NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Unaudited

Note 1. Accounting Policies

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allegheny Technologies Incorporated and its subsidiaries. Unless the context requires otherwise, “Allegheny Technologies”, “ATI” and “the Company” refer to Allegheny Technologies Incorporated and its subsidiaries.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period. The December 31, 2009 financial information has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In January 2010, the FASB issued changes to disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, including the amount of transfers between Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the reasons for transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and activity for recurring Level 3 measures. In addition, the changes clarify certain disclosure requirements related to the level at which fair value disclosures should be disaggregated with separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, and the requirement to provide disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities classified as Levels 2 or 3. The Company adopted the disclosure changes effective January 1, 2010, except for the disaggregated Level 3 rollforward disclosures, which will be effective for fiscal year 2011.

Note 2. Inventories

Inventories at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows (in millions):


	September 30,			December 31,
	2010			2009
Raw materials and supplies	$	191.7		$	158.3
Work-in-process		843.7			673.9
Finished goods		121.5			96.1

Total inventories at current cost		1,156.9			928.3
Less allowances to reduce current cost values to LIFO basis		(143.5	)		(102.8	)
Progress payments		(1.4	)		—

Total inventories, net	$	1,012.0		$	825.5

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out (“LIFO”), first-in, first-out (“FIFO”), and average cost methods) or market, less progress payments. Most of the Company’s inventory is valued utilizing the LIFO costing methodology. Inventory of the Company’s non-U.S. operations is valued using average cost or FIFO methods. The effect of using the LIFO methodology to value inventory, rather than FIFO, increased cost of sales by $40.7 million for the first nine months of 2010 compared to a decrease to cost of sales of $59.0 million for the first nine months of 2009.

Note 3. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was as follows (in millions):


	September 30,			December 31,
	2010			2009

Total property, plant and equipment, net	$	1,939.9		$	1,907.9

Note 4. Debt

Debt at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was as follows (in millions):

Industrial revenue bonds, due through 2020, and other		7.1		8.1

Total short-term and long-term debt		1,061.1		1,071.1
Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt		21.9		33.5

Total long-term debt	$	1,039.2	$	1,037.6


(a)		Includes fair value adjustments for settled interest rate swap contracts of $1.2 million at September 30, 2010 and $1.8 million at December 31, 2009.

The Company did not borrow funds under its $400 million senior unsecured domestic credit facility during the first nine months of 2010, although approximately $7 million has been utilized to support the issuance of letters of credit. The unsecured facility requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio (consolidated total indebtedness net of cash on hand in excess of $50 million, divided by consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash pension expense) of not greater than 3.25, and maintain an interest coverage ratio (consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, and non-cash pension expense divided by interest expense) of not less than 2.0. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2010, the leverage ratio was 1.67, and the interest coverage ratio was 4.85.

The Company has an additional separate credit facility for the issuance of letters of credit. As of September 30, 2010, $32 million in letters of credit were outstanding under this facility.

In addition, STAL, the Company’s Chinese joint venture company in which ATI has a 60% interest, has a 205 million renminbi (approximately $31 million at September 30, 2010 exchange rates) revolving credit facility with a group of banks. This credit facility is supported solely by STAL’s financial capability without any guarantees from the joint venture partners. As of September 30, 2010, there were no borrowings under this credit facility.

Note 5. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging

As part of its risk management strategy, the Company, from time-to-time, utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to changes in raw material prices, energy costs, foreign currencies, and interest rates. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company accounts for most of these contracts as hedges. In general, hedge effectiveness is determined by examining the relationship between offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the item being hedged, and the financial instrument being used for the hedge. Effectiveness is measured utilizing regression analysis and other techniques to determine whether the change in the fair market value or cash flows of the derivative exceeds the change in fair value or cash flow of the hedged item. Calculated ineffectiveness, if any, is immediately recognized on the statement of income.

The Company sometimes uses futures and swap contracts to manage exposure to changes in prices for forecasted purchases of raw materials, such as nickel and natural gas. Under these contracts, which are generally accounted for as cash flow hedges, the price of the item being hedged is fixed at the time that the contract is entered into and the Company is obligated to make or receive a payment equal to the net change between this fixed price and the market price at the date the contract matures.

The majority of ATI’s products are sold utilizing raw material surcharges and index mechanisms. However, as of September 30, 2010, the Company had entered into financial hedging arrangements primarily at the request of its customers, related to firm orders, representing approximately 4% of its annual nickel usage, primarily with settlements in 2010. A minor amount of nickel hedges extend into 2014.

At September 30, 2010, the outstanding financial derivatives used to hedge the Company’s exposure to energy cost volatility included natural gas cost hedges for approximately 75% of its annual forecasted domestic requirements through 2011 and approximately 15% for 2012, and electricity hedges for Western Pennsylvania operations of approximately 45% of its forecasted on-peak and off-peak requirements for 2011 and approximately 30% for 2012.

While the majority of the Company’s direct export sales are transacted in U.S. dollars, foreign currency exchange contracts are used, from time-to-time, to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency exchange rates for those transactions denominated in a non-U.S. currency. The Company sometimes purchases foreign currency forward contracts that permit it to sell specified amounts of foreign currencies expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. The forward contracts are denominated in the same foreign currencies in which export sales are denominated. These contracts are designated as hedges of the variability in cash flows of a portion of the forecasted future export sales transactions which otherwise would expose the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company may also enter into foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedges, which are denominated in the same foreign currency in which export sales are denominated. At September 30, 2010, the outstanding financial derivatives, including both hedges and undesignated derivatives, that are used to manage the Company’s exposure to foreign currency, primarily euros, represented approximately 15% of its forecasted total international sales through 2011. In addition, the Company may also designate cash balances held in foreign currencies as hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions.

The Company may enter into derivative interest rate contracts to maintain a reasonable balance between fixed- and floating-rate debt. There were no unsettled derivative financial instruments related to debt balances for the periods presented, although previously settled contracts remain a component of the recorded value of debt. See Note 4. Debt, for further information.

The fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are presented below. All fair values for these derivatives were measured using Level 2 information as defined by the accounting standard hierarchy, which includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

For derivative financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current period results. The Company did not use fair value or net investment hedges for the periods presented. The effects of derivative instruments in the tables below are presented net of related income taxes.

Activity with regard to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was as follows (in millions):

(b)		The gains recognized in income on derivatives related to the ineffective portion and the amount excluded from effectiveness testing are presented in selling and administrative expenses.

Assuming market prices remain constant with those at September 30, 2010, a loss of $6.6 million is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months.

