Financial Analyst

ATI's Q2 2024 results show strong performance, particularly in the Aerospace & Defense sector. Key highlights include:

• Sales of $1.1 billion, up 5% from Q1 2024
• Net income of $81.9 million, or $0.58 per share, up 26% from Q1 2024
• Adjusted EBITDA of $182.6 million, or 16.7% of sales

The company's focus on aerospace & defense is paying off, now representing 62% of Q2 sales. This strategic alignment positions ATI well for future growth, especially with $4 billion in new sales commitments from the Farnborough International Airshow. However, investors should note the 9% year-over-year decrease in net income, which warrants monitoring in future quarters.

Aerospace Industry Expert

ATI's Q2 results underscore the robust recovery in the aerospace sector. The 11% sequential growth in aerospace & defense sales is particularly noteworthy, reflecting increased demand for commercial aircraft components. ATI's presence on every major commercial platform flying today provides a strong competitive advantage and diversified revenue stream.

The $4 billion in new sales commitments, predominantly for nickel alloys, signals continued strength in the aerospace market. This backlog, coupled with ATI's long-term agreements, provides visibility into future revenue streams and supports the company's ambitious 2027 targets of $5 billion in revenue and $1 billion in adjusted EBITDA.

Manufacturing Operations Analyst

ATI's operational performance in Q2 2024 shows significant improvements in efficiency and profitability. The 100 basis point increase in consolidated adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales year-over-year indicates better operational leverage and cost management. This is particularly evident in the Advanced Alloys & Solutions segment, where EBITDA margin improved to 16.4% from 14.0% in Q1.

The company's focus on working capital management is yielding results, with managed working capital as a percent of sales decreasing to 35.5%. This improvement, combined with strong cash flow from operations of $101 million in Q2, demonstrates ATI's ability to translate operational efficiencies into financial performance. However, investors should monitor capital expenditures, which remained high at $60 million for the quarter.

Adjusted earnings per share* for Q2 2024 was $0.60, and ATI adjusted EBITDA* was $182.6 million, or 16.7% of sales.  Q2 2024 adjusted results exclude pre-tax charges of $5.4 million consisting of $5.5 million of inventory write-downs related to our ongoing European restructuring and $1.8 million of start-up related costs. These pre-tax charges were partially offset by credits of $1.9 million due to lower severance reserves primarily for our ongoing European restructuring.  Q1 2024 adjusted results exclude pre-tax charges of $3.1 million, primarily consisting of start-up related costs. Q2 2023 adjusted results exclude pre-tax charges of $4.5 million for start-up related costs, $2.8 million primarily for asset write-offs for a facility closure, $2.7 million of severance-related restructuring charges, and $0.6 million related to the loss on the sale of our Northbrook, IL operation.

"ATI's strong 2024 performance continued in the second quarter," said Kimberly A. Fields, President and CEO. "Growth in aerospace & defense accelerated in the second quarter, with sales increasing sequentially by 11%. This is due in part to the diversification in our jet engine and airframe customer bases. ATI is on every major commercial platform flying today," she said.  

"With a strong focus on execution, we delivered on second quarter expectations for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share," said Fields. "Our efforts to improve working capital intensity yielded significant improvements in year-over-year operating cash flow performance," she said. "Overall, consolidated adjusted EBITDA, as a percentage of sales, was up 100 basis points over the prior year, reflecting improving operational performance and leverage from higher production volumes."

Operating Results by Segment

High Performance Materials & Components (HPMC)
($ millions)	Q2 2024		Q1 2024		Q2 2023
Sales	$562.0		$529.9		$527.1
Segment EBITDA	$113.8		$97.6		$109.7
% of Sales	20.2 %		18.4 %		20.8 %

• HPMC's second quarter 2024 sales increased $32 million, or 6%, compared to the first quarter 2024, primarily due to an 8% increase in aerospace & defense sales. Overall aerospace & defense sales were 85% of total HPMC sales in the second quarter 2024. Second quarter 2024 sales improved 7% compared to second quarter 2023, with total aerospace & defense related sales increasing 9% compared to the prior year period.
• HPMC segment EBITDA was $113.8 million, or 20.2% of sales. Increased volumes on higher-margin latest generation commercial aerospace platforms drove sequential incremental margins.
• Second quarter 2024 results included a $3.5 million benefit from the recognition of previously deferred employee retention credits, which were mostly offset by higher incentive compensation costs.

