For example, ATI 718Plus® nickel-based superalloy, Rene 65 near-powder superalloy,markets, and our powderseveral of the alloys we produce have won significant share in the current and next-generation jet engines. ATI’s metallic powder technology delivers alloy compositions and refined microstructures that offer increased performance and longer useful lives in high-temperature aerospace environments, as well as improvingimproves the efficiency of jet engines. Our metallic powder products deliver the most uniform grain structure achievable in near-net shapes. We continue to increase our production capacity for advanced metallic powders for use in next-generation aerospace products, including additive manufacturing applications. In 2018, we acquired the assets of Addaero Manufacturing, a metal alloy-based additive manufacturer, to expand ATI’s capabilities to provide comprehensive customer solutions ranging from the design of parts for additive manufacturing to the production of ready-to-install components.
Energy. We recently expanded our nickel-based and titanium-based powder manufacturing capabilities in North Carolina.
Oil & Gas. The environments in which oil & gas can be found in commercial quantities have become more challenging, involving deep offshore wells, high pressure and high temperature conditions in sour wells and unconventional sources, such as shalealso serve energy markets, including specialty energy, oil & gas and oil sands. These challenging offshore environments are located further off the continental shelf, including locations in arctic and tropical waters where drilling is more difficult than previously-sourced locations. They are often more than one mile below the water’s surface, and up to two miles below the ocean floor. We enable our customer’s success in these applications by developing and producing specialty materials for equipment that can operate for up to 30 years in these harsh environments.downstream processing markets.
Both of our business segments produce specialty materials that are critical to the oil & gas industry. Our specialty materials, including nickel-based alloys, stainless and duplex alloys, and other specialty alloys, have the strength and corrosion-resistant properties necessary to meet these challenging operating conditions. Several of our strip, plate and cast products meet NORSOK qualification standards, which are developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry and are intended to identify materials used in oil and gas applications that are safe and cost-effective.
Energy.Our specialty materials are widely used in the global electrical power generation and distribution industries. We believe clean energy needs, expanding environmental policies and the electrification of developing countries will continue to drive demand for our specialty materials and products for use in this industrythese industries over the long term.
For electrical power generation, our specialty materials, including corrosion-resistant alloys (CRAs), are used in coal, nuclear, and natural gas and other fuel source applications. In coal-fired plants, ourOur CRAs are used for pipe, tube, and heat exchanger applications in water systems and in pollution control scrubbers. Our CRAs are also used in water systems, fuel cladding components, and process equipment for nuclear power plants. For nuclear power plants, we are an industry pioneer in producing nuclear reactor fuel cladding and structural components utilizing zirconium and hafnium alloys. We are a technology leader for large diameter components used in natural gas land-based turbines for power generation. Our alloys are also used for alternative energy generation, in solar, fuel cell and geothermal applications.

These companies, and their suppliers, form a substantial part of our customer base in this business segment. We have long-term agreements (LTAs) in place with most major aerospace market OEMs. The loss of one or more of our customers in the aerospace &or defense markets could have a material adverse effect on ATI’s results of operations and financial condition (see Item 1A. Risk Factors).
In 2019, we extended supply agreements with GE Aviation that are expected to generate $2.5 billion in revenues and which begin in January 2021 and are multi-year agreements. Also in 2019, we extendedWithin this segment, our long-term agreement through 2029 with Rolls-Royce to supply rotating disc quality specialty materials for their Trent engine family.  This agreement covers the production of a wide-range of critical products used to make Rolls-Royce’s next-generation jet engines as well as spare parts for in-service engines.

These materials are made into a variety of product forms that include precision forgings, machined parts and others. We are integrated across these alloy systems in melt, forging, finishing, testing and machining processes. Most of the products in this segment are sold directly to end-use customers, and a significantsubstantial portion of our HPMC segment products are sold under multi-year agreements.
Principal competitors in the HPMC segment include: Berkshire Hathaway Inc., for nickel-based alloys and superalloys and specialty steel alloys, titanium and titanium-based alloys, and precision forgings through its ownership of Precision Castparts Corporation and subsidiaries; ArconicHowmet Aerospace Inc., for titanium and titanium-based alloys and precision forgings through its ownership of RTI International Metals, Inc. and Firth Rixson;alloys; Carpenter Technology Corporation for legacy nickel-based alloys and superalloys and specialty steel alloys; VSMPO-AVISMA for titanium and titanium-based alloys; and Aubert & Duval for precision forgings.
Flat Rolled ProductsAdvanced Alloys & Solutions Segment
Our FRPAA&S segment produces nickel-based alloys, specialty alloys, titanium and titanium-based alloys, and stainless steelspecialty alloys in a variety of forms including plate, sheet, engineered strip, and Precision Rolled Strip®PRS products. The major end markets for our flat-rolledflat rolled products are oil & gas,energy, aerospace & defense, automotive, food processing equipment and appliances, construction & mining, electronics communication equipment and computers.markets. The operations in this segment include our Flat Rolled ProductsSRP business, our Specialty Alloys & Components business and the Chinese joint venture company known as Shanghai STAL Precision Stainless Steel Company Limited (STAL), PRS joint venture in China, in which we hold a 60% interest. Segment results also include our 50% interest in the Uniti industrial titanium joint venture known as Uniti LLC and our 50% interest in Alleghenythe A&T Stainless joint venture.
Significant global overcapacity for stainless flat-rolled products has intensified the price competition in the AA&S segment over the last several years, despite various anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed by the United States government in various forms since 1999. On December 2, 2020, we announced a strategic repositioning of our SRP business, which included exiting production of lower-margin standard stainless sheet products, streamlining the production footprint of the AA&S segment and making certain capital investments to increase its focus on higher-margin products and its aerospace & Tsingshandefense end markets. Additionally, in 2022, we announced the termination of the Uniti joint venture, which is expected to be dissolved in early 2023, and in 2020, we indefinitely idled the manufacturing operations of the A&T Stainless (A&T Stainless).

PRS products, which are under 0.015 inches thick, are used by customers to fabricate a variety of products primarily in the automotive construction, and electronics markets. In 2019,2022, approximately 90%85% of these products by volume were sold directly to end-use customers or through our own distribution network, with the remainder sold to independent service centers. In 2018,
Competitors for nickel-based alloys and superalloys and specialty alloys include Haynes International and VDM Metals GmbH, a subsidiary of Acerinox S.A. We have exited the domestic commodity stainless sheet business, where we completed the construction of our third Precision Rolled Strip manufacturing facility at our STAL joint venture in China.
Nickel-based alloy, titanium, and stainless steel plate products are primarily used in aerospace & defense, and corrosion and industrial markets. In 2019, approximately 65% of our plate products by volume were sold to independent service centers,previously competed with the remainder sold directly to end-use customers.
Competition in the FRP segment includes domestic stainless steel competitors North American Stainless, a subsidiary of Acerinox S.A., Outokumpu Stainless USA, LLC, and AK Steel Corporation,Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., as well as imports from numerous foreign producers, including Aperam, based in Europe. Competitors for nickel-based alloys and superalloys and specialty steel alloys include Haynes International and VDM Metals GmbH.
We have taken important stepscontinue efforts toward improving the capacity utilization of our HRPF with the agreementHot-Rolling and Processing Facility (HRPF) in Brackenridge, PA for carbon steel hot-rolling third-party conversion services, with NLMK USA, which was extended and expanded in 2019 for one year through December 2020, as well as with the A&T Stainless joint venture2022 we entered into additional LTAs to manufacture 60” wide stainless sheet. In late March 2018, ATI filed for an exclusion from the Section 232 tariffs on behalf of A&T Stainless, which imports semi-finished stainless slab products from Indonesia. In April 2019, we learned that this exclusion request was denied by the U.S. Department of Commerce. ATI filed a new request on behalf of A&T Stainless for exclusion from the Section 232 tariffs in October 2019, and A&T Stainless continues to be subject to the 25% tariff levied on its imports of semi-finished stainless slab products from Indonesia pending the outcome of the October 2019 request. Results of A&T Stainless have been and will continue to be negatively impacted byprovide these tariffs on imported stainless slab products. The joint venture partners have continued to evaluate longer-term solutions to return this strategic initiative to profitability, and determined during the fourth quarter of 2019 that idling the Midland, PA facility is probable if a near-term tariff exclusion is not received.
Significant global overcapacity for stainless steel flat-rolled products has intensified the price competition in the FRP segment over the last several years. Some of our foreign competitors are either directly or indirectly subsidized by governments. In 1999, the United States imposed anti-dumping and countervailing duties on unfairly low-priced and subsidized imports of stainless steel sheet and strip in coils and stainless steel plate in coils from companies in ten foreign countries. The anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders were reviewed in 2011 by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission to determine whether the orders should remain in place for another five years.  The agencies decided that eight such orders against five countries would continue in effect. In July 2016, the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission initiated a third review of the eight orders. The four orders covering imports of stainless steel plate in coils from three countries were continued for an additional five years in December 2016. In October 2017, the U.S. Department of Commerce published a notice continuing for an additional five years four orders covering imports of stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from three countries.
Additionally, in February 2016, ATI and the three domestic stainless steel competitors filed antidumping and countervailing duty petitions concurrently with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S International Trade Commission, charging that unfairly traded imports of stainless steel sheet and strip from the People’s Republic of China are causing material injury to the domestic stainless steel industry. In February 2017, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued its final determinations, calculating antidumping duties ranging from 64% and 77% percent and countervailing duties ranging from 76% and 191%. These duties are generally applied in combination. The U.S. International Trade Commission reached a unanimous affirmative determination in early March 2017. The antidumping duties and subsidy margins, which have remained unchanged since the Commerce Department published the unfair trade orders in April 2017, are expected to act as a significant deterrent to the illegal dumping of Chinese government-subsidized imports of stainless steel sheet and strip into the U.S. market. We continue to monitor imports from foreign producers for appropriate action, including whether imports entering the U.S. are circumventing or evading the anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders that are being enforced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Department of Commerce.services.
Raw Materials and Supplies
Substantially all raw materials and supplies required in the manufacture of our products are available from more than one supplier, and the sources and availability of raw materials essential to our businesses are currently adequate. The principal raw materials we use in the production of our specialty materials are scrap (including iron-, nickel-, chromium-, titanium-, and molybdenum-bearing scrap), nickel, titanium sponge, zirconium sand and sponge, ferrochromium, ferrosilicon, molybdenum

and molybdenum alloys, manganese and manganese alloys, cobalt, niobium, vanadium and other alloying materials. While we enter into raw materials futures contracts from time-to-timetime 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.
Over the last several years, significant global capacity has been added to produce titanium sponge, which is a key raw material used to produce ATI’s titanium products. ATI has entered into long-term cost competitive supply agreements with several producers of premium-grade and standard-grade titanium sponge.
OtherSome raw materials, such as nickel, cobalt, and ferrochromium, are available to us and our specialty materials industry competitors primarily from foreign sources. Some of these foreign sources are located in countries that may be subject to unstable political and economic conditions, which could disrupt supplies or affect the price of these materials.
We purchase our nickel requirements principally from producers in Australia, Canada, Norway, Russia, and the Dominican Republic. ZirconiumWe purchase zirconium raw materials are primarily purchaseddomestically and also from the United States andproducers in China. Cobalt is purchased primarily from producers in Canada. More than 80% of the world’s reserves of ferrochromium are located in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Albania, and Kazakhstan. Niobium is purchased principally from producers in Brazil, and our titanium sponge comes from sources in Japan and Kazakhstan.
Certain key supplies used in melting and other processing operations, such as graphite electrodes and industrial gases including helium and argon, are from time-to-time limited in availability and may be subject to significant price inflation. We enter into long-term supply contracts where possible to ensure an adequate supply of these items,products, however, overall industry shortages may impact our operations and scheduling.
Export Sales and Foreign Operations
International sales represent approximately 40%42% of our total annual sales, with direct export sales by our U.S.-based operations to customers in foreign countries accounting for approximately 30%32% of our total sales. Our overseas sales, marketing and distribution efforts are aided by our international marketing and distribution offices, ATI Europe, ATI Europe Distribution, and ATI Asia, or by independent representatives at various locations throughout the world. We believe that at least 50% of ATI’s 20192022 sales were driven by global markets when we consider exports of our customers.
Our HPMC segment has manufacturing capabilities for melting, remelting, forging and finishing nickel-based alloys and specialty alloys in the United Kingdom, and manufacturing capabilities for precision forging and machining in Poland, primarily serving the aerospace, construction & mining and transportation markets. In 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Sheffield, UK operations, which included facilities for melting and re-melting, machining and bar mill operations, and was part of the HPMC segment. Within our FRPAA&S segment, our STAL joint venture in the People’s Republic of China produces Precision Rolled Stripmakes PRS products, which enables us to offer these products more effectively to markets in China and other Asian countries. Our Uniti LLC joint venture allows us to offer titanium products to global industrial markets more effectively.
Backlog, Seasonality and Cyclicality
Our backlog of confirmed orders was approximately $2.3$2.9 billion at December 31, 20192022 and $2.2$2.1 billion at December 31, 2018.2021. We expect that approximately 80% of confirmed orders on hand at December 31, 20192022 will be filled during the year ending December 31, 2020.2023. Our HPMC’s segmentHPMC segment’s backlog of confirmed orders was approximately $2.1$2.3 billion at December 31, 20192022 and $2.0$1.6 billion at December 31, 2018.2021. We expect that approximately 80%75% of the confirmed orders on hand at December 31, 20192022 for this segment will be filled during the year ending December 31, 2020.2023. Our FRP’s segmentAA&S segment’s backlog of confirmed orders was approximately $0.2$0.6 billion at December 31, 20192022 and 2018.$0.5 billion at December 31, 2021. We expect that allnearly 100% of the confirmed orders on hand at December 31, 20192022 for this segment will be filled during the year ending December 31, 2020.2023.

Demand for our products is cyclical over longer periods because specialty materials customers operate in cyclical industries and are subject to changes in general economic conditions and other factors both external and internal to those industries. TheHistorically, the HPMC segment typically experienceshas experienced modest seasonal weakness in the third quarter of each fiscal year due to many European customers, particularly in the aerospace supply chain, taking plant outages during this summer period. ATI also typically performs corresponding annual preventative maintenance outages at several facilities during this same period.

Cybersecurity
The Company recognizes the increasing significance that cybersecurity has to our operations and the need to continually assess cybersecurity risk and evolve our response in the face of a rapidly and ever-changing environment. We have both a Chief Digital and Information Officer and, to enhance an already comprehensive cybersecurity program, a Chief Information Security Officer to lead our efforts to address and mitigate digital technology risks in partnership with ATI’s business leaders.
In 2022, the need to ensure cybersecurity while enabling a comprehensive and highly reliable remote working environment for a significant portion of our workforce continued to be a central component of our strategy. Throughout 2022, special attention was and continues to be given to improving and implementing Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification controls in support of protecting ATI’s technology and customer data.
Additionally, we have a robust Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan which provides a documented framework for handling high severity security incidents and facilitates coordination across multiple parts of the Company. We routinely perform simulations and drills at both a technical and management level. We incorporate external expertise and reviews in all aspects of our program, and all personnel receive regular cybersecurity awareness training.
As part of its program of regular oversight, the Company’s Audit & Risk Committee is responsible for overseeing ATI’s cybersecurity risk. The Audit & Risk Committee receives quarterly reports from the Chief Digital and Information Officer and the Chief Information Security Officer on ATI’s cybersecurity risk profile and enterprise cybersecurity program.
Research, Development and Technical Services
We believe that our research and development capabilities give ATI an advantage in developing new products and manufacturing processes that contribute to the long-term profitable growth potential of our businesses. We conduct research and development at our various operating locations both for our own account and, on a limited basis, for customers on a contract basis. Research and development expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018,2022, 2021, and 20172020 included the following:

Our research, development and technical service activities are closely interrelated and are directed toward development of new products, improvement of existing products, cost reduction, process improvement and control, quality assurance and control, development of new manufacturing methods, and improvement of existing manufacturing methods. The increased activity in 20192022 and 20182021 was largely related to materials and manufacturing methods for products supporting the aerospace & defense markets. The lower expenditures in 2020 are reflective of weakened market conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We own hundreds of United States patents, many of which are also filed under the patent laws of other nations. Although these patents, as well as our numerous trademarks, technical information, license agreements, and other intellectual property, have been and are expected to be of value, we believe that the loss of any single such item or technically related group of such items would not materially affect the conduct of our business.
Environmental, Health and Safety Matters
We are 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 we investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. We could incur substantial cleanup costs, fines, civil or criminal sanctions, third party property damage or personal injury claims as a result of violations or liabilities under these laws or non-compliancenon-

compliance with environmental permits required at our facilities. We are currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of our current and former sites as well as third party sites.
We consider environmental compliance to be an integral part of our operations. We have a comprehensive environmental management and reporting program that focuses on compliance with applicable federal, state, regional and local environmental laws and regulations. Each operating company has an environmental management system that includes mechanisms for regularly evaluating environmental compliance and managing changes in business operations while assessing environmental impact.
Human Capital Management
We believe that our people and culture are a competitive differentiator. Attracting, developing and retaining purpose and performance driven leaders who build teams with diverse, empowered and fulfilled employees who want to stay and grow with the company is foundational to our vision. At the center of our commitment to excellence are our values which drive how we succeed: Accountability, Integrity, Innovation, Safety & Sustainability, and Teamwork & Respect.
We continuously strive to cultivate and support a highly engaged and productive workforce. As a result, management focuses on a number of human capital strategies and objectives, including the following:
Inclusion and Diversity: We believe our business success is intricately tied to cultivating a culture in which all members of our workforce are included and empowered to do their best work. Employing people from different backgrounds, cultures and experiences, amplifies our ability to gather insights and foster innovation.
Our diversity recruitment strategy includes participation in national diversity conferences, having strong partnerships with universities and student chapters of diversity organizations, and selecting providers who align with our values of having a diverse workforce. We have an enterprise-wide goal that 80% of position candidate slates include a minimum of 30% diverse candidates.
ATI’s employee-led IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility) Council, which originated within our Specialty Alloys & Components (SA&C) business, tracks best practices with regard to diversity and inclusion initiatives within our industry and the markets we serve and makes recommendations regarding these matters, both within SA&C and to the broader business. We also offer employees the opportunity to join Employee Resource Groups (“ERG”). These groups foster professional development, social connectivity, community involvement, and celebrate diversity throughout our company.
We recognize the benefits and importance of diversity amongst our board and management. Women make up 30% of our Board, and 20% are racially diverse, while more than 40% of the members of our Executive Council are women or minorities.
Governance: Our Corporate Guidelines for Business Conduct and Ethics address compliance with environmental laws as well as employment and workplace safety laws, and also describe our commitment to equal opportunity and fair treatment of employees.
Health & Safety: Safety is one of our core values. We continuedstrive for a Zero Injury Culture committed to focus onthe safety across ATI’sof our people, our products, and the communities in which we operate. Our 2022 OSHA Total Recordable Incident Rate was 1.22 per 200,000 hours and our Lost Time Case Rate was 0.38 per 200,000 hours, which we believe to be competitive with world-class performance for our industry. Nearly 100% of our domestic employees are reporting to an ATI facility that has achieved their OSHAS 45001 certification. We expect that the balance of our operations during 2019.will be OSHAS 45001 certified by 2025.
EmployeesOur Corporate Guidelines for Business Conduct and Ethics address employment and workplace safety laws and describe our commitment to equal opportunity and fair treatment of employees.
Development and Employee Engagement: Developing talent and leaders at all levels of the organization and engaging our employees is critical to our long-term success. We have early career, leadership and management development programs as well as broad learning opportunities for our employees to support their career growth and advance their skills. We maintain a formal talent review process to work in connection with performance management for systematic career development and succession planning at both the individual employee and enterprise levels.
We engage in continuous listening by actively seeking opportunities for regular engagement and communication by our CEO and other senior executive leaders with our broader employee population. Annually, we conduct a confidential company-wide employee engagement survey that offers our employees the ability to provide feedback and valuable insight to identify opportunities for improvement and support employee engagement and our overall human capital strategy.
Compensation and Benefits: We provide market-based competitive compensation through our salary, annual incentive and long-term incentive programs and robust benefits packages that promote employee well-being across all aspects of their lives. Eligible employees are compensated for their contributions to our goals with both short-term cash incentives and long-term equity-based incentives. We believe the structure of our compensation packages provides the appropriate incentives to attract, retain and motivate our employees.

