PITTSBURGH--(Business Wire)--
Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: ATI) reported net income for the
third quarter 2009 of $1.4 million, or $0.01 per share, on sales of $697.6
million.
In the third quarter 2008, ATI reported net income of $144.1 million, or $1.45
per share, on sales of $1.39 billion.
Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are a net loss including
special charges of $6.1 million, or $0.06 per share, on sales of $2.24 billion.
The nine months ended September 30, 2009 included non-recurring after-tax
charges of $17.0 million, or $0.17 per share, related to second quarter 2009
actions to retire debt and the tax consequences of our $350 million voluntary
pension contribution. Excluding special charges, results for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 were net income of $10.9 million, or $0.11 per share.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net income was $455.0 million, or
$4.51 per share, on sales of $4.20 billion.
"Looking past the remainder of 2009, the worst appears to be behind us, and we
remain confident in the intermediate and long-term growth potential of our core
markets," said L. Patrick Hassey, Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer.
"We are having success in the marketplace by developing and expanding strategic
relationships with key global customers, and we are well positioned to meet
their growing needs as economic conditions improve and our core markets recover.
During the third quarter, we completed several new long-term agreements (LTAs)
with key global customers. We are working on several more. These LTAs provide a
foundation for future growth and position ATI with deep customer relationships
in our core markets.
"ATI`s financial position is strong. Cash on hand was over $826 million at the
end of the third quarter, and net debt to total capitalization was 10.5%. We
achieved gross cost reductions of over $121 million in the first nine months,
and expect to exceed our 2009 cost reduction goal of over $150 million. Our
pension plan remains fully funded.
"Our investments in unsurpassed manufacturing capabilities are progressing. Our
new titanium and superalloy forging facility began operation in the third
quarter and the start-up is going well. We now expect to begin production at our
premium-grade titanium sponge facility before the end of 2009. By the end of
October, we expect to close on the Crucible asset acquisition, which is an
excellent entry point for ATI into advanced powder metal products. We now expect
2009 capital expenditures and asset acquisitions to be approximately $475
million, which includes the Crucible asset acquisition.
"For the fourth quarter 2009 short-term outlook, we are seeing some positive
data points in certain markets; however, many of our customers remain cautious
due to the uncertain global economy and are keeping inventories low. This
uncertainty is exaggerated by recent volatility in prices of raw materials,
particularly nickel, which impacts customer buying patterns from month to month
and at year-end. As a result of these conditions, and expected new facility
start-up and other costs, we expect ATI`s fourth quarter 2009 earnings
performance to be similar to that achieved in the third quarter 2009.
"Looking ahead, we expect our operating earnings performance to improve
throughout 2010 as compared to 2009. We believe 2010 to be a transition year to
the next growth cycle in most of our markets, particularly the aerospace and
global infrastructure markets.
"Although we expect only a modest economic recovery in 2010, we are focused on
continuing to position ATI in targeted global markets. We expect to benefit
greater than the recovery and growth in our core markets in 2010 and beyond by
improving our position with key customers, adding new products to our unique
specialty metals portfolio, improving our cost structure, maintaining our
financial flexibility, and bringing on-line new world-class manufacturing
capabilities."

required, in the first quarter 2009 the Company adopted changes to the financial
accounting standards regarding the presentation of noncontrolling interests in
consolidated financial statements. Under the provisions of this change in
accounting standards, the income statement presentation has been revised to
separately present consolidated net income (loss), which now includes the
amounts attributable to the Company plus noncontrolling interests (minority
interests), and net income (loss) attributable solely to the Company.
Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results
* Sales were $697.6 million, 50% lower than the third quarter 2008 as a result
of significantly lower raw material surcharges and indices and lower shipments.
Direct international sales represented 31.0% of total sales, compared to 29% for
the 2008 comparable period. Compared to the third quarter 2008, sales decreased
45% in the High Performance Metals segment, 52% in the Flat-Rolled Products
segment, and 54% in the Engineered Products segment.
* Segment operating profit was $54.0 million, or 7.7% of sales, compared to
$251.4 million, or 18.1% of sales, for the third quarter 2008. Third quarter
2009 results were negatively affected by lower shipments and by idle facility,
workforce reduction, and start-up costs of $18.9 million. These negative impacts
were partially offset by a LIFO inventory valuation reserve benefit of $4.5
million. The third quarter 2009 LIFO inventory valuation reserve benefit was
$22.5 million lower than the LIFO reserve benefit recognized in the second
quarter 2009 due to rising raw material costs. The third quarter 2008 included a
LIFO inventory valuation reserve benefit of $41.0 million.
* Net income attributable to common stockholders was $1.4 million, or $0.01 per
share, compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $144.1
million, or $1.45 per share, in the third quarter 2008.
* Cash flowfrom operations for the first nine months 2009 was $149.4 million
which benefited from a reduction in managed working capital of $344.8 million
due to lower business activity and raw material costs, partially offset by a
voluntary net cash pension contribution of $241.5 million ($350 million
contribution less $108.5 million federal income tax refund) in the second
quarter 2009. Excluding the voluntary net cash pension contribution, cash flow
from operations was $390.9 million for the first nine months 2009.
