NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Unaudited
Note 1. Accounting Policies
The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allegheny Technologies Incorporated and its subsidiaries. Unless the context requires otherwise, “Allegheny Technologies”, “ATI” and “the Company” refer to Allegheny Technologies Incorporated and its subsidiaries.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform with the fiscal year 2013 presentation. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period. The December 31, 2012 financial information has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In January 2013, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to the disclosure of offsetting assets and liabilities. These changes require an entity to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The enhanced disclosures will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to understand and evaluate the effect or potential effect of master netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. Other than the additional disclosure requirements, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2013, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. These changes require an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. These requirements are to be applied to each component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Other than the additional disclosure requirements (see Note 13), the adoption of these changes had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that requires an entity to net its liability for unrecognized tax positions against a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law. The provisions of this new guidance become effective for the Company in fiscal year 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements. This guidance requires an entity that is joint and severally liable to measure the obligation as the sum of the amount the entity has agreed with co-obligors to pay and any additional amount it expects to pay on behalf of one or more co-obligors. Required disclosures include a description of the nature of the arrangement, how the liability arose, the relationship with co-obligors and the terms and conditions of the arrangement. These changes become effective for the Company in fiscal year 2014. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In March 2013, the FASB issued changes to a parent entity’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. The amendments specify that a cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) should be released into earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. For sales of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of CTA attributable to the investment would be recognized in earnings when the investment is sold. When an entity sells either a part or all of its investment in a consolidated foreign entity, CTA

Table of Contents
would be recognized in earnings only if the sale results in the parent no longer having a controlling financial interest in the foreign entity. In addition, CTA should be recognized in earnings in a business combination achieved in stages (i.e., a step acquisition). These changes become effective for the Company in fiscal year 2014. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Note 2. Inventories
Inventories at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows (in millions):

| September 30, 2013 |  | December 31, 2012
Raw materials and supplies | $ | 330.7 |  |  | $ | 351.6 |
Work-in-process | 900.3 |  |  | 1,063.9 |
Finished goods | 164.7 |  |  | 209.0 |
Total inventories at current cost | 1,395.7 |  |  | 1,624.5 |
Less allowances to reduce current cost values to LIFO basis | (12.4 | ) |  | (76.9 | )
Progress payments | (38.4 | ) |  | (11.0 | )
Total inventories, net | $ | 1,344.9 |  |  | $ | 1,536.6 |

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out (“LIFO”), first-in, first-out (“FIFO”), and average cost methods) or market, less progress payments. Most of the Company’s inventory is valued utilizing the LIFO costing methodology. Inventory of the Company’s non-U.S. operations is valued using average cost or FIFO methods. The effect of using the LIFO methodology to value inventory, rather than FIFO, decreased cost of sales by $39.1 million for the first nine months of 2013 compared to a decrease of $28.4 million for the first nine months of 2012.
Note 3. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was as follows (in millions):

| September 30, 2013 |  | December 31, 2012
Land | $ | 29.9 |  |  | $ | 34.4 |

Equipment and leasehold improvements | 3,431.9 |  |  | 3,344.4 |

Accumulated depreciation and amortization | (1,664.4 | ) |  | (1,739.9 | )
Total property, plant and equipment, net | $ | 2,744.7 |  |  | $ | 2,559.9 |

The construction in progress portion of property, plant and equipment at September 30, 2013 was $900.1 million.

Note 4. Discontinued Operations
On September 16, 2013, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement to sell its tungsten materials business, which produces tungsten powder, tungsten heavy alloys, tungsten carbide materials, and carbide cutting tools, for $605 million. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter 2013.
Also, during the third quarter of 2013, the Company completed a strategic review of its iron castings and fabricated components businesses. Based on current and forecasted results, these businesses were not projected to meet the Company's long-term profitable growth and return on capital employed expectations. As a result of this review, the Company closed its fabricated components business and recorded $6.4 million of pre-tax exit costs, including $5.6 million of non-cash impairment charges for long-lived assets, and $0.8 million primarily related to lease exit costs. The Company expects the cash requirements associated with lease-related exit costs to be approximately $3.8 - $4.3 million, to be incurred over the next four years. The planned divestiture of the iron castings business, which is held for sale at September 30, 2013, resulted in a $3.1 million pre-tax, non-cash long-lived asset impairment charge based on an analysis of the estimated fair value of the business, which represents Level 3 unobservable information in the fair value hierarchy.
The tungsten materials, iron castings and fabricated components businesses were all previously reported as part of the Company's Engineered Products segment. The net assets of these businesses were classified as held for sale as of the end of the third quarter of 2013 and the operating results of these businesses have been included in discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Results of discontinued operations include $9.5 million pre-tax ($8.1 million after-tax) of charges associated with the iron castings and fabricated components divestitures.
The following table presents summarized operating results for these discontinued operations (in millions):

On July 12, 2013, ATI issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). Interest on the 2023 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 5.875% per year and will mature on August 15, 2023, unless redeemed or repurchased earlier. The interest rate payable on the 2023 Notes is subject to adjustment in the event of a change in the credit ratings on the 2023 Notes. A downgrade of the Company's credit ratings could result in an increase to the interest cost with respect to the 2023 Notes. The Company will use net proceeds from the offering of the 2023 Notes for general corporate purposes which may include repurchases, repayment or refinancing of debt, capital expenditures, additions to working capital, the financing of future acquisitions or strategic combinations.
In May and September 2013, the Company amended its $400 million senior unsecured domestic revolving credit facility to, among other things, extend the expiration date of the commitments of the lenders thereunder to May 31, 2018 and to modify the maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio permitted under the facility. Under the terms of the facility, the Company may increase the size of the credit facility by up to $100 million without seeking the further approval of the lending group. As amended, the facility requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio (consolidated total indebtedness divided by consolidated earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization for the four prior fiscal quarters) of 4.50 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The maximum leverage ratio is reduced to 4.0 beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2013, then to 3.75 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and is further reduced to 3.50 beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2015 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter. As amended, the credit facility requires that the Company maintain an interest coverage ratio (consolidated earnings before interest and taxes divided by interest expense) of not less than 2.0 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, 1.75 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, and 2.0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter. At September 30, 2013, the leverage ratio was 4.18 and the interest coverage ratio was 2.71. The definition of consolidated earnings before interest and taxes, and consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as used in the interest coverage and leverage ratios excludes any non-cash pension expense or income, and consolidated indebtedness in the leverage ratio is net of cash on hand in excess of $50 million. The Company was in compliance with these required ratios during all applicable periods. As of September 30, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings made against the facility, although a portion of the facility was used to support approximately $4 million in letters of credit. The facility includes a $200 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit.
The Company has an additional separate credit facility for the issuance of letters of credit. As of September 30, 2013, $32 million in letters of credit were outstanding under this facility.
In addition, Shanghai STAL Precision Stainless Steel Company Limited (STAL), the Company’s Chinese joint venture company in which ATI has a 60% interest, has a 205 million renminbi (approximately $33 million at September 30, 2013 exchange rates) revolving credit facility with a group of banks, which expires in August 2014. This credit facility is supported