The Personnel and Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and administering the policies governing annual compensation and long-term compensation to ensure the policies are designed to align compensation with our overall business strategy and performance to link to the interests of our stockholders.
Labor Relations and Collective Bargaining: We have approximately 8,100 full-time6,700 active employees, of which approximately 17%about 15% are located outside the United States. Approximately 40%35% of our workforce is covered by various collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), predominantly with the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied & Industrial Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC (USW). The Company has CBAsCompany’s CBA with the USW involving approximately 1,5001,100 active full-time employees that expire on February 29, 2020 involving USW-representedrepresented employees located primarily within the Flat Rolled ProductsAA&S segment operations, and at two facilitiesas well as a number of inactive employees, expired on February 28, 2021. USW-represented employees continued to work under the terms of the expired CBA until March 30, 2021 when they engaged in a strike. On July 14, 2021, ATI announced that a new four-year labor agreement with the High Performance Materials & Components segment.

USW was ratified, ending the strike. The Company has no significant CBAs that expire in 2023.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
There are inherent risks and uncertainties associated with our business that could adversely affect our operating performance and financial condition. Set forth below are descriptions of those risks and uncertainties that we currently believe to be material, but the risks and uncertainties described are not the only risks and uncertainties that could affect our business. See the discussion under “Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
RISKS RELATED TO CYCLICAL NATURE OF OUR BUSINESS
Cyclical Demand for Products. The cyclical nature of the industries in which our customers operate causes demand for our products to be cyclical, creating potential uncertainty regarding future profitability. Various changes in general economic conditions may affect the industries in which our customers operate. These changes could include decreases in the rate of consumption or use of our customers’ products due to economic downturns. Other factors that may cause fluctuation in our customers’ positions are changes in market demand, lower overall pricing due to domestic and international overcapacity, currency fluctuations, lower priced imports and increases in use or decreases in prices of substitute materials. As a result of these factors, our profitability has been and may in the future be subject to significant fluctuation.
Risks Associated with the Commercial Aerospace Industry. A significant portion of theour sales of our HPMC segment representsrepresent products sold to customers in the commercial aerospace industry. Fulfilling contractual arrangements to provide various products to customers in this industry often involves meeting highly exacting performance requirements and product specifications, and our failure to meet those requirements and specifications on a timely and cost efficient basis could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business and financial condition. The commercial aerospace industry has historically been cyclical due to factors both external and internal to the airline industry. These factors include general economic conditions, airline profitability, consumer demand for air travel, varying fuel and labor costs, changes in projected build rates, (including, e.g., the ongoing suspension in production of the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft), price competition, and international and domestic political conditions such as military conflict and the threat of terrorism. The length and degree of cyclical fluctuation are influenced by these factors and therefore are difficult to predict with certainty. Demand for our products particularly those produced in our HPMC segment, is subject to these cyclical trends. Although the commercial aerospace industry is currently experiencing a period of production expansion related to the introduction of next-generation enginesCyclical and aircraft, we cannot provide any assurance as to the ultimate magnitude or duration of this trend or its impact on our business. A downturnevent-driven downturns in the commercial aerospace industry hashave had, and may in the future have, an adverse effect on the prices at which we are able to sell our products, and our results of operations, business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Associated with the Oil & Gas Industry. The oil and& gas industry, which historically has been a significant end market for both our HPMC and FRP segments,ATI, is highly cyclical and subject to volatility as a result of worldwide economic activity and associated demand for oil and natural gas, anticipated future prices for oil and natural gas, fluctuation in the level of drilling activity, changes in applicable regulation, global geopolitical conditions and numerous other factors. Demand for our products areis likewise subject to these trends. Intrends, and in recent years, our business has at times been negatively impacted by the downturn and slow recovery indepressed demand from the oil and& gas industry. While we believeWe expect that conditions in this end market are improving, and we are beginning to see positive impacts on our business as a result, we expect that it will remain a highly cyclical industry, and future downturns could have an adverse effect on the prices at which we are able to sell our products, and our results of operations, business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Volatility of Raw Material Costs. Most of our inventory is valued utilizing the last-in, first-out (LIFO) costing methodology. Inventory of our non-U.S. operations is valued using average cost or first-in, first-out (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. 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. Generally, over time

based on overall inflationary trends in raw materials, labor and overhead costs, the use of the LIFO inventory valuation method will result in a LIFO inventory valuation reserve, as the higher current period costs are included in cost of sales and the balance sheet carrying value of inventory is reduced.
The prices for many of the raw materials we use have been volatile during the past several years. Since we value most of our inventory utilizing the LIFO inventory costing methodology, a fall in raw material costs results in a benefit to operating results by reducing cost of sales and increasing the inventory carrying value, while conversely, a rise in raw material costs has a negative effect on our operating results by increasing cost of sales while lowering the carrying value of inventory.
Due primarily to persistent raw material deflation in prior years, we are in an unusual situation of having a LIFO inventory balance that exceeds replacement cost. In cases where inventory at FIFO cost is lower than the LIFO carrying value, a write-down of the inventory to market may be required, subject to a lower of cost or market evaluation. In applying the lower of cost or market principle, market means current replacement cost, subject to a ceiling (market value shall not exceed net realizable value) and a floor (market shall not be less than net realizable value reduced by an allowance for a normal profit margin). 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.
Due to the long lead times required to manufacture many of our products, volatility in raw material prices exposes us to cash costs that may not be fully recovered through surcharge and index pricing mechanisms.
Product Pricing. From time-to-time, reduced demand, intense competition and excess manufacturing capacity have resulted in reduced prices, excluding raw material surcharges, for many of our products. These factors have had and may have an adverse impact on our revenues, operating results and financial condition.
Although Recently, inflationary trends, in recent years have been moderate, during most of the same period, certain critical raw material costs, such as nickel, titanium sponge, cobalt, chromium, and molybdenum and scrap containing iron, nickel, titanium, chromium, and molybdenum have been volatile. While we have been able to mitigate some of the adverse impact of volatile raw material costs through various means, including raw material surcharges or indices to customers, rapid changes in raw material costs causescause volatility in, and may adversely affect, our results of operations.
We change prices on certain of our products from time-to-time. TheOur ability to implement price increases is dependent on market conditions, economic factors, raw material costs and availability, competitive factors, operating costs and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. TheAs such, we may be unable to implement price increases to the degree or within the time frame necessary to fully mitigate the impact of inflationary trends or at all, and the benefits of any price increases may be delayed due to long manufacturing lead times and the terms of existing contracts.
Export Sales and International Trade Matters.Risks Associated with Key Customers. We believe that export sales will continuehave long-term contracts with certain of our customers, some of which are subject to account forrenewal, renegotiation or re-pricing at periodic intervals or upon changes in competitive supply conditions. Our failure to successfully renew, renegotiate or favorably re-price such agreements, or a material deterioration in or termination of these or other key customer relationships, could result in a reduction or loss in customer purchase revenue. Additionally, a significant percentage of our future revenues. We also import certain raw materials, and recently formed, together with an affiliate company of Tsingshan Group, our A&T Stainless joint venture, which imports semi-finished stainless steel slab products from Indonesia to support its U.S. production of finished 60-inch wide stainless steel sheet products for sale in North America. Risks associated with such international trade include, among others: political and economic instability, including weak conditionsdownturn or deterioration in the world’s economies; accounts receivable collection; export controls; trade sanctions, changes in legal and regulatory requirements; policy changes affecting the markets for our products; changes in tax laws; and exchange rate fluctuations (which may affect sales to international customers and the valuebusiness or financial condition or loss of profits earned on export sales when converted into dollars). Any of these factorsa key customer could materially adversely affect our results for the period in which they occur.
Additionally, changes in international trade duties and other aspects of international trade policy, both in the U.S. and abroad, could materiallynegatively impact our business. For example, in March 2018,Our customers may change their business strategies or modify their business relationships with us, including to reduce the U.S. imposed an additional 25% tariff under Section 232amount of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, on steel products, including stainless steel, imported into the U.S. Currently, the semi-finished stainless steel slabs that our A&T Stainless joint venture imports from Indonesia are subject to the additional tariff. The A&T Stainless joint venture filed for exclusions from the 232 tariff based on the nature of the imported product, its country of origin, and its lack of availability in the U.S. However, in April 2019, the U.S. Commerce Department denied the joint venture’s original exclusion request. On October 15, 2019, the A&T Stainless joint venture filed a new exclusion request, but that request remains pending. Consequently the joint venture continues to be subject to the 25% tariff levied on its imports of semi-finished stainless steel slab products from Indonesia, which are continuing to negatively impact the joint venture’s results. There can be no assurance that the joint venture will be successful in its efforts to obtain an exclusion for the products that it intends to import, or that its operations and results will not continue to be impacted by the imposition of these tariffs. For the fourth quarter of 2019, ATI recorded an $11.4 million impairment charge for the A&T Stainless joint venture, including ATI’s share of a long-lived asset impairment charge recognized by the joint venture on the carrying value of its production facility in Midland, PA.


Moreover, these new tariffs, or other changes in U.S. trade policy, have resulted in, and may continue to trigger, retaliatory actions by affected countries. Certain foreign governments have instituted or are considering imposing trade sanctions on certain U.S. goods. Others are considering the imposition of sanctions that will deny U.S. companies access to critical raw materials. A “trade war” of this nature or other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements or policies has the potential to adversely impact demand for our products our costs, customers,they purchase or to switch to alternative suppliers, and/or the U.S. economy or certain sectors thereof and, thus, to adversely impact our businesses.
Goodwill or Long-Lived Asset Impairments. We have various long-lived assets that are subject to impairment testing. We review the recoverabilityas a result of goodwill annually, or more frequently whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded goodwill of a reporting unit may be below that reporting unit’s fair value. Our businesses operate in highly cyclical industries, such as commercial aerospace and oil & gas, and as such, our estimates of future cash flows, market demand, the cost of capital, and forecasted growth rates and other factors may fluctuate, which may lead to changes in estimated fair value and, therefore, impairment charges in future periods. For the 2019 annual goodwill impairment evaluation, both of our reporting units with goodwill had fair values that were significantly in excess of carrying value. Additionally, we have a significant amount of property, plant and equipment and acquired intangible assets that may be subject to impairment testing, depending on factors such as market conditions, the demand for our products, and facility utilization levels. Any determination requiring the impairment of a significant portion of goodwill or other long-lived assets has had, and may in the future have, a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Associated with Strategic Capital Projects and Maintenance Activities. From time-to-time, we undertake strategic capital projects in order to enhance, expand and/or upgrade our facilities and operational capabilities. Our ability to achieve the anticipated increased revenues or otherwise realize acceptable returns on these investments or other strategic capital projects that weoperations may undertake is subject to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control, including a variety of market, operational, permitting, and labor-related factors. In addition, the cost to implement any given strategic capital project ultimately may prove to be greater than originally anticipated. If we are not able to achieve the anticipated results from the implementation of any of our strategic capital projects, or if we incur unanticipated implementation costs or delays, our results of operations and financial position may be materially adversely affected.
Additionally, we periodically undertake maintenance activities, routine or otherwise, involving facilities and pieces of equipment that are key to our operations, and it is possible that unanticipated maintenance needs, or unanticipated circumstances arising in connection with planned maintenance activities could result in equipment outages that are longer, or costs that exceed, those originally anticipated. Significant repair delays or unanticipated costs associated with these activities could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
RISKS RELATED TO THE RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES THAT WE USE
Dependence on Critical Raw Materials Subject to Price and Availability Fluctuations.Fluctuations. We rely to a substantial extent on third parties to supply certain raw materials that are critical to the manufacture of our products. Purchase prices and availability of these critical items are subject to volatility.volatility, and in some cases, we have supply arrangements with only a limited number of suppliers for a given material. At any given time, we may be unable to obtain an adequate supply of these critical raw materials on a timely basis, on price and other terms acceptable to us, or at all.
If suppliers increase the price of critical raw materials, we may not have alternative sources of supply. In addition, to the extent that we have quoted prices to customers and accepted customer orders for products prior to purchasing necessary raw materials, or have existing contracts, we may be unable to raise the price of products to cover all or part of the increased cost of the raw materials. The prices for many of the raw materials we use have been volatile during the past several years. Due to the long lead times required to manufacture many of our products, volatility in raw material prices exposes us to cash costs that may not be fully recovered through surcharge and index pricing mechanisms.
The manufacture of some of our products is a complex process and requires long lead times. As a result, we may experience delays or shortages in the supply of raw materials. In particular, we acquire certain important raw materials that we use to produce specialty materials, including nickel, zirconium, niobium, chromium, cobalt, vanadium and titanium sponge, from foreign sources. Some of these sources operate in countries that may be subject to unstable political and economic conditions. For example, we source both nickel and chromium from Russian sources that could be impacted by current events involving Russia and the Ukraine and any U.S. or other international economic sanctions or other actions in response. These or similar conditions may disrupt supplies or affect the prices of the materials that are necessary to our operations. If unable to obtain adequate and timely deliveries of required raw materials, we may be unable to timely manufacture sufficient quantities of products. This could cause us to lose sales, incur additional costs, delay new product introductions, or suffer harm to our reputation.
We acquire certain important raw materials that we useThe ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Since February of 2022, Russia and Ukraine have been engaged in active armed conflict. The length, impact, and outcome of the ongoing conflict and its potential impact on our business is highly volatile and difficult to produce specialty materials,predict. It has and could continue
10


to cause significant market and other disruptions, including nickel, zirconium, niobium, chromium, cobalt,significant volatility in commodity prices and titanium sponge, from foreign sources. Somesupply of these sources operateenergy resources, instability in countries that may be subject to unstablefinancial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and economic conditions.social instability, trade disputes or trade barriers, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences, and increases in cyberattacks and espionage.
Governments in the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries have enacted sanctions against Russia and Russian interests. These sanctions include controls on the export, re-export, and in-country transfer in Russia of certain goods, supplies, and technologies, and the imposition of restrictions on doing business with certain state-owned Russian customers and other investments and business activities in Russia. In early March 2022, we announced plans to terminate our Uniti, LLC joint venture with Russian-based VSMPO-AVISMA (Verkhnaya Salda Metallurgical Production Association - Berezniki Titanium-Magnesium Works), the purpose of which was to market and sell a range of commercially pure titanium products. However, conditions in Ukraine and/or existing or future sanctions may disrupt supplies or affect the prices of these materials.materials that are necessary to our operations. For example, we source both nickel and chromium from Russian sources that could be impacted. If unable to obtain adequate and timely deliveries of required raw materials, we may be unable to timely manufacture sufficient quantities of products. This could cause us to lose sales, incur additional costs, delay new product introductions, or suffer harm to our reputation.
Further, the broader consequences of the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine may also have the effect of heightening many other risks disclosed in our public filings, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Such risks include, but are not limited to, adverse effects on global macroeconomic conditions; increased volatility in the price and demand of oil, natural gas and other commodities, increased exposure to cyberattacks; disruptions in global supply chains; and exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and potential constraints or disruption in the capital markets and our sources of liquidity.
Dependence on Critical Supplies Subject to Price and Availability Fluctuations. We rely on third parties for certain supplies, such as graphite electrodes and industrial gases including helium and argon that are critical to the manufacture of our products. Purchase prices and availability of these critical items are subject to volatility. At any given time, we may be unable to obtain an adequate supply of these critical supplies on a timely basis, on price and other terms acceptable to us, or at all.
If suppliers increase the price of these items, we may not have alternative sources of supply. The manufacture of some of our products is a complex process and requires long lead times. As a result, we may experience delays or shortages of critical supplies. If unable to obtain adequate and timely deliveries of required raw materials,supplies, we may be unable to timely manufacture

sufficient quantities of products. This could cause us to lose sales, incur additional costs, delay new product introductions, or suffer harm to our reputation.
Availability of Energy Resources. We rely upon third parties for our supply of energy resources consumed in the manufacture of our products. 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. Disruptions in the supply of energy resources could temporarily impair our ability to manufacture products for customers. Further, increases in energy costs, or changes in costs relative to energy costs paid by competitors, has 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.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR WORKFORCE
Risks Associated with the Recruitment and Retention of Key Talent and the Sustainability of our Workforce.Our business and manufacturing processes are complex. We require highly skilled personnel with relevant industry and technical experience to effectively operate, and as such, depend on our ability to recruit, retain and motivate our employees. Shortages in skilled labor and other labor market pressures currently are resulting in greater competition for skilled labor and increased labor costs in some instances. If we fail to attract, develop, retain and motivate a sustainable workforce with the skills and in the locations we need to operate and grow our business, our operations could be adversely impacted.
In addition, the loss of key members of management and other personnel could negatively impact our business, and any unplanned turnover, or failure to develop adequate succession plans for key positions, could result in loss of technical or other expertise or institutional knowledge, delay or impede the execution of our strategic plans and priorities and, ultimately, negatively impact our business and results.
Labor Matters. We have approximately 6,700 active employees, of which approximately 15% are located outside the United States.  Approximately 35% of our workforce is covered by various CBAs, predominantly with the USW. At various times, our CBAs expire and are subject to renegotiation. Generally, collective bargaining agreements that expire may be terminated after notice by the union. After termination, the union may authorize a strike. A labor dispute, which could lead to a strike, lockout, or other work stoppage by the employees covered by one or more of the collective bargaining agreements, could have a material adverse effect on production at one or more of our facilities and, depending upon the length of such dispute or work stoppage,
11


on our operating results. For example, in 2021, the USW engaged in a 3 ½ month strike primarily affecting our AA&S segment operations, and we incurred approximately $63 million in strike-related costs and had lower revenues during this period while we continued to operate affected facilities with replacement workers. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in concluding collective bargaining agreements to replace those that expire.
RISKS RELATED TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND SECURITY
Risks Associated with our Intellectual Property. We own valuable intellectual property, including trade secrets, patents, trademarks and copyrights. Our intellectual property protects our investments in technological innovation, research and development, and plays an important role in maintaining our competitive position in the markets we serve. Despite efforts to secure our intellectual property, it may be infringed or misappropriated by our employees, our competitors or other third parties. The pursuit of remedies for infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property is expensive and uncertain. Additionally, our competitors may develop technologies of their own that are similar or superior to our proprietary technologies, or design around our patents, to lawfully avoid our intellectual property rights. A failure to sufficiently secure or successfully enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our business and competitive position.
Risks Associated with Information Technology. Information technology infrastructure is critical to supporting business objectives; failure of our information technology infrastructure to operate effectively could adversely affect our business. We depend heavily on information technology infrastructure to achieve our business objectives. If a problem occurs that impairs this infrastructure, the resulting disruption could impede our ability to record or process orders, manufacture and ship in a timely manner, or otherwise carry on business in the normal course. Any such events could cause us to lose customers or revenue and could require us to incur significant expense to remediate. As we integrate, implement and deploy new information technology processes and information infrastructure across our operations, we could experience disruptions in our business that could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Cyber Security Threats. Increased global information technology threats, vulnerabilities, and a rise in sophisticated and targeted international computer crime pose a risk to the security of our systems and networks and the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data. We believe that ATI faces the threat of such cyber attacks due to the markets we serve, the products we manufacture, the locations of our operations, and global interest in our technology. Due to the evolving nature of cyber security threats, the scope and impact of any incident cannot be predicted. We continually work to strengthen our threat countermeasures, safeguard our systems and mitigate potential risks. Despite our efforts to fortify our cyber security and protect sensitive information and confidential and personal data, our facilities and systems and those of our third-party service providers may be vulnerable to security breaches. This could lead to disclosure, modification or destruction of proprietary and other key information, production downtimes, operational disruptions, and remediation costs, which in turn could adversely affect our reputation, competitiveness and results of operations.
RISK RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Risks Associated with Climate Change.
While the prospect of a lower-carbon economy presents a number of opportunities for our business, the physical impacts of climate change, regulatory efforts to transition to a lower-carbon economy in the regions in which we, our customers and our suppliers operate and the increased focus and evolving views of our various stakeholders on climate change issues could create risks to our business.
Physical Risk.Climate related changes in prevailing weather patterns may impact, among other conditions, changes in sea levels and the propensity for flooding in coastal and other regions, long-term changes in precipitation patterns leading to flooding, drought or deterioration in water quality, and the frequency and severity of significant storms and other weather events and related natural hazards, such as wildfire risk. Although we do not believe that our facilities are currently exposed to significant physical risk as a general matter, our operations have at times been, and could in the future be, impacted by adverse climate-related events, such as, for example, unanticipated periods of extreme cold or heat, acute flooding and wide-spread wildfires such as those experienced in certain regions in the U.S. and elsewhere in recent years. Events such as these could cause damage to critical facilities and equipment, result in significant operational disruption and have meaningfully adverse effects on our employees and the communities in which we operate. Additionally, even to the extent that significant weather events or changes in climate conditions do not directly impact our own facilities and/or operations, our business could be negatively impacted by events or more chronic climate conditions that disrupt or force longer-term changes in operations for our significant customers or suppliers, which could negatively impact the timing or overall volume of demand for our products or the cost and availability of critical raw materials, among other factors. Over time, widespread physical climate changes and risks could drive increases in other operational costs for our business, such as insurance costs.

