Business Segments
In the third quarter of 2013, the Company restructured its former Engineered Products segment due to the announced divestitures of its tungsten materials and casting services businesses and the closure of the fabricated components business (see Note 2). These businesses are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and are not reported within sales, results of continuing operations, or business segment results. The Company restructured the remaining operations of the former Engineered Products business segment, which represented less than 3% of total sales from continuing operations. The previously standalone specialty steel forgings business was integrated into the forged products operations in the High Performance Metals business segment, and the precision titanium and specialty alloy flat-rolled finishing business was integrated into the specialty plate operations in the Flat-Rolled Products business segment. Segment results for High Performance Metals and Flat-Rolled Products reflect these changes for all periods presented.
The High Performance Metals business segment produces, converts and distributes a wide range of high performance materials, including titanium and titanium-based alloys, nickel- and cobalt-based alloys and superalloys, zirconium and related alloys including hafnium and niobium, advanced powder alloys and other specialty metals, in long product forms such as ingot, billet, bar, rod, wire, shapes and rectangles, and seamless tubes, plus precision forgings and castings, and machined parts. These products are designed for the high performance requirements of such major end markets as aerospace and defense, oil and gas, chemical process industry, electrical energy, and medical. The business units in this segment include ATI Allvac, ATI Wah Chang and ATI Ladish.

The Flat-Rolled Products business segment produces, converts and distributes stainless steel, nickel-based alloys, specialty alloys, and titanium and titanium-based alloys, in a variety of product forms including plate, sheet, engineered strip, and Precision Rolled Strip products, as well as grain-oriented electrical steel. The major end markets for our flat-rolled products are oil and gas, chemical process industry, electrical energy, automotive, food processing equipment and appliances, construction and mining, electronics, communication equipment and computers, and aerospace and defense. The business units in this segment include ATI Allegheny Ludlum and STAL, in which the Company has a 60% ownership interest. Segment results also include ATI’s 50% interest in Uniti, which is accounted for under the equity method. Sales to Uniti, which are included in ATI’s consolidated statements of income, were $95.9 million in 2013, $77.1 million in 2012, and $149.1 million in 2011. ATI’s share of Uniti’s (loss)/income was $(7.1) million in 2013, $4.9 million in 2012, and $7.4 million in 2011, which is included in the Flat-Rolled Products segment’s operating profit, and within cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income. The remaining 50% interest in Uniti is held by VSMPO, a Russian producer of titanium, aluminum, and specialty steel products.
Intersegment sales are generally recorded at full cost or market. Common services are allocated on the basis of estimated utilization.

Business segment operating profit excludes costs for restructuring charges (see Note 15), retirement benefit income or expense, corporate expenses, interest expenses, debt extinguishment costs, and costs associated with closed operations. These costs are excluded for segment reporting to provide a profit measure based on what management considers to be controllable costs at the segment level. Retirement benefit expense includes both defined benefit pension expense and other postretirement benefit expenses. 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.
Business segment operating profit for 2013 includes a $55.5 million charge for inventory valuation adjustments, including a $35.0 million LIFO-related net realizable value charge in the High Performance Metals segment and a $20.5 million charge related to the market-based valuation of industrial titanium products in the Flat-Rolled Products segment.
Closed company and other expenses, which were $14.2 million in 2013, $18.5 million in 2012 and $9.9 million in 2011, includes charges incurred in connection with closed operations, pre-tax gains and losses on the sale of surplus real estate, non-strategic investments, and other assets, and other non-operating income or expense.
