      Provides Update on First Quarter 2019 Financial Results</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 11, 2019--Allegheny Technologies
      Incorporated (NYSE: ATI) today announced that its first quarter 2019
      earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.10 to $0.13.
      Sales for the first quarter are expected to be approximately $1.0
      billion.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Our first quarter financial results are below our expectations as we
      faced unexpected operational headwinds in both of our business
      segments,&#8221; said Robert S. Wetherbee, ATI President and Chief Executive
      Officer. In the High Performance Materials and Components (HPMC)
      segment, the company cited a greater than anticipated negative impact
      from the continued disruption in third party nickel powder billet
      supply, as well as higher operating costs due to the accelerated ramp of
      nickel powder production and the temporary margin compression caused by
      the rapid drop from prior months&#8217; cobalt prices.
    </p>
    <p>
      In ATI&#8217;s Flat Rolled Products (FRP) segment, the STAL joint venture
      experienced lower than anticipated demand in China, including continued
      softness in the high-end consumer electronics market, which drove an
      extended production downtime around the Lunar New Year holiday period.
      &#8220;This lower demand, coupled with increased operating costs for the newly
      expanded STAL joint venture production facilities, resulted in lower
      than expected profitability in the quarter,&#8221; said Mr. Wetherbee.
      Additionally, ATI&#8217;s U.S. Flat Rolled business faced weaker than expected
      demand for commodity stainless products due to customer inventory
      destocking actions that resulted in operational inefficiencies in its
      downstream finishing operations.
    </p>
    <p>
      For both segments, the company believes that these negative impacts will
      lessen in the second quarter. They are not expected to affect company
      performance in the second half of 2019.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;We continue to work proactively with our customers to jointly address
      current supply constraints related to the ongoing aerospace production
      ramp. In addition, we have full confidence in Boeing&#8217;s ability to
      address the current 737 MAX issues, and as previously announced, we
      expect to maintain our current production and delivery schedules related
      to that aircraft. Accordingly, we believe that our financial results
      will improve in the second quarter and throughout the balance of 2019
      and that progress toward our longer-term objectives remains on pace,&#8221;
      concluded Mr. Wetherbee.
    </p>
    <p>
      ATI will announce its first quarter financial results on Tuesday, April
      23 and conduct a teleconference at 8:30 am Eastern Time.