solely by STAL’s financial capability without any guarantees from the joint venture partners. As of September 30, 2013, there were no borrowings under this credit facility.
The ATI Ladish Series B and Series C Notes are guaranteed by ATI and are equally ranked with all of ATI’s existing and future senior unsecured debt.
Note 6. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging
As part of its risk management strategy, the Company, from time-to-time, utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to changes in raw material prices, energy costs, foreign currencies, and interest rates. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company accounts for most of these contracts as hedges. In general, hedge effectiveness is determined by examining the relationship between offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the item being hedged, and the financial instrument being used for the hedge. Effectiveness is measured utilizing regression analysis and other techniques to determine whether the change in the fair market value or cash flows of the derivative exceeds the change in fair value or cash flow of the hedged item. Calculated ineffectiveness, if any, is immediately recognized in the consolidated statements of income.
The Company sometimes uses futures and swap contracts to manage exposure to changes in prices for forecasted purchases of raw materials, such as nickel and natural gas. Under these contracts, which are generally accounted for as cash flow hedges, the price of the item being hedged is fixed at the time that the contract is entered into and the Company is obligated to make or receive a payment equal to the net change between this fixed price and the market price at the date the contract matures.
The majority of ATI’s products are sold utilizing raw material surcharges and index mechanisms. However, as of September 30, 2013, the Company had entered into financial hedging arrangements primarily at the request of its customers, related to firm orders, for an aggregate notional amount of approximately 7% of its estimated annual nickel requirements. These nickel hedges extend to 2020.
At September 30, 2013, the outstanding financial derivatives used to hedge the Company’s exposure to energy cost volatility included natural gas cost hedges for approximately 80% of its annual forecasted domestic requirements for 2013, approximately 75% for 2014, and approximately 30% for 2015, and electricity hedges for Western Pennsylvania operations of approximately 10% of its forecasted on-peak and off-peak requirements for 2014.
While the majority of the Company’s direct export sales are transacted in U.S. dollars, foreign currency exchange contracts are used, from time-to-time, to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency exchange rates for those transactions denominated in a non-U.S. currency. The Company sometimes purchases foreign currency forward contracts that permit it to sell specified amounts of foreign currencies expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. The forward contracts are denominated in the same foreign currencies in which export sales are denominated. These contracts are designated as hedges of the variability in cash flows of a portion of the forecasted future export sales transactions which otherwise would expose the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company may also enter into foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedges, which are denominated in the same foreign currency in which export sales are denominated. At September 30, 2013, the outstanding financial derivatives, including both hedges and undesignated derivatives, that are used to manage the Company’s exposure to foreign currency, primarily euros, represented approximately 10% of its forecasted total international sales through 2016. In addition, the Company may also designate cash balances held in foreign currencies as hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions.
The Company may enter into derivative interest rate contracts to maintain a reasonable balance between fixed- and floating-rate debt. There were no unsettled derivative financial instruments related to debt balances for the periods presented.
There are no credit risk-related contingent features in the Company’s derivative contracts, and the contracts contained no provisions under which the Company has posted, or would be required to post, collateral. The counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts are substantial and creditworthy commercial banks that are recognized market makers. The Company controls its credit exposure by diversifying across multiple counterparties and by monitoring credit ratings and credit default swap spreads of its counterparties. The Company also enters into master netting agreements with counterparties when possible.

For derivative financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current period results. The Company did not use fair value or net investment hedges for the periods presented. The effects of derivative instruments in the tables below are presented net of related income taxes.

The estimated fair value of financial instruments at December 31, 2012 was as follows:

|  |  | Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
(In millions) | Total Carrying Amount |  | Total Estimated Fair Value |  | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) |  | Significant Observable Inputs (Level 2)
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 304.6 |  |  | $ | 304.6 |  |  | $ | 304.6 |  |  | $ | — |

Debt | 1,480.1 |  |  | 1,703.2 |  |  | 1,625.6 |  |  | 77.6 |

In accordance with accounting standards, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards established three levels of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: Fair value was determined using Level 1 information.
Derivative financial instruments: Fair values for derivatives were measured using exchange-traded prices for the hedged items. The fair value was determined using Level 2 information, including consideration of counterparty risk and the Company’s credit risk.
Short-term and long-term debt: The fair values of the Company’s publicly traded debt were based on Level 1 information. The fair values of the other short-term and long-term debt were determined using Level 2 information.

Note 8. Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits
The Company has defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans covering substantially all employees. Benefits under the defined benefit pension plans are generally based on years of service and/or final average pay. The Company funds the U.S. pension plans in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Internal Revenue Code.
The Company also sponsors several postretirement plans covering certain salaried and hourly employees. The plans provide health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees. In most plans, Company contributions towards premiums are capped based on the cost as of a certain date, thereby creating a defined contribution. For the non-collectively bargained plans, the Company maintains the right to amend or terminate the plans at its discretion.
For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the components of pension expense and components of other postretirement benefit expense for the Company’s defined benefit plans included the following (in millions):

Other postretirement benefit costs for a defined contribution plan were $2.0 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Note 9. Income Taxes
Third quarter 2013 results included a benefit for income taxes of $8.5 million, or 24.1% of loss before tax, compared to a provision of $14.8 million, or 30.8% of income before tax, for the comparable period. The third quarter of 2013 included a lower than normal tax benefit due to the impacts of income taxes reported in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions.
For the first nine months of 2013, the benefit for income taxes was $4.4 million, or 31.4% of loss before tax, compared to a provision of $66.6 million, or 32.1% of income before tax, for the nine months of 2012. The first nine months of 2013 included a discrete tax benefit of $6.7 million, primarily associated with adjustments to prior years’ taxes and 2013 Federal tax law changes. The first nine months of 2012 included a discrete tax benefit of $4.2 million primarily related to state income taxes.

Note 10. Business Segments
In the third quarter of 2013, the Company restructured its Engineered Products segment due to the planned divestitures of its tungsten materials and casting services businesses and the closure of the fabricated components business (see Note 4). Such restructuring included the integration of the previously standalone specialty steel forgings business into ATI Ladish’s forgings operations in the High Performance Metals segment, and the integration of its precision titanium and specialty alloy flat-rolled finishing business into ATI Allegheny Ludlum’s specialty plate business in the Flat-Rolled Products segment. The segment results for High Performance Metals and Flat-Rolled Products below reflect these changes for all periods presented. The other businesses that comprised the Engineered Products segment are classified as discontinued operations, and are not reported within business segment results.