* Cash on hand at the end of the third quarter 2009 was $826.3 million, an
increase of $356.4 million from year-end 2008.
* Gross cost reductions, before the effects of inflation, totaled $121.4 million
company-wide in the first nine months 2009.
High Performance Metals Segment
Market Conditions
* Demand for our titanium alloys and our nickel-based alloys from the aerospace
market was at significantly lower levels as the supply chain continued to adjust
to aircraft production schedule pushouts and reduced demand from the aeroengine
aftermarket. Shipment volumes for our titanium alloys and our nickel-based
alloys declined 8% and 20%, respectively, compared to the second quarter 2009.
Shipments of our exotic alloys declined 23% compared to the second quarter 2009
primarily due to timing of projects for the chemical process industry.
Third quarter 2009 compared to third quarter 2008
* Sales decreased 45% to $279.2 million. Shipments decreased 37% for both
titanium and titanium alloys and nickel-based and specially alloys primarily due
to lower demand from commercial aerospace market. Shipments of exotic alloys
decreased 24% primarily due to the timing of projects for the chemical process
industry. Average selling prices declined 23% for titanium and titanium alloys
and 21% for nickel-based and specialty alloys. These average selling price
decreases were primarily due to lower raw material indices as a result of lower
raw material costs and a more competitive pricing environment. Average selling
prices for exotic alloys increased 23% due to increased demand for certain
products and a favorable product mix.
* Segment operating profit decreased to $51.3 million, or 18.4% of sales. The
decrease in operating profit primarily resulted from lower base-selling prices
for most products due to reduced demand and competitive pricing pressures and
reduced shipments for most products. In addition, operating profit was
negatively affected by approximately $11.7 million for idle facility, workforce
reduction, and start-up costs. These negative impacts were partially offset by
higher margins from exotic alloys and the benefits of gross cost reductions. A
LIFO inventory valuation reserve benefit of $10.0 million was recognized in the
2009 third quarter. In the third quarter 2008, a LIFO inventory valuation
benefit of $16.7 million was recognized.
* Results benefited from $17.7 million of gross cost reductions, bringing the
first nine months 2009 gross cost reductions in this segment to $58.3 million.
Flat-Rolled Products Segment
Market Conditions
* Demand for certain high-value products, such as Precision Rolled Strip
products and nickel-based alloys, increased compared to the second quarter 2009
while demand for grain-oriented electrical steel remained at reasonably good
levels. Third quarter Flat-Rolled Products segment titanium shipments including
Uniti conversion were approximately 1.5 million pounds. Demand for most of our
standard stainless products remained low, yet improved 7% compared to the second
quarter 2009. In addition, average prices for standard stainless products
increased 14% compared to the second quarter 2009 primarily due to higher base
selling prices and raw material surcharges.
Third quarter 2009 compared to third quarter 2008
* Sales were $364.2 million, 52% lower than the third quarter 2008, due
primarily to lower shipments and reduced raw material surcharges. Shipments of
standard stainless products (sheet and plate) decreased 3% while total
high-value products shipments decreased 32%. Average transaction prices for all
products, which include surcharges, were 42% lower due primarily to
significantly reduced raw material surcharges.
* Segment operating profit decreased to $11.3 million, or 3.1% of sales.
Operating profit was negatively impacted by lower shipments and approximately
$6.0 million of costs associated with idle facilities and workforce reductions.
In addition, operating profit was negatively affected by a $6.8 million charge
to adjust the LIFO inventory valuation reserve as a result of rising raw
material costs. This segment recognized a $26.1 million benefit in both the
first and second quarters 2009. The third quarter 2008 included a LIFO inventory
valuation reserve benefit of $25.1 million.
* Results benefited from $25.5 million in gross cost reductions, bringing the
first nine months 2009 gross cost reductions in this segment to $53.5 million.
Engineered Products Segment
Market Conditions
* Demand for our tungsten and tungsten carbide products, forged products, and
cast products remained weak. Demand for our precision finishing business was
good.
Third quarter 2009 compared to third quarter 2008
* Sales were $54.2 million, 54% lower than the third quarter 2008.
* Segment operating results was a loss of $8.6 million primarily due to
significantly lower shipments, reduced selling prices, and costs associated with
workforce reductions and idle facilities, partially offset by a $1.3 million
LIFO benefit and the benefits of gross cost reductions. The third quarter 2008
included a LIFO inventory valuation reserve charge of $0.8 million.
* Results benefited from $4.0 million of gross cost reductions, bringing the
2009 first nine month gross cost reductions in this segment to $9.6 million.
Other Expenses
* Corporate expenses for the third quarter 2009 were $15.7 million, compared to
$13.4 million in the year-ago period. This increase was primarily due to
expenses associated with performance-based incentive compensation programs.