12


Regulatory and Other Transition Risks. Increased worldwide focus on climate change has led to legislative and regulatory efforts to combat both potential causes and adverse impacts of climate change. New or more stringent laws and regulations related to greenhouse gas emissions, water usage and other climate change related concerns may adversely affect us, our suppliers and our customers. We have publicly disclosed efforts to reduce the energy intensity, freshwater intake intensity and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission of our operations, working consistently to enhance the environmental sustainability of our business by reducing our reliance on fossil fuel-based energy sources, promoting water reuse and other responsible water management practices, reducing waste and promoting recycling (including extensive use of recycled feedstock in our manufacturing processes) and ensuring our compliance with applicable environmental regulations. Nevertheless, new and evolving laws and regulations could mandate different or more restrictive standards, increase operating costs, require (or cause customers to require that we make) capital investments to transition to low carbon technologies or purchase carbon credits, or otherwise adversely impact our ongoing operations. Our suppliers may face similar challenges and incur additional compliance costs that are passed on to us. These direct and indirect costs may adversely impact our results.
Market and Reputational Risks.Technology to support the transition to lower-carbon operations within the timeframe that could be required by future regulation or expected in the future by our customers may not be available at the scale necessary to support our operations, in a timely or cost-effective manner, or at all. It is possible that, over time, due to both regulatory action and/or changing customer and societal norms and expectations regarding the causes and importance of climate change issues, demand for products in one or more of our significant end markets could decline or, if we fail to keep pace with changing demand and technological advancement, shift in favor of products that we do not produce. If we fail to appropriately adapt to the expectations of our customers or other stakeholders, fail to achieve or properly report progress toward our environmental sustainability goals and targets or otherwise are perceived as failing to adequately address climate change concerns, the resulting negative perceptions could adversely affect our business, reputation and access to capital.
Risks Associated with Other Environmental Compliance Matters. We are 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 we investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. We 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 non-compliance with environmental permits required at our facilities. We are currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of our current and former sites as well as third party sites. We also could be subject to future laws and regulations that govern greenhouse gas emissions and various matters related to climate change and other air emissions, which could increase our operating costs.
With respect to proceedings brought under the federal Superfund laws, or similar state statutes, we have been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at approximately 4243 of such sites, excluding those at which we believe we have no future liability. Our involvement is limited or de minimis at approximately 3420 of these sites, and the potential loss exposure with respect to 816 individual sites is not considered to be material, and the potential loss exposure on the remaining 7 sites could be material.
We are a party to various cost-sharing arrangements with other PRPs at many of the sites. The terms of the cost-sharing arrangements are subject to non-disclosure agreements as confidential information. Nevertheless, the cost-sharing arrangements generally require all PRPs to post financial assurance of the performance of the obligations or to pre-pay into an escrow or trust account their share of anticipated site-related costs. In addition, the Federal government, through various agencies, is a party to several such arrangements.
We believe that we operate our businesses in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations. However, from time-to-time, we are a party to lawsuits and other proceedings involving alleged violations of, or liabilities arising from, environmental laws. When our liability is probable and we can reasonably estimate our costs, we record environmental liabilities in our financial statements. In many cases, we are not able to determine whether we are liable or if liability is probable or to reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss. Estimates of our 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 participation number and financial condition of other PRPs, as well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation. We intend to adjust our accruals to reflect new information as appropriate. Future adjustments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in a given period, but we cannot reliably predict the amounts of such future adjustments. At December 31, 2019,2022, our reserves for environmental matters totaled approximately $18 million.$13 million. Based on currently available information, we do not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding the amount already accrued for any of the sites with which we are currently associated (either individually or in the aggregate) will be an amount that would be material to a decision to buy or sell our securities. Future developments, administrative actions or liabilities relating to environmental matters, however, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

RISKS RELATED TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Impacts on the End-Markets that We Serve and Demand for Our Products. The COVID-19 pandemic, including governmental and other actions taken or restrictions imposed to contain its spread and impact, subjected our operations, financial performance and financial condition to a number of risks including, but not limited to, those discussed below. The significant macroeconomic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures designed to contain its spread negatively impacted several of the Company’s most significant end markets, and our sales to customers in those markets. The possibility exists that there could be ongoing impacts to our operations and financial results as a result of COVID-19 or a similar future pandemic, and the ultimate breadth and duration of these trends and their impact on our business is difficult to predict.
Impacts to Our Supply Chain. To date, we have not experienced significant disruption to our supply chain as a result of the pandemic. However, it remains possible at some point that, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic or any future similar event, one or more of our suppliers may not have the materials, capacity, or capability to supply products that we require according to our schedule and specifications. In that case, we may need to seek alternate suppliers, which may be more expensive, may not be available or may result in delays in shipments to us and subsequently to our customers, each of which would affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Risk of Operational Disruption. In general throughout the pandemic, our facilities continued to operate with federal and state government approvals due to the qualification of our facilities as essential and critical. However, we have experienced and may again in the future experience the temporary shut down of facilities in response to employees being impacted by COVID-19, a similar future outbreak or any related changes in government policy. Currently, widespread COVID-19 impacts in China affecting customer supply chains are expected to impact the near-term results of our Chinese STAL joint venture.
Impacts on Financial and Credit Markets. Financial market volatility as a result of any ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or any future similar event could pose heightened risks to our liquidity, access to capital markets and cost of funds, which could adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.
OTHER OPERATIONAL AND STRATEGIC RISKS

Risks Associated with Disruptions to our Manufacturing Processes. The manufacture of many of our products is a highly exacting and complex process. If we encounter disruptions to our manufacturing processes due to equipment malfunction, failure to follow specific protocols, specifications and procedures, supply chain interruptions, natural disasters, health pandemics, labor unrest, or otherwise, it could have an adverse impact on our ability to fulfill orders or on product quality or performance which could result in significant costs to and liability for us that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, as well as negative publicity and damage to our reputation, which could adversely impact product demand and customer relationships. Additionally, our operations depend on the continued and efficient functioning of our facilities, including critical equipment. If our operations, particularly one of our manufacturing facilities, were to be materially disrupted for any reason, we may be unable to effectively meet our obligations to or demand from our customers, which could adversely affect our financial performance.

Export Sales and International Trade Matters. We believe that export sales will continue to account for a significant percentage of our future revenues. We also import certain raw materials that are important to our business, including nickel, zirconium, niobium, chromium, cobalt, vanadium and titanium sponge, among others. Risks associated with such international trade include, among others: political and economic instability, including weak conditions in the world’s economies; accounts receivable collection; export controls; trade sanctions; changes in legal and regulatory requirements; policy changes affecting the markets for our products; changes in tax laws; and exchange rate fluctuations (which may affect sales to international customers and the value of profits earned on export sales when converted into dollars). Any of these factors could materially adversely affect our results for the period in which they occur.
Additionally, changes in international trade duties and other aspects of international trade policy, both in the U.S. and abroad, could materially impact our business. Moreover, tariffs, or other changes in U.S. trade policy, have resulted in and may continue to trigger, retaliatory actions by affected countries. Certain foreign governments have instituted or considered imposing trade sanctions on certain U.S. goods, or taking action to deny U.S. companies access to critical raw materials, in response to U.S. trade actions. A “trade war” of this nature or other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements or policies has the potential to adversely impact demand for our products, our costs, customers, suppliers and/or the U.S. economy or certain sectors thereof and, thus, to adversely impact our businesses.
Political and Social Turmoil. The war on terrorism as well as political and social turmoil could put pressure on economic conditions in the United States and worldwide. These political, social and economic conditions could make it difficult for us, our suppliers, and our customers to forecast accurately and plan future business activities, and could adversely affect the financial condition of our suppliers and customers and affect customer decisions as to the amount and timing of purchases from us. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
14


Risks Associated with Strategic Capital Projects and Maintenance Activities. From time-to-time, we undertake strategic capital projects in order to enhance, expand and/or upgrade our facilities and operational capabilities. Our ability to achieve the anticipated increased revenues or otherwise realize acceptable returns on these investments or other strategic capital projects that we may undertake is subject to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control, including a variety of market, operational, permitting, and labor-related factors. In addition, the cost to implement any given strategic capital project ultimately may prove to be greater than originally anticipated. If we are not able to achieve the anticipated results from the implementation of any of our strategic capital projects, or if we incur unanticipated implementation costs or delays, our results of operations and financial position may be materially adversely affected. Additionally, we periodically undertake maintenance activities, routine or otherwise, involving facilities and pieces of equipment that are key to our operations, and it is possible that unanticipated maintenance needs, or unanticipated circumstances arising in connection with planned maintenance activities could result in equipment outages that are longer, or costs that exceed, those originally anticipated. Significant repair delays or unanticipated costs associated with these activities could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Associated with Current or Future Litigation and Claims. A number of lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against us relating to the conduct of our currently and formerly owned businesses, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial disputes, government contracting, employment matters, employee and retiree benefits, taxes, environmental matters, health and safety and occupational disease, and stockholder and corporate governance matters. Due to the uncertainties of litigation, we can give no assurance that we will prevail on all claims made against us in the lawsuits that we currently face or that additional claims will not be made against us in the future. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to us, we do not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on our 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 our results of operations for that period. Also, we can give no assurance that any other claims brought in the future will not have a material effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Labor Matters.Risks Associated with Insurance Coverage. We have approximately 8,100 full-time employees,maintained various forms of which approximately 17% are located outside the United States.  Approximately 40% ofinsurance, including insurance covering claims related to our workforce is covered by various CBAs, predominantly with the USW. At various times, our CBAs expireproperties and are subject to renegotiation. We currently are involved in negotiation on our next significant CBA, which expires February 29, 2020 involving approximately 1,500 USW-represented full-time employees located primarily within the FRP segment operations and at two facilities in the HPMC segment. Generally, collective bargaining agreements that expire may be terminated after notice by the union. After termination, the union may authorize a strike. A labor dispute, which could lead to a strike, lockout, or other work stoppage by the employees covered by one or more of the collective bargaining agreements, could have a material adverse effect on production at one or more of our facilities and, depending upon the length of such dispute or work stoppage, on our operating results. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in concluding collective bargaining agreements to replace those that expire.
Export Sales. We believe that export sales will continue to account for a significant percentage of our future revenues. Risksrisks associated with export sales include: politicalour operations. Our existing property and economic instability, including weak conditionsliability insurance coverages contain exclusions and limitations on coverage. From time-to-time, in the world’s economies; accounts receivable collection; export controls; changes in legalconnection with renewals of insurance, we have experienced additional exclusions and regulatory requirements; policy changes affecting the markets for our products; changes in tax lawslimitations on coverage, larger self-insured retentions and tariffs; trade duties;deductibles, and exchange rate fluctuations (which may affect sales to international customers and the value of profits earned on export sales when converted into dollars). Any of these factors could materially adversely affect our results for the period in which they occur.
Risks Associated with Indebtedness. Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our outstanding indebtedness.significantly higher premiums. As of December 31, 2019, our total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $1.4 billion. This substantial level of indebtedness increases the risk that we may be unable to generate enough cash to pay amounts due in respect of our indebtedness. Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to our stockholders and significant effects on our business. For example, it could:
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our outstanding indebtedness;
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, our strategic growth initiatives and development efforts and other general corporate purposes;
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
restrict us from taking advantage of business opportunities;
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less indebtedness; and
limit our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy or other general corporate purposes.
In addition, the agreements that govern our current indebtedness contain, and the agreements that may govern any future indebtedness that we may incur may contain, financial and other restrictive covenants that could limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result, in the acceleration of all offuture our debt.
In addition, our variable rate indebtedness, including loans outstanding from timeinsurance coverage may not cover claims to time under our Asset Based Lending (ABL) Credit Facility, may use London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) as a benchmark for establishing the rate.  In 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announcedextent that it intendshas in the past and the costs that we incur to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021. It is expected that most, if not all, banks currently reporting information to set LIBOR will stop doing so at such time,procure insurance may increase significantly, either of which could either cause LIBOR publication to stop immediately or cause LIBOR’s regulator to announce the discontinuation of its publication. During any such transition period, LIBOR may perform differently than in the past. Consequently, LIBOR has been the subject of recent regulatory guidance and proposals for reform that could result in changes to the method by which LIBOR is calculated or in the use of alternate reference rates.  Our ABL credit facility includes provisions intended to provide for such transitions, but the potential consequences of these changes cannot be fully predicted and could impact the cost of our variable rate indebtedness or the cost or value of other financial obligations or extensions of credit held by or due to us from time to time, which could adversely affect our financial condition.
Risks Associated with Retirement Benefits. At December 31, 2019, our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans were approximately 73% funded as calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Based upon current regulations and actuarial studies, we expect to make approximately $130 million in cash contributions to the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2020, and we currently expect to have average annual funding requirements of approximately $85 million for the next few years thereafter for these plans, using a 7.16% weighted average expected rate of return on pension plan assets. However, these estimates are subject to significant uncertainty, including the performance of our pension trust assets. Depending on the timing and amount, a requirement that we fund the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans could have a materialan adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.operations.

Risks Associated with Acquisition and Disposition Strategies. We intend to continue to strategically position our businesses in order to improve our ability to compete. Strategies we employ to accomplish this may include seeking new or expanding existing specialty market niches for our products, expanding our global presence, acquiring businesses complementary to existing strengths, and continually evaluating the performance and strategic fit of our existing business units. From time-to-time, management holds discussions with management of other companies to explore acquisitions, joint ventures, and other business combination opportunities as well as possible business unit dispositions. As a result, the relative makeup of the businesses comprising our Company is subject to change. Acquisitions, joint ventures, and other business combinations involve various inherent risks, such as: assessing accurately the value, strengths, weaknesses, contingent and other liabilities and potential profitability of acquisition or other transaction candidates; the potential loss of key personnel of an acquired business; our ability to achieve identified financial and operating synergies, growth or other benefits anticipated to result from an acquisition or other transaction; and unanticipated changes in business and economic conditions affecting an acquisition or other transaction. International acquisitions and other transactions could be affected by export controls, exchange rate fluctuations, domestic and foreign political conditions, changes in tax laws and a deterioration in domestic and foreign economic conditions.
Risks Associated with Information Technology. Information technology infrastructure is critical to supporting business objectives; failure of our information technology infrastructure to operate effectively could adversely affect our business. We depend heavily on information technology infrastructure to achieve our business objectives. If a problem occurs that impairs this infrastructure, the resulting disruption could impede our ability to record or process orders, manufacture and ship in a timely manner, or otherwise carry on business in the normal course. Any such events could cause us to lose customers or revenue and could require us to incur significant expense to remediate.
As we integrate, implement and deploy new information technology processes and information infrastructure across our operations, we could experience disruptions in our business that could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Cyber Security Threats. Increased global information technology threats, vulnerabilities, and a rise in sophisticated and targeted international computer crime pose a risk to the security of our systems and networks and the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data. We believe that ATI faces the threat of such cyber attacks due to the markets we serve, the products we manufacture, the locations of our operations, and global interest in our technology. Due to the evolving nature of cyber security threats, the scope and impact of any incident cannot be predicted. We continually work to strengthen our threat countermeasures, safeguard our systems and mitigate potential risks. Despite our efforts to fortify our cyber security and protect sensitive information and confidential and personal data, our facilities and systems and those of our third-party service providers may be vulnerable to security breaches. This could lead to disclosure, modification or destruction of proprietary and other key information, production downtimes, operational disruptions, and remediation costs, which in turn could adversely affect our reputation, competitiveness and results of operations.
Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Insurance. We have maintained various forms of insurance, including insurance covering claims related to our properties and risks associated with our operations. Our existing property and liability insurance coverages contain exclusions and limitations on coverage. From time-to-time, in connection with renewals of insurance, we have experienced additional exclusions and limitations on coverage, larger self-insured retentions and deductibles, and significantly higher premiums. As a result, in the future our insurance coverage may not cover claims to the extent that it has in the past and the costs that we incur to procure insurance may increase significantly, either of which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Global Health Crises. Our business could be adversely affected by the effects of a widespread outbreak of contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, which, among other impacts and potential impacts, has directly impacted our STAL joint venture operations located in Shanghai. Any widespread outbreak of contagious diseases, and other adverse public health developments, could have a material and adverse effect on our business operations. These could include disruptions or restrictions on our ability to travel or to distribute our products, as well as temporary closures of our facilities or the facilities of our suppliers or customers, which could impact our sales and operating results.  In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect demand for our products and likely impact our operating results.

Political and Social Turmoil. The war on terrorism as well as political and social turmoil could put pressure on economic conditions in the United States and worldwide. These political, social and economic conditions could make it difficult for us, our suppliers, and our customers to forecast accurately and plan future business activities, and could adversely affect the financial condition of our suppliers and customers and affect customer decisions as to the amount and timing of purchases from us. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Risks Associated with Government Contracts. Some of our operating units perform contractual work directly or indirectly for the U.S. Government, which requires compliance with laws and regulations relating to the performance of Government contracts. Various claims (whether based on U.S. Government or Company audits and investigations or otherwise) could be asserted against us related to our U.S. Government contract work. Depending on the circumstances and the outcome, such proceedings could result in fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages or the cancellation or suspension of payments under one or more U.S. Government contracts. Under government regulations, a company, or one or more of its operating divisions or units, can also be suspended or debarred from government contracts based on the results of investigations.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR INDEBTEDNESS; OTHER FINANCIAL AND FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING RISKS
Risks Associated with Indebtedness. Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our outstanding indebtedness. As of December 31, 2022, our total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $1.7 billion. This substantial level of indebtedness increases the risk that we may be unable to generate enough cash to pay amounts due in respect of our indebtedness. Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to our stockholders and significant effects on our business. For example, it could:
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our outstanding indebtedness;
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, our strategic growth initiatives and development efforts and other general corporate purposes;
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
restrict us from taking advantage of business opportunities;
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less indebtedness; and
limit our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy or other general corporate purposes.

A portion of our indebtedness, including amounts outstanding currently or in the future under our ABL, bear interest at variable rates and, accordingly, subject our business to risk, particularly in a rising interest rate environment.In addition, the agreements that govern our current indebtedness contain, and the agreements that may govern any future indebtedness that we may incur may contain, financial and other restrictive covenants that could limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our debt.
Risks Associated with Retirement Benefits. At December 31, 2022, our defined benefit pension plans were approximately 88% funded as calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As a result of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) enacted in March 2021, the rules governing pension funding calculations changed. Based on current actuarial assumptions, we were not required to make any contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans during fiscal year 2022, and our prior contributions have generated a credit balance that may be utilized to offset future minimum required contributions. We voluntarily contributed $50 million to these plans in both 2022 and early 2023 to improve the plans’ funded position. Using our long-term weighted average expected rate of return on pension plan assets and other actuarial assumptions, we do not expect to have any minimum cash funding requirements to these pension plans for the next few years. However, these estimates are based on various assumptions and are subject to significant uncertainty, including with respect to the performance of our pension trust assets, and our expectations therefore could prove to be inaccurate. Lower than expected returns on our pension assets could result in great than anticipated pension contribution obligations in the future. Depending on the timing and amount, a requirement that we fund the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Goodwill or Long-Lived Asset Impairments. We have various long-lived assets that are subject to impairment testing. We review the recoverability of goodwill annually, or more frequently whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded goodwill of a reporting unit may be below that reporting unit’s fair value. Our businesses operate in highly cyclical industries, such as commercial aerospace and oil & gas, and as such, our estimates of future cash flows, market demand, the cost of capital, and forecasted growth rates and other factors may fluctuate, which may lead to changes in estimated fair value and, therefore, impairment charges in future periods. For the 2022 annual goodwill impairment evaluation, both of our reporting units with goodwill had fair values that were in excess of carrying value. Additionally, we have a significant amount of property, plant and equipment and acquired intangible assets that may be subject to impairment testing, depending on factors such as market conditions, the demand for our products, and facility utilization levels. Any determination requiring the impairment of a significant portion of goodwill or other long-lived assets has had, and may in the future have, a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
In connection with our December 2020 announcements regarding our plans to cease production of certain lower-margin standard stainless sheet products, our 2020 results included $1,041.5 million of long-lived asset non-cash impairment charges, primarily related to our HRPF and certain stainless steel melting and finishing operations that are part of the AA&S segment’s Brackenridge, Pennsylvania operations. We also recognized an interim goodwill impairment charge of $287.0 million in the
16


second quarter of 2020 for the partial impairment of goodwill at our Forged Products reporting unit in the HPMC segment based on changes in the timing and amount of expected cash flows resulting from lower projected revenues, including recent disruptions to the global commercial aerospace market resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the increasing uncertainty of near-term demand requirements of aero-engine and airframe markets based on government responses to the pandemic and ongoing interactions with customers.

