused on for over a year now is keeping our lead times low and our response time quick. And we keep talking about this supermarket that we put in place for high-volume grades.

And as we come out of this, the shorter the lead times, the more orders we can get. And to be frank, the shorter the lead times, the more price flexibility we have. So bringing our people back, making sure they're trained, making sure they understand what we need to do from a safety perspective and positioning our inventory are, to me, the things that we are focused on now to come back.

Daniel W. Maudlin -- Vice President of Finance, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer

And I would even say, if you step back a little bit and you talk about investments for the recovery, keep in mind, we spent a significant amount of capital in prior years to increase capacities in certain areas. So we have significant headroom to increase capacities beyond where we were. 2019, what I believe in volume was a record year for us in aerospace. And we have additional capacity beyond that with the investments we had made previously. So we're not needing to invest significant above our depreciation levels in the future, and we'll be able to grow the top line beyond where we were before.

Marisa Hernandez -- Sidoti & Company, LLC -- Analyst

Thank you.

Daniel W. Maudlin -- Vice President of Finance, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer

Thank you for all the questions.
