Earnings per share for Q4 2022 was $0.53, and ATI adjusted EBITDA* was $140.1 million, or 13.9% of sales.  Adjusted results for Q3 2022 exclude $19.9 million for a litigation settlement.  Fourth quarter 2021 adjusted results exclude a $65.5 million pre-tax debt extinguishment charge for the redemption of the $500 million, 5.875% notes due in 2023.

* Detailed reconciliations of the reported information under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) to adjusted non-GAAP figures are included in accompanying financial tables.

“The team executed well in the fourth quarter, meeting increasing demand in strong markets and accelerating cash generation,” said Robert S. Wetherbee, Board Chair, President and CEO. “Aerospace and defense sales increased by 65% over the prior year, reflecting the power of the markets and value-add shift made possible by our transformation.”

The momentum in our core markets is driving profitable growth across the enterprise. In our HPMC segment, full-year sales were up more than 40%, and EBITDA margins expanded over 400 basis points. In the AA&S segment, the benefits of our transformation resulted in a 33% increase in full-year sales and EBITDA margin expansion exceeding 300 basis points.

“We’re on the verge of the most robust aerospace ramp in decades, and we’re running our business to take full advantage of everything that opportunity presents,” said Wetherbee.

  • HPMC’s fourth quarter 2022 sales decreased 3% compared to the third quarter 2022. While aerospace and defense related sales were comparable to Q3 2022, other markets, most notably energy were down modestly. Overall aerospace and defense sales were 83% of total HPMC sales in the fourth quarter 2022. Fourth quarter 2022 sales improved 42% compared to the fourth quarter 2021, with sales of commercial aerospace products increasing by 85% compared to the prior year period.
  • HPMC segment EBITDA was $81.8 million, or 18.3% of sales. Strength in the HPMC segment continues to be driven by content on the next-generation platforms. HPMC’s full year 2022 sales associated with these next-generation platforms were in line with full year 2019 deliveries.

  • AA&S fourth quarter 2022 sales decreased 2% compared to the third quarter 2022. Fourth quarter sales to the aerospace and defense markets were 9% higher compared to the third quarter 2022. Fourth quarter sales to the energy markets increased 8% compared to the third quarter 2022. These favorable trends were offset by recessionary softness in general industrial end markets. Fourth quarter 2022 sales improved 25% compared to the fourth quarter 2021, despite lingering COVID impacts associated with our Asian precision rolled strip business which saw sales decline by 22%. Sales of commercial aerospace products increased by 113% compared to the prior year period.
  • AA&S segment EBITDA was $72.1 million, or 12.8% of sales. Weaker mix of nickel-alloy mill products resulted in lower margins in the fourth quarter 2022 compared to the third quarter 2022. Fourth quarter 2022 EBITDA margins saw meaningful expansion when compared to the fourth quarter 2021 as a result of the stronger deliveries of high value-add products including nickel-based alloys and titanium mill products.

Corporate Items and Cash

  • Closed operations and other expense (income) was a benefit of $0.7 million in the fourth quarter 2022, compared to expense of $6.3 million in the third quarter 2022, and expense of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter 2021. Higher costs in the third quarter 2022 were primarily related to foreign currency remeasurement impacts and higher costs associated with closed operations.
  • Fourth quarter 2022 results include a $4.2 million income tax provision, primarily related to our Asian precision rolled strip business. Fourth quarter 2021 results included a $4.7 million income tax benefit, primarily related to a preferential tax rate for our Asian precision rolled strip business. ATI maintains a valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets and does not expect to pay any significant U.S. federal or state income taxes for the next several years due to net operating loss carryforwards.
  • Fourth quarter 2021 results include a $65.5 million debt extinguishment charge related to the redemption of our $500 million 2023 notes.
  • For the fourth quarter of 2022, cash provided by operating activities was $324.3 million, and cash provided by operations was $224.9 million for the full year. Fourth quarter 2022 managed working capital as a percent of sales improved to 30.1%. Continued efforts to focus on operational improvements are yielding improved inventory turns and reducing the inventory intensity of our business. Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter were $30.4 million and full year capital expenditures were $130.9 million. 2022 capital expenditures exclude $38 million of incurred but unpaid capital expenditures at the end of 2022.
  • Cash on hand at December 31, 2022 was $584 million, and available additional liquidity under the asset-based lending (ABL) credit facility was approximately $538 million. ATI has no significant debt maturities until 2025.
  • Of the $150 million approved by the Board for share repurchases, the Company has repurchased $140 million in 2022.
  • As of December 31, 2022, our consolidated net pension liability was $219 million, or 88% funded on a financial reported basis, a significant improvement compared to a $396 million liability, or 84% funded position, at December 31, 2021.