The disclosures of gains or losses presented above for nickel and other raw material contracts and foreign currency contracts do not take into account the anticipated underlying transactions. Since these derivative contracts represent hedges, the net effect of any gain or loss on results of operations may be fully or partially offset.

Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments were as follows:

Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contract derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in cost of sales.

There are no credit risk-related contingent features in the Company’s derivative contracts, and the contracts contained no provisions under which the Company has posted, or would be required to post, collateral. The counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts were substantial and creditworthy commercial banks that are recognized market makers. The Company controls its credit exposure by diversifying across multiple counterparties and by monitoring credit ratings and credit default swap spreads of its counterparties. The Company also enters into master netting agreements with counterparties when possible.

Note 6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of financial instruments at September 30, 2010 was as follows:


			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
					Quoted Prices in		Significant
	Total		Total		Active Markets for		Observable
	Carrying		Estimated		Identical Assets		Inputs
(In millions)	Amount		Fair Value		(Level 1)		(Level 2)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	443.3	$	443.3	$	262.1	$	181.2

Liabilities		32.5		32.5		—		32.5
Debt (a)		1,061.1		1,288.3		1,246.4		41.9

The estimated fair value of financial instruments at December 31, 2009 was as follows:


			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
					Quoted Prices in		Significant
	Total		Total		Active Markets for		Observable
	Carrying		Estimated		Identical Assets		Inputs
(In millions)	Amount		Fair Value		(Level 1)		(Level 2)

Derivative financial instruments:

Liabilities		17.7		17.7		—		17.7
Debt (a)		1,071.1		1,285.5		1,234.8		50.7


(a)		Includes fair value adjustments for settled interest rate swap contracts of $1.2 million at September 30, 2010, and $1.8 million at December 31, 2009.

In accordance with accounting standards, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards established three levels of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash fair value was determined using Level 1 information. Cash equivalent fair value was determined using Level 2 information.

Derivative financial instruments: Fair values for derivatives were measured using exchange-traded prices for the hedged items. The fair value was determined using Level 2 information, including consideration of counterparty risk and the Company’s credit risk.

Short-term and long-term debt: The fair values of the Company’s publicly traded debt were based on Level 1 information. The fair values of the other short-term and long-term debt were determined using Level 2 information.

Note 7. Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits

The Company has defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans covering substantially all employees. Benefits under the defined benefit pension plans are generally based on years of service and/or final average pay. The Company funds the U.S. pension plans in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company also sponsors several postretirement plans covering certain salaried and hourly employees. The plans provide health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees. In most plans, Company contributions towards premiums are capped based on the cost as of a certain date, thereby creating a defined contribution. For the non-collectively bargained plans, the Company maintains the right to amend or terminate the plans at its discretion.

For the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the components of pension (income) expense and components of other postretirement benefit expense for the Company’s defined benefit plans included the following (in millions):


	Pension Benefits						Other Postretirement Benefits
	Three Months Ended						Three Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2010			2009			2010			2009
Service cost — benefits earned during the year	$	7.6		$	5.6		$	0.8		$	0.7

Amortization of net actuarial loss		19.3			17.4			1.5			1.6

Total retirement benefit expense	$	17.8		$	19.8		$	4.7		$	5.2

For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the components of pension (income) expense and components of other postretirement benefit expense for the Company’s defined benefit plans included the following (in millions):


	Pension Benefits						Other Postretirement Benefits
	Nine Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2010			2009			2010			2009
Service cost — benefits earned during the year	$	22.7		$	17.7		$	2.3		$	2.2
Interest cost on benefits earned in prior years		98.9			103.7			21.6			24.4
Expected return on plan assets		(136.2	)		(114.0	)		(1.0	)		(1.2	)
Amortization of prior service cost (credit)		10.1			12.3			(13.5	)		(14.4	)
Amortization of net actuarial loss		58.0			59.2			4.5			4.8

Total retirement benefit expense	$	53.5		$	78.9		$	13.9		$	15.8

Other postretirement benefit costs for a defined contribution plan were $0.5 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

Note 8. Income Taxes

Third quarter 2010 results included a provision for income taxes of $6.2 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $1.4 million for the comparable 2009 period. The third quarter 2010 included a tax charge of $3.9 million primarily due to the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act, which allows businesses of all sizes to immediately deduct from taxable income 50% of the cost of depreciable property placed into service during 2010. Excluding the tax charge, the third quarter 2010 effective tax rate was 36.8% of income before tax. The third quarter 2009 tax provision was reduced by an income tax benefit of $2.4 million for adjustment of taxes paid in a prior year.

For the first nine months of 2010, the provision for income taxes was $41.8 million, compared to $5.3 million for the first nine months of 2009. The first nine months 2010 included a non-recurring tax charge of $5.3 million associated with the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the $3.9 million third quarter tax charge for the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act discussed above. These tax charges were partially offset by discrete net tax benefits of $5.3 million associated with adjustment of taxes paid in prior years, the settlement of uncertain income tax positions, and other changes. As a result of the settlements of uncertain income tax positions, the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits was reduced by $15.9 million, including $4.2 million related to interest and penalties, and deferred taxes increased $11.7 million. The provision for income taxes for the first nine months of 2009 included a non-recurring tax charge of $11.5 million, primarily associated with the tax consequences of the June 2009 $350 million voluntary contribution to the pension plan, partially offset by net discrete income tax benefit adjustments of $7.3 million associated with prior years’ taxes.

Note 9. Business Segments

Following is certain financial information with respect to the Company’s business segments for the periods indicated (in millions):


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Income before income taxes	$	9.5		$	2.6		$	103.1		$	2.9

Retirement benefit expense represents defined benefit plan pension expense, and other postretirement benefit expense for both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. Operating profit with respect to the Company’s business segments excludes any retirement benefit expense.

Corporate expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $13.4 million, compared to $15.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This change is due primarily to decreased expenses in 2010 associated with cash incentive compensation programs.

Other expense, net of gains on asset sales, primarily includes charges incurred in connection with closed operations and other non-operating income or expense. These items are presented primarily in selling and administrative expenses and in other expense in the statement of operations. These items resulted in net charges of $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily related to lower expenses at closed operations and foreign currency remeasurement gains.

Note 10. Per Share Information

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share (in millions, except per share amounts):

Diluted net income (loss) attributable to ATI per common share	$	0.01	$	0.01	$	0.56	$	(0.06	)

Common stock that would be issuable upon the assumed conversion of the 2014 Convertible Notes and other option equivalents and contingently issuable shares were excluded from the computation of contingently issuable shares, and therefore, from the denominator for diluted earnings per share, as the effect of inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Excluded shares for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 were 9.6 million for both periods. Excluded shares for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 were 9.6 million and 5.1 million, respectively.

