Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Business Segments | Business Segments The Company operates in two business segments: High Performance Materials & Components and Flat Rolled Products. The measure of segment operating profit, which is used to analyze the performance and results of the 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. Management believes segment operating profit, as defined, provides an appropriate measure of controllable operating results at the business segment level. Following is certain financial information with respect to the Company’s business segments for the periods indicated (in millions):

Retirement benefit expense represents defined benefit 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 retirement plans are included in segment operating profit or corporate expenses, as applicable. Interest expense, net of interest income, in the first quarter 2015 was $26.7 million, compared to net interest expense of $29.1 million in the first quarter 2014. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower debt levels. Interest expense benefited from the capitalization of interest costs of $0.6 million in the first quarter 2015 compared to $2.3 million in the first quarter 2014. The decrease in capitalized interest primarily related to the Flat Rolled Products segment Hot-Rolling and Processing Facility.