Retirement benefit expense represents defined benefit plan pension expense, and other postretirement benefit expense for both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. Operating profit with respect to the Company’s business segments excludes any retirement benefit expense. Costs associated with multiemployer pension plans are included in segment operating profit, and costs associated with defined contribution pension plans are included in segment operating profit or corporate expenses, as applicable.
Corporate expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $8.1 million compared to $14.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in corporate expenses was primarily related to lower incentive compensation expenses associated with annual and long-term performance plans, and a favorable litigation settlement.
Interest expense, net of interest income, in the third quarter was $18.2 million, compared to net interest expense of $17.2 million in the third quarter 2012. The increase in interest expense was primarily due the 2023 Notes issued on July 12, 2013, partially offset by increased capitalized interest on major strategic projects. Interest expense benefited from the capitalization of interest costs of $12.7 million in the third quarter 2013 compared to $6.6 million in the third quarter 2012. The increased capitalized interest amounts are primarily related to the Hot-Rolling and Processing Facility.

Table of Contents
Closed company and other expenses primarily includes charges incurred in connection with closed operations and other non-operating income or expense. These items are presented primarily in selling and administrative expenses and in other income in the statements of operations. These items resulted in net charges of $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Retirement benefit expense, which includes pension expense and other postretirement expense, increased to $34.5 million in the third quarter 2013, compared to $30.6 million in the third quarter 2012. This increase was primarily due to the utilization of a lower discount rate to value retirement benefit obligations and increased expense for defined contribution plan other postretirement benefits.
Note 11. Per Share Information
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income from continuing operations per common share:

Basic income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to ATI per common share | $ | (0.27 | ) |  | $ | 0.30 |  |  | $ | (0.14 | ) |  | $ | 1.27 |
Diluted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to ATI per common share | $ | (0.27 | ) |  | $ | 0.29 |  |  | $ | (0.14 | ) |  | $ | 1.21 |

Common stock that would be issuable upon the assumed conversion of the 2014 Convertible Notes and other option equivalents and contingently issuable shares are excluded from the computation of contingently issuable shares, and therefore, from the denominator for diluted earnings per share, if the effect of inclusion is anti-dilutive. Excluded shares for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 were 10.0 million shares. There were no anti-dilutive shares for the periods ended September 30, 2012.

The condensed consolidating balance sheets at December 31, 2012 have been restated to revise the presentation of intercompany balances, and to reflect equity elimination entries between Non-guarantor Subsidiaries within the Non-guarantor balance sheet, rather than as part of Eliminations. These revisions increased Non-guarantor balances of total current assets $1,289.9 million and total assets $1,112.7 million, decreased total current liabilities and total liabilities $196.8 million, and increased total stockholders' equity $1,309.5 million. The Subsidiary balances of total assets, total current liabilities and total liabilities were each reduced by $141.1 million to reclassify intercompany balances to a net payable presentation. There was no impact to the consolidated financial statements as a result of these presentation changes.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various domestic and international environmental laws and regulations that govern the discharge of pollutants and disposal of wastes, and which may require that it investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. The Company could incur substantial cleanup costs, fines, and civil or criminal sanctions, third party property damage or personal injury claims as a result of violations or liabilities under these laws or noncompliance with environmental permits required at its facilities. The Company is currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of its current and former sites, as well as third party sites.
Environmental liabilities are recorded when the Company’s liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable. In many cases, however, the Company is not able to determine whether it is liable or, if liability is probable, to reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss. Estimates of the Company’s liability remain subject to additional uncertainties, including the nature and extent of site contamination, available remediation alternatives, the extent of corrective actions that may be required, and the number, participation, and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”). The Company adjusts its accruals to reflect new information as appropriate. Future adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations in a given period, but the Company cannot reliably predict the amounts of such future adjustments.
At September 30, 2013, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled approximately $15 million, of which $9 million was included in other current liabilities. The reserve includes estimated probable future costs of $5 million for federal Superfund and comparable state-managed sites; $7 million for formerly owned or operated sites for which the Company has remediation or indemnification obligations; $2 million for owned or controlled sites at which Company operations have been discontinued; and $1 million for sites utilized by the Company in its ongoing operations. The Company continues to evaluate whether it may be able to recover a portion of past and future costs for environmental liabilities from third parties and to pursue such recoveries where appropriate.
24

Table of Contents
Future investigation or remediation activities may result in the discovery of additional hazardous materials, potentially higher levels of contamination than discovered during prior investigation, and may impact costs of the success or lack thereof in remedial solutions. Therefore, future developments, administrative actions or liabilities relating to environmental matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site. The Company expects that it will expend present accruals over many years and that remediation of all sites with which it has been identified will be completed within thirty years.
See Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 for a discussion of legal proceedings affecting the Company.
A number of other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its currently and formerly owned businesses, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, government contracting, employment, employee and retiree benefits, taxes, environmental, health and safety and occupational disease, and stockholder and corporate governance matters. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations for that period.
Based on currently available information, it is reasonably possible that costs for recorded matters may exceed the Company’s recorded reserves by as much as $8 million. In addition, as part of the agreement to sell the tungsten materials business, the Company has agreed to indemnify the buyer for a five year period for conditional asset retirement obligation costs up to $13 million, which is approximately $9.5 million above the Company's recorded reserve for this matter.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview
Allegheny Technologies is one of the largest and most diversified specialty metals producers in the world. We use innovative technologies to offer global markets a wide range of specialty metals solutions. Our products include titanium and titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys and superalloys, zirconium and related alloys, advanced powder alloys, stainless and specialty steel alloys, grain-oriented electrical steel, forgings, castings, and machining capabilities. Our specialty metals are produced in a wide range of alloys and product forms and are selected for use in applications that demand metals having exceptional hardness, toughness, strength, resistance to heat, corrosion or abrasion, or a combination of these characteristics. ATI is a fully integrated supplier, from alloy development, to raw materials (for titanium sponge) to melting and hot-working (for other specialty alloy systems), through highly engineered finished components.
On September 16, 2013, we announced an agreement to sell our tungsten materials business to Kennametal Inc. for $605 million. The transaction is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter 2013, and we expect to record a significant gain in the fourth quarter as a result of this divestiture. The financial results of the tungsten materials business are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
On October 14, 2013, we announced the restructuring of our Engineered Products segment, including the integration of the previously standalone specialty steel forgings business into ATI Ladish's forgings operations in the High Performance Metals segment, and the integration of our precision titanium and specialty alloy flat-rolled finishing business into ATI Allegheny Ludlum's specialty plate business in the Flat-Rolled Products segment. Segment results for High Performance Metals and Flat-Rolled Products reflect these changes for all periods presented.
We also announced the completion of a strategic review of our iron castings and fabricated components businesses, which were also part of the Engineered Products segment. Based on current and forecasted financial results, these businesses were not projected to meet our long-term profitable growth and return on capital employed expectations. The fabricated components business was closed in the third quarter 2013, and the iron castings business is classified as held for sale at September 30, 2013. Results for these two operations are now classified in discontinued operations, and are not reported within our sales, results of continuing operations, or business segment results. We recorded $9.5 million of pre-tax charges ($8.1 million after tax) in the third quarter 2013 primarily related to impairment of long-lived assets associated with these operations.
In the third quarter, we experienced sluggish demand for many of our major end markets. Sales for the third quarter 2013 were $972 million, compared to $1.13 billion in the third quarter 2012. Compared to the third quarter 2012, sales decreased 19% in the High Performance Metals segment and 9% in the Flat-Rolled Products segment. For the first nine months of 2013, total sales were $3.13 billion, 14% less than for first nine months of 2012. During the third quarter 2013, jet engine destocking at OEMs, while beginning to show signs of stabilizing, continued to impact shipments of both mill products and forged and machined components in our High Performance Metals segment. Lackluster economic growth in the U.S. and Europe, resulting in excess supply of natural gas, has temporarily softened demand from the oil and gas market. Also, global economic uncertainties and slowing global GDP growth has reduced project-related demand for our Flat-Rolled Products segment industrial titanium and nickel-based and specialty alloy sheet and plate products.