Note 11. Financial Information for Subsidiary and Guarantor Parent

The payment obligations under the $150 million 6.95% debentures due 2025 issued by Allegheny Ludlum Corporation (the “Subsidiary”) are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (the “Guarantor Parent”).

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various domestic and international environmental laws and regulations that govern the discharge of pollutants and disposal of wastes, and which may require that it investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. The Company could incur substantial cleanup costs, fines, and civil or criminal sanctions, third party property damage or personal injury claims as a result of violations or liabilities under these laws or noncompliance with environmental permits required at its facilities. The Company is currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of its current and former sites, as well as third party sites.

Environmental liabilities are recorded when the Company’s liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable. In many cases, however, the Company is not able to determine whether it is liable or, if liability is probable, to reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss. Estimates of the Company’s liability remain subject to

additional uncertainties, including the nature and extent of site contamination, available remediation alternatives, the extent of corrective actions that may be required, and the number, participation, and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”). The Company expects that it will adjust its accruals to reflect new information as appropriate. Future adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in a given period, but the Company cannot reliably predict the amounts of such future adjustments.

Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding the amount already accrued for any of the sites with which the Company is currently associated (either individually or in the aggregate) will be an amount that would be material to a decision to buy or sell the Company’s securities. Future developments, administrative actions or liabilities relating to environmental matters, however, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

At September 30, 2010, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled approximately $17 million, of which $8 million was included in other current liabilities. The reserve includes estimated probable future costs of $6 million for federal Superfund and comparable state-managed sites; $7 million for formerly owned or operated sites for which the Company has remediation or indemnification obligations; $3 million for owned or controlled sites at which Company operations have been discontinued; and $1 million for sites utilized by the Company in its ongoing operations. The Company continues to evaluate whether it may be able to recover a portion of future costs for environmental liabilities from third parties.

The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site. The Company expects that it will expend present accruals over many years and that remediation of all sites with which it has been identified will be completed within thirty years.

See Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 for a discussion of legal proceedings affecting the Company.

A number of other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its currently and formerly owned businesses, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, government contract work, employment, employee benefits, taxes, environmental, health and safety, occupational disease, and stockholder matters. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations for that period.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Allegheny Technologies is one of the largest and most diversified specialty metals producers in the world. We use innovative technologies to offer global markets a wide range of specialty metals solutions. Our products include titanium and titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys and superalloys, zirconium, hafnium, and niobium, advanced powder alloys, stainless and specialty steel alloys, grain-oriented electrical steel, tungsten-based materials and cutting tools, carbon alloy impression die forgings, and large grey and ductile iron castings. Our specialty metals are produced in a wide range of alloys and product forms and are selected for use in applications that demand metals having exceptional hardness, toughness, strength, resistance to heat, corrosion or abrasion, or a combination of these characteristics.

Results of Operations

We operate in three business segments: High Performance Metals, Flat-Rolled Products, and Engineered Products. These segments represented the following percentages of our total revenues and segment operating profit for the first nine months of 2010 and 2009:


	2010						2009
				Operating						Operating
	Revenue			Profit			Revenue			Profit (Loss)
High Performance Metals		33	%		72	%		44	%		90	%

Flat-Rolled Products		58	%		23	%		48	%		25	%

Engineered Products		9	%		5	%		8	%		(15	%)

Sales for the third quarter 2010 increased 52% to $1.06 billion, compared to the third quarter 2009, primarily as a result of higher shipments across all our business segments, and higher transactional selling prices in our Flat-Rolled Products segment. Compared to the third quarter 2009, sales increased 23% in the High Performance Metals segment, 70% in the Flat-Rolled Products segment and 75% in the Engineered Products segment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, sales were $3.01 billion, an increase of 34% compared to the same period of 2009. Sales for the first nine months of 2010 increased 63% in the Flat-Rolled Products segment and 55% in the Engineered Products segment compared to the 2009 period, and sales in the High Performance Metals segment sales were at a similar level to the prior year.

Demand from the global aerospace and defense, electrical energy, oil and gas, chemical process industry, and medical markets accounted for approximately 68% of our sales for the first nine months of 2010. Aerospace and defense represented 25% of our sales for the first nine months of 2010, with the oil and gas and chemical process industry markets representing 20% of total sales, and sales to the electrical energy market representing 17%. During the 2010 first nine months, demand from these markets continued to improve, particularly for air frames and jet engines, compared to 2009.

For the first nine months of 2010, direct international sales increased $267.1 million, or 39%, to $958.4 million, or 31.8% of total sales. Sales of our high-value products (titanium and titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys and specialty alloys, exotic alloys, grain-oriented electrical steel, precision and engineered strip, and tungsten materials) represented 70% of total sales. Titanium product shipments, including ATI-produced products for our Uniti titanium joint venture, were over 29 million pounds in the first nine months of 2010, which represented 14% of total sales, and compares to 27.1 million pounds in the comparable 2009 period.

Segment operating profit for the third quarter 2010 increased to $63.0 million, or 6.0% of sales, compared to $54.0 million, or 7.7% of sales, in the third quarter 2009. For the first nine months of 2010, segment operating profit increased to $268.5 million, or 8.9% of sales, compared to $163.8 million, or 7.3%, in the comparable period 2009. Third quarter 2010 total segment operating profit included a LIFO inventory valuation reserve charge of $35.2 million, which included approximately $33 million of cumulative adjustments due to changes in our estimates of year-end LIFO inventory cost, primarily as a result of the recent significant and unexpected increase in the cost of nickel. Third quarter 2009 results included a LIFO inventory valuation reserve benefit of $4.5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the LIFO inventory valuation reserve charge was $40.7 million, compared to a benefit of $59.0 million for the prior year period. Although demand improved across all three business segments compared to the prior year, operating results for the 2010 third quarter and first nine months were adversely affected by idle facility, start-up costs and additional equipment maintenance costs of $27.0 million and $47.0 million, respectively, primarily impacting our High Performance Metals segment. The start-up costs relate mostly to our Rowley, UT premium-titanium sponge facility. The facility is operational and producing sponge, as we work on standardizing the process and improving yields as part of the orderly production ramp up. Idle facility costs relate mostly to our Albany, OR titanium sponge facility, which is positioned to be back in production when warranted by market conditions. The third quarter 2010 results benefited from gross cost reductions, before the effects of inflation, of $30.1 million, bringing gross cost reductions for the 2010 first nine months to $102.4 million.

Compared to the second quarter 2010, sales were largely unchanged across all segments. Segment operating profit sequentially declined 46%, primarily due to LIFO inventory valuation reserve charges in the Flat-Rolled Products segment, and higher than normal equipment maintenance expenses.

