DALLAS, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ATI Inc. (NYSE: ATI) reported second quarter 2026 results, with sales of $1.26 billion and net income attributable to ATI of $151 million, or $1.09 per share.

Second quarter 2026 GAAP earnings per share were $1.09 and adjusted earnings per share(a) were $1.23. Net income attributable to ATI was $151.0 million and ATI adjusted EBITDA(a) was $284.4 million, or 22.6% of sales. Second quarter 2026 GAAP and non-GAAP results include a gain of $9.9 million, or $0.06 per share, from the sale of a previously closed manufacturing facility in the AA&S segment.
Second quarter 2026 adjusted results exclude pre-tax charges of $23.6 million for special items consisting of $10.1 million of start-up and transaction-related costs, $7.0 million of transformation-related costs, $3.9 million of restructuring-related costs, and $2.6 million of losses on the sale of customer accounts receivable. The after-tax impact of these special items was a charge of $18.7 million, or $0.14 per share.
First quarter 2026 adjusted results exclude pre-tax charges of $26.4 million for special items consisting of $11.1 million of start-up and transaction costs, $8.1 million of restructuring-related costs, $4.8 million of transformation costs, and $2.4 million of losses on the sale of customer accounts receivable.

"We delivered another solid quarter, with results above the high end of our guidance and adjusted EBITDA up 37% year-over-year on 11% sales growth. This is a clear example of the earnings potential we've been building across both of our segments. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 440 basis points to 22.6%, and our backlog reached another record at $4.4 billion, up 18% year-over-year, as demand for our unique aerospace and defense materials continues to outpace available supply," said Kimberly A. Fields, Board Chair, President and CEO. "This quarter reflects the continued evolution of ATI's portfolio toward a more differentiated, higher-margin business, anchored by long-term customer agreements and concentrated exposure in aerospace, defense and specialty energy.
"Momentum is carrying into the second half, and we are again raising our full-year guidance for adjusted earnings, EBITDA and free cash flow," Fields added. "Our outlook is supported by contracted pricing improvements, a richer product mix and increasing production volumes as targeted investments and operational execution expand our available capacity."

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"). This report includes financial performance measures that are not defined by GAAP, including Adjusted net income attributable to ATI, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, Adjusted free cash flow and Managed working capital. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assist in assessing operating performance on a consistent basis across multiple reporting periods by removing the impact of special items, which can vary from period to period, that management does not believe are directly reflective of the Company's core operations. The Company defines special items as significant non-recurring or non-operational charges or credits, restructuring and other charges/credits, gains or losses from the sale of accounts receivable, strike related costs, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, debt extinguishment charges, pension remeasurement gains and losses, other postretirement/pension curtailment and settlement gains and losses, and gains or losses on sales of businesses.
Adjusted net income attributable to ATI and related Adjusted EPS are calculated by adjusting net income attributable to ATI for the tax-effected impact of special items. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income, excluding net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and special items. Our measure of segment EBITDA, which we use to analyze the performance and results of our business segments, excludes net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, special charges, corporate expenses, closed operations and other income (expense). Our methods of calculating Adjusted free cash flow and Managed working capital are discussed in greater detail below under the headings "Adjusted Free Cash Flow" and "Managed Working Capital," respectively.
Management believes presenting these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it (1) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial and operating performance by excluding certain items management believes do not directly impact the Company's core operations, (2) permits investors to view performance using the same metrics that management uses to forecast, evaluate performance, and make operating and strategic decisions, and (3) provides additional information on a period-to-period consistent basis using measures commonly used to analyze companies' operating performance. Management believes that consideration of these non-GAAP financial measures, together with our GAAP financial measures and the corresponding reconciliations, provides investors with a better understanding of the Company's performance and trends that would be absent such disclosures.
Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not superior to or as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following tables provide the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release:
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Management uses a non-GAAP measure, Adjusted free cash flow, to assess the cash flow generation of the Company's operations. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as the total cash provided by (used in) operating activities and investing activities as presented on the consolidated statements of cash flows, adjusted to exclude cash contributions to the Company's U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan.
Management utilizes this measure to assess the cash flow generation performance of its business as it excludes cash contributions to the Company's U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan that are periodic rather than recurring. The impact of cash generated from the sale of assets and non-core businesses is included in the measure as the proceeds of such transactions are considered by Management in setting capital budgets to fund capital expenditures. Management believes this measure provides investors with additional meaningful insights as to the Company's ability to generate cash in excess of operational and investing needs. Adjusted free cash flow is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest, tax, or other contractually required payments. Further, adjusted free cash flow should be viewed in addition to, and not superior to or as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Managed Working Capital
As part of managing the performance of our business, we focus on Managed working capital, a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as gross accounts receivable, short-term contract assets and gross inventories, excluding the effects of reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable and inventory valuation reserves, less accounts payable and short-term contract liabilities. We assess Managed working capital performance as a percentage of the prior three months' annualized sales. Managed working capital is not intended to replace working capital or other GAAP financial measures or to be used as a measure of liquidity.
Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure focuses on the assets and liabilities most closely attributable to our core operations, allowing Management to quantify and evaluate the asset intensity of our business. Further, Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with additional insights into the Company's effectiveness in balancing the need to maintain appropriate asset levels to support sales growth and operations while deploying our cash effectively.
