Business Segments

The Company operates in two business segments: High Performance Materials & Components (HPMC) and Flat Rolled Products (FRP). The HPMC 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 materials, in long product forms such as ingot, billet, bar, rod, wire, shapes and rectangles, and seamless tubes, plus precision forgings and castings, components and machined parts. These products are designed for the high performance requirements of such major end markets as aerospace & defense, oil & gas, electrical energy, and medical.

The FRP 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. The major end markets for our flat-rolled products are oil & gas, 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 Flat Rolled Products 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 operations, were $20.3 million in 2016, $55.4 million in 2015, and $75.3 million in 2014. ATI’s share of Uniti’s income/(loss) was $0.5 million in 2016, $(0.1) million in 2015, and $(8.9) million in 2014, which is included in the Flat Rolled Products segment’s operating results, and within cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. The remaining 50% interest in Uniti is held by VSMPO, a Russian producer of titanium, aluminum, and specialty steel products.

The measure of segment operating profit excludes all effects of LIFO inventory accounting and any related changes in net realizable value inventory reserves which offset the Company’s aggregate net debit LIFO valuation balance, income taxes, corporate expenses, net interest expense, closed operations expenses, charges for goodwill impairment (see Note 6) and restructuring charges and other costs (see Note 17). 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.

Intersegment sales are generally recorded at full cost or market. Common services are allocated on the basis of estimated utilization.

In the third quarter of 2016, the Company announced the indefinite idling of the Rowley, UT titanium sponge facility and the consolidation of certain titanium manufacturing operations. See Note 17 for further explanation. Results for the HPMC segment exclude the Rowley operations beginning with the third quarter of 2016, with such operations being reported in closed operations and other expenses. In October 2016, the Company announced the permanent closure of the Midland, PA commodity stainless steel melt and sheet finishing facility and the Bagdad, PA GOES finishing facility. These facilities were indefinitely idled earlier in 2016, and management concluded that the facilities cannot be operated at an acceptable rate of return. See Note 17 for further explanation. Results for the FRP segment exclude the ongoing holding costs of these facilities beginning in October 2016, with such costs being reported in closed operations and other expenses.

Restructuring and other charges for the year ended December 31, 2016 are comprised of $471.3 million in long-lived impairment charges, $31.7 million of facility shutdown and idling costs, $24.2 million of employee benefit costs and $11.3 million of inventory valuation charges for titanium sponge that are classified in cost of sales (see Note 4 for additional information). The shutdown and idling costs primarily relate to the indefinite idling of the Company’s Rowley, UT titanium sponge facility, and the permanent closures of the Midland, PA commodity stainless steel melt and sheet finishing facility and the Bagdad, PA GOES finishing facility. The employee benefit costs largely relate to FRP severance charges for salaried workforce reductions and costs associated with the previously mentioned facility idlings and closures. Restructuring and other charges for the year ended December 31, 2015 include $54.5 million in long-lived asset impairment charges, $25.4 million of inventory valuation charges for non-PQ titanium sponge (see Note 4 for additional information) and charges for severance and facility idling costs. See Note 17 for additional information on restructuring charges.

Closed operations and other expenses, which were $34.6 million in 2016, $22.1 million in 2015 and $28.3 million in 2014, includes charges incurred in connection with closed operations and other non-operating income or expense. These items are primarily presented in selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. In 2016, these items included $23.8 million for costs at closed facilities, including legal matters and real estate and other facility costs, primarily for Rowley following the announced indefinite idling, $5.8 million for closed operations environmental costs, and $5.0 million for retirement benefit expense. In 2015, the Company recorded $22.1 million in other charges primarily related to closed operations, including $4.5 million for environmental costs, $2.3 million for retirement benefit expense, and $15.3 million for other expenses including legal matters and real estate costs at closed operations. In 2014, the Company recorded $28.3 million in other charges primarily related to closed operations, including $7.1 million for retirement benefit expense, $8.0 million for environmental costs, $3.8 million for insurance obligations, and $9.4 million for other expenses including real estate costs.
