"ATI's continued strong performance across healthy markets is confirmation that we have the right strategy and are executing well," said Robert S. Wetherbee, Board Chair, President and CEO. "Our transformation is optimizing the differentiated capabilities our customers value. We're well-positioned to capture growth in our key markets.
"Aerospace and defense sales increased within both segments. We are maximizing the opportunities as the aerospace ramp continues to accelerate." said Wetherbee. "We are laser focused on increasing the efficiency of our operations to meet the historic demand for our materials."
Operating Results by Segment
High Performance Materials & Components (HPMC) | |||||
($ millions) | Q1 2023 | Q4 2022 | Q1 2022 | ||
Sales | $471.1 | $445.9 | $341.6 | ||
Segment EBITDA | $80.1 | $81.8 | $68.1 | ||
% of Sales | 17.0 % | 18.3 % | 19.9 % | ||
- HPMC's first quarter 2023 sales increased $25 million, or 6%, compared to the fourth quarter 2022, primarily driven by growth in the commercial airframe market. Overall aerospace and defense sales were 84% of total HPMC sales in the first quarter 2023. First quarter 2023 sales improved 38% compared to the first quarter 2022, with total aerospace and defense related sales increasing over 50% compared to the prior year period.
- HPMC segment EBITDA was $80.1 million, or 17.0% of sales. Strength in the HPMC segment continues to be driven by content on next-generation commercial aerospace platforms.
- Results in the first quarter 2022 included $21.9 million of benefits from the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection program and employee retention credits, partially offset by labor and other costs related to ramp readiness.
Advanced Alloys & Solutions (AA&S) | |||||
($ millions) | Q1 2023 | Q4 2022 | Q1 2022 | ||
Sales | $567.0 | $564.5 | $492.5 | ||
Segment EBITDA | $72.7 | $72.1 | $75.3 | ||
% of Sales | 12.8 % | 12.8 % | 15.3 % | ||
- AA&S first quarter 2023 sales and EBITDA were comparable to the fourth quarter 2022. First quarter sales to the aerospace and defense market as well as the energy market were both 6% higher compared to the fourth quarter 2022. These favorable trends were offset by recessionary softness in general industrial end markets and lingering COVID impacts associated with our Asian precision rolled strip business. Sales of commercial aerospace products increased by over 70% compared to the prior year period.
- AA&S segment EBITDA was $72.7 million, or 12.8% of sales. A stronger mix of nickel-alloy and titanium mill products is largely offset by higher retirement benefit costs.
- Results in the first quarter 2022 included $6.8 million of benefits from employee retention credits, partially offset by labor and other costs related to ramp readiness.
Corporate Items and Cash
- Corporate expenses in the first quarter 2023 were $17.3 million, compared to $14.5 million in the fourth quarter 2022, and $17.0 million in the prior year first quarter.
- Closed operations and other expense (income) was an expense of $2.8 million in the first quarter 2023, compared to a benefit of $0.7 million in the fourth quarter 2022, and expense of $1.4 million in the first quarter 2022. Higher costs in the first quarter 2023 were associated with environmental remediation at closed operations and retirement benefit expense.
- First quarter 2023 results include a $4.3 million income tax provision, compared to $4.2 million in the fourth quarter 2022, and $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2022. This expense is primarily related to our Asian precision rolled strip business. ATI maintains a valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets and does not expect to pay any significant U.S. federal or state income taxes in 2023 due to net operating loss carryforwards.
- For the first quarter of 2023, cash used in operating activities was $285.2 million, primarily related to higher accounts receivable and inventory balances due to increasing operating levels. First quarter 2023 managed working capital as a percent of sales was 37.6%. Capital expenditures for the first quarter 2023 were $60.4 million.
- Cash on hand at March 31, 2023 was $196 million, and available additional liquidity under the asset-based lending (ABL) credit facility was approximately $550 million. ATI has no significant debt maturities until 2025.
- During the first quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased stock using the remaining $10 million of the $150 million repurchase plan approved by our Board of Directors in 2022. In addition, on April 28, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $75 million of ATI stock.
- As previously communicated, the Company contributed $50 million to the U.S. defined benefit pension plan in the first quarter of 2023.
Outlook
"We're strategically investing—with disciplined capital allocation—to ensure we have the capabilities and capacity needed to meet unprecedented demand," said Wetherbee. "Our deliberate actions to transform give us resilience against potential headwinds, reducing the impact of volatility on our business. We expect ongoing strength in our key markets to drive profitable revenue growth," he said. "With another quarter of solid performance, we remain on track toward our long-term targets, delivering for our customers, our shareholders, and our team."

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, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors because these measures are commonly used to analyze companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and liquidity. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate operating performance. 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 controlling 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.