We generated $230positive cash flow of $225 million in cash from operating activities in 2019, which included $1452022, while supporting a $68 million increase in contributionsmanaged working capital and making a $50 million contribution to ATI’s U.S. defined benefit pension trust, and we achieved our long-range managed working capital target at 30% of annualized sales. We also generated $250 million in cash from non-core asset sales, including two transactions to monetize sometrust. As a result of our long-held oil and gas rights and the divestitures of two non-core carbon steel forging facilities andconstant focus on our titanium investment castings business. Overall,financial condition, we ended the year with $491$584 million of cash on hand.hand and over $1 billion of total liquidity including the undrawn capacity under our asset-based lending facility.
InOn May 12, 2022, we completed the fourth quarter 2019, we reduced our total debt outstanding by $150sale of the Sheffield, UK operations, which was previously part of the HPMC segment. With more than 80% of the operation’s $36 million 2021 sales focused on the oil and gas markets, it was not well-aligned with ATI’s strategic focus on the aerospace and defense markets. This divestiture also removed all obligations for a UK defined benefit pension plan.
On September 9, 2022, the Company amended and restated its Asset Based Lending (ABL) Credit Facility, which extended the ABL facility, including the $200 million term loan, through September 2027 and included an increase of $100 million in the revolving credit facility, to $600 million, and loweredcontinued a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $200 million.
We continued to reduce our Debtnet pension liability, which was $219 million, or 88% funded on a financial reporting basis as of December 31, 2022, a substantial improvement over the $396 million, or 84% funded position at the end of 2021 due to cash contributions to the pension trust and benefits from higher discount rates at year-end 2022.
Results of Operations
2022 Compared to 2021
Results for 2022 included sales of $3.84 billion and income before tax of $162.0 million, compared to sales of $2.80 billion and income before tax of $10.6 million in 2021. Our gross profit was $714.2 million, or 18.6% of sales, a $381 million increase compared to 2021, as the momentum in our core markets drove profitable growth across the enterprise. Results in 2022 include $34 million of benefits from management actions to access available grants and other forms of COVID-19 relief available from previously-enacted U.S. legislation. These benefits included $17 million of a $22 million grant under the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection (AMJP) program for our operations in the HPMC segment, which helped fund ongoing wage and benefit costs for a six-month period through May 2022, and $17 million in employee retention credits applicable across all of ATI’s domestic operations, largely for preserving jobs throughout the global pandemic-related economic downturn. Results for 2022 also included $157.0 million of net pre-tax charges which consisted of the following:
$134.2 million in losses, net, primarily associated with the sale of the Sheffield, UK business which was sold in May 2022 for a $141 million loss. This business is reported as part of the HPMC segment through the date of sale and had sales of $36 million and a net loss before tax of $9 million in fiscal year 2021. This loss was partially offset by a gain on the sale of our small Pico Rivera, CA operations.
$23.7 million of costs associated with restructuring and other charges, consisting of a $28.5 million charge associated with the settlement of litigation related to the 2016 idling of the Rowley, UT titanium sponge facility, partially offset by severance-related reserve reductions based on changes in planned operating rates and revised work force estimates.
21


$0.9 million of credits associated with restructuring activities at the A&T stainless joint venture.
Results for 2021 included $39.5 million of net pre-tax charges which consisted of the following:
$65.5 million debt extinguishment charge related to the redemption of our $500 million of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (2023 notes);
$63.2 million of strike-related costs arising from the 3 ½ month work stoppage by the USW, following expiration of a CBA, which began in March 2021, and predominantly impacted AA&S segment operations. A new CBA was ratified in July 2021. Strike-related costs primarily consisted of overhead costs recognized in the period due to below normal operating rates, higher costs for outside conversion activities, and signing bonuses for represented employees following CBA ratification;
$64.9 million retirement benefit settlement gain for a plan termination that eliminated certain postretirement medical benefit liabilities as a result of the new USW CBA;
$13.8 million gain on the sale of our Flowform Products business, which was sold for $55 million in cash in August 2021. This business is reported as part of the HPMC segment through the date of sale. Flowform Products’ sales were $26 million in fiscal year 2020;
$10.5 million of net credits for restructuring and other charges, consisting of $11.3 million of restructuring credits primarily for a reduction in severance-related reserves based on changes in planned operating rates and revised workforce reduction estimates, partially offset by $0.8 million for inventory valuation reserves classified in cost of sales on the consolidated statement of operations.
All of these items discussed above are excluded from segment EBITDA. The net loss on sale of the businesses in 2022, restructuring charges/credits and strike-related costs are included in operating income on the consolidated statements of operations, which was $287.3 million for 2022, compared to $117.6 million for 2021.
Nonoperating items included $25.4 million in nonoperating retirement benefit expense in 2022, compared to income of $37.2 million in the prior year, reflecting the $64.9 million retirement benefit settlement gain in 2021. Other (nonoperating) income/expense in 2022 includes a $28.5 million litigation settlement charge discussed above partially offset by a $9.9 million benefit from the A&T Stainless joint venture’s settlement of Section 232 claims, which is included in AA&S segment results. Other (nonoperating) income/expense in 2021 includes a $65.5 million debt extinguishment charge and the $13.8 million gain on the sale of the Flowform Products business discussed above.
Results for 2022 included $15.5 million of income tax expense, primarily attributable to the Company’s foreign operations and state income tax expense associated with states that limit net operating loss utilization. ATI continues to maintain a valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets. Results for 2021 include $26.8 million of income tax expense, primarily for $15.5 million in discrete tax effects related to the retirement benefit settlement gain. Net income attributable to ATI was $130.9 million, or $0.96 per share, in 2022, compared to a net loss attributable to ATI of $38.2 million, or ($0.30) per share, for 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA ratiowas $549.3 million, or 14.3% of sales, for 2022, and $290.9 million, or 10.4% of sales, for 2021. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures utilized by ATI that we believe are useful to 2.69 at December 31, 2019 comparedinvestors because these measures are commonly used to 3.07 at year-end 2018 (seeanalyze companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and liquidity. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures and are not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as alternatives to, a measure of operating performance as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). We categorically define EBITDA as income from continuing operations before interest and income taxes, plus depreciation and amortization, goodwill impairment charges and debt extinguishment charges. We categorically define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding significant non-recurring charges or credits, restructuring charges/credits, strike related costs, long-lived asset impairments and other postretirement/pension curtailment and settlement gains and losses. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and capital expenditures. See the Liquidity and Financial Condition and Liquidity section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis for this calculation). We issued $350 milliona reconciliation of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2027, the proceeds of which, along with cash on hand, were used to early redeem our $500 million 5.95% Senior Notes due 2021. In recognition of these improving credit metrics, Moody’s upgraded ATI’s credit rating one notch to B1.
On September 30, 2019, we amended and restated our Asset Based Lending (ABL) Credit Facility, extending the facility through 2024 and increasing the revolving credit portion of the facility by $100 million. See Financial Condition and Liquidity for further explanation.
We continued to make capital investments to support our strategic growth initiatives and to have the installed asset base in service and qualified when needed for additional production capacity associated with extended and expanded long-term agreements, principally involving customers in the aerospace & defense markets, including our iso-thermal press and heat-treating capacity expansion at our Iso-Thermal Forging Center of Excellence in Cudahy, WI.
We made further progress on our risk management strategy for retirement benefit obligations by completing a $96 million risk transfer through the purchase of an annuity contract with a nationally recognized insurance company. This annuity buyout removed 10% of plan participants, bringing the total pension participant reduction to more than 50% over the past seven years.

Results of Operations
Sales were $4.12 billion in 2019, compared to $4.05 billion in 2018, a 2% increase, despite a 2% negative impact from business divestitures. Income before tax was $241.6 million in 2019, compared to $247.7 million in 2018. Net income attributable to ATI in 2019 was $257.6 million, or $1.85 per share, compared to $222.4 million, or $1.61 per share, in 2018. Results in 2019 include a $28.5 million income tax benefit, while 2018 results reflect $11.0 million of income tax expense. Through December 31, 2019, we continued to maintain valuation allowances foramounts reported under U.S. federal and state deferred taxes, and results in all periods include impacts from income taxes that differ from the applicable standard tax rate, primarily relatedGAAP to these income tax valuation allowances. At December 31, 2019, we determined that a substantial portion of these income tax valuation allowances were no longer required, and a $45.1 million discrete tax benefit was recognized.non-GAAP measures.
In 2019, we completed several strategic actions to improve future financial performance, liquidity and our financial condition. These items noted below are excluded from business segment results unless otherwise noted.
During the second quarter of 2019, we completed the sale of two non-core forging facilities in our HPMC segment for $37 million. Sales from these two forging facilities in 2018 were $86 million. We received net cash proceeds of $33.0 million on the sale of this business and recognized an $8.1 million pre-tax loss in 2019, including $10.4 million of allocated goodwill. During the third quarter of 2019, we completed the sale of our Cast Products titanium investment castings business in our HPMC segment for $127 million. Cast Products’ sales were $105 million in 2018. We received net cash proceeds of $125.1 million on the sale of this business and recognized a $6.2 million gain in 2019. Results of these businesses are included in HPMC segment results to the dates of their respective sale. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on business divestitures.
During the second and third quarters of 2019, we recognized $91.7 million in cash gains on sales of certain oil and gas rights in Eddy County, NM. These oil and gas rights were initially acquired in 1972 along with land purchased by Teledyne, Inc., which later became part of ATI. The land was subsequently sold, with the Company retaining underlying oil and gas rights that it sold in 2019.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, a $4.5 million restructuring charge was recorded for severance obligations for the reduction of approximately 70 positions to streamline ATI’s salaried workforce, primarily to improve the cost competitiveness of the U.S.-based FRP business. The entire $4.5 million will be paid in 2020 upon completion of these reductions. We expect to generate approximately $8 million in annual savings from this restructuring once fully implemented, with approximately $4 million expected to be recognized in 2020. Also during the fourth quarter of 2019, we recorded an $11.4 million impairment charge for the A&T Stainless joint venture, including ATI’s share of a long-lived asset impairment charge recognized by the joint venture on the carrying value of its production facility in Midland, PA.
In the fourth quarter of 2019, we issued $350 million of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2027 (2027 Notes). Proceeds from the 2027 Notes and cash on hand were used to redeem the $500 million 5.95% Senior Notes due 2021 (2021 Notes), which had a January 15, 2021 maturity date. A $21.6 million debt extinguishment charge was recorded as part of this action.
Results for 2019 include $67.7 million in other (non-operating) income, net on the consolidated statements of operations, which includes the net loss on the sales of the Cast Products and industrial forgings businesses discussed above, gains to monetize oil and gas rights, an $11.4 million A&T Stainless joint venture impairment charge, and $10.7 million of net losses from operating results of joint ventures accounted for under the equity method. Equity method joint venture operating results are included in the results of the FRP segment. Other (non-operating) income, net in 2018 includes a $15.9 million pre-tax gain on the sale of a 50% noncontrolling interest and subsequent deconsolidation of the A&T Stainless joint venture in March 2018.
Results by Business Segment
WeDuring 2022, we operated in two business segments, during 2019, HPMC and FRP,AA&S, and management evaluates financial results on this basis. Full year 2022 HPMC sales increased 42% compared to 2021, as a 58% increase in 2019 by 3%, despite a 4% decline from business divestitures, drivenaerospace and defense market sales was partially offset by a 6% increase17% decrease in sales to energy markets. Fourth quarter 2022 HPMC sales were 42% higher than the fourth quarter 2021, as commercial aerospace end markets return to pre-COVID demand levels. Full year 2022 AA&S sales increased 33% compared to 2021 reflecting the benefits of the transformation and the strength of the aerospace &and defense markets, which comprises 76% of
22


markets. Fourth quarter 2022 AA&S sales were 25% higher than the fourth quarter 2021 as aerospace and defense sales in this segment. Sales increased 1% in the FRPby 100%.
Total segment primarily due to nearly 30% higher sales to the aerospace & defense markets, and a 25% increase in energy market sales, partially offset by declines in sales to most general industrial markets for standard stainless products.

Segment operating profitEBITDA was $380.7$623.8 million, or 9.2%16.3% of sales, in 2019,2022, compared to total segment operating profitEBITDA of $413.2$351.6 million, or 10.2%12.6% of sales, in 2018.2021.

As part of managing the liquidity of our business, we focus on controlling managed working capital, which is defined as gross accounts receivable, short-term contract assets and gross inventories, less accounts payable and short-term contract liabilities. In measuring performance in controlling this managed working capital, we exclude the effects of inventory valuation reserves, and reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable which, due to their nature, are managed separately. We measure managed working capital as a percentage of the prior three months annualized sales to evaluate our performance based on recent levels of business volume. In 2022, managed working capital decreased to 30.1% of annualized total ATI sales compared to 37.5% of annualized sales at December 31, 2021, reflecting the Company’s ongoing efforts to improve managed working capital efficiency as well as a higher level of sales. The $67.5 million increase in overall managed working capital in 2022 is detailed in the table below. Days sales outstanding, which measures actual collection timing for accounts receivable, modestly improved at year-end 2022 compared to 2021. Gross inventory turns improved by 13% in 2022 compared to 2021, as improved inventory flow across our operations was an area of significant management focus in 2022. Accounts payable increased as a result of increased business volumes in 2022 and capital expenditures related to strategic projects that remained in accounts payable at December 31 2022.

These LTAs, which are expected to continue to drive HPMC’s growth trajectory for the next several years, and are for the salecover sales of ATI’s specialty materials, parts and components that are required forused in both next-generation and legacy aircraft platforms, including jet engines. Our LTAs include a titanium products supply agreement for aircraft airframes and structural components with The Boeing Company (Boeing), which continues through 2022.was extended in 2021. This LTA covers value-added titanium products and provides opportunity for greater use of ATI’s next generation and advanced titanium alloys in both long product and flat-rolled product forms, including highly engineered titanium forged products. The agreement includes both long-product forms that are manufactured within the HPMC segment, and a significant amount of plate products that are manufactured utilizing assets of both the HPMC and FRPAA&S segments. Revenues and profits associated with these titanium products covered by the Boeing long-term agreementLTA are included primarily in the results for the HPMC segment.
We extendedhave LTAs with GE Aviation in 2019 for theand Snecma (Safran) to supply of premium titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys, and vacuum-melted specialty alloys products for commercial and military jet engine applications which begin in January 2021 and are multi-year agreements, and are negotiating LTA extensions with Snecma (Safran) for the supply of premium titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys, and vacuum melted specialty alloys for commercial and military jet engine applications. In addition, we have LTAs with Rolls-Royce plc for the supply of disc-quality products and precision forgings for commercial jet engine applications. In 2019, we extended our long-term agreement through 2029 with Rolls-Royce to supply rotating disc quality specialty materials for their Trent engine family.  This agreement covers the production of a wide-range of critical products used to make Rolls-Royce’s next-generation jet engines as well as spare parts for in-service engines. In 2017, we entered into a new LTA with United Technologies Corporation to supply its Pratt & Whitney subsidiaries with isothermal forgings and powder alloys for next-generation jet engines, as well as for structural components for airframe applications. We also supply products to other important parts of the aviation market such as helicopters and rotary engine fixed wing aircraft.
The commercial aerospace market is ramping up production of the next generation of single aisle and large twin aisle aircraft, and next-generation jet engines. New airframe designs contain a larger percentage of titanium alloys, and the jet engines that power them use newer nickel-based alloys and titanium-based alloys, in both cases for improved performance and more economical operating costs, compared to legacy airframe and engine designs.Boeing and Airbus continue to have multi-year backlogs of orders for both legacy models and next-generation aircraft, and there are over 27,000continues to be almost 26,000 jet engines with firm orders (Aero Engine News, February 2020)2023).Due to manufacturing cycle times, demand for our specialty materials leads the deliveries of new aircrafts by approximately 6 to 12 months.
Our 2019 HPMC results reflect this demand growth, as the next-generation of aircraft and engines use significantly more of the products we make. Use of these newer materials, particularly for jet engine applications, is expected to continue to increase for several years, with strong growth expected in powder metal alloys, including increased usage of isothermaliso-thermal forging and additive manufacturing production processes.
Additionally, new entrants to the commercial jet aircraft market for single aisle and regional jets are expected to increase demand for products made with titanium- and nickel-based alloys over the next several years. In addition, as our specialty materials are used in rotating components of jet engines, demand for our products for spare parts is impacted by aircraft flight

activity and engine refurbishment requirements of U.S. and foreign aviation regulatory authorities. As the number of aircraft in service increases, the need for our materials associated with engine refurbishment is expected to increase.
Our HPMC segment produces a wide range of high performance materials, including titanium and titanium-based alloys, nickel- and cobalt-based alloys and superalloys, zirconium and related alloys including hafnium and niobium, advanced powder alloys and other specialty materials, in long product forms such as ingot, billet, bar, rod, wire, shapes and rectangles, and seamless tubes, plus precision forgings, components, and machined parts. In 2019, we also announced the expansion and 6.5 year extension of our LTA with BWX Technologies to supply materials for the manufacture of naval nuclear components.
Stronger demand for titanium and nickel-based products, sales of which were up 12% and 4%, respectively, in 2019 were partially offset by declines in sales of forged products. Comparative information for HPMC’s major product categories including divested businesses prior to sale, based on their percentages of the segment’s overall revenue is as follows:

HPMC segment operating profitEBITDA for 20192022 increased 2%85% to $296.0 million, or 18.0% of sales, compared to 2018, to $343.1$159.9 million, or 14.3%13.8% of sales. As the year progressed, results reflected a better balance of raw material pricessales, in 2021, reflecting an improved product mix and index-based selling prices, however, the first half of 2019 reflected adverse impacts from a rapid drop in raw material prices, particularly in cobalt, which compressed profit margins due to the length of the manufacturing cycle compared to index-based selling price changes, offsetting benefits from increased operating levels. Stronger operating margins reflect higher productivity.sales of next-generation jet engine products and higher facility utilization levels. HPMC’s full year 2022 sales associated with next-generation platforms were in line with full year 2019 deliveries. Results for 2019 also reflect temporary near-term headwindsin 2022 include $27.5 million of benefits from the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection (AMJP) program and employee retention credits, partially offset by labor and other costs related to oneramp readiness. Strike-related costs of $3.5 million were excluded from HPMC 2021 results.
Current year results reflect growing momentum in our jet engine customer’s cash management efforts. Net results of divested businesses were not material to prior period HPMC segment operating profit.
We anticipate significant industry demand growth for advanced powder materials required to satisfy expandingbusiness. The aerospace & defense market production requirements, and for emerging additive manufacturing of parts and components.  To proactively meet this growing demand for complex powder alloy products, ATI designed and built an all-new nickel and super alloy powder production facility in North Carolina, which started production in 2018. We also expanded titanium alloys powder production capabilities at the same North Carolina site, which was completed in early 2019. We acquired assets in 2018 to accelerate the development of our capabilities in metal alloy-based additive manufacturing to provide comprehensive customer solutions ranging from the design of parts for additive manufacturing to the production of ready-to-install components. Ongoing strategic capital projects in HPMC to support future growth include the iso-thermal press and heat-treating capacity expansion at our Iso-Thermal Forging Center of Excellence in Cudahy, WI, which is expected to be placed into service and begin customer qualification steps in mid-2020.
In the medical market, in 2018 we entered into a joint technology development agreement with Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies, to advance state-of-the-art niobium-based superconductors, including those used in MRI magnets for the medical industry, and preclinical MRI magnets used in the life-science tools industry.
Competition continues to be very strong across mostrecover, and we are seeing an ongoing improvement in demand in many of our key end markets, particularly withinmost notably jet engine materials and components. Worldwide economic recovery is increasing the demand for travel and efficient energy, which benefits ATI, and we believe we are well positioned to capture this growth in the future. Jet engine forgings and specialty materials demand remains strong, bolstered by share gains. Looking ahead to 2023, we anticipate strong year-over-year revenue and segment EBITDA growth primarily driven by the ongoing commercial aerospace & defense, oil & gas, and medical market supply chains. recovery.
We believe that our HPMC segment is well-positioned for profitable growth through the continued recovery in commercial aerospace demand, especially in the next-generation jet engine platforms throughwhere LTAs that provide significant growth and share gains for ATI on next-generation airplanes and the jet engines that power them. Despite near-term uncertainty posed by the 737 MAX grounding and associated changes in order patterns in the supply chain for this airframe and related engine program, we believe the long-term fundamentals driving demand growth in commercial aerospace remain intact across the range of next-generation aircraft and engines.