The selling prices for many of our products include surcharges or indices by which we attempt to match changes in raw material costs, and in some cases energy costs, with shipments. The first nine months of 2009 results were adversely impacted by approximately $83 million in out-of-phase raw material surcharges and indices due primarily to the rapid decrease in the cost of raw materials in late 2008. This was partially offset by a LIFO

inventory valuation reserve benefit of $59.0 million in the first nine months 2009 as a result of a decline in raw material costs in 2009.

Segment operating profit (loss) as a percentage of sales for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was:


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2010			2009			2010			2009
High Performance Metals		20.9	%		18.4	%		19.7	%		14.8	%
Flat-Rolled Products		(1.9	%)		3.1	%		3.5	%		3.8	%
Engineered Products		2.9	%		(15.9	%)		4.6	%		(13.9	%)

Our measure of segment operating profit, which we use to analyze the performance and results of our business segments, excludes income taxes, corporate expenses, net interest income or expense, retirement benefit expense, and other costs net of gains on asset sales. We believe segment operating profit, as defined, provides an appropriate measure of controllable operating results at the business segment level.

In June 2009, we completed several proactive liability management actions including the issuance $350 million of 9.375% 10-year Senior Notes and $402.5 million of 4.25% 5-year Convertible Senior Notes. The net proceeds of the debt issuances were used to retire $183.3 million of 8.375% Notes due in 2011, and to make a $350 million voluntary cash contribution to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan to significantly improve the plan’s funded position, with the balance of the proceeds being used for general corporate purposes. As a result of these actions, results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 include a charge of $9.2 million pre-tax, or $5.5 million after-tax, for debt retirement expense and a discrete tax charge of $11.5 million, primarily associated with the tax consequences of the $350 million voluntary pension contribution.

Income before tax for the 2010 third quarter and first nine months benefited from decreased retirement benefit expenses of $3.0 million and $28.8 million, respectively, due to higher than expected returns on pension plan assets in 2009 and the benefits resulting from our voluntary pension contributions over the past several years. However, interest expense, net of interest income, increased $8.3 million and $37.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, primarily due to the debt issuances in the second quarter 2009 and lower interest expense capitalized on strategic projects due to project completions.

Income before tax for the third quarter 2010 was $9.5 million compared to $2.6 million for the third quarter 2009. For the first nine months 2010, income before tax was $103.1 million compared to $2.9 million for the comparable period of 2009.

Net income attributable to ATI for the third quarter 2010 was $1.0 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.01 per share for the third quarter 2009. In the third quarter 2010, we recorded a one-time tax charge of $3.9 million, or $0.04 per share, primarily due to the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act. While this charge had a 2010 third quarter negative impact on ATI’s tax provision, we expect to receive a cash refund in the first first half 2011 of approximately $30 million. Excluding this tax charge, net income attributable to ATI was $4.9 million, or $0.05 per share.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net income attributable to ATI, including special charges, was $55.6 million, or $0.56 per share. Results included a 2010 first quarter non-recurring tax charge of $5.3 million related to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the third quarter tax charge of $3.9 million discussed above. Excluding these non-recurring tax charges, net income attributable to ATI was $64.8 million, or $0.66 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net loss attributable to ATI, including special charges, was $6.1 million, or $0.06 per share. Excluding special charges related to liability management actions described above, results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were net income attributable to ATI of $10.9 million, or $0.11 per share.

We continued to maintain our solid balance sheet. At September 30, 2010, we had cash on hand of $443.3 million, representing an increase of $64.6 million in the 2010 third quarter. Cash flow used in operations for the

first nine months 2010 was $63.9 million as investment in managed working capital of $345.2 million, due to improving business activity and higher raw material costs, offset increased profitability. Net debt to total capitalization was 23.2% and total debt to total capitalization was 34.1% at September 30, 2010.

Our key markets are performing well. We see increasing opportunities in 2011 to supply large projects in the oil and gas market and chemical processing industry in Asia and the Middle East. Also, we are cautiously optimistic that demand for our standard sheet and plate products will continue to recover. However, this demand is being driven by modest U.S. and European GDP growth expectations, and operating results are subject to being impacted by volatile raw material costs.

We recently announced price increases for some of our high-value products. These range from 4% to 7% for certain nickel-based alloys and specialty alloys in long and flat-rolled product forms. In addition, Uniti LLC, our industrial titanium joint venture, announced that it is increasing prices by 6% to 9% for CP titanium products. Due to lead times that extend into the first quarter 2011, these announced price increases are expected to impact 2011 performance.

Our focus remains on execution as we continue to position ATI for the expected strong growth trends over the next several years in our key global markets. We expect 2011 to be much improved as demand recovers and we grow faster than our key markets as a result of new customers and long-term agreements, the growing use of our innovative new products, our new technically advanced manufacturing capabilities, and a global focus on our key markets.

High Performance Metals Segment

Third quarter 2010 sales increased 23% to $344.4 million compared to the same 2009 period. Shipments increased 19% for titanium and titanium alloys and 36% for nickel-based and specialty alloys, primarily due to improved demand from the commercial aerospace jet engine market. Shipments of exotic alloys increased 14% primarily due to increased demand from the medical and energy markets. Average selling prices declined 2% for titanium and titanium alloys due to a more competitive pricing environment, but increased 1% for nickel-based and specialty alloys primarily as a result of higher raw material surcharges. Average selling prices for exotic alloys decreased 6% due to product mix.

Segment operating profit in the 2010 third quarter increased to $72.0 million, or 20.9% of sales, compared to $51.3 million, or 18.4% of sales, for the third quarter 2009. The increase in operating profit primarily resulted from higher shipments and the benefits of gross cost reductions. In addition, third quarter 2010 operating profit was adversely affected by approximately $12 million of start-up and idle facility costs associated with our titanium sponge operations and by approximately $7 million related to a two-week shutdown at our zirconium facilities. Third quarter results included a LIFO inventory valuation reserve benefit of $4.9 million for the 2010 period compared to a $10.0 million benefit for the 2009 period. Segment results benefited from $14.8 million of gross cost reductions in the third quarter 2010.

Certain comparative information on the segment’s major products for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 is provided in the following table:


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,				%
	2010		2009		Change
Volume (000’s pounds):
Titanium mill products		6,515		5,488		19	%
Nickel-based and specialty alloys		8,858		6,511		36	%
Exotic alloys		1,181		1,038		14	%

Average prices (per pound):

Nickel-based and specialty alloys	$	15.09	$	14.87		1	%
Exotic alloys	$	58.18	$	61.61		(6	%)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, segment sales increased 33% to $988.5 million. Shipments increased 7% for titanium and titanium alloys and 9% for nickel-based and specialty alloys as demand from the commercial aerospace market began to recover from the trough in the 2009 second half. Shipments of exotic alloys decreased 10% primarily due to the timing of projects for the chemical process industry. Average selling prices declined 11% for titanium and titanium alloys and 2% for nickel-based and specialty alloys primarily due to a more competitive pricing environment. Average selling prices for exotic alloys increased 2% due to a favorable product mix.