* Interest expense, net of interest income, was $8.1 million, compared to $1.7
million in the third quarter 2008. The increase in interest expense was due to
debt issuances completed in the second quarter 2009.
* In June 2009, we completed the issuance of $350 million of new 9.375% 10-year
Senior Notes and a tender offer for our existing $300 million 8.375% Notes due
in 2011. As a result of the tender offer, in June 2009 we retired $183.3 million
of the 2011 Notes, which resulted in a special charge for debt extinguishment of
$9.2 million pre-tax, or $5.5 million after-tax, in the second quarter 2009.
Retirement Benefit Expense
* Retirement benefit expense, which includes pension expense and other
postretirement expense, increased to $25.5 million in the third quarter 2009,
compared to $2.5 million in the third quarter 2008. This increase is primarily a
result of lower returns on plan assets in 2008 partially offset by the positive
benefits of voluntary pension contributions made over the last several years.
* Retirement benefit expense of $25.5 million in the third quarter 2009 improved
from $33.4 million in the second quarter 2009. This improvement resulted from a
$350 million voluntary cash contribution to our U.S. defined pension benefit
pension plan which significantly improved the plan`s funded position.
* For the third quarter 2009, retirement benefit expense of $15.9 million was
included in cost of sales and $9.6 million was included in selling and
administrative expenses. For the third quarter 2008, the amount of retirement
benefit expense included in cost of sales was $1.6 million, and the amount
included in selling and administrative expenses was $0.9 million.
Income Taxes
* Third quarter 2009 income taxes were a benefit of $1.4 million. This resulted
from an effective tax rate of 39.6% reduced by an income tax benefit of $2.4
million for adjustment of taxes paid in a prior year. Third quarter 2008
included an income tax provision of $83.9 million, or 36.3% of income before
tax.
* The provision for income taxes for the first nine months of 2009 included a
non-recurring charge of $11.5 million recognized in the second quarter 2009
primarily associated with the tax consequences of the June 2009 $350 million
voluntary cash contribution to our pension plan.
Cash Flow, Working Capital and Debt
* Cash on hand was $826.3 million at the end of the third quarter 2009, an
increase of $356.4 million from year-end 2008.
* Cash flow from operations during the first nine months 2009 was $149.4 million
including the voluntary net cash contribution in the second quarter 2009 to the
Company`s U.S. defined benefit pension plan. Excluding the $350.0 million
voluntary cash pension contribution and the associated $108.5 million U.S.
Federal income tax refund, cash flow from operations for the first nine months
of 2009 was $390.9 million.
* Managed working capital was reduced by $344.8 million in the first nine months
2009 primarily as a result of lower business activity and raw material costs.
The reduction in managed working capital resulted from a $115.3 million decrease
in accounts receivable, a $224.2 million decrease in inventory, and a $5.3
million increase in accounts payable.
* At September 30, 2009, managed working capital was 35.0% of annualized sales,
compared to 35.2% of annualized sales at year-end 2008. We define managed
working capital as accounts receivable plus gross inventories less accounts
payable.
* Cash used in investing activities was $302.6 million in the first nine months
2009 and consisted primarily of capital expenditures.
* Cash provided by financing activities was $509.6 million in the first nine
months 2009 primarily due to receipt of $734.4 million of net proceeds from the
second quarter 2009 debt issuances, partially offset by debt retirements of
$189.4 million and dividend payments of $35.3 million.
* Net debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 10.5% at the end of the
third quarter 2009, compared to 2.0% at the end of 2008. Total debt to total
capital was 34.0% at September 30, 2009, compared to 20.7% at the end of 2008.
* There were no borrowings outstanding under ATI`s $400 million unsecured
domestic borrowing facility, although a portion of the letters of credit
capacity was utilized.
New Accounting Pronouncement Adopted in 2009
* As required, in the first quarter 2009, we adopted changes to the financial
accounting standards related to the presentation of noncontrolling interests in
consolidated financial statements. Early adoption of this change in accounting
standards was prohibited. The new accounting standard changes the classification
of noncontrolling (minority) interests on the balance sheet and the accounting
for and reporting of transactions between the reporting entity and holders of
such noncontrolling interests. Under the new standard, net income encompasses
the total income before minority interest expense or benefit. The income
statement includes separate disclosure of the attribution of income or loss
between the controlling and noncontrolling interests. Increases and decreases in
the noncontrolling ownership interest amount are accounted for as equity
transactions. As a result of adopting the new standard, the balance sheet and
the income statement have been recast retrospectively for the presentation of
noncontrolling (minority) interest in our STAL joint venture.

analysts on October 21, 2009, at 1 p.m. ET to discuss the financial results. The
conference call will be broadcast live on www.alleghenytechnologies.com. To

As part of managing the liquidity in our business, we focus on controlling managed working capital, which is defined as gross accounts receivable and gross inventories, less accounts payable. In measuring performance in controlling this managed working capital, we exclude the effects of LIFO inventory valuation reserves, excess and obsolete inventory reserves, and reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable which, due to their nature, are managed separately.
