Adjusted earnings per share* for Q1 2024 was $0.48, and ATI adjusted EBITDA* was $151 million, or 14.5% of sales. Q1 2024 adjusted results exclude pre-tax charges of $3.1 million, primarily consisting of start-up costs. Q4 2023 adjusted results exclude pre-tax charges of $88.3 million, primarily consisting of pension related settlement and remeasurement losses, charges associated with the transformation of our European operations and start-up costs. The after-tax impact, including the deferred tax asset valuation allowance release, of these special items for Q4 2023 is a benefit of $52.7 million, or $0.35 per share. Q1 2023 adjusted results exclude $1.2 million for start-up costs.
"ATI delivered a strong start to 2024," said Robert S. Wetherbee, Board Chair and CEO. "Year-over-year growth in aerospace and defense sales drove results across ATI, with first quarter aerospace and defense sales up 7% over the prior year. Additionally, strong demand continues for our advanced specialty alloys that deliver 'aero-like' margins," he said.
"We exceeded expectations for adjusted earnings per share as the team delivered excellent performance across ATI," said Wetherbee. "We moved past the outages and weather impacts that shaped our guidance for the first quarter. Our focus on improving working capital intensity delivered significant improvements in year-over-year free cash flow performance," he said. "Our strong balance sheet enabled us to fully deploy $150 million of authorized share repurchases in the first quarter of 2024."

- HPMC's first quarter 2024 sales decreased $53 million, or 9%, compared to the fourth quarter 2023, primarily a result of melt-related challenges in the fourth quarter that impacted first quarter sales. Overall aerospace and defense sales were 84% of total HPMC sales in the first quarter 2024. First quarter 2024 sales improved 13% compared to the first quarter 2023, with total aerospace and defense related sales increasing 12% compared to the prior year period.
- HPMC segment EBITDA was $97.6 million, or 18.4% of sales. Decreased volumes on higher-margin latest generation commercial aerospace platforms contributed to the lower margins sequentially.

- AA&S first quarter 2024 sales increased $32 million, or 7%, compared to the fourth quarter 2023, a result of increased conventional energy as well as commercial aerospace sales. Overall aerospace and defense sales were 34% of total AA&S sales in the first quarter 2024. First quarter 2024 sales decreased 10% compared to the first quarter 2023. Lower sales are primarily due to the prolonged recovery in general industrial end markets.
- AA&S segment EBITDA was $71.8 million, or 14.0% of sales. Increased deliveries of nickel-based alloys and exotic alloys drove sequential margin improvement.
Corporate Items and Cash
- Restructuring and other charges:
- First quarter 2024: $3.1 million includes start-up costs and restructuring related costs.
- Fourth quarter 2023: $16.8 million includes pre-tax charges of $13.8 million of costs associated with the transformation of our European organization and $3.0 million for start-up costs.
- First quarter 2023: $1.2 million of start-up costs.
- Corporate expenses in the first quarter 2024 were $17.1 million, compared to $15.2 million in the fourth quarter 2023, and $16.9 million in the prior year quarter.
- Closed operations and other expense was $1.3 million in the first quarter 2024, compared to $6.5 million in the fourth quarter 2023, and $1.3 million in the prior year quarter. Higher costs in the fourth quarter 2023, compared to the first quarter 2024, were associated with an outstanding insurance claim involving our captive insurance company.
- First quarter 2024 results include a $16.9 million income tax provision, or an effective tax rate of 19.8%. The effective tax rate for the first quarter 2024 included $3.0 million of discrete tax benefits, primarily for share-based compensation. At December 31, 2023, ATI determined that a substantial portion of its income tax valuation allowances were no longer required due to improved profitability and exiting the three year cumulative loss position for U.S. federal and state jurisdictions.
- For the first quarter of 2024, cash used in operating activities was $99 million, primarily related to higher accounts receivable in part due to the timing of first quarter 2024 sales. Continued efforts to focus on operational improvements are expected to positively impact the inventory intensity of our business and alleviate the required investment of managed working capital in our growing business. First quarter 2024 managed working capital as a percent of sales was 35.9% due in part to a seasonal and strategic inventory build and timing of shipments in the quarter. Capital expenditures for the first quarter 2024 were $66 million.
- Cash on hand at March 31, 2024 was $394 million, and available additional liquidity under the asset-based lending (ABL) credit facility was approximately $557 million. As of March 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings on the ABL credit facility. ATI has no significant debt maturities until 2025.
- During the first quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased stock using all of the $150 million repurchase plan approved by our Board of Directors in November 2023.
Outlook
"ATI's outlook continues to be strong and is supported by a robust backlog of commercial aircraft orders," said Wetherbee. "ATI is well positioned to continue its organic growth and margin expansion. Continued demand in our core markets and increasing production capacity provide a clear path for achieving our robust 2024 and 2025 financial targets, as well as exceeding both $5 billion in revenue and $1 billion in adjusted EBITDA by 2027. Our best-in-class capabilities, materials science expertise, and extraordinary team are focused on delivering for our customers, meeting their strengthening demand."

ATI Inc.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited, dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, used in managing the business, may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. For example, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures utilized by management to analyze the performance and result of our business. Further, we believe these measures are useful to investors and industry analysts because these measures are commonly used to analyze companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and capital expenditures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release:

(a) First fiscal quarter 2024 includes pre-tax charges totaling $3.1 million, which include $2.9 million for start up costs and $0.2 million for severance-related restructuring charges. Fourth fiscal quarter 2023 includes pre-tax charges totaling $19.8 million, which include $3.0 million of start up costs, $5.5 million of severance-related restructuring charges primarily for the restructuring of our European operations, and $11.3 million for asset write-offs associated with the restructuring of our European operations, of which $3.0 million was accelerated depreciation on fixed assets and is included in depreciation and amortization in the above table. First fiscal quarter 2023 includes a $1.2 million pre-tax charge for start up costs.
|
|
(b) Fourth fiscal quarter 2023 results include a $26.8 million loss for actuarial gains and losses arising from the remeasurement of the Company's pension assets and obligations.
|
|
(c) On October 17, 2023, we completed a voluntary cash out for term vested employees and annuity buyouts related to approximately 8,200 U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan participants. As a result, fourth fiscal quarter 2023 results include a $41.7 million pretax settlement loss.
|
|
(d) Fourth fiscal quarter 2023 results include a $140.3 million discrete tax benefit primarily related to the reversal of a portion of deferred tax valuation allowances due to exiting the three-year cumulative loss condition for U.S. Federal and state jurisdictions at year-end 2023, partially offset by a $2.9 million charge for withholding taxes associated with the restructuring of our European operations.

Managed Working Capital
As part of managing the performance of our business, we focus on Managed Working Capital, which we define as gross accounts receivable, short-term contract assets and gross inventories, less accounts payable and short-term contract liabilities. We exclude the effects of inventory valuation reserves and reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable when computing this non-GAAP performance measure, which is not intended to replace Working Capital or to be used as a measure of liquidity. We assess Managed Working Capital performance as a percentage of the prior three months annualized sales to evaluate the asset intensity of our business.