FRP2021. Results reflect a stronger product mix of nickel-alloy mill products as we completed our exit from production of standard stainless products. Increased sales of exotic materials from our Specialty Alloys & Components business and improved operating performance also drove AA&S segment results for 2019 reflect higher retirementEBITDA margin growth. The 2022 segment EBITDA includes a $9.9 million benefit expense of $24 million and a $12 million loss for ATI’s share of the A&T Stainless JV, primarily due to Section 232 tariffs, compared to a $4 million loss from the A&T Stainless JV in the prior year. While project-based demand for nickel-based alloys in the U.S. business remained solid, weaker demand for standard stainless products resulted in lower segment operating profit compared to 2018.
We continue to make progress toward our FRP goaljoint venture’s settlement of capital efficient asset utilization improvements as evidenced by our agreement in 2018 to provide carbon steel hot-rolling conversion services for NLMK USA at our HRFP, which was recently extended for an additional year through December 2020. We expect 2020 volumes covered under this agreement to meaningfully increase over 2019 levels.  This agreement includes significant guaranteed volumes and fixed fee-per-ton revenues. 

On March 1, 2018, we announced the formation of the A&T Stainless joint venture with Tsingshan to produce 60-inch wide stainless sheet products for sale in North America. This joint venture utilizes Tsingshan-supplied stainless steel slabs from its vertically integrated operations in Indonesia. The Tsingshan-supplied stainless steel slabs are hot-rolled into coils on the FRP segment’s HRPF under a conversion agreement. The hot-rolled coils are finished into stainless steel sheet using ATI’s previously-idled Direct Roll Anneal and Pickle production facility in Midland, PA, which is ATI’s major investment in the joint venture. In late March 2018, ATI filed for an exclusion from the Section 232 tariffs on behalftariff claims and $6.8 million of A&T Stainless, which imports semi-finished stainless slab products from Indonesia. In April 2019, the Company learned that this exclusion request was deniedemployee retention credits, partially offset by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The A&T Stainless JV filed a new request for exclusion in October 2019, but will continue to be subject to the 25% tariff levied on its imports of semi-finished stainless slab products from Indonesia pending the outcome of this new request. Results of A&T Stainless have beenlabor and will continue to be negatively impacted by these tariffs on imported stainless slab products. The joint venture partners have continued to evaluate longer-term solutions to return this strategic initiative to profitability, and determined during the fourth quarter of 2019 that idling this facility is probable if a near-term tariff exclusion is not received. ATI recognized an $11.4 million impairment charge in 2019other costs related to the A&T Stainless JV,ramp readiness. Strike related costs of $59.7 million, primarily related to ATI’s equity-method sharelower productivity and utilization levels, were excluded from AA&S segment 2021 results.
With the AA&S business transformation and footprint consolidation nearly completed, we are well positioned for continued future growth. Sales of commercial airframe flat-form products in the AA&S segment are projected to increase over the longer-term due in part to the repositioning of the JV’s long-lived asset impairment chargecommercial aerospace supply chain in response to the Russia/Ukraine conflict. While availability of raw materials for our melting processes remains adequate during the Midland facility, that is excluded from FRP segment results.
LIFO and Net Realizable Value Reserves

The net effect ofongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict, changes in LIFO and NRV inventory reserves was expenseraw material prices may cause variability in profit margins based on the timing of $0.1 million and $0.7 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively. Falling inventory costs in 2019 resulted in a $25.5 million pretax LIFO inventory valuation reserve benefit, which was offset by a $25.6 million pretax non-cash charge for NRV inventory reserves that are required to offset the Company’s aggregate net debit LIFO inventory balance that exceeds current inventory replacement cost. Rising inventory costs in 2018 resulted in a $28.6 million pretax LIFO inventory valuation reserve charge, which was offset by a $27.9 million pretax non-cash benefit for NRV inventory reserves.index pricing mechanisms.

This restructuring chargeThe following is excluded from segment operating results.depreciation & amortization by business segment:
Gain on Joint Venture Deconsolidation
On March 1, 2018, we announced the formation of A&T Stainless, in which ATI has a 50% ownership interest. Our joint venture partner purchased its 50% joint venture interest during the first quarter of 2018, and as a result of this sale and the subsequent deconsolidation of the A&T Stainless entity, we recognized a $15.9 million gain in the first quarter of 2018. This gain is reported in other income, net, on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and is excluded from FRP segment results.
Joint Venture Impairment Charge
We recorded an $11.4 million impairment charge in 2019 for the A&T Stainless joint venture, including ATI’s share of a long-lived asset impairment charge recognized by the joint venture on the carrying value of its production facility in Midland, PA. ATI recognized a $7.1 million equity loss for its 50% share of a $14.2 million long-lived asset impairment recognized by A&T Stainless. In addition, as of December 31, 2019, ATI had net receivables for working capital advances and administrative services from A&T Stainless of $36.8 million that were also evaluated for collectability, and a $4.3 million reserve was recorded in December 2019 based ATI’s share of the estimated fair value of the joint venture’s net assets. This charge is excluded from FRP segment results.
Gains on Asset Sales, net
During the third quarter of 2019, we completed the sale of our Cast Products business for $127 million. This business produced titanium investment castings that are primarily used by aerospace & defense OEMs in the production of commercial jet airframes and engines. We recognized a $6.2 million gain in 2019, which included a $10.2 million impairment charge on the carrying value of long-lived assets of the retained Salem operation. During the second quarter of 2019, we completed the sale of two non-core forging facilities, located in Portland, IN and Lebanon, KY, that used primarily traditional forging methods to produce carbon steel forged products for use in the oil & gas, transportation and construction & mining industries. We recognized an $8.1 million pre-tax loss in 2019. Both of these divested businesses were previously reported as part of the HPMC segment. Also during the second and third quarters of 2019, we recognized $91.7 million of total cash gains on sales of certain oil and gas rights in Eddy County, NM. Results for 2019 include $89.8 million in net pretax gains from these non-core asset sales which are reported in other income, net, on the consolidated statement of income and are excluded from segment operating results.
Debt Extinguishment Charge
In December 2019, we redeemed all $500 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes, resulting in a $21.6 million pre-tax debt extinguishment charge, which included a $20.9 million cash payment as a make-whole provision on the early extinguishment of debt, and a $0.7 million charge for previously-unrecognized debt issue costs.

Strike Related Costs
Strike related costs were $63.2 million in 2021, of which $59.7 million were excluded from AA&S segment EBITDA and $3.5 million were excluded from HPMC segment EBITDA. These items primarily consisted of overhead costs recognized in the period due to below-normal operating rates, higher costs for outside conversion activities, and signing bonuses for represented employees.
Retirement Benefit Settlement Gain
ATI’s 2021 results reflectedinclude a three-year cumulative loss from U.S.$64.9 million retirement benefit settlement gain related to a plan termination that eliminated certain postretirement medical benefit liabilities. This was effective upon the July 2021 ratification of the new USW CBA. This gain, which is recorded in nonoperating retirement benefit income/expense on the consolidated statement of operations and valuation allowances were establishedis excluded from segment EBITDA, was comprised of $43.0 million of long-term postretirement benefit liabilities as of July 2021 and $21.9 million of amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income at that date.
Debt Extinguishment Charge
In 2021, ATI recognized a $65.5 million debt extinguishment charge on our federal and state deferred tax assets as accounting standards limit the ability to consider projectionsredemption of future results as positive evidence to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets in situations where5.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (2023 Notes), which included a three year cumulative loss condition exists. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act made broad and complex changes$64.5 million cash make-whole payment related to the U.S. tax code. Certain sectionsearly extinguishment of the Internal Revenue Code are still being finalized,2023 Notes as required by the applicable indenture, and a $1.0 million charge for deferred debt issue costs.
Gains/Loss on Asset Sales and Sale of Business, Net
On May 12, 2022, we completed the sale of our results continue to reflect changesSheffield, UK operations and recognized a loss in 2022 on sale of $141.0 million. The Sheffield, UK operations were previously part of the Specialty Materials business in the interpretive guidance sinceHPMC segment. The loss on sale is reported in loss on asset sales and sales of businesses, net, on the Tax Actconsolidated statement of operations and is excluded from HPMC segment results. The loss includes $55.6 million related to the UK defined benefit pension plan, of which $26.1 million was enacted.

In 2018, we reported income before tax of $247.7as a net pension asset but which was in a deficit funding position for UK statutory reporting purposes, and $29.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated ATI balance sheet. The loss also includes $20.0 million of which $190.8 million was attributable tocumulative translation adjustment foreign exchange losses since ATI’s acquisition of these operations in 1998.

Also in 2022, we completed the U.S. The overall income, along with certain taxable income inclusions, resulted in ATI utilizing net operating loss (NOL) deferred tax assets in 2018, causing a U.S. valuation allowance release of $46.3 million for 2018. At December 31, 2018, we continued to maintain a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, with the exceptionsale of the indefinite lived deferred tax liability related to goodwill and the withholding tax liability associated with our permanent reinvestment assertion, and also maintaned valuation allowances for certain foreign operations.

At December 31, 2019, our U.S. results have switched from a three-year cumulative loss position to a three-year cumulative income position, allowing us to utilize forecasts of future profits as a source of income when evaluating the overall need for a valuation allowance. We determined that valuation allowances on net deferred tax asset balances for federal and certain state jurisdictions are no longer required. Certain individual tax attributes still require a valuation allowance based on expected utilization. The change in the overall valuation allowance for 2019 includes amounts utilized during the yearsmall Pico Rivera, CA operations as part of the reported effective tax rate, as well as a $45.1strategy to exit standard stainless products. We received cash proceeds of $6.2 million reduction at December 31, 2019 based on a change in judgment on the realizabilitysale of deferred taxthese assets. We recognized a $6.8 million pretax gain on sale, including de-recognizing certain lease liabilities, which is reported in loss on asset sales and sales of businesses, net, on the consolidated statement of operations and is excluded from AA&S segment results.

In 2021, we completed the sale of our Flowform Products business within the HPMC segment for $55.0 million, and recognized a $13.8 million gain. This gain is recorded in nonoperating income/expense on the consolidated statement of operations and is excluded from segment EBITDA.
Income Taxes
Results in 20192022 and 20182021 include impacts from income taxes that differ from applicable standard tax rates, primarily related to income tax valuation allowances which lowered the effective tax rate on pre-tax income.allowances. The 2019provision for income tax benefittaxes for 2022 was $28.5$15.5 million, which included the $45.1 million discrete tax benefitwas primarily related to the release of U.S. federal and state valuation allowances, along with the current year benefit related to the release of valuation allowances due to positive incomeour profitable PRS joint venture in 2019. Total discrete tax items including this valuation allowance change were a $41.9 million tax benefit in 2019, and our effective tax rate excluding these items was 5.5% of pre-tax income in 2019. In 2018, we reported an income tax provision of $11.0 million, or 4.4% of the pre-tax income in 2018, which also included benefits from NOL utilization and related valuation allowance changes. Following this change in judgment on deferred tax asset realizability, we expect to report our results in future periods using a 23-25% tax rate, although we willChina. We continue to have minimal cash tax requirements in the U.S. due to the ongoing benefits of NOLnet operating loss tax carryforwardscarryforwards.
The provision for income taxes for 2021 was $26.8 million, which was primarily attributable to the next few years.$15.5 million in discrete tax effects related to the postretirement medical benefits gain discussed above, in accordance with ATI’s accounting policy for recognizing deferred tax amounts stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
On September 30, 2019,9, 2022, we amended and restated our ABLAsset Based Lending (ABL) Credit Facility, which is collateralized by the accounts receivable and inventory of our domestic operations. As amended, the ABL facility also provides us with the option of including certain machinery and equipment as additional collateral for purposes of determining availability under the facility. This amendment and restatement extendsextended the ABL facility through September 30, 20242027 and includes an increase of $100 million in the revolving credit facility, to $500 million,$600 million. The ABL continues to include a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $200 million, and a $100$200 million term loan (Term(ABL Term Loan). Additionally, the amendment, and restatement gives us the ability, through June 30, 2020 and as long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, to borrow an additional terma swing loan facility of up to $100$60 million. The ABL Term Loan can be prepaid in increments of $25 million in total, using one or two draws (the Delayed-Draw Term Loan). We alsoif certain minimum liquidity conditions are satisfied. In addition, as amended, we have the right to request an increase of up to $200$300 million in the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility for the duration of the ABL. The Term Loan has an amended interest rate of 2.0% plusWe have a LIBOR spread and can be prepaid in increments of $25 million if certain minimum liquidity conditions are satisfied. In July 2019, we amended our $50 million floating-for-fixed interest rate swap which converts halfa portion of the ABL Term Loan to a 4.21% fixed rate (now 4.21% following the September 30, 2019 ABL amendment and restatement) with ainterest rate. The swap matures in June 2024 maturity.2024.
As of December 31, 2022, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit portion of the ABL, and $39.8 million was utilized to support the issuance of letters of credit. There were no revolving credit borrowings under the ABL during 2022 or 2021.
The ABL, as amended, and restated,has interest rates that are consistent with the previous facility, replacing LIBOR with Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus an applicable SOFR adjustment. The ABL Term Loan, as amended, has an interest rate of 2.0% above adjusted SOFR. As amended, the applicable interest rate for revolving credit borrowings under the ABL facility includes interest rate spreads based on available borrowing capacity that range between 1.25% and 1.75% for LIBOR-basedSOFR-based borrowings and between 0.25% and 0.75% for base rate borrowings.
The ABL facility contains a financial covenant whereby we must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00:1.00 after an event of default has occurred and is continuing or if the undrawn availability under the ABL revolving credit portion of the facility is less than the greater of (i) 12.5%10% of the then applicable maximum borrowingloan amount under the revolving credit portion of the ABL and anythe outstanding ABL Term Loan balance, or (ii) $62.5$60.0 million.

At December 31, 2019,2022, we had $491$584 million of cash and cash equivalents, and available additional liquidity from the undrawn capacity under the ABL facility of approximately $450 million.$538 million, for total liquidity of more than $1.1 billion. We do not expectcontinue to pay any significant U.S. federal or state income taxeshave minimal cash tax requirements in the next several yearsU.S. due to the ongoing benefits of net operating loss tax carryforwards.
During the second and third quarters of 2019,2021, we received approximately $250$53 million in cash, from non-core asset sales, net of closing adjustments and transaction costs consisting of $33 million for the sale of two non-core forging facilities, $125 millionand net working capital adjustments, for the sale of the CastFlowform Products business, and $92 million for the sale of certain oil and gas rights in Eddy County, NM.business.
In 2019,2022, the Company made $145$50 million in voluntary cash contributions to its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans.plans to improve the plans’ funded position. As a result of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) enacted in March 2021, the rules governing pension funding calculations changed. Based on current actuarial assumptions, we are not required to make any contributions to these pension trust assets as of December 31, 2019,plans during fiscal year 2023, and theour prior contributions have generated a credit balance that may be utilized to offset future minimum required contributions. Using our long-term weighted average expected rate of return on pension plan assets in future years,and other actuarial assumptions, we currentlydo not expect ourto have any minimum cash funding requirements to the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans to be approximately $130 million in 2020, and to have annual funding requirements of approximately $85 million to these pension plans for the next few years thereafter.years. However, these funding estimates are subject to significant uncertainty including the actual pension trust assets’ fair value, and the discount rates used to measure pension liabilities. We voluntarily contributed $50 million to these plans in early 2023. We may elect to contribute additional amounts to these pension plans to improve their funded position, or we may elect to use a portion of our credit balance in lieu of cash contributions based on other capital allocation priorities.
On February 2, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $150 million of ATI stock. Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases are structured to occur within the pricing and volume requirements of SEC Rule 10b-18. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and it may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time by the Board of Directors without prior notice. In 2022, we used $139.9 million to repurchase 5.2 million of our common stock under this program.
We believe that internally generated funds, current cash on hand and available borrowings under the ABL facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs, including currently projected required contributions to our pension plans. We do not expect to pay any significant U.S. federal or state income taxes in the next several years due to net operating loss carryforwards. 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. In addition, we regularly review our capital structure, various financing alternatives and conditions in the debt and equity markets in order to opportunistically enhance our capital structure. In connection therewith, we may seek to refinance or retire existing indebtedness, incur new or additional indebtedness or issue equity or equity-linked securities, in each case, depending on market and other conditions.
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of SEC Regulation S-K.
Cash Flow and Working Capital
Cash provided by operations for 2019 was $230.1 million, including cash provided by an $88.4 million reduction in managed working capital balances. This was despite $29 million in short-term working capital advances to the A&T Stainless joint venture for 2019 and $145 million of cash contributions to ATI’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2019. Cash provided by operations was $392.8 million in 2018, which included a $74.1 million reduction in managed working capital balances and was partially offset by $40 million in cash contributions to ATI’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans and $11 million in short-term working capital advances to the A&T Stainless joint venture.
As part of managing the liquidity of our business, we focus on controlling managed working capital, which is defined as gross accounts receivable, short-term contract assets and gross inventories, less accounts payable and short-term contract liabilities. In measuring performance in controlling this managed working capital, we exclude the effects of LIFO and other inventory valuation reserves, and reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable which, due to their nature, are managed separately. We measure managed working capital as a percentage of the prior three months annualized sales to evaluate our performance based on recent levels of business volume. In 2019, managed working capital decreased to 30.0% of annualized total ATI sales compared to 31.6% of annualized sales at December 31, 2018, a 160 basis point reduction despite year-over-year business growth. The $88.4 million decrease in managed working capital in 2019 resulted from a $12.7 million decrease in short-term contract assets, a $70.9 million decrease in inventory, a $22.4 million increase in accounts payable and $7.3 million increase in short-term contract liabilities, partially offset by a $24.9 million increase in accounts receivable. Days sales outstanding, which measures actual collection timing for accounts receivable, worsened by approximately 3% at year-end 2019 compared to 2018. Gross inventory turns, which exclude the effect of LIFO and any applicable offsetting NRV inventory valuation reserves, remained consistent in 2019 compared to 2018.

