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 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 and other expenses, restructuring and asset impairment charges, and non-operating gains and losses. 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):

Closed operations and other expenses were lower in the first quarter of 2019, compared to the prior year period, primarily from lower carry costs and environmental costs for closed facilities in 2019, along with foreign currency remeasurement gains in 2019 compared to losses in 2018 from the Company’s European Treasury Center. The increase in Corporate expenses in the first quarter 2019, compared to the prior year period, includes higher expense for company-owned life insurance policies and higher incentive compensation costs.