Segment operating profit for the first nine months 2010 increased to $194.3 million, or 19.7% of sales, compared to $146.6 million, or 14.8% of sales, for the comparable 2009 period. The increase in operating profit primarily resulted from a better matching of surcharges and raw material costs, and the benefits of $50.6 million in gross cost reductions which offset lower average selling prices for most products, and lower shipments of exotic alloys. Operating profit for the first nine months of 2010 was adversely affected by approximately $37.4 million of idle facility and start-up costs. Operating profit for the first nine months of 2010 and 2009 included $2.8 million and $9.5 million, respectively, of LIFO inventory valuation reserve benefits. In addition, operating profit for the 2009 first nine months was adversely affected by approximately $24 million from the impact of higher cost raw materials, primarily nickel and titanium, purchased in prior periods flowing through cost of sales and not being in phase with the raw material indices included in our selling prices during the first half of the year. This was due primarily to the rapid decrease in raw material costs in late 2008 and the long manufacturing times of some of our products.

Certain comparative information on the segment’s major products for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 is provided in the following table:

Flat-Rolled Products Segment

Third quarter 2010 sales increased to $619.2 million, 70% higher than the third quarter 2009, primarily due to increased shipments, higher raw material surcharges, and improved base-selling prices for stainless products. Shipments of standard stainless products (sheet and plate) increased 31% and high-value products shipments increased 26%. Average transaction prices for all products, which include surcharges, were 33% higher due to increased raw material surcharges and improved base prices for stainless products.

A segment operating loss of $11.8 million for the third quarter 2010 was primarily due to a LIFO inventory valuation reserve charge of $38.9 million, primarily as a result of the recent significant and unexpected increase in the cost of nickel, and $5 million of higher than normal major maintenance expenses. Segment operating profit was $11.3 million for the third quarter 2009, and included a $6.8 million LIFO inventory valuation reserve charge. Segment results for the 2010 period benefited from $10.4 million in gross cost reductions.

Comparative information on the segment’s products for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 is provided in the following table:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, sales increased to $1.75 billion, 58% higher than the 2009 period, primarily due to higher shipments and raw material surcharges, and improved base-selling prices for stainless products. Shipments of standard stainless products (sheet and plate) increased 44% and high-value products shipments increased 25%. Average transaction prices for all products, which include surcharges, were 22% higher due to increased raw material surcharges and improved base prices for stainless products.

Segment operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 improved to $61.7 million, or 3.5% of sales, compared to $41.3 million, or 3.8% of sales, for the 2009 period due primarily to increased shipments and higher base prices for stainless products plus a better matching of surcharges with raw material costs. Results for the first nine months of 2010 include a $40.5 million LIFO inventory valuation reserve charge, compared to a LIFO inventory valuation reserve benefit of $45.5 million in the 2009 period. Additionally, operating profit for the 2009 first half was adversely affected by $59 million of higher cost raw materials purchased in 2008 flowing through cost of sales and not being in phase with raw material surcharges included in selling prices. This was due primarily to the rapid decrease in raw material costs in the second half of the fourth quarter 2008 and the long manufacturing times of some of our products. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 benefitted from $37.0 million of gross cost reductions.

Engineered Products Segment

Sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 were $95.2 million and $270.6 million, respectively, which were 75% and 55% higher than the same periods of 2009. Demand continued to improve from the oil and gas, transportation, aerospace, electrical energy, and automotive markets. Segment operating profit for the 2010 third quarter and first nine months was $2.8 million and $12.5 million, respectively, compared to losses of $8.6 million and $24.1 million in the comparable 2009 periods. The improvement in operating profit was primarily due to significantly increased demand and the improvement in operating costs resulting from better operating rates compared to 2009. Operating profit for the 2010 third quarter and first nine months was adversely affected by a

LIFO inventory valuation reserve charge of $1.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Segment results benefited from a $1.3 million decrease in the LIFO inventory valuation reserve for the 2009 third quarter and a $4.0 million decrease for the 2009 first nine months.

Results for 2010 also benefited from $4.9 million of gross cost reductions in the third quarter 2010, bringing year to date 2010 gross cost reductions to $14.8 million.

Corporate Items

Corporate expenses decreased to $13.4 million for the third quarter of 2010, compared to $15.7 million in the year-ago period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, corporate expenses increased to $40.7 million compared to $38.7 million in the prior year-to-date period. These changes were primarily due to expenses associated with annual and long-term performance-based cash incentive compensation programs.

Interest expense, net of interest income, in the third quarter 2010 was $16.4 million, compared to interest expense of $8.1 million in the third quarter 2009. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, net interest expense was $46.4 million compared to $9.3 million in the prior year-to-date period. The increases in interest expense were primarily due to debt issuances in the second quarter 2009 and lower capitalized interest on strategic projects due to project completions. Interest expense benefited from the capitalization of interest costs on strategic capital projects of $10.0 million in the first nine months of 2010 and by $30.2 million in the first nine months of 2009.

In June 2009, we completed a tender offer resulting in the retirement of $183.3 million of the Company’s 8.375% notes due in December 2011, which left $116.7 million in face value of the 2011 Notes outstanding at the end of June 2010. As a result of this transaction, we recognized a pre-tax charge of $9.2 million in the 2009 second quarter for the costs of the debt retirement.

Other expense, net of gains on asset sales, primarily includes charges incurred in connection with closed operations and other assets, and other non-operating income or expense. These items are presented primarily in selling and administration expenses, and in other income (expense) in the statement of operations and resulted in other expense of $1.2 million for the third quarter 2010 and $2.1 million for the third quarter 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, other expense, net of gains on asset sales, was $10.9 million, compared to $7.5 million for the comparable 2009 period. The changes in expenses primarily related to the recognition of foreign currency gains and losses, and legal expenses.