Cash provided by investing activities was $81.7 million in 2019, reflecting $250.1 million in net proceeds from non-core asset sales consisting of $33.0 million for the sale of two non-core forging facilities, $125.1 million for the sale of the Cast Products business and $92.0 million of proceeds from property, plant and equipment, largely due to the sale of certain oil and gas rights in Eddy County, NM. Capital expenditures for 2019 were $168.2 million primarily related to HMPC growth projects including the previously announced new iso-thermal press and heat-treating expansion in Cudahy, WI. Cash used in investing activities in 2018 was $145.1, consisting primarily of $139.2 million of capital expenditures and $10.0 million for the acquisition of Addaero, a metal alloy-based additive manufacturer for the aerospace & defense industries.
Cash used in financing activities in 2019 was $203.0 million, with $507.6 million of payments on long-term debt and finance leases consisting largely of the redemption of all $500 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes outstanding. The redemption included a $20.9 million cash make-whole payment related to the early extinguishment of this debt as required under the applicable indenture. Borrowings on long-term debt were $350.0 million reflecting the issuance of the 2027 Notes. Such issuance included $5.5 million of payments for underwriting fees and other third-party expenses. Cash used in financing activities in 2019 also reflects a $14.0 million dividend payment to the 40% noncontrolling interest in our STAL joint venture. Cash used in financing activities in 2018 was $7.3 million, consisting of $10.0 million in dividend payments to the 40% noncontrolling interest in our STAL joint venture and a $5.9 million reduction in foreign credit facility borrowings, partially offset by $2.7 million for the sale of noncontrolling interest related to Next Gen Alloys, our meltless titanium alloy powder joint venture with GE, and $12.0 million of installment payments from our joint venture partner for the $17.5 million purchase price of its 50% joint venture interest in A&T Stainless.
At December 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents on hand totaled $490.8 million, a $108.8 million increase from year-end 2018. Cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries was $52.3 million at December 31, 2019, of which $22.9 million was held by the STAL joint venture.
Debt
Total debt outstanding declined in 2019 to $1,411.2 million at December 31, 2019, due to the $150 net reduction from the redemption of the 2021 Notes partially offset by the issuance of the 2027 Notes.
In managing our overall capital structure, somewe focus on the ratio of the measures onnet debt to Adjusted EBITDA, which we focus are debt to EBITDA, which measuresuse as a measure of our ability to repay our incurred debt,debt. We define net debt toas the total capitalization, which is the percentageprincipal balance of our debt,outstanding indebtedness excluding deferred financing costs, net of cash, that may be available to reduce borrowings, toat the balance sheet date. See the explanations above for our total invested and borrowed capital, and total debt to total capitalization, which excludes cash balances. We define EBITDA as income from continuing operations before interest and income taxes, plus depreciation and amortization. We definedefinitions of Adjusted EBITDA asand EBITDA, excluding significant non-cash charges or credits, including goodwill impairment charges, restructuring charges including long-lived asset impairments,which are non-GAAP measures and other postretirement/pension curtailment and settlement gains and losses. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors because these measures are commonly used to analyze companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and liquidity. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and capital expenditures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as alternatives to, a measure of operating performance as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Cash Flow
Cash provided by operations for 2022 was $224.9 million. Working capital balances, and consequently cash provided by operations, can fluctuate throughout any operating period based upon the timing of receipts from customers and payments to vendors. However, we actively manage our working capital to ensure the required flexibility to meet our strategic objectives. Increased cash from operations in 2022 as compared to 2021, resulted from our ongoing efforts to improve efficiency around accounts receivable and inventory levels despite significantly higher sales and operating levels in most operations. Increased business volumes and expenditures attributable to strategic capital projects contributed to higher accounts payable balances at December 31, 2018,2022. Other significant 2022 operating cash flow items included $50 million in contributions to the U.S. defined benefit pension plans, payment of 2021 annual incentive compensation and net debtreceipt of $8.5 million for repayment of working capital advances from A&T Stainless. Cash provided by operations was $16.1 million in 2021, despite higher accounts receivable and inventory balances related to Adjusted EBITDA ratioincreased business activity and rising raw material costs. Other significant 2021 operating cash flow items included $67.5 million in contributions to the U.S. defined benefit pension plans and payment of 2020 annual incentive compensation, partially offset by receipt of advance payments from customers as part of long-term supply agreements in 2021.

On November 22, 2019, we issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes. Net proceeds of $344.5 million from this issuance were used, togethercapital expenditures with cash on hand and cash flow generated from our operations and, if needed, by using a portion of the ABL facility. Cash used in investing activities was $77.3 million in 2021, reflecting $152.6 million in capital expenditures, primarily related to redeem allAA&S transformation projects, and HPMC growth projects including the new iso-thermal press and heat-treating expansion in Cudahy, WI. These investing activity cash outflows were partially offset by $53.1 million of proceeds from the sale of the Flowform Products business and $20.8 million of proceeds from property, plant and equipment sales, which includes $16.2 million from the sale of ongoing construction in progress projects that were converted to leases.
Cash used in financing activities in 2022 was $201.9 million, and consisted primarily of $139.9 million toward the repurchase of ATI shares and $34.0 million in dividend payments to the 40% noncontrolling interest in our PRS joint venture in China.

from the issuance of the 4.875% Senior Notes due 2029 (2029 Notes) and 5.125% Senior Notes due 2031 (2031 Notes) and $21.7 million of borrowings under foreign credit facilities. These amounts were offset by the full redemption of the $500 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 5.95% 2021 Notes in December 2019.
The 5.875% stated interest rate payable on our $500 million Notes due 2023 (2023 Notes) is subject to adjustment in the event of changes in the credit ratings on the 2023 Notes, by either Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s (S&P). Each notch of credit rating downgrade froma $64.5 million cash make-whole payment related to the credit ratings in effect when the 2023 Notes were issued in July 2013 increases interest expense by 0.25% on the 2023 Notes, up to a maximum of four notches by each of the two rating agencies, or a total 2.0% potential interest rate change up to 7.875%.
The 2023 Notes presently bear the maximum 7.875% annual interest rate as a result of credit rating downgrades. Any further credit rating downgrades have no effect on the interest rateearly extinguishment of the 2023 Notes as required by the applicable indenture, and increases in$9.5 million for debt issuance costs associated with the newly-issued 2029 and 2031 Notes.
At December 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents on hand totaled $584.0 million, a $103.7 million decrease from year-end 2021. Cash and cash equivalents held by our credit ratings from these ratings agencies would reduce interest expense incrementally on the 2023 Notes to the original 5.875% interest rate in a similar manner. In November 2019, Moody’s increasedforeign subsidiaries was $102.6 million at December 31, 2022, of which $53.5 million was held by our credit rating one notch, to B1 with a stable outlook, however our credit rating from both rating agencies remains below the level at which the current 2023 Notes interest rate would reset to a lower

rate. At our present credit rating levels, we would need a one-notch ratings upgrade by Moody’s, to Ba3, and a two-notch increase by S&P, to BB-, before the 2023 Notes interest rate would be lowered in each case by 0.25%.
STAL, the Company’s ChinesePRS joint venture company in which ATI has a 60% interest, has a separate $20 million revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the STAL revolving credit facility are in U.S. dollars based on U.S. interbank offered rates. The credit facility is supported solely by STAL’s financial capability without any guarantees from the joint venture partners. The credit facility requires STAL to maintain a minimum level of shareholders’ equity, and certain financial ratios.China.

(F)At December 31, 2019, there were no amounts drawn under foreign credit agreements. Drawn amounts on the U.S. facility were $35.3 million utilized under the $500 million ABL facility for standby letters of credit, which renew annually. These letters of credit are used to support: $29.8 million in workers’ compensation and general insurance arrangements, $5.4 million related to environmental matters and $0.1 million for ATI’s assurance of performance to a customer.

Commitments and Contingencies
At December 31, 2019,2022, our reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled approximately $18$13 million,, of which $7$5 million was included in other current liabilities. These reserves included estimated probable future costs of: $3$3 million for federal Superfund and comparable state-managed sites; $13$8 million for formerly owned or operated sites for remediation or indemnification obligations; $1and $2 million for owned or controlled sites at which our operations have been discontinued; and $1 million for sites utilized by the Company in its ongoing operations.or plan to be discontinued. We continue to evaluate whether we may be able to recover a portion of future costs for environmental liabilities from third parties and to pursue such recoveries where appropriate. The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site. ATI 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.
At December 31, 2019,2022, we had recognized asset retirement obligations (AROs) of $24$18 million related to landfill closures, decommissioning costs, facility leases and conditional AROs associated with manufacturing activities using what may be characterized as potentially hazardous materials.
Based on currently available information, it is reasonably possible that the costs for active matters may exceed our recorded reserves by as much as $16$15 million. However, future investigation or remediation activities may result in the discovery of additional hazardous materials, potentially higher levels of contamination than discovered during prior investigation, and may impact costs of the success or lack thereof in remedial solutions. Therefore, future developments, administrative actions or liabilities relating to environmental matters could have a material adverse effect on the ATI’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Labor Matters
We currently are involvedhave no significant CBAs that expire in negotiation on our next significant collective bargaining2023. Approximately 1,100 USW-represented employees engaged in a 3 ½ month strike in mid-2021, following the expiration of a CBA, primarily affecting operations in the AA&S segment. In July 2021, we announced that a new four-year labor agreement with the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied & Industrial Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC (USW), which expiresUSW through February 29, 2020 involving approximately 1,500 USW-represented full-time employees located primarily within28, 2025 was ratified, ending the FRP segment operations and at two facilities in the HPMC segment.strike.
Retirement Benefits
All of ATI’s defined benefit pension plans are now closed to new entrants, and at most ATI operations with pension participants, the plans are frozen for all future benefit accruals, with less than 10% of participants in ATI’s U.S. qualified defined benefit plans still earning additional pension service. Additionally, all of the remaining collectively-bargained defined benefit retiree health care plans at ATI’s operations are now closed to new entrants, with cost caps in place for these obligations. As a result of these actions, ATI’s retirement savings and other postretirement benefit programs have largely transitioned to a defined contribution structure.
At December 31, 2019, our Since 2013, five annuity buyouts of retired participants and two voluntary cash out programs of deferred participants during this period have helped to reduce the total participants in ATI’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans by more than 60%.
At December 31, 2022, our defined benefit pension plans were approximately 73%88% funded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and were remeasured at that date using a 3.40%5.55% discount rate to measure the projected benefit obligation. For ERISA funding purposes, discount rates used to measure pension liabilities for U.S. qualified defined benefit plans are calculated on a different basis using an IRS-determined segmented yield curve, which currently results in a higher discount rate than the discount rate methodology required by accounting standards.curve. Funding requirements are also affected by IRS-determined mortality assumptions, which may differ from those used under accounting standards. As a result of the ARPA enacted in March 2021, the rules governing pension funding calculations changed. Based uponon current regulations and actuarial studies,assumptions, we currently expectare not required to make approximately $130 million in cashany contributions to the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2020, and we expect to have average annual funding requirements of approximately $85 million to these pension plans for the next few years thereafter, usingduring fiscal year 2023, and our prior contributions have generated a 7.16% weighted average expected rate of return on pension plan assets.credit balance that may be utilized to offset future minimum required contributions. However, these estimates are subject to significant uncertainty, including the performance of our pension trust assets and the discount rates used to measure pension liabilities. Pension trust asset performance for both our accounting and ERISA funding calculations is determined using the market value of plan assets at the end of each year.
DividendsWe have certain CBAs that include participation in a multiemployer pension plan. Under current law, an employer that withdraws or partially withdraws from a multiemployer pension plan may incur a withdrawal liability to the plan, which represents the portion of the plan’s underfunding that is allocable to the withdrawing employer under very complex actuarial and allocation rules. A subsidiary of the Company participates in the Steelworkers Western Independent Shops Pension Plan (WISPP) for union-represented employees of our primary titanium operations in Albany, OR, which is funded on an hours-worked basis. Manufacturing operations at this facility have been idled throughout 2021 and most of 2022, with a limited number of employees that participate in the WISPP remaining active in maintenance and other functions. It is reasonably possible that a significant reduction or the elimination of hours-worked contributions due to changes in operating rates at this facility could result in a withdrawal liability assessment in a future period. A complete withdrawal liability is estimated to be approximately $27 million on an undiscounted basis, based on information for the plan year ended September 30, 2021, which

is the fourth quartermost recent information available from the Plan Administrator.

Critical Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. When more than one accounting principle, or the method of its application, is generally accepted, management selects the principle or method that is most appropriate in our specific circumstances. Application of these accounting principles requires our management to make estimates about the future resolution of existing uncertainties; as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of the amounts and disclosures included in the financial statements giving due regard to materiality.
Inventories
At December 31, 2019, we had net inventory of $1,155.3 million. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (LIFO, FIFO and average cost methods) or market. 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. 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. Generally, over time based on overall inflationary trends in raw materials, labor and overhead costs, the use of the LIFO inventory valuation method will result in a LIFO inventory valuation reserve, as the higher current period costs are included in cost of sales and the balance sheet carrying value of inventory is reduced.
The prices for many of the raw materials we use have been volatile during the past several years, while labor and overhead costs have been generally stable, with a modest inflationary trend. Raw material cost changes typically have the largest impact on the LIFO inventory costing methodology based on the overall proportion of raw material costs to other inventoriable costs. Since we value most of our inventory utilizing the LIFO inventory costing methodology, a fall in material costs generally results in a benefit to operating results by reducing cost of sales and increasing the inventory carrying value, while conversely, a rise in raw material costs generally has a negative effect on our operating results by increasing cost of sales while lowering the carrying value of inventory. For example, for the year ended December 31, 2019, the LIFO inventory valuation method resulted in cost of sales that were $25.5 million lower than would have been recognized under the FIFO methodology to value our inventory, while in 2018, the LIFO inventory valuation method resulted in cost of sales that were $28.6 million higher than would have been recognized under the FIFO methodology to value our inventory. Our NRV reserves were $33.6 million and $8.0 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Due primarily to persistent raw material deflation in prior years, we are in the unusual situation of having a LIFO inventory balance that exceeds replacement cost. In cases where inventory at FIFO cost is lower than the LIFO carrying value, a write-down of the inventory to market may be required, subject to a lower of cost or market evaluation. In applying the lower of cost or market principle, market means current replacement cost, subject to a ceiling (market value shall not exceed net realizable value) and a floor (market shall not be less than net realizable value reduced by an allowance for a normal profit margin). We evaluate product lines on a quarterly basis to identify inventory values that exceed estimated net realizable value. The calculation of a resulting NRV inventory reserve, if any, is recognized as an expense in the period that the need for the reserve is identified.

The impact to our cost of sales for changes in the LIFO costing methodology and associated NRV inventory reserves were as follows (in millions):
  Fiscal year ended December 31,
  201920182017
LIFO benefit (charge) $25.5
$(28.6)$(54.2)
NRV benefit (charge) (25.6)27.9
54.0
Net cost of sales impact $(0.1)$(0.7)$(0.2)
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 certain products.
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.
Asset Impairment
We monitor the recoverability of the carrying value of our long-lived assets. An impairment charge is recognized when the expected net undiscounted future cash flows from an asset’s use (including any proceeds from disposition) are less than the asset’s carrying value, and the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. Changes in the expected use of a long-lived asset group, and the financial performance of the long-lived asset group and its operating segment, are evaluated as indicators of possible impairment. Future cash flow value may include appraisals for property, plant and equipment, land and improvements, future cash flow estimates from operating the long-lived assets, and other operating considerations. In
On December 2, 2020, we announced a strategic repositioning of our SRP business within the AA&S segment, with a focus of increasing emphasis on the specialty rolled products portion of its product portfolio, which comprise titanium-based alloys including aerospace-grade titanium plate products, nickel-based alloys, and stainless products with more differentiated characteristics for specialty applications, including thin-gauge PRS. The December 2, 2020 decision to exit production of standard stainless products represented a significant indicator of impairment in the carrying value of certain long-lived assets. Based on projected cash flows of the Brackenridge, PA operations, including the HRPF, we completed a fair value analysis as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of each year2020 and recognized a $1,032.6 million impairment charge for this facility based on an estimated fair value of $354 million. This long-lived asset impairment charge was determined using a held in conjunction withuse framework and an income approach, which represents Level 3 unobservable information in the annual business planning cycle, or more frequently if new material information is available,fair value hierarchy. This impairment assessment and valuation method require us to make estimates and assumptions regarding future operating results, cash flows, changes in working capital and capital expenditures, selling prices, profitability, and the cost of capital. Many of these assumptions are determined by reference to market participants we evaluatehave identified. For example, the recoverabilityweighted average cost of idled facilities.capital (WACC) used in our discounted cash flow assessment was 9.3% and the long-term growth rate was 2%. Although we believe that the estimates and assumptions used were reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Goodwill is reviewed annually in the fourth quarter of each year for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Other events and changes in circumstances may also require goodwill to be tested for impairment between annual measurement dates. At December 31, 2022, the Company had $227.2 million of goodwill on its consolidated balance sheet, all of which relates to the HPMC segment. Goodwill decreased $0.7 million in 2022 due to foreign currency translation on goodwill denominated in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
For our annual goodwill impairment evaluation performed in the fourth quarter of 2019,2022, quantitative goodwill assessments were performed for the two HPMC reporting units with goodwill. Fair values were determined by using a quantitative assessment that may include discounted cash flow and multiples of cash earnings valuation techniques, plus valuation comparisons to recent public sale transactions of similar businesses, if any, which represents Level 3 unobservable information in the fair value hierarchy. These impairment assessments and valuation methods require us to make estimates and assumptions regarding future operating results, cash flows,revenue growth, changes in working capital and capital expenditures, selling prices and profitability that drive cash flows, and the cost of capital.WACC. Many of these assumptions are determined by reference to market participants we have identified. For example, our weighted average cost of capitalWACC used in our discounted cash flow assessments was approximately 11%11.7% and long-term growth rates ranged from 3% to 3.5%. The estimated effect of a 0.50% change in the WACC would result in a 10% change in the fair value of the Forged Products reporting unit. Although we believe that the estimates and assumptions used were reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
The $227.2 million of goodwill remaining as of December 31, 2022 on our consolidated balance sheet is comprised of $161.2 million at the Forged Products reporting unit and $66.0 million at the Specialty Materials reporting unit. For our annual goodwill impairment evaluation performed in the fourth quarter of 2022, the Specialty Materials reporting unit had a fair value that was significantly in excess of carrying value. The Forged Products reporting unit had a fair value that exceeded carrying value by more than 50% for the 2022 annual assessment, which increased compared to the annual evaluation for 2021. As a result, no impairments were determined to exist from the annual goodwill impairment evaluation for the years ended
35


December 31, 2022, 2021 or 2020. In order to validate the reasonableness of the estimated fair values of the reporting units as of the valuation date, a reconciliation of the aggregate fair values of all reporting units to market capitalization was performed using a reasonable control premiumpremium. In addition, no indicators of impairment were observed in order to validate2022 or 2021 associated with any of our long-lived assets in the reasonableness of the estimated fair values of the reporting units as of the valuation date. No impairments were determined to exist from the annual goodwill impairment evaluations for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. For the 2019 evaluation, our two HPMC reporting units with goodwill had fair values that were significantly in excess of carrying value.segment.
During the thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2020, we performed an interim goodwill impairment analysis on ATI Castthe Forged Products a titanium investment casting business, due to impairment indicators including lower actual results versus projections. This reporting unit had aand its $460.4 million goodwill balance based on assessed potential indicators of impairment, including recent disruptions to the global commercial aerospace market resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the increasing uncertainty of near-term demand requirements of aero-engine and airframe markets based on government responses to the pandemic and ongoing interactions with customers. For the 2020 interim impairment analysis, fair value was determined by a quantitative assessment that exceeded carrying value by 12% asused a result of our 2016 annual goodwill impairment evaluation.discounted cash flow technique. As a result of the 2017second quarter 2020 interim goodwill impairment evaluation, we determined that the fair value of the CastForged Products businessreporting unit was significantly below the carrying value, including goodwill.goodwill, by $287.0 million. This was primarily due to changes in the timing and amount of expected cash flows resulting from lower projected revenues, profitability and cash flows associated with revised expectations for the rate of operational improvement and profitability of this business based on current customer agreements.due to near-term reductions in commercial aerospace market demand. Consequently, during the thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2020, we recorded a $114.4$287.0 million pre-tax impairment charge to write-off allfor the partial impairment of theForged Products reporting unit goodwill, associated with ATI Cast Products, most of which was assigned from ourthe Company’s 2011 Ladish acquisition that was not deductible for income tax purposes.
As part of the divestiture of the titanium investment castings business, which was completed early in the third quarter 2019, ATI retained a small post-casting machining operation in Salem, OR. We recognized a $10.2 million impairment charge on the

carrying value of long-lived assets of the retained Salem operation ($4.5 million for property, plant and equipment, $1.4 million for operating lease right of use assets, $1.0 million for finance lease right of use assets, and $3.3 million of finite-lived intangible assets). This long-lived asset impairment charge was based on an analysis of the estimated fair values, including asset appraisals using market approaches, which represent Level 3 unobservable information in the fair value hierarchy. This impairment charge is categorized as part of the net gain on sale of the titanium investment castings business.

Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code. Changes impacting ATI’s tax provision for the past three years include the following:

(1) Reducing the U.S. federal current and deferred rate to 21%; The change in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% resulted in a $2.6 million benefit, which was recognized in 2017, as it related to the remeasurement of indefinite lived deferred tax liabilities.

(2) Repeal of the alternative minimum tax, which resulted in a $1.5 million decrease in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance that was recognized in 2017. This tax benefit, along with the benefit related to the remeasurement of indefinite lived deferred tax assets is combined for a total benefit of $4.1 million.

(3) Requiring companies to pay a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries, with $5.9 million included in the 2018 tax provision.

(4) Requiring a current year inclusion in U.S. federal taxable income of certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations, commonly referred to as Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI), for which we are currently utilizing pre-January 1, 2018 net operating losses (NOLs) to offset the 2019 income inclusion of $16.8 million ($3.5 million net tax effect) and utilized pre-January 1, 2018 losses in 2018 to offset the $25.7 million ($5.4 million net tax effect) inclusion.