Segment operating profit for the third quarter 2013 was $27.6 million, or 2.8% of sales, compared to $113.5 million, or 10.0% of sales for the third quarter 2012. The decrease in operating profit was primarily due to lower shipments associated with most of our high-value and standard products, lower base-selling prices for many products, and the impact of higher raw material costs for products with longer manufacturing cycle times not aligned with lower raw material indices/surcharges.
Results were also impacted by the strategic decision to use ATI-produced titanium sponge from our Rowley, UT production facility rather than lower cost titanium scrap to manufacture certain titanium products. We continue to reduce titanium sponge production costs even while we operate the Rowley facility below capacity during our premium-quality (PQ) qualification process. Until the completion of the PQ qualification process, which began in October 2013 and is expected to be completed within 18 to 24 months, we will continue to assess the optimal production rates at Rowley based on market demand for standard and industrial quality titanium products. We expect that this strategic approach regarding Rowley production and the relative cost differential to titanium scrap, which has increased due to the continued decline of standard and industrial quality titanium selling prices and titanium scrap costs, may continue to negatively impact our operating results during the PQ qualification process.
Segment operating profit for the third quarter 2013 in the High Performance Metals segment was $48.0 million or 10.3% of sales compared to $87.4 or 15.3% of sales for the third quarter 2012. Flat-Rolled Products segment operating loss for the third quarter 2013 was $20.4 million, or (4.0%) of sales, compared to segment operating profit of $26.1 million, or 4.7% of sales, for the third quarter 2012. Segment operating profit benefited from $46.4 million in costs reductions during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Segment operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $175.3 million, or 5.6% of sales, compared to $422.2 million, or 11.6% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Segment operating profit (loss) as a percentage of sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was:

| Three months ended September 30, |  | Nine months ended September 30,
| 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2013 |  | 2012
High Performance Metals | 10.3 | % |  | 15.3 | % |  | 12.7 | % |  | 17.0 | %
Flat-Rolled Products | (4.0 | )% |  | 4.7 | % |  | (1.0 | )% |  | 6.4 | %

Our measure of segment operating profit, which we use to analyze the performance and results of our business segments, excludes income taxes, corporate expenses, net interest expense, retirement benefit expense, closed company expenses and restructuring costs, if any. Discontinued operations are also excluded. We believe segment operating profit, as defined, provides an appropriate measure of controllable operating results at the business segment level.
The loss from continuing operations before tax for the third quarter 2013 was $35.3 million, or (3.6)% of sales, compared to income from continuing operations before tax of $48.1 million, or 4.3% of sales for the third quarter 2012. For the first nine months of 2013, the loss from continuing operations before tax was $14.0 million, or (0.4)% of sales, compared to income from continuing operations before tax of $207.5 million, or 5.7% of sales for the comparable 2012 period.
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to ATI for the third quarter 2013 was $28.4 million, or $(0.27) per share, compared to net income from continuing operations attributable to ATI of $31.3 million, or $0.29 per share for the third quarter 2012. Results of discontinued operations for the third quarter 2013 were a loss of $5.4 million, or $(0.05) per share, compared to income of $4.0 million, or $0.03 per share for the third quarter 2012. For the first nine months of 2013, net loss from continuing operations attributable to ATI was $15.0 million, or $(0.14) per share, and net loss attributable to ATI was $19.4 million, or $(0.18) per share, compared to net income from continuing operations attributable to ATI of $134.5 million, or $1.21 per share, and net income attributable to ATI of $147.9 million, or $1.32 per share, for the first nine months of 2012.
At September 30, 2013, we had cash on hand of $535.7 million, an increase of $231.1 million from year-end 2012. Cash flow provided by operations for the first nine months of 2013 was $227.4 million and included an $86.2 million reduction in managed working capital. Additionally, in the first nine months of 2013, we invested $395.5 million in capital expenditures, primarily related to the Flat-Rolled Products segment’s HRPF. In July 2013, we issued $500 million of ten-year senior notes. Net debt to total capitalization was 36.6% and total debt to total capitalization was 44.3% at September 30, 2013. At December 31, 2012, net debt to total capitalization was 32.2% and total debt to total capitalization was 37.4%.
As we look ahead to the fourth quarter 2013, we are not seeing any significant signs of improvement in market conditions. Also, the debate about the U.S. debt ceiling and other fiscal policy issues continues to create uncertainties that negatively impact short-term consumer and business confidence. These issues may negatively impact demand from many of our shorter-cycle end markets at least through the end of the 2013, and possibly into 2014.

