DALLAS, Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ATI Inc. (NYSE: ATI) reported third quarter 2025 results, with sales of $1.13 billion and net income attributable to ATI of $110.0 million, or $0.78 per share.

Net income attributable to ATI was $110.0 million and ATI adjusted EBITDA* was $225.1 million, or 20.0% of sales. 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. 

Second quarter 2025 adjusted results exclude pre-tax charges of $7.4 million for special items. The after-tax impact of these special items was a charge of $5.7 million, or $0.04 per share.  Third quarter 2024 adjusted results exclude pre-tax charges of $4.3 million for special items.

"We exceeded our guidance in the third quarter, delivering strong adjusted earnings and operating cash flow performance. We continue to see positive demand signals in our core markets, as our customers ramp to achieve their growth targets. We are well-positioned to grow our defense-related business through an expanding mix of highly differentiated products critical to the U.S. and our allies," said Kimberly A. Fields, President and CEO. "Our outstanding performance, contractual positions and steady demand give us the confidence to raise the full-year ranges of our adjusted earnings and cash flow guidance.

"We continue to drive efficiencies in working capital with the goal of maximizing free cash flow," said Fields. "Our year-to-date operating cash flow of $299 million reflects an improvement of $273 million compared to last year. This performance enabled us to support our growth while continuing to return capital to shareholders. During the third quarter, we repurchased $150 million of our stock, bringing our total 2025 share repurchases to $470 million." said Fields.

Operating Results by Segment

• HPMC's third quarter 2025 sales decreased $5.9 million, or 1%, compared to second quarter 2025, primarily due to a forging contract renewal that changed from a materials purchase structure to a conversion services structure, reducing third quarter revenue by $10 million. Aerospace & defense sales represented 92% of total HPMC sales in both the third and second quarters of 2025.
• Third quarter 2025 sales improved 9% compared to third quarter 2024, including a negative impact of $9 million due to the first quarter 2025 disposition of certain non-core operations in Europe and $10 million due to the forging contract renewal noted above. Aerospace & defense sales increased 17% on a year-over-year basis due to strong demand for commercial jet engine and defense products, which was partially offset by lower sales to the medical and specialty energy markets.
• HPMC third quarter 2025 segment EBITDA* was $145.8 million, or 24.2% of sales. The sequential increase in margins was primarily due to favorable sales mix and pricing of specialty alloys. Also, second quarter 2025 margin benefited from the recognition of $4.4 million of previously deferred employee retention credits.
• HPMC third quarter 2024 segment EBITDA* was $123.2 million, or 22.3% of sales, which included a benefit of $2.9 million for the recognition of previously deferred employee retention credits.

• AA&S third quarter 2025 sales decreased $9 million, or 2%, compared to the second quarter 2025, primarily due to lower sales of industrial and specialty energy products. These decreases were partially offset by higher sales in the aerospace & defense sale markets due to increased demand for both commercial aerospace and defense products. Aerospace & defense sales were 46% of total AA&S sales in the third quarter of 2025.
• Third quarter 2025 sales increased $23.8 million, or 5%, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a 34% increase in aerospace & defense sales. This increase was partially offset by lower sales of industrial and specialty energy products.
• AA&S third quarter 2025 segment EBITDA* was $90.4 million, or 17.3% of sales. The sequential increase in margins was primarily due to improved sales mix and pricing of exotic alloys. Second quarter 2025 margin benefited from the recognition of $2.6 million of previously deferred employee retention credits.
• AA&S third quarter 2024 segment EBITDA* was $73.6 million, or 14.8% of sales, which included a benefit of $1.9 million for the recognition of previously deferred employee retention credits.

Corporate Items and Cash

  • Second quarter 2025: $7.4 million includes pre-tax charges consisting of $7.1 million of start-up and transaction-related costs and $1.6 million of losses on the sale of customer accounts receivable, partially offset by credits of $1.3 million due to a reduction in severance-related reserves for a previous restructuring in our AA&S segment.

• Third quarter 2025 includes a $1.1 million gain from the sale of a non-core business previously reported in the HPMC segment.
• Corporate expenses in the third quarter 2025 were $15.6 million, compared to $15.4 million in the second quarter 2025, and $13.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase compared to third quarter 2024 was primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs.
• Closed operations and other income/expense was income of $4.5 million in the third quarter 2025 compared to income of $2.4 million in the second quarter 2025, and income of $2.3 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:

Net Income Attributable to ATI 

 

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.
