ATI Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Results

GAAP earnings per share for the fourth quarter 2025 were $0.69 and adjusted earnings per share^(a) were $0.93. Net income attributable to ATI was $96.6 million and ATI adjusted EBITDA^(a) was $231.9 million, or 19.7% of sales. Fourth quarter 2025 adjusted results exclude pre-tax charges of $22.9 million for special items consisting of $12.3 million of transformation-related costs, $8.5 million of start-up and transaction-related costs, and $2.1 million of losses on the sale of customer accounts receivable. Fourth quarter 2025 results also exclude an $18.6 million pre-tax pension remeasurement loss and a loss of $0.3 million associated with a prior business disposition. The after-tax impact of these special items was a charge of $33.2 million, or $0.24 per share. 

Third quarter 2025 adjusted results exclude pre-tax charges of $12.9 million for special items and a $1.1 million gain on the sale of a non-core business previously reported in the HPMC segment. The after-tax impact of these special items was a charge of $9.4 million, or $0.07 per share.  Fourth quarter 2024 adjusted results exclude a $52.9 million pre-tax gain on the sale of certain precision rolled strip operations and a $14.1 million pre-tax pension remeasurement loss. Fourth quarter 2024 adjusted results also exclude pre-tax charges of $9.3 million, consisting of $5.3 million of severance costs, primarily related to cost reduction actions in our domestic operations, and $4.0 million of other charges, primarily for start-up and transaction related costs. The after-tax impact of these special items is a benefit of $22.5 million, or $0.15 per share. The Non-GAAP tables included within this release provide the reconciliations of the GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures and additional details on the special items noted above.

"As we projected, we finished 2025 with strong momentum, exceeding the upper range of our fourth quarter and full-year earnings and cash flow guidance. Demand for ATI's differentiated products and solutions continues to be robust as we support our customers' production ramps and critical missions. I am more confident than ever in ATI's position as an integral part of our customers' supply chains," said Kimberly A. Fields, President and CEO.

"Our full-year 2026 guidance reflects this sustained demand in our core markets. Combined with our strong operational execution, ATI is positioned to drive higher earnings, margins, and cash flows in the year ahead and over the long term.

"We also delivered strong cash flow results driven by continued focus on disciplined working capital management," Fields said. "Full-year operating cash flow of $614 million increased more than 50% year-over-year. This enabled us to repurchase $470 million in shares and to fund growth, all while further strengthening our balance sheet. During the fourth quarter, we repaid $150 million of outstanding debt, reducing annualized interest expense by approximately $10 million. ATI's strong balance sheet and cash flow generation provide flexibility to support growth and return capital to shareholders."

Operating Results by Segment

• HPMC's fourth quarter 2025 sales increased $43 million, or 7%, compared to third quarter 2025, primarily due to higher sales of commercial jet engine and airframe products. In addition, specialty energy sales increased in fourth quarter 2025 on higher demand compared to third quarter 2025. Overall aerospace & defense sales represented 91% of total HPMC sales in fourth quarter 2025, down slightly from 92% in third quarter 2025.
• Fourth quarter 2025 sales improved 2% compared to fourth quarter 2024. Aerospace & defense sales increased 4% on a year-over-year basis on strong demand for commercial jet engine and defense products. These increases were partially offset by lower sales of commercial airframe and medical products. Overall aerospace & defense sales represented 91% of total HPMC sales in fourth quarter 2025, an increase from 89% in fourth quarter 2024.
• HPMC fourth quarter 2025 segment EBITDA^(a) was $155.0 million, or 24.0% of sales. Sequentially, margins were relatively unchanged from third quarter 2025.
• HPMC fourth quarter 2024 segment EBITDA^(a) was $126.8 million, or 20.0% of sales. Fourth quarter 2024 margin was impacted by a charge of approximately $6.3 million due to a commercial negotiation with a customer, partially offset by a benefit of $2.6 million for the recognition of previously deferred employee retention credits.

• AA&S fourth quarter 2025 sales increased $9 million, or 2%, compared to third quarter 2025. Higher sales to the specialty energy market were partially offset by lower aerospace & defense sales. Overall aerospace & defense sales were 40% of total AA&S sales in fourth quarter 2025.
• Fourth quarter 2025 sales decreased $7 million, or 1%, compared to the prior year quarter. Lower sales for medical, defense, and industrial products were partially offset by increased sales of commercial airframe and specialty energy products.
• AA&S fourth quarter 2025 segment EBITDA^(a) was $98.5 million, or 18.5% of sales. The sequential increase in margins was primarily due to favorable manufacturing costs and pricing of exotic alloys.
• AA&S fourth quarter 2024 segment EBITDA^(a) was $88.0 million, or 16.3% of sales. The fourth quarter 2024 margin benefited from a $10.4 million credit related to the Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit that was the result of the issuance of final regulations, which was partially offset by charges of approximately $5.5 million, primarily resulting from a commercial negotiation with a customer.

• Corporate expenses in the fourth quarter 2025 were $19.4 million, compared to $15.6 million in third quarter 2025, and $14.1 million in the prior year quarter.

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"). 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 useful to investors on a period-to-period consistent basis that are 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 additional 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 utilizes 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 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 contemplated 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. The December 29, 2024 amounts include management working capital balances that were classified as held for sale.