In the short term, we plan to remain aggressive with our restructuring, cost reduction, and lean manufacturing efforts and align our cost structure, production, and inventory levels to the demands of our customers and end markets. Our goal is to accomplish this while remaining well-positioned to create value for our strategic customers and our stockholders and realize the expected growth in demand over the next 3 to 5 years from many of our key global markets.
Business Segment Results
Following the announced sale of our tungsten materials business and the restructuring of the other operations of the Engineered Products segment, we now operate in two business segments: High Performance Metals and Flat-Rolled Products. These segments represented the following percentages of our total revenues and segment operating profit for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012:

| 2013 |  | 2012
| Revenue |  | Operating Profit |  | Revenue |  | Operating Profit
High Performance Metals | 48 | % |  | 110 | % |  | 49 | % |  | 72 | %
Flat-Rolled Products | 52 | % |  | (10 | )% |  | 51 | % |  | 28 | %

High Performance Metals Segment
Third quarter 2013 sales decreased 19% to $463.9 million compared to the third quarter 2012, primarily as a result of lower mill product shipments of nickel-based and specialty alloys and titanium and titanium related alloys, and a decrease in sales of precision forged and cast components due to lower demand from the jet engine, construction and mining, nuclear energy, and oil and gas markets. The segment was impacted by reduced demand from the jet engine aftermarket, aggressive inventory management in the aerospace supply chain, reduced demand for forgings from the construction and mining equipment market, and low demand for zirconium products from the nuclear energy and chemical processing industry markets. In addition, lower raw material indices and lower base-selling prices negatively affected sales.

Segment operating profit for the first nine months of 2013 decreased to $192.0 million, or 12.7% of sales, compared to $303.8 million, or 17.0% of sales, for the comparable 2012 period. The decrease in operating profit primarily resulted from lower shipment volumes for most products, the impact of higher raw material costs for products with longer manufacturing cycle times not aligned with falling raw material indices, and lower base-selling prices for some products. Results benefited from $77.5 million in gross cost reductions for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
The High Performance Metals segment operating profit was negatively impacted by continued declines in raw material surcharges due to continued falling raw material prices not being aligned with higher raw material costs due to long manufacturing cycles for many of our products. Further declines in raw material prices could negatively impact short-term demand and the High Performance Metals segment operating profit. Continued utilization of ATI-produced titanium sponge in certain standard quality titanium products, rather than lower cost titanium scrap, is also expected to negatively impact segment operating profit in the near term while these cost differences remain.
Flat-Rolled Products Segment
Third quarter 2013 sales decreased 9% compared to the third quarter 2012, to $508.5 million, primarily due to lower base-selling prices and lower raw material surcharges. Shipments of both standard stainless products and high-value products declined 1%. Average transaction prices for all products, which include surcharges, declined 8%. Third quarter 2013 Flat-Rolled Products segment titanium shipments, including Uniti joint venture conversion, were 3.4 million pounds, a 10% increase compared to the third quarter 2012. Average base-selling prices remain near historically low levels for standard stainless products.

The Flat-Rolled Products segment operating profit was negatively impacted by historically low base-selling prices for standard stainless sheet and plate. The total transaction price for the most common stainless steel sheet has declined significantly over the last several years due to falling raw material prices, most notably for nickel, resulting in lower raw material surcharges, and historically low base-selling prices due to weak demand and excess global supply. While the stainless steel sheet base-selling price increases announced for August and October 2013 appear to be holding, and are expected to benefit future results, further declines in raw material prices could negatively impact short-term demand and the Flat-Rolled Products segment operating profit. Additionally, continued utilization of ATI-produced titanium sponge in certain standard and industrial quality titanium products, rather than lower cost titanium scrap, is also expected to negatively impact segment operating profit in the near term while these cost differences remain.
Corporate Items
Corporate expenses for the third quarter 2013 were $8.1 million, compared to $14.9 million in the third quarter 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, corporate expenses were $32.3 million, compared to $52.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in corporate expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 was primarily the result of reduced annual and long-term performance-based incentive compensation expenses, and a favorable litigation settlement.
Interest expense, net of interest income, in the third quarter 2013 was $18.2 million, compared to net interest expense of $17.2 million in the third quarter 2012. On a year-to-date basis, the first nine months of 2013 net interest expense was $46.5 million compared to $55.7 million for the first nine months of 2012. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to increased capitalized interest on major strategic capital projects, partially offset by an increase from the $500 million, 5.875% senior notes due 2023 issued on July 12, 2013. Interest expense benefited from the capitalization of interest costs on major strategic capital projects of $12.7 million in the third quarter 2013 compared to $6.6 million in the third quarter 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, capitalized interest was $32.9 million and $16.8 million, respectively. The increased capitalized interest amounts are primarily related to the Hot-Rolling and Processing Facility ("HRPF").
Closed company and other expenses for the third quarter 2013 were $2.1 million, compared to $2.7 million for the third quarter 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, other expenses were $11.0 million compared to $14.8 million for the comparable 2012 period. These items are presented primarily in selling and administrative expenses, and in other income in the consolidated statements of operations.
Retirement benefit expense, which includes pension expense and other postretirement expense, increased to $34.5 million in the third quarter 2013, compared to $30.6 million in the third quarter 2012. For the third quarter 2013, retirement benefit expense of $26.9 million was included in cost of sales and $7.6 million was included in selling and administrative expenses. For the third quarter 2012, the amount of retirement benefit expense included in cost of sales was $22.4 million, and the amount included in selling and administrative expenses was $8.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, retirement benefit expense was $99.5 million, compared to $91.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, retirement benefit expense of $77.4 million was included in cost of sales, and $22.1 million was included in selling and administrative expenses. For the prior year to date period, retirement benefit expense of $66.7 million was included in cost of sales and $25.1 million was included in selling and administrative expenses. The quarter-to-date and year-to-date increases in retirement benefit expense were primarily due to the utilization of a lower discount rate to value retirement benefit obligations and increased expense for defined contribution plan other postretirement benefits.