(5) Creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense, for which we have estimated the federal limitation to be $24 million in 2019, creating an indefinite lived deferred tax asset for which a valuation allowance was not established. This limitation is affected by the interpretation of the meaning of depreciation in the proposed regulations, which could change as additional guidance and/or final regulations are issued. We continue to analyze additional planning around the overall calculation and continue to wait for final regulations.
The provision for or benefit from, income taxes includes deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences in income for financial and tax purposes using the liability method. Such temporary differences result primarily from differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Future realization of deferred income tax assets requires sufficient taxable income within the carryback and/or carryforward period available under tax law. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets.
The evaluation includes the consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, regarding the estimated future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, historical taxable income in prior carryback periods if carryback is permitted, and potential tax planning strategies which may be employed to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused.

Valuation allowances are established when it is estimated that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
BeginningResults in 2015, ATI results reflected2022, 2021 and 2020 include impacts from income taxes that differ from applicable standard tax rates, primarily related to income tax valuation allowances. In 2020, ATI’s U.S. operations returned to a three yearthree-year cumulative loss from U.S. operations, andposition, limiting our ability to utilize future projections as sources of income when analyzing the need for a valuation allowance. The consolidated income tax provision of $77.7 million for fiscal year 2020 primarily relates to increases to deferred tax asset valuation allowances were establishedbased on its’ federalan analysis of the expected realization of deferred tax assets and liabilities within applicable expiration periods. In 2021 and 2022, ATI continued to maintain income tax valuation allowances on its U.S. Federal and state deferred tax assets. In 2017, our results reflected a partial release of the valuation allowance related to the federal and state deferred tax assets, along with the one-time transition tax inclusion in 2017. In 2018 based upon updated guidance, approximately $28.2addition, we have $67.5 million of available tax credits were used instead of the NOL to offset the transition tax inclusion. This overall change in presentation was reflected within the 2018 effective tax rate.
In 2018, we reported income before tax of $247.7 million, of which $190.8 million was attributable to the U.S. The overall income, along with the GILTI inclusion for the year, resulted in ATI utilizing NOL deferred tax assets in 2018, which resulted in a U.S. valuation allowance release of $46.3 million for 2018. At December 31, 2018, we continued to maintain a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, with the exception of the indefinite

lived deferred tax liability related to goodwill and the withholding tax liability associated with its permanent reinvestment assertion, as well as valuation allowances for certain foreign operations.
At December 31, 2019, our U.S. results have switched from a three-year cumulative loss position to a three-year cumulative income position, allowing ATI to utilize forecasts of future profits as a source of income when evaluating the overall need for a valuation allowance. We determined that valuation allowances on net deferred tax asset balances for federal and certain state jurisdictions are no longer required. Certain individual tax attributes still require a valuation allowance basedamounts recorded in other comprehensive loss on expected utilization.

Therefore, a change in estimate of deferred tax asset valuation allowances for federal, state, or foreign jurisdictions during this cumulative loss condition period will primarily be affected by changes in estimates of the time periods that deferred tax assets and liabilities will be realized, or on a limited basis to tax planning strategies that may result in a change in the amount of taxable income realized.
Retirement Benefits

We have defined contribution retirement plans or benefit pension plans covering substantially all of our employees. We also sponsor several postretirement plans covering certain hourly and salaried employees and retirees. These plans provide health care and life insurance benefits for eligible employees. Company contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are generally based on a percentage of eligible pay or based on hours worked, and are funded with cash. All of ATI’s defined benefit pension plans are now closed to new entrants, and at most ATI operations with pension participants the plans are frozen for all future benefit accruals, with less than 10% of participants in ATI’s U.S. qualified defined benefit plans still earning additional pension service. Additionally, all of the remaining, collectively-bargained defined benefit retiree health care plans at ATI’s operations are now closed to new entrants, with cost caps in place for these obligations. As a result of these actions, ATI’s retirement savings and other postretirement benefit programs have largely transitioned to a defined contribution structure.
36


Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, amounts recognized in financial statements for defined benefit pension plans are determined on an actuarial basis, rather than as contributions are made to the plan. A significant element in determining our pension income or expense in accordance with the accounting standards is the expected investment return on plan assets. In establishing the expected return on plan investments, which is reviewed annually in the fourth quarter, we take into consideration input from our third party pension plan asset managers and actuaries regarding the types of securities the plan assets are invested in, how those investments have performed historically, and expectations for how those investments will perform in the future. Our weighted average expected long-term return on pension plan investments was 7.52%6.43% in 2019,2022, and the weighted average expected long-term rate of return on pension plan investments for 20202023 will be 7.16%6.57%. We apply thisthe assumed rate of return to the market value of plan assets at the end of the previous year. This produces the expected return on plan assets that is included in annual pension expense for the current year. The actual returns on pension plan assets for the last five years have been (14.5)% for 2022, 12.4% for 2021, 15.2% for 2020, 15.1% for 2019, and (4.8)% for 2018, 16.9% for 2017, 5.3% for 2016, and (1.2)% for 2015.2018. The effect of increasing, or lowering, the expected return on pension plan investments by 0.25% would result in additional pre-tax annual income, or expense, of approximately $5$4 million. The cumulative difference between the expected return and the actual return on plan assets is deferred and amortized into pension income or expense over future periods. The amount of expected return on plan assets can vary significantly from year-to-year since the calculation is dependent on the market value of plan assets as of the end of the preceding year. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles allow companies to calculate the expected return on pension assets using either an average of fair market values of pension assets over a period not to exceed five years, which reduces the volatility in reported pension income or expense, or their fair market value at the end of the previous year. However, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission currently does not permit companies to change from the fair market value at the end of the previous year methodology, which is the methodology that we use, to an averaging of fair market values of plan assets methodology. As a result, our results of operations and those of other companies, including companies with which we compete, may not be comparable due to these different methodologies in calculating the expected return on pension investments.
In accordance with accounting standards, we determine the discount rate used to value pension plan liabilities as of the last day of our fiscal year. The discount rate reflects the current rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively settled. In estimating this rate, we receive input from our actuaries regarding the rates of return on high quality, fixed-income investments with maturities matched to the expected future retirement benefit payments. Based on this assessment, we established a discount rate of 3.40%5.55% for valuing the pension liabilities as of December 31, 2019,2022, and for determining the pension expense for 2020.2023. We had previously assumed a discount rate of 4.40%2.95% at the end of 20182021 and 3.85%2.60% at the end of 2017.2020. The estimated effect of changing the discount rate by 0.50% would decrease pension liabilities in the case of an increase in the discount rate, or increase pension liabilities in the case of a decrease in the discount rate, by approximately $140$90 million. Such a change in the discount rate would decrease pension expense in the case of an increase in the discount rate, or increase pension expense in the case of a decrease in the discount rate, by less than $1$2 million. The effect on pension liabilities for changes to the discount rate, as well as the net effect of other changes in actuarial assumptions and experience, are deferred and amortized over future periods in accordance with the accounting standards.

As discussed above, gains and losses due to differences between actual and expected results for investment returns on plan assets, changes in the discount rate used to value benefit obligations, and other changes in estimates such as participant life expectancy are deferred and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over future periods. However, for balance sheet presentation, these gains and losses are included in the determination of benefit obligations, net of plan assets, included on the year-end consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2019,2022, the Company had approximately $1.6$1.2 billion of pre-tax net actuarial losses on its pension obligations, primarily related to an extended decline over the last severalin prior years in the discount rate used to value the pension obligations. These actuarial losses have been recognized on the consolidated balance sheet through a reduction in stockholders’ equity, and are being recognized in the consolidated statement of operations through expense amortizations over future years. Due to all of ATI’s defined benefit plans being closed to new entrants, and in most caseswith the population predominately frozen for future benefit accruals, the amortization period for accumulated other comprehensive loss recognition for all of these plans is average remaining life expectancy, which is approximately 1817 years on a weighted average basis.
With respect to our postretirement plans, under most of the plans, our contributions towards retiree medical premiums are capped based upon the cost as of certain dates, thereby creating a defined contribution. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting standards, postretirement expenses recognized in financial statements associated with defined benefit plans are determined on an actuarial basis, rather than as benefits are paid. We use actuarial assumptions, including the discount rate and the expected trend in health care costs, to estimate the costs and benefit obligations for these plans. The discount rate, which is determined annually at the end of each fiscal year, is developed based upon rates of return on high quality, fixed-income investments. At the end of 2019,2022, we determined the rate to be 3.25%5.45%, compared to a 4.35%2.80% discount rate in 2018,2021, and a 3.80%2.45% discount rate in 2017.2020. The estimated effect of changing the discount rate by 0.50% would decrease postretirement obligations in the case of an increase in the discount rate, or increase postretirement obligations in the case of a decrease in the discount rate, by approximately $15$7 million. Such a change in the discount rate would decrease postretirement benefit expense in the case of an increase in the discount rate, or increase postretirement benefit expense in the case of a decrease in the
37


discount rate, by less than $1 million. Based upon predictions of continued significant medical cost inflation in future years, the annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits of health care plans is 6.0%7.8% in 20202023 and is assumed to gradually decrease to 4.5%4.0% in the year 20382048 and remain level thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates can have a significant effect on the benefit obligation for health care plans, however, the Company’s contributions for most of its’its retiree health plans are capped based on a fixed premium amount, which limits the impact of future health care cost increases.
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In January 2019, we adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) related to leases. See Note 11 for further explanation related to this adoption, including all newly expanded disclosure requirements.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued new disclosure guidance on fair value measurement. This new guidance modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements, including removal and modifications of various current disclosures as well as some additional disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements. Some of these disclosure changes must be applied prospectively while others retrospectively depending on requirement. This guidance is required to be adopted beginning in fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted. We did not early adopt this guidance. The adoption of these changes is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements other than disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB added a new impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses. The CECL model applies to trade receivables, other receivables, contract assets and most debt instruments. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses, and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. We adopted this guidance in fiscal year 2020 without significant impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The areas for simplification in the guidance involve the removal of certain exceptions to the general principals in the current guidance, including intraperiod allocation and the calculation of income taxes in an interim period when a year to date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The new guidance also simplifies the accounting for income taxes in the area of franchise taxes. This new guidance is effective fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted. We early adopted this guidance in fiscal year 2020 without significant impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements
From time-to-time, the Company has 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. Such forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and include known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which the Company is unable to predict or control, that may cause our actual results or performance to materially differ from any future results or performance expressed or implied by such statements. Various of these factors are described in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and will be described from time-to-time in the Company filings with the SEC, including the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and the Company’s subsequent reports filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on the Company’s website at www.atimetals.com. We assume no duty to update our forward-looking statements.
Item 7A. 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 energy and raw material prices, foreign currencies, and interest rates. We monitor the third-party financial institutions that 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’sATI’s credit risk. Our exposure to volatility in interest rates is presently not material, as nearly all of our debt is at fixed interest rates.
Volatility of Interest Rates. We may enter into derivative interest rate contracts to maintain a reasonable balance between fixed- and floating-rate debt. In July 2019, we amended ourATI has a $50 million floating-for-fixed interest rate swap which converts halfa portion of the ABL Term Loan to a 4.21% fixed rate (now 4.21% following the September 30, 2019 ABL amendment), with arate. The swap matures in June 2024 maturity. The Company2024. We designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge of the Company’sour exposure to the variability of the payment of interest on a portion of its ABL Term Loan borrowings. The ineffectivenessineffective portion at hedge inception, determined from the fair value of the swap immediately prior to amendment will bein July 2019, was amortized to interest expense over the initial ABL Term Loan swap maturity date of January 12, 2021. Any gain or loss associated with this hedging arrangement is included in interest expense. At December 31, 2019,2022, the net mark-to-market valuation of the outstanding interest rate swap was an unrealized pre-tax lossgain of $1.5$1.9 million, comprised of $0.3$1.4 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $0.5 million in other current liabilities and $1.2 million in other long-term liabilitiesassets on the balance sheet.
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 86 to 108 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$6 to $10$8 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 or physical hedges to reduce exposure to energy price volatility.
At December 31, 2019,2022, the outstanding financial derivatives used to hedge our exposure to energy cost volatility included natural gas hedges. At December 31, 2019,2022, we hedged approximately 70% of our annual forecasted domestic requirements for natural gas for 20202023 and approximately 50%25% for 2021. The2024. At December 31, 2022, the net mark-to-market valuation of the outstanding natural gas hedges at December 31, 2019 was an unrealized pre-tax lossgain of $3.5$0.6 million, comprised of $2.5$2.4 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $0.7 million in other assets, $2.0 million in other current liabilities and $1.0$0.5 million in other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2019,2022, the effects of natural gas hedging activity increaseddecreased cost of sales by $1.2$15.1 million.
38


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 20192022 we used approximately 10570 million pounds of nickel; therefore a hypothetical change of $1.00 per pound in nickel prices would result in increased costs of approximately $105 million. In addition, in 2019 we also used approximately 360 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 $3.6$70 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 December 31, 2019,2022, we had entered into financial hedging arrangements, primarily at the request of our customers, related to firm orders, for an aggregate amount of approximately 76 million pounds of nickel with hedge dates through 2023.2024. The aggregate notional amount hedged is approximately 7%8% of a single year’s estimated nickel raw material purchase requirements. These derivative instruments are used to hedge the variability of a selling price that is based on the London Metals Exchange (LME) index for nickel, as well as to hedge the variability of the purchase cost of nickel based on this LME index. Any gain or loss associated with these hedging arrangements is included in sales or cost of sales.sales, depending on whether the underlying risk being hedged was the variable selling price or the variable raw material cost, respectively. At December 31, 2019,2022, the net mark-to-market valuation of our outstanding raw material hedges was an unrealized pre-tax gain of $3.1$10.9 million, comprised of $4.4$12.5 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $1.2$0.5 million in other assets, and $2.5$2.1 million in other current 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, primarily the euro. In addition, we may also hedge forecasted capital expenditures and designate cash balances held in foreign currencies as hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions. At December 31, 2019,2022, we held euro forward purchase contracts for forecasted capital expenditures designated as cash flow hedges with a notional value of approximately 2 million euro with maturity dates through May 2020.
In 2015, we entered into 244.7 million euro notional value of foreign currency forward contracts designated as fair value hedges with maturity dates through 2017. The Company recorded $2.7 million of charges during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 in costs of sales on the consolidated statement of operations for maturities and mark-to-market changes on these fair value hedges. There werehad no outstanding fair value hedges as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.
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. We have no euro notional value outstanding as of December 31, 2019 of foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedges.
At December 31, 2019, the net mark-to-market valuation of thesignificant outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was not material.contracts.

Valuation of goodwillGoodwill impairment assessment- Forged Products reporting unit
Description of the Matter
At December 31, 2019,2022, the Company had $525.8$227.2 million of goodwill.goodwill on its consolidated balance sheet. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is testedreviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The assessment of goodwill for impairment requires a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit that has goodwill associated with its operations to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the Company’s carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal tomeasured as the excess of the carrying amountvalue over the calculated fair value.

Auditing the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test for the Forged Products reporting unit was complex and highly judgmental due tobecause the significant estimation required to determine theof fair value of the reporting units. In particular, the fair value estimate was sensitive to significantinvolves subjective management assumptions, such as future operating results, cash flowsrevenue growth, profitability and the weighted averageweighted-average cost of capital. These significantcapital, and a complex valuation methodology, such as the discounted cash flow. Assumptions used in the Company’s valuation model are forward-looking, and changes in these assumptions are forward looking and could be materially affected by future market or economic conditions.can have a material effect on the determination of fair value.




How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s goodwill impairment testingevaluation process, including controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions described above.
Our audit procedures to test the estimated fair valuemanagement’s impairment evaluation of the Company’sForged Products reporting unitsunit included, among others, evaluatingassessing the reasonableness of management’s significantvaluation methodology and assumptions describeddiscussed above, and used within the fair value methods, involving our valuation specialists to assist in assessing fair valuation methodologies utilized in the Company’s annual impairment test, and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data.data used to develop such assumptions. For example, we evaluated the reasonableness of management’s significant assumptions by analyzing the general economic environment and the economic environment of the Company’s industry. We compared certain significant assumptions to existingcurrent industry, market information and where relevant, to the plans of the Company, including management’s expectations with regardeconomic trends. Where appropriate, we evaluated whether changes to the Company’s business model, customer base, product mix and other relevant factors.factors would affect the assumptions. We also assessed the historical accuracy of management’s projected cash flows, where applicable,estimates and performed independent sensitivity analyses of the significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting units that would result from changes in the assumptions.analyses. We involved our valuation specialists to assist us in evaluating the discount rate, which included comparison ofmethodology and auditing the selected discount rateassumptions used to calculate the Company’s weighted average cost of capital and the risk associated with projected cash flows. In addition, we tested management’s reconciliation of theestimated fair value of the Forged Products reporting units to the market capitalization of the Company and assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements related to the matter described above.unit.





Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets
Description of the Matter
The Company is subject to various income tax laws in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Beginning in 2015, the Company’s results reflected a three-year cumulative loss from US operations, and valuation allowances were established on its federal and state deferred tax assets. As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, valuation allowances are established when it is estimated that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, regarding the estimated future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; estimated future taxable income, exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; historical taxable income in prior carryback periods if carryback is permitted; and potential tax planning strategies, which may be employed to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused. As further discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company exited the three-year cumulative loss condition for US Federal and certain state jurisdictions at December 31, 2019. The Company considered the reversals of taxable temporary differences and utilized projected financial results as a source of positive evidence to evaluate the future realizability of deferred tax assets, which triggered the release of $45.1 million of deferred tax asset valuation allowances and recognition of an income tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2019. At December 31, 2019, the Company had total deferred tax assets of $537.9 million, net of $94.5 million of valuation allowances for deferred tax assets.
Auditing the Company’s assertion that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized and the related measurement of the valuation allowance was complex due to the highly judgmental nature of the projections of future sources and the amounts of taxable income, which rely on significant assumptions, such as future reversals of existing temporary differences, impact of tax planning strategies, and future taxable income. Certain of these significant assumptions are forward looking and could be materially affected by future market or economic conditions.