Retirement benefit expense, which includes pension expense and other postretirement expense, decreased to $22.5 million in the third quarter 2010, compared to $25.5 million in the third quarter 2009. For the third quarter 2010, retirement benefit expense of $16.1 million was included in cost of sales and $6.4 million was included in selling and administrative expenses. For the third quarter 2009, the amount of retirement benefit expense included in cost of sales was $15.9 million, and the amount included in selling and administrative expenses was $9.6 million. Retirement benefit expense decreased to $67.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $96.2 million in the third quarter 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, retirement benefit expense of $48.1 million was included in cost of sales and $19.3 million was included in selling and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the amount of retirement benefit expense included in cost of sales was $67.2 million, and the amount included in selling and administrative expenses was $29.0 million. The decreases in retirement benefit expense for the 2010 three and nine month periods, compared to the prior year periods, were primarily due to higher than expected returns on pension plan assets in 2009 and the benefits resulting from our voluntary pension contributions made over the last several years.

Income Taxes

Third quarter 2010 results included a provision for income taxes of $6.2 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $1.4 million for the comparable 2009 period. The third quarter 2010 included a tax charge of $3.9 million primarily due to the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act, signed into law on September 27, 2010, which allows businesses of all sizes to immediately write-off 50% of the cost of depreciable property placed into service during 2010. Although the tax law change has a one-time negative income tax provision impact, it will have a favorable cash flow impact to ATI in the first half of 2011. Excluding the tax charge, the third quarter 2010 effective tax rate was 36.8%. The third quarter 2009 tax provision was reduced by an income tax benefit of $2.4 million for adjustment of taxes paid in a prior year.

For the first nine months of 2010, the provision for income taxes was $41.8 million, compared to $5.3 million for the comparable 2009 period. The first nine months of 2010 included a non-recurring tax charge of $5.3 million associated with the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the third quarter tax charge for the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act discussed above. The provision for income taxes for the first nine months of 2009 included a non-recurring tax charge of $11.5 million, primarily associated with the tax consequences of the June 2009 $350 million voluntary contribution to the pension plan, partially offset by net discrete income tax benefit adjustments of $7.3 million associated with prior years’ taxes.

Primarily as a result of the $350 million voluntary pension contribution in June 2009 which was designated to pertain to the 2009 tax year, the Company received a U.S. Federal income tax refund of $108.5 million in the 2009 second quarter.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

We believe that internally generated funds, current cash on hand, and available borrowings under existing credit lines will be adequate to meet foreseeable liquidity needs, including a substantial expansion of our production capabilities over the next few years, and scheduled debt maturities. We did not borrow funds under our domestic senior unsecured credit facility during the first nine months of 2010. However, as of September 30, 2010, approximately $7 million of this facility was utilized to support letters of credit.

If we needed to obtain additional financing using the credit markets, the cost and the terms and conditions of such borrowings may be influenced by our credit rating. Changes in our credit rating do not impact our access to, or the cost of, our existing credit facilities.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Cash Flow and Working Capital

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cash used in operating activities was $63.9 million as an investment of $345.2 million in managed working capital, primarily due to improving business activity and higher raw material costs, offset increased profitability. Cash used in investing activities was $132.4 million in the first nine months of 2010 and consisted primarily of capital expenditures. Cash used in financing activities was $69.2 million in the first nine months of 2010 due primarily to dividend payments of $53.0 million. At September 30, 2010, cash and cash equivalents on hand totaled $443.3 million, a decrease of $265.5 million from year end 2009, and a sequential increase of $64.6 million during the 2010 third quarter.

As part of managing the liquidity of our business, we focus on controlling managed working capital, which is defined as gross accounts receivable and gross inventories, less accounts payable. In measuring performance in controlling this managed working capital, we exclude the effects of LIFO inventory valuation reserves, excess and obsolete inventory reserves, and reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable which, due to their nature, are managed separately. At September 30, 2010, managed working capital was 32.3% of annualized sales, compared to 34.5% of annualized sales at December 31, 2009. During the first nine months of 2010, managed working capital increased by $345.2 million, to $1.4 billion. The increase in managed working capital from December 31, 2009 was due to increased accounts receivable of $230.0 million and increased inventory of $220.6 million, partially offset by increased accounts payable of $105.4 million. While accounts receivable balances increased during 2010, days sales outstanding, which measures actual collection timing for accounts receivable, remained comparable to year end 2009. Gross inventory turns, which excludes the effect of LIFO inventory valuation reserves, improved 16% compared to year end 2009.

Capital Expenditures

We have significantly expanded, and continue to expand, our manufacturing capabilities to meet expected intermediate and long-term increased demand from the aerospace (engine and airframe) and defense, chemical process industry, oil and gas, electrical energy, and medical markets, especially for titanium and titanium-based alloys, nickel-based alloys and superalloys, specialty alloys, and exotic alloys. We currently expect capital expenditures for 2010 to be approximately $250 million, of which $133.2 million was expended in the first nine months of 2010. These self-funded on-going strategic capital investments include:

•

A new advanced specialty metals hot-rolling and processing facility at our existing Brackenridge, PA site. The project is estimated to cost approximately $1.16 billion and take at least four years to complete. Engineering, permitting and site preparation are nearly completed for the facility. Our new advanced hot-rolling and processing facility is designed to be the most powerful mill in the world for production of specialty metals. It is designed to produce exceptional quality, thinner, and wider hot-rolled coils at reduced cost with shorter lead times, and require lower working capital requirements. When completed, we believe ATI’s new advanced specialty metals hot-rolling and processing facility will provide unsurpassed manufacturing capability and versatility in the production of a wide range of flat-rolled specialty metals. We expect improved productivity, lower costs, and higher quality for our diversified product mix of flat-rolled specialty metals, including nickel-based and specialty alloys, titanium and titanium alloys, zirconium alloys, Precision Rolled Strip ^® products, and stainless sheet and coiled plate products. It is designed to roll and process exceptional quality hot bands of up to 78.62 inches, or 2 meters, wide.

•

In connection with the new advanced specialty metals hot-rolling and processing facility, in the third quarter 2010, we completed the integration of our Natrona, PA grain-oriented electrical steel melt shop into ATI’s Brackenridge, PA melt shop. This consolidation is expected to improve the overall productivity of ATI’s flat-rolled grain-oriented electrical steel and other stainless and specialty alloys, and reduce the cost of producing slabs and ingots. We expect to see annual cost savings of approximately $30 million from this consolidation beginning in 2011.

•

We are increasing our capacity to produce zirconium products through capital expansions of zirconium sponge production and VAR melting. This new zirconium sponge and melting capacity better positions ATI for the current and expected strong growth in demand from the nuclear electrical energy and chemical process industry markets. We believe that ATI is now the world’s largest producer of critical reactor grade zirconium sponge for the nuclear energy market.

Debt

At September 30, 2010, we had $1,061.1 million in total outstanding debt, compared to $1,071.1 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $10.0 million. The decrease in debt was primarily due to scheduled debt maturity payments.