Income Taxes
The third quarter 2013 benefit for income taxes was $8.5 million, or 24.1% of loss before tax, compared to the third quarter 2012 provision for income taxes of $14.8 million, or 30.8% of income before tax. The third quarter 2013 included a lower than normal tax benefit, equal to an additional loss of $(0.04) per share, due to the impacts of income taxes reported in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions. For the first nine months ended September 30, 2013, the benefit for income taxes was $4.4 million, or 31.4% of loss before tax, and was also similarly affected by domestic and foreign tax impacts. The first nine months of 2013 included discrete tax benefits of $6.7 million, primarily associated with adjustments to prior years’ taxes and 2013 Federal tax law changes. The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $66.6 million, or 32.1% of income before tax, and included discrete tax benefits of $4.2 million primarily related to state income taxes.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
On July 12, 2013, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). Interest on the 2023 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 5.875% per year and will mature on August 15, 2023, unless redeemed or repurchased earlier. The interest rate payable on the 2023 Notes is subject to adjustment in the event of a change in the credit ratings on the 2023 Notes. A downgrade of our credit ratings could result in an increase to our interest cost with respect to the 2023 Notes. We will use the net proceeds from the offering of the 2023 Notes for general corporate purposes, which may include repurchases, repayment or refinancing of debt, capital expenditures, additions to working capital, the financing of future acquisitions or strategic combinations.
In May and September 2013, the Company amended its $400 million senior unsecured domestic revolving credit facility to, among other things, extend the expiration date of the commitments of the lenders thereunder to May 31, 2018 and to modify the maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio permitted under the facility. As amended, the facility requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio (consolidated total indebtedness divided by consolidated earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization for the four prior fiscal quarters) of 4.50 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The maximum leverage ratio is reduced to 4.0 beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2013, then to 3.75 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and is further reduced to 3.50 beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2015 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter. As amended, the credit facility requires that the Company maintain an interest coverage ratio (consolidated earnings before interest and taxes divided by interest expense) of not less than 2.0 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, 1.75 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, and 2.0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter. At September 30, 2013, the leverage ratio was 4.18 and the interest coverage ratio was 2.71. Changes in our credit rating do not impact our access to, or the cost of, our existing credit facilities.
As of September 30, 2013, we had no outstanding borrowings under our senior unsecured domestic credit facility, although approximately $4 million of this facility was utilized to support letters of credit.
We believe that internally generated funds, current cash on hand including the proceeds from the 2023 Notes, and available borrowings under existing credit facilities will be adequate to meet foreseeable liquidity needs, including the completion of the HRPF. In addition, we expect to significantly increase our liquidity and financial flexibility with the previously announced sale of our tungsten materials business for $605 million. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter 2013. As a result, we expect to record a significant gain in the fourth quarter 2013 from this transaction and expect to end 2013 with approximately $1.4 billion of cash and available liquidity.
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of SEC Regulation S-K.
Cash Flow and Working Capital
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, cash flow generated from operations was $227.4 million, including a reduction in managed working capital of $86.2 million. Cash used in investing activities was $394.7 million in the first nine months of 2013 and consisted primarily of capital expenditures associated with the Flat-Rolled Products segment's HRPF. Cash provided by financing activities was $398.4 million in the first nine months of 2013 and included net proceeds of $494.8 million from the 2023 Notes, partially offset by dividend payments of $57.7 million to ATI stockholders, dividend payments to noncontrolling interests of $18.0 million, and repayments on other indebtedness of $17.1 million. At September 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents on hand totaled $535.7 million, an increase of $231.1 million from year end 2012. As of September 30, 2013, $109.2 million of cash and cash equivalents were held by our foreign subsidiaries.
As part of managing the liquidity of 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 managed
36

Table of Contents
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. At September 30, 2013, managed working capital increased to 44.5% of annualized total ATI sales, including discontinued operations, compared to 41.1% of annualized sales at December 31, 2012. During the first nine months of 2013, managed working capital decreased by $86.2 million, to $1.7 billion. The reduction in managed working capital from December 31, 2012 resulted from a $171.0 million decrease in inventory, partially offset by a $76.7 million decrease in accounts payable and an $8.1 million increase in accounts receivable. While accounts receivable balances increased during 2013, days sales outstanding, which measures actual collection timing for accounts receivable, improved when compared to year end 2012. Gross inventory turns, which exclude the effect of LIFO inventory valuation reserves, remained essentially unchanged at September 30, 2013 compared to year end 2012.
The components of managed working capital were as follows:

| September 30, |  | December 31,

Capital Expenditures
We have significantly expanded and continue to expand our manufacturing capabilities to meet expected intermediate and long-term demand from the aerospace (engine and airframe), oil and gas, chemical process industry, electrical energy, and medical markets, especially for titanium and titanium-based alloys, nickel-based alloys and superalloys, specialty alloys, and zirconium and related alloys.
Ongoing capital expenditure projects include the design and construction of a new advanced specialty metals Hot-Rolling and Processing Facility (HRPF) at our existing Flat-Rolled Products segment Brackenridge, PA site for approximately $1.2 billion. The HRPF construction is progressing on schedule and on budget. Construction is expected to be completed with assets ready for service by the end of 2013, and formal commissioning is expected to occur in the first half of 2014. The HRPF is designed to be the most powerful mill in the world for production of specialty metals. It is designed to produce thinner and wider hot-rolled coils of exceptional quality at reduced cost with shorter lead times, and require lower working capital requirements. When completed, we believe ATI’s new HRPF will provide unsurpassed manufacturing capability and versatility in the production of a wide range of flat-rolled specialty metals. We expect improved productivity, lower costs, and higher quality for our diversified product mix of flat-rolled specialty metals, including nickel-based and specialty alloys, titanium and titanium alloys, zirconium alloys, Precision Rolled Strip ® products, and stainless sheet and coiled plate products.
Capital expenditures were $395.5 million for the first nine months of 2013, primarily related to the HRPF project. We currently expect our 2013 capital expenditures to be approximately $600 million, with approximately 80% of this being associated with the HRPF project. We expect 2013 to be our peak year of capital expenditures. Our objective is to fund these capital expenditures with cash on hand, including the proceeds from the 2023 Notes, cash flow generated from our operations, cash to be received in the fourth quarter from the sale of our tungsten materials business and if needed, by using a portion of our $400 million unsecured domestic credit facility.

Debt
At September 30, 2013, we had $1,962.1 million in total outstanding debt, compared to $1,480.1 million at December 31, 2012. In July 2013, we issued $500 million of ten year senior notes, which increased total debt outstanding.
In managing our overall capital structure, some of the measures on which we focus are net debt to total capitalization, which is the percentage of our debt, net of cash that may be available to reduce borrowings, to our total invested and borrowed capital, and total debt to total capitalization, which excludes cash balances. Net debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 36.6% at September 30, 2013, compared to 32.2% at December 31, 2012. The net debt to total capitalization was determined as follows:

($ in millions) | September 30, 2013 |  | December 31, 2012

In May and September 2013, the Company amended its $400 million senior unsecured domestic revolving credit facility to, among other things, extend the expiration date of the commitments of the lenders thereunder to May 31, 2018 and to modify the maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio permitted under the facility. The Company was in compliance with the required ratios during all applicable periods. As of September 30, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings made against the facility, although a portion of the facility was used to support approximately $4 million in letters of credit.
We have an additional, separate credit facility for the issuance of letters of credit. As of September 30, 2013, $32 million in letters of credit were outstanding under this facility.
In addition, STAL, the Company’s Chinese joint venture company in which ATI has a 60% interest, has a 205 million renminbi (approximately $33 million at September 30, 2013 exchange rates) revolving credit facility with a group of banks, which expires in August 2014. This credit facility is supported solely by STAL’s financial capability without any guarantees from the joint venture partners. As of September 30, 2013, there were no borrowings under this credit facility.
Retirement Benefits
At December 31, 2012, our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan (U.S. Plan) was approximately 77% funded as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Based upon current regulations and actuarial studies, we are not required to make a cash contribution to the U.S. Plan for 2013. However, we may elect, depending upon investment performance of the pension plan assets and other factors, to make voluntary cash contributions to this plan in the future.