Results improved during 2022, despite the inclusion of the loss on the sale of the Sheffield, UK operations and the costs associated with the settlement of litigation related to the 2016 idling of the Rowley, UT titanium sponge production facility.  The 2022 charges were partially offset by severance-related reserve adjustments based on changes in the planned operating rates and revised work force reduction estimates.  Results from 2021 included costs associated with a three and a half month labor strike primarily affecting the AA&S segment and a $65.5 million debt extinguishment charge related to the redemption of our $500 million 2023 notes.  Partially offsetting those charges in 2021 were the favorable impacts of a $64.9 million pre-tax retirement benefit settlement gain, $13.8 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the Flowform Products business, and pre-tax net credits for restructuring charges, primarily related to lowered severance-related reserves based on changes in planned operating rates and revised workforce reduction estimates.

Outlook

“We’re strategically investing—with disciplined capital allocation—to ensure we have the capabilities and capacity needed to meet unprecedented demand,” said Wetherbee. “Our deliberate actions to transform give us resilience against potential headwinds, reducing the impact of volatility on our business. We expect ongoing strength in our key markets to drive profitable revenue growth,” he said. “As our results demonstrate, we’re on track to achieve our long-term targets, delivering for our customers, our shareholders, and our team.”

ATI will conduct a conference call with investors and analysts on Thursday, February 2, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. ET to discuss the financial results.

ATI Inc.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited, dollars in millions, except per share amounts)


The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, used in managing the business, may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods.  For example, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors because these measures are commonly used to analyze companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and liquidity.  Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate operating performance.  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and capital expenditures.  Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The following table provides the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in the Company’s press release dated February 2, 2023:

(a) Full year 2021 results include $63.2 million of pre-tax strike related costs, primarily consisting of overhead costs recognized in the period due to below-normal operating rates, higher costs for outside conversion activities, and ongoing benefit costs for striking employees.

(b)  Fourth quarter 2022 includes a $0.2 million pre-tax restructuring charge.  Third quarter 2022 results includes a $19.9 million pre-tax litigation reserve, partially offset by a $2.6 million pre-tax credit for restructuring charges, primarily related to lowered severance-related reserves based on changes in planned operating rates and revised workforce reduction estimates.  Full year 2022 results includes a $28.5 million pre-tax litigation reserve, partially offset by a $4.8 million pre-tax credit for restructuring charges, primarily related to lowered severance-related reserves based on changes in planned operating rates and revised workforce reduction estimates.  Fourth quarter 2021 and full year 2021 results include $2.0 million and $10.5 million, respectively, of pre-tax net credits for restructuring charges, primarily related to lowered severance-related reserves based on changes in planned operating rates and revised workforce reduction estimates.

(c) Full year 2021 results include a $64.9 million pre-tax retirement benefit settlement gain associated with the new collective bargaining agreement that was ratified on July 14, 2021 with the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied & Industrial Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC involving approximately 1,100 active full-time represented employees located primarily within the AA&S segment operations, as well as a number of inactive employees.

(d) Full year 2022 results include a $141.0 million loss on the sale of our Sheffield, UK operations, which was completed in the second quarter 2022.  This loss includes $55.6 million related to the UK defined benefit pension plan, of which $26.1 million was reported as a net pension asset and $29.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and $20.0 million of cumulative translation adjustment foreign exchange losses.  This loss was offset by $6.8 million pre-tax gain on the sale of our small Pico Rivera, CA operations as part of the strategy to exit standard stainless products.  Fourth quarter 2021 and full year 2021 results include a $0.1 million and $13.8 million, respectively, pre-tax gain on the sale of its Flowform Products business, which uses flowforming process technologies to produce thin-walled components in net or near-net shapes across multiple alloy systems for use in the aerospace & defense and energy markets.

(e)  Full year and fourth quarter 2022 results include a $0.9 million pre-tax credit for ATI’s 50% share of Allegheny & Tsingshan Stainless joint venture’s credit for restructuring charges.  

(f) Full year and fourth quarter 2021 results include a $65.5 million pre-tax debt extinguishment charge for the redemption of the $500 million, 5.875% Notes due 2023.


Managed Working Capital

As part of managing the performance of our business, we focus on controlling Managed Working Capital, which we define as gross accounts receivable, short-term contract assets and gross inventories, less accounts payable and short-term contract liabilities.  We exclude the effects of inventory valuation reserves and reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable when computing this non-GAAP performance measure, which is not intended to replace Working Capital or to be used as a measure of liquidity.  We assess Managed Working Capital performance as a percentage of the prior three months annualized sales to evaluate the asset intensity of our business.