During the 2009 second quarter, we issued $350 million of 9.375% unsecured Senior Notes and $402.5 million of 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes. The net proceeds of the debt issuances were used to retire $183.3 million of 8.375% Notes due in 2011 and to make a $350 million voluntary cash contribution to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan, with the balance used for general corporate purposes.

In managing our overall capital structure, some of the measures on which we focus are net debt to total capitalization, which is the percentage of our debt, net of cash that may be available to reduce borrowings, to our total invested and borrowed capital, and total debt to total capitalization, which excludes cash balances. Net debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 23.2% at September 30, 2010, compared to 15.3% at December 31, 2009. The net debt to total capitalization was determined as follows:


($ in millions)	September 30, 2010			December 31, 2009
Total debt	$	1,061.1		$	1,071.1
Less: Cash		(443.3	)		(708.8	)

Net debt	$	617.8		$	362.3

Net ATI total capital	$	2,666.0		$	2,374.5

Net debt to ATI total capital		23.2	%		15.3	%

Total debt to total capitalization decreased to 34.1% at September 30, 2010 from 34.7% December 31, 2009.

We did not borrow funds under our $400 million senior unsecured domestic credit facility during the first nine months of 2010, although approximately $7 million has been utilized to support the issuance of letters of credit. The unsecured facility requires us to maintain a leverage ratio (consolidated total indebtedness net of cash on hand in excess of $50 million, divided by consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash pension expense) of not greater than 3.25, and maintain an interest coverage ratio (consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, and non-cash pension expense divided by interest expense) of not less than 2.0. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2010, our leverage ratio was 1.67, and our interest coverage ratio was 4.85.

We have an additional, separate credit facility for the issuance of letters of credit. As of September 30, 2010, $32 million in letters of credit was outstanding under this facility.

group of banks. This credit facility is supported solely by STAL’s financial capability without any guarantees from the joint venture partners. As of September 30, 2010, there were no borrowings under this credit facility.

Retirement Benefits

At December 31, 2009, the measurement date for ERISA funding, our U.S. qualified pension defined benefit pension plan was essentially fully-funded. Based upon current regulations and actuarial studies, we are not required to make a cash contribution for 2010. However, we may elect, depending upon investment performance of the pension plan assets and other factors, to make additional voluntary cash contributions to this plan in the future.

Dividends

A regular quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share of common stock was declared on September 2, 2010, payable on September 27, 2010 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 16, 2010. The payment of dividends and the amount of such dividends depends upon matters deemed relevant by our Board of Directors, such as our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, any limitations imposed by law, credit agreements or senior securities, and other factors deemed relevant and appropriate.

Critical Accounting Policies

Inventory

At September 30, 2010, we had net inventory of $1,012 million. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out (LIFO), first-in, first-out (FIFO) and average cost methods) or market, less progress payments. Costs include direct material, direct labor and applicable manufacturing and engineering overhead, and other direct costs. Most of our inventory is valued utilizing the LIFO costing methodology. Inventory of our non-U.S. operations is valued using average cost or FIFO methods. Under the LIFO inventory valuation method, changes in the cost of raw materials and production activities are recognized in cost of sales in the current period even though these material and other costs may have been incurred at significantly different values due to the length of time of our production cycle. The prices for many of the raw materials we use have been extremely volatile during the past four years. Since we value most of our inventory utilizing the LIFO inventory costing methodology, a rise in raw material costs has a negative effect on our operating results, while, conversely, a fall in material costs results in a benefit to operating results. For example, in 2009, 2008 and 2007, the effect of falling raw material costs on our LIFO inventory valuation method resulted in cost of sales which were $102.8 million, $169.0 million and $92.1 million, respectively, lower than would have been recognized had we utilized the FIFO methodology to value our inventory. However, in 2006 the effect of increases in raw material costs on our LIFO inventory valuation method resulted in cost of sales which were $197.0 million higher than would have been recognized if we utilized the FIFO methodology to value our inventory. In a period of rising prices, cost of sales expense recognized under LIFO is generally higher than the cash costs incurred to acquire the inventory sold. Conversely, in a period of declining raw material prices, cost of sales recognized under LIFO is generally lower than cash costs incurred to acquire the inventory sold.

Since the LIFO inventory valuation methodology is designed for annual determination, interim estimates of the annual LIFO valuation are required. We recognize the effects of the LIFO inventory valuation method on an interim basis by projecting the expected annual LIFO cost and allocating that projection to the interim quarters equally. These projections of annual LIFO inventory valuation reserve changes are updated quarterly and are evaluated based upon material, labor and overhead costs and projections for such costs at the end of the year plus projections regarding year-end inventory levels. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 included LIFO inventory valuation reserve charges of $35.2 million and $40.7 million, respectively, primarily as a result of the recent and unexpected increase in the cost of nickel.

The LIFO inventory valuation methodology is not utilized by many of the companies with which we compete, including foreign competitors. As such, our results of operations may not be comparable to those of our competitors during periods of volatile material costs due, in part, to the differences between the LIFO inventory valuation method and other acceptable inventory valuation methods.

We evaluate product lines on a quarterly basis to identify inventory values that exceed estimated net realizable value. The calculation of a resulting reserve, if any, is recognized as an expense in the period that the need for the reserve is identified. At September 30, 2010, no significant reserves were required. It is our general policy to write-down to scrap value any inventory that is identified as obsolete and any inventory that has aged or has not moved in

more than twelve months. In some instances this criterion is up to twenty-four months due to the longer manufacturing and distribution process for such products.

Other Critical Accounting Policies

A summary of other significant accounting policies is discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Significant areas of uncertainty that require judgments, estimates and assumptions include the accounting for derivatives, retirement plans, income taxes, environmental and other contingencies as well as asset impairment, inventory valuation and collectibility of accounts receivable. We use historical and other information that we consider to be relevant to make these judgments and estimates. However, actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions that are used to prepare our financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In January 2010, the FASB issued changes to disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, including the amount of transfers between Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the reasons for transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and activity for recurring Level 3 measures. In addition, the changes clarify certain disclosure requirements related to the level at which fair value disclosures should be disaggregated with separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, and the requirement to provide disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities classified as Levels 2 or 3. We adopted the disclosure changes effective January 1, 2010, except for the disaggregated Level 3 rollforward disclosures, which will be effective for fiscal year 2011.

