DALLAS, July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ATI Inc. (NYSE:ATI) reported second quarter 2025 results, with sales of $1.14 billion and net income attributable to ATI of $100.7 million, or $0.70 per share.   

GAAP earnings per share for the second quarter 2025 were $0.70 and adjusted earnings per share* were $0.74. Net income attributable to ATI was $100.7 million and ATI adjusted EBITDA* was $207.7 million, or 18.2% of sales. 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. 

First quarter 2025 adjusted results excluded pre-tax charges of $5.6 million or $4.5 million on an after-tax basis.  First quarter 2025 also excluded a loss on the sale of certain non-core European businesses.  Second quarter 2024 adjusted results exclude pre-tax charges of $5.4 million or $4.1 million on an after-tax basis. 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.

"Our second quarter performance demonstrates strong, sustained demand in ATI's aerospace and defense end markets. Consistent operational performance drove double-digit growth in net income, EPS and adjusted EBITDA* on a year-over-year basis," said Kimberly A. Fields, President and CEO. "We see demand increasing from our A&D customers as the industry looks toward ramping production and deliveries through the remainder of 2025 and continuing into 2026. Recent long-term contract extensions with both major airframe companies further underscore ATI's unique position in this industry.

"ATI continues to take a disciplined approach to capital allocation, balancing investments to support growth and reliability with returning capital to shareholders. During the second quarter, we delivered on our commitment to repurchase $250 million shares of our stock, bringing our total 2025 share repurchases to $320 million. Our remaining  board authorization for buybacks is now $270 million, which we will deploy opportunistically," said Fields.

Operating Results by Segment

 

• HPMC's second quarter 2025 sales increased $24.7 million, or 4%, compared to first quarter 2025, primarily due to increased demand for commercial jet engine products. Overall aerospace & defense sales represented 92% of total HPMC sales in both second quarter 2025 and first quarter 2025. Second quarter 2025 sales improved 8% compared to second quarter 2024. The year-over-year sales growth includes a negative impact of $30.0 million due to the first quarter 2025 disposition of certain non-core operations in Europe. Overall, the increase in sales was primarily due to a 26% increase in commercial jet engine sales, partially offset by an 18% decrease in sales of commercial airframes, which included the impact of inventory destocking by current customers. Sales were also lower to the medical and specialty energy markets.
• HPMC second quarter 2025 segment EBITDA* was $144.0 million, or 23.7% of sales. The sequential increase in margins was primarily due to higher sales volume as well as favorable pricing of nickel based alloys and specialty alloys. Also, second quarter 2025 margin benefited from the recognition of $4.4 million of previously deferred employee retention credits.
• HPMC second quarter 2024 segment EBITDA* was $113.8 million, or 20.2% of sales, which included a benefit of $3.5 million for the recognition of previously deferred employee retention credits.

 

• AA&S second quarter 2025 sales decreased $28.7 million, or 5%, compared to the first quarter 2025, primarily due to lower sales of conventional energy and defense products. These decreases were partially offset by higher sales in the specialty energy market as well as higher demand for commercial jet engine and electronics products. Overall aerospace & defense sales were 38% of total AA&S sales in the second quarter of 2025. Compared to the prior year quarter, second quarter 2025 sales were relatively flat, decreasing $1.7 million, or less than 1%.
• AA&S second quarter 2025 segment EBITDA* was $76.7 million, or 14.4% of sales. The sequential decrease in margins was primarily due to lower sales volume. Second quarter 2025 margin benefited from the recognition of $2.6 million of previously deferred employee retention credits while first quarter 2025 margin benefited $2.6 million due to a recovery for previously reserved accounts receivables.
• AA&S second quarter 2024 segment EBITDA* was $87.5 million, or 16.4% of sales, which included a benefit of $5.1 million for the recognition of previously deferred employee retention credits.

Corporate Items and Cash

• Restructuring and other charges:
  • Second quarter 2025: $8.7 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. These pre-tax charges were 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.
  • First quarter 2025: $5.6 million includes pre-tax charges consisting of $4.0 million of start-up and transaction related costs and $1.6 million of losses on the sale of customer accounts receivable.
  • 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 a reduction in severance-related reserves primarily for our ongoing European restructuring.
• Corporate expenses in the second quarter 2025 were $15.4 million, compared to $17.4 million in the first quarter 2025, and $19.4 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in second quarter 2025 compared to first quarter 2025 was primarily due to a benefit from insurance claims. The decrease compared to second quarter 2024 was primarily due to lower incentive compensation costs.
• Closed operations and other income/expense was income of $2.4 million in the second quarter 2025 compared to an expense of $2.4 million in the first quarter 2025, and income of $0.7 million in the prior year quarter.

Second quarter 2024 included a $2.3 million gain from the sale of a previously idled facility.
• Second quarter 2025 results include a $29.3 million income tax provision, or an effective tax rate of 22.0%, which was higher than the first quarter 2025 effective tax rate of 17.3%.

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 are classified as held for sale.