Dividends
A regular quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share of common stock was paid on September 18, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 21, 2013. The payment of dividends and the amount of such dividends depends upon matters deemed relevant by our Board of Directors, such as our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, any limitations imposed by law, credit agreements or senior securities, and other factors deemed relevant and appropriate.
Labor Matters
On July 31, 2013, United Steelworkers (USW) represented employees at ATI Wah Chang, approximately 500 employees, ratified a new four-year labor agreement. The agreement will expire on April 1, 2017.
Critical Accounting Policies
Inventory
At September 30, 2013, we had net inventory of $1,344.9 million. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out (LIFO), first-in, first-out (FIFO) and average cost methods) or market, less progress payments. Costs include direct material, direct labor and applicable manufacturing and engineering overhead, and other direct costs. Most of our inventory is valued utilizing the LIFO costing methodology. Inventory of our non-U.S. operations is valued using average cost or FIFO methods. Under the LIFO inventory valuation method, changes in the cost of raw materials and production activities are recognized in cost of sales in the current period even though these material and other costs may have been incurred at significantly different values due to the length of time of our production cycle. The prices for many of the raw materials we use have been extremely volatile during the past several years. Since we value most of our inventory utilizing the LIFO inventory costing methodology, a rise in raw material costs has a negative effect on our operating results, while, conversely, a fall in material costs results in a benefit to operating results. For example, in 2012 and 2011, the effect of falling raw material costs on our LIFO inventory valuation method resulted in cost of sales which were $76.8 million and $9.3 million lower than would have been recognized had we utilized the FIFO methodology to value our inventory. Conversely, in 2010, the effect of rising raw material costs on our LIFO inventory valuation method resulted in cost of sales which were $60.2 million higher than would have been recognized had we utilized the FIFO methodology to value our inventory. In a period of rising prices, cost of sales expense recognized under LIFO is generally higher than the cash costs incurred to acquire the inventory sold. Conversely, in a period of declining raw material prices, cost of sales recognized under LIFO is generally lower than cash costs incurred to acquire the inventory sold.
Since the LIFO inventory valuation methodology is designed for annual determination, interim estimates of the annual LIFO valuation are required. We recognize the effects of the LIFO inventory valuation method on an interim basis by projecting the expected annual LIFO cost and allocating that projection to the interim quarters equally. These projections of annual LIFO inventory valuation reserve changes are updated quarterly and are evaluated based upon material, labor and overhead costs and projections for such costs at the end of the year plus projections regarding year-end inventory levels. We recorded a $39.1 million reduction to our cost of sales for changes in our LIFO inventory valuation method in the first nine months of 2013.
The LIFO inventory valuation methodology is not utilized by many of the companies with which we compete, including foreign competitors. As such, our results of operations may not be comparable to those of our competitors during periods of volatile material costs due, in part, to the differences between the LIFO inventory valuation method and other acceptable inventory valuation methods.
We evaluate product lines on a quarterly basis to identify inventory values that exceed estimated net realizable value. The calculation of a resulting reserve, if any, is recognized as an expense in the period that the need for the reserve is identified. At September 30, 2013, no significant reserves were required. It is our general policy to write-down to scrap value any inventory that is identified as obsolete and any inventory that has aged or has not moved in more than twelve months. In some instances this criterion is up to twenty-four months due to the longer manufacturing and distribution process for such products.
Asset Impairment
We monitor the recoverability of the carrying value of our long-lived assets. An impairment charge is recognized when the expected net undiscounted future cash flows from an asset’s use (including any proceeds from disposition) are less than the asset’s carrying value, and the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. Changes in the expected use of a long-lived asset group, and the financial performance of the long-lived assets group and its operating segment, are evaluated as indicators of
39

Table of Contents
possible impairment. Future cash flow value may include appraisals for property, plant and equipment, land and improvements, future cash flow estimates from operating the long-lived assets, and other operating considerations. We perform the required annual goodwill impairment evaluation in the fourth quarter of each year. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of each year in conjunction with the annual business planning cycle, or more frequently if new material information is available, we evaluate the recoverability of temporarily idled facilities. In anticipation of the upcoming fourth quarter 2013 review, it is possible that an asset impairment charge may be required on idled long-lived assets with approximately $50 million of carrying value, primarily related to the Albany, OR standard quality titanium sponge production facility.
Following a strategic review which resulted in the decision to exit two small operations, we recorded approximately $9 million of long-lived asset impairment charges in discontinued operations in the third quarter 2013 associated with the closure of our fabricated components business and the planned divestiture of our iron castings business.
Retirement Benefits
In accordance with accounting standards, we determine the discount rate used to value pension plan liabilities as of the last day of each year. The discount rate reflects the current rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively settled. In estimating this rate, we receive input from our actuaries regarding the rates of return on high quality, fixed-income investments with maturities matched to the expected future retirement benefit payments. Based on current market conditions, discount rates are above the year-end 2012 period, where a 4.25% discount rate was used for valuing the pension liabilities. The estimated effect of changing the discount rate by 0.50% would decrease pension liabilities in the case of an increase in the discount rate, or increase pension liabilities in the case of a decrease in the discount rate, by approximately $160 million. Such a change in the discount rate would decrease pension expense in the case of an increase in the discount rate, or increase pension expense in the case of a decrease in the discount rate by approximately $10 million. The effect on pension liabilities for changes to the discount rate, as well as the net effect of other changes in actuarial assumptions and experience, are deferred and amortized over future periods in accordance with the accounting standards.
Other Critical Accounting Policies
A summary of other significant accounting policies is discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Significant areas of uncertainty that require judgments, estimates and assumptions include the accounting for derivatives, retirement plans, income taxes, environmental and other contingencies as well as asset impairment, inventory valuation and collectability of accounts receivable. We use historical and other information that we consider to be relevant to make these judgments and estimates. However, actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions that are used to prepare our financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In January 2013, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to the disclosure of offsetting assets and liabilities. These changes require an entity to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The enhanced disclosures will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to understand and evaluate the effect or potential effect of master netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. Other than the additional disclosure requirements, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2013, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. These changes require an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. These requirements are to be applied to each component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Other than the additional disclosure requirements (see Note 13), the adoption of these changes had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that requires an entity to net its liability for unrecognized tax positions against a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law. The provisions of this new guidance become effective for the Company in fiscal year 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements. This guidance requires an entity that is joint and severally liable to measure the obligation as the sum of the amount the entity has agreed with co-obligors to pay and any additional amount it expects to pay on behalf of one or more co-obligors. Required disclosures include a description of the nature of the arrangement, how the liability arose, the relationship with co-obligors and the terms and conditions of the arrangement. These changes become effective for the Company in fiscal year 2014. We do not anticipate a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.
In March 2013, the FASB issued changes to a parent entity’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. The amendments specify that a cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) should be released into earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. For sales of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of CTA attributable to the investment would be recognized in earnings when the investment is sold. When an entity sells either a part or all of its investment in a consolidated foreign entity, CTA would be recognized in earnings only if the sale results in the parent no longer having a controlling financial interest in the foreign entity. In addition, CTA should be recognized in earnings in a business combination achieved in stages (i.e., a step acquisition). These changes become effective for the Company in fiscal year 2014. We do not anticipate a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.
Forward-Looking and Other Statements
From time to time, we have made and may continue to make “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements in this report relate to future events and expectations and, as such, constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include those containing such words as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “would,” “should,” “will,” “will likely result,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “projects,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and include known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which we are unable to predict or control, that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include: (a) material adverse changes in economic or industry conditions generally, including global supply and demand conditions and prices for our specialty metals; (b) material adverse changes in the markets we serve, including the aerospace and defense, oil and gas/chemical process industry, electrical energy, medical, automotive, construction and mining, and other markets; (c) our inability to achieve the level of cost savings, productivity improvements, synergies, growth or other benefits anticipated by management, from strategic investments and the integration of acquired businesses, whether due to significant increases in energy, raw materials or employee benefits costs, the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, or other factors; (d) volatility of prices and availability of supply of the raw materials that are critical to the manufacture of our products; (e) declines in the value of our defined benefit pension plan assets or unfavorable changes in laws or regulations that govern pension plan funding; (f) significant legal proceedings or investigations adverse to us; and (g) other risk factors summarized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We assume no duty to update our forward-looking statements.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As part of our risk management strategy, we utilize derivative financial instruments, from time to time, to hedge our exposure to changes in raw material prices, energy prices, foreign currencies, and interest rates. We monitor the third-party financial institutions which are our counterparty to these financial instruments on a daily basis and diversify our transactions among counterparties to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. Fair values for derivatives were measured using exchange-traded prices for the hedged items including consideration of counterparty risk and the Company’s credit risk.
Volatility of Energy Prices. Energy resources markets are subject to conditions that create uncertainty in the prices and availability of energy resources. The prices for and availability of electricity, natural gas, oil and other energy resources are subject to volatile market conditions. These market conditions often are affected by political and economic factors beyond our control. Increases in energy costs, or changes in costs relative to energy costs paid by competitors, have and may continue to
41