Forward-Looking and Other Statements

From time to time, we have made and may continue to make “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements in this report relate to future events and expectations and, as such, constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include those containing such words as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “would,” “should,” “will,” “will likely result,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “projects,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and include known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which we are unable to predict or control, that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to materially differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include: (a) material adverse changes in economic or industry conditions generally, and global supply and demand conditions and prices for our specialty metals; (b) material adverse changes in the markets we serve, including the aerospace and defense, electrical energy, chemical process industry, oil and gas, medical, automotive, construction and mining and other markets; (c) our inability to achieve the level of cost savings, productivity improvements, synergies, growth or other benefits anticipated by management, including those anticipated from strategic investments, whether due to significant increases in energy, raw materials or employee benefits costs, the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, or other factors; (d) volatility of prices and availability of supply of the raw materials that are critical to the manufacture of our products; (e) declines in the value of our defined benefit pension plan assets or unfavorable changes in laws or regulations that govern pension plan funding; (f) significant legal proceedings or investigations adverse to us; and (g) other risk factors summarized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We assume no duty to update our forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As part of our risk management strategy, we utilize derivative financial instruments, from time to time, to hedge our exposure to changes in raw material prices, energy prices, foreign currencies, and interest rates. We monitor the third-party financial institutions which are our counterparty to these financial instruments on a daily basis and diversify our transactions among counterparties to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. Fair values for

derivatives were measured using exchange-traded prices for the hedged items including consideration of counterparty risk and the Company’s credit risk.

Interest Rate Risk. We attempt to maintain a reasonable balance between fixed- and floating-rate debt to keep financing costs as low as possible. At September 30, 2010, we had approximately $34 million of floating rate debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.3%. Approximately $10 million of this floating rate debt is capped at a 6% maximum interest rate. Since the interest rate on floating rate debt changes with the short-term market rate of interest, we are exposed to the risk that these interest rates may increase, raising our interest expense in situations where the interest rate is not capped. For example, a hypothetical 1% increase in the rate of interest on the $24 million of our outstanding floating rate debt not subjected to a cap would result in increased annual financing costs of approximately $0.2 million.

Volatility of Energy Prices. Energy resources markets are subject to conditions that create uncertainty in the prices and availability of energy resources. The prices for and availability of electricity, natural gas, oil and other energy resources are subject to volatile market conditions. These market conditions often are affected by political and economic factors beyond our control. Increases in energy costs, or changes in costs relative to energy costs paid by competitors, have and may continue to adversely affect our profitability. To the extent that these uncertainties cause suppliers and customers to be more cost sensitive, increased energy prices may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We use approximately 8 to 10 million MMBtu’s of natural gas annually, depending upon business conditions, in the manufacture of our products. These purchases of natural gas expose us to risk of higher gas prices. For example, a hypothetical $1.00 per MMBtu increase in the price of natural gas would result in increased annual energy costs of approximately $8 to $10 million. We use several approaches to minimize any material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations from volatile energy prices. These approaches include incorporating an energy surcharge on many of our products and using financial derivatives to reduce exposure to energy price volatility.

At September 30, 2010, the outstanding financial derivatives used to hedge our exposure to energy cost volatility included both natural gas and electricity hedges. For natural gas, approximately 75% of our forecasted domestic requirements are hedged through 2011, and about 15% of our domestic requirements are hedged for 2012. The net mark-to-market valuation of these outstanding natural gas hedges at September 30, 2010 was an unrealized pre-tax loss of $23.1 million, of which $18.7 million was presented in accrued liabilities on the balance sheet, $4.5 million presented in other long-term liabilities, and $0.1 million as assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the effects of natural gas hedging activity increased cost of sales by $12.2 million. For electricity usage in our Western Pennsylvania operations, we have hedged approximately 45% of our on-peak and off-peak forecasted requirements for 2011 and approximately 30% for 2012. The net mark-to-market valuation of the electricity hedges was an unrealized pre-tax loss of $3.0 million, of which $1.6 million is presented in accrued liabilities on the balance sheet and $1.4 is million presented in other long-term liabilities. The effects of the hedging activity will be recognized in income over the designated hedge periods.

Volatility of Raw Material Prices. We use raw materials surcharge and index mechanisms to offset the impact of increased raw material costs; however, competitive factors in the marketplace can limit our ability to institute such mechanisms, and there can be a delay between the increase in the price of raw materials and the realization of the benefit of such mechanisms. For example, in 2009 we used approximately 60 million pounds of nickel; therefore a hypothetical change of $1.00 per pound in nickel prices would result in increased costs of approximately $60 million. In addition, in 2009 we also used approximately 600 million pounds of ferrous scrap in the production of our flat-rolled products and a hypothetical change of $0.01 per pound would result in increased costs of approximately $6 million. While we enter into raw materials futures contracts from time-to-time to hedge exposure to price fluctuations, such as for nickel, we cannot be certain that our hedge position adequately reduces exposure. We believe that we have adequate controls to monitor these contracts, but we may not be able to accurately assess exposure to price volatility in the markets for critical raw materials.

The majority of our products are sold utilizing raw material surcharges and index mechanisms. However as of September 30, 2010, we had entered into financial hedging arrangements primarily at the request of our customers related to firm orders for approximately 4% of our total annual nickel requirements, primarily with settlements in 2010. A minor amount of nickel hedges extend into 2014. Any gain or loss associated with these hedging arrangements is included in cost of sales. At September 30, 2010, the net mark-to-market valuation of our outstanding raw material hedges was an unrealized pre-tax gain of $9.3 million, comprised of $8.7 million included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $0.7 million in other long-term assets, and $0.1 million in accrued liabilities on the balance sheet.

Foreign Currency Risk. Foreign currency exchange contracts are used, from time-to-time, to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency exchange rates. We sometimes purchase foreign currency forward contracts that permit us to sell specified amounts of foreign currencies expected to be received from our export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. The forward contracts are denominated in the same foreign currencies in which export sales are denominated. These contracts are designated as hedges of the variability in cash flows of a portion of the forecasted future export sales transactions which otherwise would expose the Company to foreign currency risk. We may also enter into foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedges, which are denominated in the same foreign currency in which export sales are denominated. At September 30, 2010, the outstanding financial derivatives, including both hedges and undesignated derivatives, that are used to manage our exposure to foreign currency, primarily euros, represented approximately 15% of our forecasted total international sales through 2011. In addition, we may also designate cash balances held in foreign currencies as hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions. At September 30, 2010, the net mark-to-market valuation of the outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was a net asset of $1.9 million, of which $5.8 million is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $2.3 million in other long-term assets, $2.8 million in accrued liabilities, and $3.4 million in other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2010, and they concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2010, conducted by our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

A number of lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its business, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, government contract work, employment, employee benefits, taxes, environmental, health and safety, occupational disease, and stockholder matters. Certain of such lawsuits, claims and proceedings are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and addressed in Note 12 to the unaudited interim financial statements included herein. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations for that period.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