Advanced Alloys & Solutions (AA&S)
($ millions)	Q2 2024		Q1 2024		Q2 2023
Sales	$533.3		$513.0		$518.9
Segment EBITDA	$87.5		$71.8		$74.1
% of Sales	16.4 %		14.0 %		14.3 %

• AA&S second quarter 2024 sales increased $20 million, or 4%, compared to the first quarter 2024, a result of increased aerospace & defense and specialty energy sales. These increases were partially offset by lower conventional energy sales. Overall aerospace & defense sales were 39% of total AA&S sales in the second quarter 2024. Second quarter 2024 sales increased 3% compared to the second quarter 2023. Higher sales to aerospace & defense, specialty energy and medical end markets were partially offset by lower conventional energy sales.
• AA&S segment EBITDA was $87.5 million, or 16.4% of sales. Sequential margin improvement was primarily due to improved sales mix from increased deliveries of titanium.
• Second quarter 2024 results included a $5.1 million benefit from the recognition of previously deferred employee retention credits, which were mostly offset by higher incentive compensation costs.

Corporate Items and Cash

• Restructuring and other charges:
  • Second quarter 2024: $5.4 million includes pre-tax charges of $5.5 million of inventory write-downs related to our ongoing European restructuring and $1.8 million of start-up related costs. These pre-tax charges were partially offset by credits of $1.9 million due to lower severance reserves primarily for our ongoing European restructuring.
  • First quarter 2024: $3.1 million for start-up and restructuring related costs.
  • Second quarter 2023: $9.2 million includes pre-tax charges of $4.5 million for start-up related costs, $2.8 million primarily for asset write-offs for a facility closure, of which $0.8 million was accelerated depreciation on fixed assets, and $2.7 million of severance-related restructuring charges.
• Corporate expenses in the second quarter 2024 were $19.4 million, compared to $17.1 million in the first quarter 2024, and $17.7 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in second quarter 2024 was due to higher incentive compensation costs compared to prior periods.
• Closed operations and other income/expense was income of $0.7 million in the second quarter 2024, compared to expense of $1.3 million in the first quarter 2024, and expense of $1.9 million in the prior year quarter. The second quarter 2024 included a $2.3 million gain from the sale of our previously idled Houston, PA facility.
• Second quarter 2024 results include a $25.3 million income tax provision, or an effective tax rate of 22.8%. First quarter 2024 results include a $16.9 million income tax provision, or an effective tax rate of 19.8%. Second quarter 2023 results include a tax provision of $3.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 3.8%. The effective tax rate for the second quarter 2024 increased compared to the first quarter 2024 primarily due to lower discrete tax benefits. The Company's effective tax rate for second quarter 2023 was lower than the second quarter 2024 due to the net valuation allowance position in the U.S.
• For the second quarter of 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $101 million, and cash provided by operating activities was $2 million on a year-to-date basis. Second quarter 2024 managed working capital as a percent of sales was 35.5%, which was down slightly from 35.9% in the first quarter 2024. Capital expenditures for the second quarter 2024 were $60 million.
• Cash on hand at June 30, 2024 was $426 million, and available additional liquidity under the asset-based lending (ABL) credit facility was approximately $556 million. As of June 30, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings on the ABL credit facility. ATI has no significant debt maturities until the second quarter 2025.

Outlook

"Our execution and ability to capitalize on market opportunities allows us to drive increased margins and generate strong operating cash flow," said Fields. "ATI's capabilities, long-term agreements and backlog positions us to reaffirm our full year outlook. Our clear strategy of leading in aerospace & defense and 'aero-like' markets puts us on track us to meet our 2024 guidance. We continue to be confident in our ability to deliver our 2025 and 2027 financial targets. Our recently announced new sales commitments of $4 billion from the Farnborough International Airshow, which are predominantly for nickel alloys, include $550 million of revenue for 2027. This further demonstrates that we remain on track to exceed both $5 billion in revenue and $1 billion in adjusted EBITDA by 2027."

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:

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.  The June 30, 2024 amounts include management working capital balances that are classified as held for sale.