Table of Contents
adversely affect our profitability. To the extent that these uncertainties cause suppliers and customers to be more cost sensitive, increased energy prices may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We use approximately 10 to 12 million MMBtu’s of natural gas annually, depending upon business conditions, in the manufacture of our products. These purchases of natural gas expose us to risk of higher natural gas prices. For example, a hypothetical $1.00 per MMBtu increase in the price of natural gas would result in increased annual energy costs of approximately $10 to $12 million. We use several approaches to minimize any material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition from volatile energy prices. These approaches include incorporating an energy surcharge on many of our products and using financial derivatives to reduce exposure to energy price volatility.
At September 30, 2013, the outstanding financial derivatives used to hedge our exposure to energy cost volatility included both natural gas and electricity hedges. For natural gas, approximately 80% of our forecasted domestic requirements are hedged for 2013, approximately 75% for 2014, and approximately 30% for 2015. The net mark-to-market valuation of these outstanding natural gas hedges at September 30, 2013 was an unrealized pre-tax loss of $1.9 million, comprised of $0.4 million classified in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $0.2 million was included in other long-term assets, $2.2 million in accrued liabilities, and $0.3 million in other long-term liabilities. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the effects of natural gas hedging activity increased cost of sales by $0.9 million. For electricity usage in our Western Pennsylvania operations, we have hedged approximately 10% of our on-peak and off-peak forecasted requirements for 2014. The net mark-to-market valuation of the electricity hedges was an unrealized pre-tax loss of $0.5 million, which was comprised of $0.4 million in accrued liabilities and $0.1 million in other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet. The effects of the hedging activity are recognized in income over the designated hedge periods.
Volatility of Raw Material Prices. We use raw materials surcharge and index mechanisms to offset the impact of increased raw material costs for a majority of our products; however, competitive factors in the marketplace can limit our ability to institute such mechanisms, and there can be a delay between the increase in the price of raw materials and the realization of the benefit of such mechanisms. For example, in 2012, we used approximately 100 million pounds of nickel; therefore, a hypothetical change of $1.00 per pound in nickel prices would result in increased costs of approximately $100 million. In addition, in 2012, we also used approximately 795 million pounds of ferrous scrap in the production of our flat-rolled products; a hypothetical change of $0.01 per pound would result in increased costs of approximately $8 million. While we enter into raw materials futures contracts from time-to-time to hedge exposure to price fluctuations, such as for nickel, we cannot be certain that our hedge position adequately reduces exposure. We believe that we have adequate controls to monitor these contracts, but we may not be able to accurately assess exposure to price volatility in the markets for critical raw materials.
As of September 30, 2013, we had entered into financial hedging arrangements primarily at the request of our customers related to firm orders for approximately 7% of our total annual nickel requirements. These nickel hedges extend to 2020. Any gain or loss associated with these hedging arrangements is included in cost of sales. At September 30, 2013, the net mark-to-market valuation of our outstanding raw material hedges was an unrealized pre-tax loss of $10.7 million, comprised of $0.1 million in other long-term assets, $9.3 million in accrued liabilities, and $1.5 million in long-term other liabilities on the balance sheet.
Foreign Currency Risk. Foreign currency exchange contracts are used, from time-to-time, to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency exchange rates. We sometimes purchase foreign currency forward contracts that permit us to sell specified amounts of foreign currencies expected to be received from our export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. The forward contracts are denominated in the same foreign currencies in which export sales are denominated. These contracts are designated as hedges of the variability in cash flows of a portion of the forecasted future export sales transactions which otherwise would expose the Company to foreign currency risk. We may also enter into foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedges, which are denominated in the same foreign currency in which export sales are denominated. At September 30, 2013, the outstanding financial derivatives, including both hedges and undesignated derivatives, that are used to manage our exposure to foreign currency, primarily euros, represented approximately 10% of our forecasted total international sales through 2016. In addition, we may also designate cash balances held in foreign currencies as hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions. At September 30, 2013, the net mark-to-market valuation of the outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was a net liability of $8.3 million, of which $0.3 million is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $5.6 million in accrued liabilities $3.0 million in long-term other liabilities on the balance sheet.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings

A number of lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its currently or formerly owned businesses, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, government contracting, employment, employee and retiree benefits, taxes, environmental, health and safety and occupational disease, and stockholder and corporate governance matters. Certain of such lawsuits, claims and proceedings are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and addressed in Note 14 to the unaudited interim financial statements included herein. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations for that period.
