Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Business Segments Business Segments
The Company operates under two business segments: High Performance Materials & Components (HPMC) and Advanced Alloys & Solutions (AA&S).
HPMC is comprised of the Specialty Materials and Forged Products businesses, as well as the ATI Europe distribution operations. Approximately 75% of its revenue is derived from the aerospace & defense markets including over 40% of its revenue from products for commercial jet engines. Other major HPMC end markets include medical and energy. HPMC produces a wide range of high performance materials, components, and advanced metallic powder alloys. These are made from nickel-based alloys and superalloys, titanium and titanium-based alloys, and a variety of other specialty materials. Capabilities range from cast/wrought and powder alloy development to final production of highly engineered finished components, including those used for next-generation jet engine forgings and 3D-printed aerospace products.
The AA&S segment includes the Specialty Alloys & Components business, including the primary titanium operations in Richland, WA, the Specialty Rolled Products business, the 60%-owned STAL PRS joint venture, and the Uniti and A&T Stainless 50%-owned joint ventures that are reported in AA&S segment results under the equity method of accounting. See Note 7 for further information on the Company’s joint ventures. AA&S is focused on delivering high-value flat products primarily to the energy, aerospace, and defense end-markets, which comprise approximately 45% of its revenue. Other important end markets for AA&S include automotive and electronics. AA&S produces nickel-based alloys, titanium and titanium-based alloys, and specialty alloys in a variety of forms including plate, sheet, and strip products. On December 2, 2020, the Company announced a strategic repositioning of its SRP business, which includes exiting lower-margin standard stainless sheet products, streamlining the production footprint of the AA&S segment and making certain capital investments to increase its focus on higher-margin products and its aerospace & defense end markets. See Note 19 for further discussion of this strategic realignment and its associated long-lived asset impairments, restructuring and other charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020.
The measure of segment EBITDA excludes income taxes, depreciation and amortization, corporate expenses, net interest expense, closed operations and other expenses, charges for goodwill and asset impairments, restructuring and other charges, debt extinguishment charges and non-operating gains or losses. Management believes segment EBITDA, 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.

*Years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 reflect the change in inventory accounting method, as described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. There were no adjustments to 2020 amounts as a result of this change.
Corporate expenses are primarily classified as selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations, and consist of salaries and benefits, incentive compensation, facility leases and other costs of ATI’s corporate functions.
Closed operations and other expenses are primarily presented in selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. These items included costs at closed facilities, including legal matters, environmental, real estate and other facility costs, and changes in foreign currency remeasurement impacts primarily related to ATI’s European Treasury Center operation. Closed operations and other expenses were lower in 2021 and 2020 compared to 2019, reflecting lower legal and retirement benefit expense of closed operations, foreign currency impacts in 2021 and a $4.3 million gain from settlements of contract indemnity obligations in 2020.
The $13.8 million net gain on asset sales in 2021 consists of a gain on the sale of the Company’s Flowform Products business. The $2.5 million net gain on asset sales in 2020 consists of a gain on the sale of certain oil and gas rights (see Note 9). The $84.6 million net gain on asset sales in 2019 consists of a $91.7 million gain on the sale of certain oil and gas rights (see Note 9) and a $6.2 million gain on the sale of the Company’s Cast Products business, partially offset by a $13.3 million loss on the
sale of two non-core forging facilities, located in Portland, IN and Lebanon, KY. See Note 6 for further explanation regarding the sale of business transactions.