How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s process to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets and measurement of the valuation allowances, including controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions described above.
To test the realizability of the deferred tax assets and measurement of the valuation allowances, our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the methodologies used, the significant assumptions for each type of evidence discussed above, and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis. For example, as part of our evaluation of management’s significant assumptions, we considered the relevant tax laws and regulations in the various jurisdictions, including considering whether the estimated future sources of taxable income were of the appropriate character to utilize the deferred tax assets. We evaluated the cumulative income or loss positions of the Company’s various jurisdictions, assessed management’s model of estimated future reversals of existing temporary differences and evaluated the Company’s forecasts of future profits for the purposes of assessing the reasonableness of the Company’s estimated future taxable income. We inspected historical taxable income in prior carryback periods and evaluated the projections of future taxable income by analyzing the general economic environment and the economic environment of the Company’s industry. We compared certain assumptions to existing market information and, where relevant, to the plans of the Company, including management’s expectations with regard to the Company’s business model, customer base, product mix and other relevant factors. We also assessed the accuracy of management’s historical projections, compared the estimate of future taxable income with other forecasted financial information prepared by the Company and performed sensitivity analyses of the significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in realizability of deferred tax assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. In addition, we evaluated the Company’s income tax disclosures related to the matters described above.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Reporting
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allegheny Technologies IncorporatedATI Inc. and its subsidiaries. The financial results of majority-owned joint ventures are consolidated into the Company’s operating results and financial position, with the minority ownership interest recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, and as equity attributable to the noncontrolling interests within total stockholders’ equity. The results for the Shanghai STAL Precision Stainless Steel Company Limited (STAL) are reported on a one month lag. Investments in which the Company exercises significant influence, but which it does not control (generally a 20% to 50% ownership interest) are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, whereby ATI’s carrying value of the equity method investment on the statement of financial positionconsolidated balance sheet is the capital investment and any undistributed profit or loss, and isloss. The investments are classified in Otherother (noncurrent) assets.assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The profit or loss attributable to ATI from equity method investments is included in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of Other (non-operating) income (expense). See Note 7 for further explanation of the Company’s joint ventures. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Unless the context requires otherwise, “Allegheny Technologies,” “ATI” and the “Company” refer to Allegheny Technologies IncorporatedATI Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Risks and Uncertainties and Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that the estimates are reasonable. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform with the 2019 presentation.
The Company markets its products to a diverse customer base, principally throughout the United States. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of sales for any year presented. The major end markets for the ATI’s products are customers in the aerospace & defense, oil & gas, energy, automotive, construction and mining, food equipment and appliances, and medical markets.
At December 31, 2019,2022, ATI has approximately 8,100 full-time6,700 active employees, of which approximately 17%15% are located outside the United States. Approximately 40%35% of ATI’s workforce is covered by various collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), predominantly with the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied & Industrial Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC (USW). The Company is currently involved in negotiation on its next significantCompany’s CBA with the USW involving approximately 1,500 full-time employees that expire on February 29, 2020 involving USW-represented1,100 active full- time represented employees located primarily within the Flat Rolled ProductsAdvanced Alloys & Solutions (AA&S) segment operations, and at two facilitiesas well as a number of inactive employees, expired on February 28, 2021. USW-represented employees continued to work under the terms of the expired CBA until March 30, 2021 when they engaged in a strike. On July 14, 2021, ATI announced that a new four-year labor agreement with the High Performance Materials & Components segment.USW was ratified, ending the strike. The Company has no significant CBAs that expire in 2023.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are presented net of a reserve for doubtful accounts of $4.6$7.7 million and $6.0$3.8 million at December 31, 20192022 and 2018,2021, respectively. Trade credit is extended based upon evaluations of each customer’s ability to perform its obligations, which are updated periodically. AccountsThe Company’s accounts receivable reserves are determined based upon an aging of accounts and a review for collectability of specific accounts.on expected credit losses. Amounts are written-off against the reserve in the period it is determined that the receivable is uncollectible.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last-in,(first-in, first-out (LIFO), first-in, first-out (FIFO), and average cost methods) or market.net realizable value. Costs include direct material, direct labor and applicable manufacturing and engineering overhead, and other direct costs. MostThe term net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of the Company’s inventory is valued utilizing the LIFO costing methodology. Inventorybusiness, less reasonably predictable costs of the Company’s non-U.S. operations is valued using average cost or FIFO methods.completion, disposal and transportation.
The Company evaluates product lines on a quarterly basis to identify inventory carrying values that exceed estimated net realizable value. In applying the lower of cost or market principle, market means current replacement cost, subject to a ceiling

(market value shall not exceed net realizable value) and a floor (market shall not be less than net realizable value reduced by an allowance for a normal profit margin). The calculation of a resulting reserve, if any, is recognized as an expense in the period that the need for the reserve is identified. However, in cases where inventory at FIFO cost is lower than the LIFO carrying value, a write-down of the inventory to market may be required, subject to the ceiling and floor. It is the Company’s general policy to write-down to scrap value any inventory that is identified as slow-movingslow-

moving or aged more than twelve months, subject to sales, backlog and anticipated ordersorder considerations. In some instances this aging criterion is up to twenty-four months. Inventory valuation reserves also include amounts pertaining to intercompany profit elimination between different subsidiaries.
Long-Lived Assets
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, including capitalized interest, and include long-lived assets acquired under finance leases. Depreciation is primarily recorded using the straight-line method. Property,Prior to December 2020, property, plant and equipment associated with the Hot-Rolling and Processing Facility (HRPF) in the Flat Rolled ProductsAA&S segment iswas being depreciated utilizing the units of production method of depreciation, which the Company believes providesbelieved provided a better matching of costs and revenues. However, based on changed business conditions resulting from the decision to exit production of standard stainless sheet products and the recognition of an impairment charge on the property, plant and equipment associated with the HRPF in December 2020 (see Note 19 for further discussion), depreciation of the remaining carrying value of the HRPF began using the straight-line method in December 2020. The Company periodically reviews estimates of useful life and production capacity assigned to new and in service assets. Significant enhancements, including major maintenance activities that extend the lives of property and equipment, are capitalized. Costs related to repairs and maintenance are charged to expense in the period incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment retired or disposed of are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are included in income.
The Company monitors the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived assets. An impairment charge is recognized when an indicator of impairment occurs and the expected net undiscounted future cash flows from an asset’s use (including any proceeds from disposition) are less than the asset’s carrying value and the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. If an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying value of the long-lived asset is its new cost basis and this new cost basis is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. Assets to be disposed of by sale are stated at the lower of their fair values or carrying amounts and depreciation is no longer recognized.
Leases
On January 1, 2019 theThe Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 (ASC 842), Leases. This new guidance requiresclassifies leases as either operating or financing, and records a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases, with the result being the recognition of a right of useright-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability.liability on the consolidated balance sheets as further discussed below. The lease liability is equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments for the term of the lease, including any optional renewal periods determined to be reasonably certain to be exercised, using the discount rate determined at lease commencement. This discount rate is the rate implicit in the lease, if known; otherwise, the incremental borrowing rate (IBR) for the expected lease term is used. The Company’s IBRs approximate the rate the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term at lease inception. The ROU asset is equal to the initial measurement of the lease liability plus any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date and any unamortized initial direct costs incurred by the lessee, less any unamortized lease incentives received.

The Company has elected to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all asset classes, and has made an accounting policy election to apply the short-term exception, which does not require the capitalization of leases with terms of 12 months or less.
The Company has lease contracts for real property and machinery and equipment, primarily for mobile, office and information technology equipment. At inception of a contract, the Company determines whether the contract is or contains a lease. If the Company has a right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the asset, then the contract contains a lease. Several of the Company’s real property lease contracts include options to extend the lease term, and the Company reassesses the likelihood of renewal on at least an annual basis. In addition, several real property leases include variable lease payments, for items such as common area maintenance and utilities, which are expensed as incurred as variable lease expense.

There are two types of leases,leases: operating leases and finance leases. Lease classification is determined at lease commencement. The criteria used for a lease to be classified as aA finance lease is generally consistent withexists when specific criteria are met that indicate that all the criteria underrisk and rewards related to the previous lease accounting guidance, ASC 840, for capital leases.leased assets are transferred to the lessee. All other leases not meeting the finance lease criteria are classified as operating leases. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis on the consolidated statement of income.operations. Finance leases have front-loaded expense recognition which is reported as amortization expense and interest expense on the consolidated statement of income.operations. ROU assets for operating leases are classified in other long-term assets, and ROU assets for finance leases are classified in property, plant and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. For operating leases, short-term lease liabilities are classified in other current liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities are classified in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. For finance leases, short-term lease liabilities are classified in short-term debt, and long-term lease liabilities are classified in long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet. On the cash flow statement, payments for operating leases are classified as operating activities. Payments for finance leases are classified as a financing activity, with the exception of the interest component of the payment which is classified as an operating activity.

Goodwill
Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The review for goodwill impairment requires a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit that has goodwill associated with its operations with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If this comparison reflects impairment, then the loss would be measured as the excess of the carrying value over the calculated fair value.
Generally accepted accounting standardsprinciples provide the option to qualitatively assess goodwill for impairment before completing a quantitative assessment. Under the qualitative approach, if, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, including both macroeconomic, industry and market factors, and entity-specific factors, the Company determines it is likely (more likely than not) that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then the quantitative impairment analysis is not required. The quantitative assessment may be performed each year for a reporting unit at the Company’s option without first performing a qualitative assessment. The Company’s quantitative assessment of goodwill for possible impairment includes estimating the fair market value of a reporting unit which has goodwill associated with its operations using discounted cash flow and multiples of cash earnings valuation techniques, plus valuation comparisons to recent public sale transactions of similar businesses, if any. These impairment assessments and valuation methods require the Company to make estimates and assumptions regarding future operating results, cash flows,revenue growth, changes in working capital and capital expenditures, selling prices and profitability that drive cash flows, and the weighted average cost of capital. Many of these assumptions are determined by reference to market participants identified by the Company. Although management believes that the estimates and assumptions used were reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Other events and changes in circumstances may also require goodwill to be tested for impairment between annual measurement dates. While a decline in stock price and market capitalization is not specifically cited as a goodwill impairment indicator, a company’s stock price and market capitalization should be considered in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less that its carrying value. Additionally, a significant decline in a company’s stock price may suggest that an adverse change in the business climate may have caused the fair value of one or more reporting units to fall below carrying value. A sustained decline in market capitalization below book value may be determined to require an interim goodwill impairment review.
Environmental
Costs that mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination or extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the safety or efficiency of property utilized in current operations are capitalized. Other costs that relate to current operations or an existing condition caused by past operations are expensed. Environmental liabilities are recorded when the Company’s liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable, but generally not later than the completion of the feasibility study or the Company’s recommendation of a remedy or commitment to an appropriate plan of action. The accruals are reviewed periodically and, as investigations and remediations proceed, adjustments of the accruals are made to reflect new information as appropriate. Accruals for losses from environmental remediation obligations do not take into account the effects of inflation, and anticipated expenditures are not discounted to their present value. The accruals are not reduced by possible recoveries from insurance carriers or other third parties, but do reflect allocations among potentially responsible parties (PRPs) at Federal Superfund sites or similar state-managed sites after an assessment is made of the likelihood that such parties will fulfill their obligations at such sites and after appropriate cost-sharing or other agreements are entered. The measurement of environmental liabilities by the Company is based on currently available facts, present laws and regulations, and current technology. Such estimates take into consideration the Company’s prior experience in site investigation and remediation, the data concerning cleanup costs available from other companies and regulatory authorities, and the professional judgment of the Company’s environmental experts in consultation with outside environmental specialists, when necessary.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of international operations are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. The resulting net translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.

Sales Recognition
The following is the Company’s accounting policy as it relates to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (ASC 606), Contracts with Revenue from Customers. This guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized, and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
49


The following is the Company’s accounting policy as it relates to the five-step analysis for revenue recognition:
1.
1.Identify the contract: The Company has determined that the contract with the customer is established when the customer purchase order is accepted or acknowledged. Long-term agreements (LTAs), which typically extend multiple years, are used by the Company and certain of its customers for its specialty materials, in the form of mill products, powders, parts and components, to reduce their supply uncertainty. While these LTAs generally define commercial terms including pricing, termination clauses and other contractual requirements, they do not represent the contract with the customer.
2.Identify the performance obligation in the contract: When the Company accepts or acknowledges the customer purchase order, the type of good or service is defined on a line by line basis. Individual performance obligations are established by virtue of the individual line items identified on the sales order acknowledgment at the time of issuance. Generally, the Company’s revenue relates to the sale of goods and contains a single performance obligation for each distinct good. Conversion services that transform customer-owned inventory to a different dimension, product form, and/or changed mechanical properties are classified as “goods”.
3.Determine the transaction price: Pricing is also defined on a sales order acknowledgment on a line item basis and includes an estimate of variable consideration when required by the terms of the individual customer contract. Variable consideration is when the selling price of the good is not known or is subject to adjustment under certain conditions. Types of variable consideration may include volume discounts, customer rebates and surcharges. ATI also provides assurances that goods or services will meet the product specifications contained within the acknowledged customer contract. As such, returns and refunds reserves are estimated based upon past product line history or, at certain locations, on a claim by claim basis.
4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation: Since a customer contract generally contains only one performance obligation, this step of the analysis is generally not applicable to the Company.
5.Recognize revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied: Performance obligations generally occur at a point in time and are satisfied when control passes to the customer. For most transactions, control passes at the time of shipment in accordance with agreed upon delivery terms. On occasion, shipping and handling charges occur after the customer obtains control of the good. When this occurs, the shipping and handling services are considered activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good.: The Company has determined that the contract with the customer is established when the customer purchase order is accepted or acknowledged. Long-term agreements (LTAs), which typically extend multiple years, are used by the Company and certain of its customers for its specialty materials, in the form of mill products, powders, parts and components, to reduce their supply uncertainty. While these LTAs generally define commercial terms including pricing, termination clauses and other contractual requirements, they do not represent the contract with the customer.

Variable consideration is when the selling price of the good is not known or is subject to adjustment under certain conditions. Types of variable consideration may include volume discounts, customer rebates and surcharges. ATI also provides assurances that goods or services will meet the product specifications contained within the acknowledged customer contract. As such, returns and refunds reserves are estimated based upon past product line history or, at certain locations, on a claim by claim basis.

4.
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation: Since a customer contract generally contains only one performance obligation, this step of the analysis is generally not applicable to the Company.

5.
Recognize revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied: Performance obligations generally occur at a point in time and are satisfied when control passes to the customer. For most transactions, control passes at the time of shipment in accordance with agreed upon delivery terms. On occasion, shipping and handling charges occur after the customer obtains control of the good. When this occurs, the shipping and handling services are considered activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good. This approach is consistent with our revenue recognition approach in prior years.

Certain customer agreements involving production of parts and components in the High Performance Materials and Components segment require revenue to be recognized over time due to there being no alternative use for the product without significant economic loss and an enforceable right to payment including a normal profit margin from the customer in the event of contract termination. The Company uses an input method for determining the amount of revenue, and associated standard cost, to recognize over-time revenue, cost and gross margin for these customer agreements. The input methods used for these agreements include costs incurred and labor hours expended, both of which give an accurate representation of the progress made toward complete satisfaction of that particular performance obligation.

Contract assets are recognized when ATI’s conditional right to consideration for goods or services have transferred to the customer. A conditional right indicates that additional performance obligations associated with the contract are yet to be satisfied. Contract assets are assessed separately for impairment purposes. If ATI’s right to consideration from the customer is unconditional, this asset is accounted for as a receivable and presented separately from other contract assets. A right is unconditional if nothing other than the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. Performance obligations that are recognized as revenue at a point-in-time and are billed to the customer are recognized as accounts receivable. Payment terms vary from customer to customer depending upon credit worthiness, prior payment history and other credit considerations.


Contract costs are the incremental costs of obtaining and fulfilling a contract (i.e., costs that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained) to provide goods and services to customers. Contract costs for ATI largely consist of design and development costs for molds, dies and other tools that ATI will own and that will be used in producing the products under the supply arrangement. Contract costs are classified as non-current assets and amortized to expense on a systematic and rational basis over a period consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates.

Contract liabilities are recognized when ATI has received consideration from a customer to transfer goods or services at a future point in time when the Company performs under the contract. Elements of variable consideration discussed above may be recorded as contract liabilities. In addition, progress billings and advance payments from customers for costs incurred to date are also reported as contract liabilities.

Research and Development
Our research,Research, development and technical service activities are closely interrelated and are directed toward development of new products, improvement of existing products, cost reduction, process improvement and control, quality assurance and control, development of new manufacturing methods, and improvement of existing manufacturing methods. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Company funded research and development costs were $17.8$16.3 million in 2019, $22.72022, $16.5 million in 2018,2021, and $13.3$14.1 million in 2017.2020. Customer funded research and development costs were $2.4 million in 2019, $2.2 million in 2018, and $1.4 million in 2017.2022, $3.5 million in 2021, and $0.7 million in 2020.
Government Assistance
The Company enters into agreements with U.S. federal agencies, U.S. state and local governments, and foreign governments that provide financial assistance and incentives supporting both new capital projects to expand and enhance manufacturing capabilities and also to sustain and maintain existing operations. Depending on the nature of the government program, the financial impacts may be recorded as a reduction to cost of sales through direct offset of labor and overhead costs or lower depreciation expense, or as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses for property tax abatement or other similar categories. Benefits from government assistance are recognized as the activities are incurred, subject to ongoing assessments of meeting other relevant terms such as employment or expenditure levels.
In November 2021, ATI entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation under the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection (AMJP) program for a grant of up to $22.2 million. The receipt of the award was primarily conditioned upon the Company committing to not furlough or lay off a defined group of employees in High Performance Materials & Components (HPMC) segment operations during the six-month period of performance between November 2021 and May 2022. The AMJP grant benefit was recognized over the six-month performance period as a reduction to cost of sales in proportion to the compensation expense that the award was intended to defray, with $16.6 million recognized in 2022 operating results. Cash receipts from the AMJP program were $11.0 million in 2022, and this program is now completed.
ATI is a party to various U.S. states’ economic development incentive programs that provide economic benefits in the forms of property tax relief or cash payments to offset capital expenditures. These programs generally include requirements for levels of capital spending and/or employment to qualify for the government assistance. For the year ended December 31, 2022, these state-level programs reduced selling, general and administrative expenses by $1.6 million and cash receipts were $2.8 million. Receivables for ongoing programs are $3.7 million as of December 31, 2022.

Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation transactions, such as nonvested restricted stock or stock units and performance equity awards, using fair value. Compensation expense for an award is estimated at the date of grant and is recognized over the requisite service period. Compensation expense is adjusted for equity awards that do not vest because service or performance conditions are not satisfied. However, compensation expense already recognized on plans which vest based solely on the attainment of market conditions, such as total shareholder return measures, is not adjusted based on the award attainment status at the end of the measurement period. Compensation expense is adjusted for estimated forfeitures over the award measurement period.
Income Taxes
The provision for, or benefit from, income taxes includes deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences in income for financial and tax purposes using the liability method. Such temporary differences result primarily from differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Future realization of deferred income tax assets requires sufficient taxable income within the carryback and/or carryforward period available under tax law.
The Company evaluates on a quarterly basis whether, based on all available evidence, it is probable that the deferred income tax assets are realizable. Valuation allowances are established when it is estimated that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The evaluation includes the consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, regarding the estimated future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, historical taxable income in prior carryback periods if carryback is permitted, and potential tax planning strategies which may be employed to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused.  The verifiable evidence such as future reversals of existing temporary differences and the ability to carryback are considered before the subjective sources such as estimateestimated future taxable income exclusive of temporary differences and tax planning strategies.
It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties recognized on underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense. It is also the Company’s policy to recognize deferred tax amounts stranded in accumulated other comprehensive
51


income (AOCI), which result from tax rate differences on changes in AOCI balances, as an element of income tax expense in the period that the related balance sheet item associated with the AOCI balance ceases to exist. In the case of derivative financial instruments accounted for as hedges, or marketable securities, ATI uses the portfolio method where the stranded deferred tax amount is recognized when all items of a particular category, such as cash flow hedges of a particular risk such as a foreign currency hedge, are settled. In the case of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, the stranded deferred tax balance is recognized as an element of income tax expense in the period the benefit plan is extinguished.extinguished or divested.
Net Income Per Common Share
Basic and diluted net income per share are calculated by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted amounts assume the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive share equivalents outstanding. The calculations of all diluted income/loss per share figures for

a period exclude the potentially dilutive effect of dilutive share equivalents if there is a net loss since the inclusion in the calculation of additional shares in the net loss per share would result in a lower per share loss and therefore be anti-dilutive.
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In January 2019, the Company adopted changes issued byNovember 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance related to leases. See Note 11 for further explanation related to this adoption, including all newly expanded disclosure requirements.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued new disclosure guidance on fair value measurement.disclosures about certain types of government assistance. This new guidance modifiesrequires business entities that account for transactions with a government by analogizing to a grant or contribution accounting model to make certain annual disclosures. It requires disclosure of the disclosure requirementsnature and significant terms and considerations of the transactions, the accounting policies used and the effects of those transactions on fair value measurements, including removal and modifications of various current disclosures as well as some additional disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements. Some of these disclosure changes must be applied prospectively while others retrospectively depending on requirement.an entity’s financial statements. This new guidance is required to be adopted byeffective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2020,2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of these changes did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than the annual disclosure requirements included in the accounting policies discussion above.

In August 2020, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to accounting for convertible instruments. Under this new guidance, embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. As such, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the reported interest rate of convertible debt instruments typically will be closer to the coupon interest rate. The new guidance also addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the diluted earnings per share calculation, requiring the if-converted method, and requires enhanced disclosures about the terms of convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. This new guidance was effective for the Company in fiscal year 2022, with early adoption permitted.
The Company early adopted this new accounting guidance related to accounting for convertible instruments effective January 1, 2021 using the modified transition approach with the cumulative effect recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. This new guidance was applicable to the Company’s 3.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the 2025 Convertible Notes) that were issued in June 2020, for which the embedded conversion option was required to be separately accounted for as a component of stockholders’ equity. Upon adoption on January 1, 2021, long-term debt increased by $45.4 million and stockholders’ equity decreased by the same amount, representing the net impact of two adjustments: (1) the $49.8 million value of the embedded conversion, which is net of allocated offering costs, previously classified in additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity, and (2) a $4.4 million increase to retained earnings for the cumulative effect of adoption primarily related to the non-cash interest expense recorded in fiscal year 2020 for the amortization of the portion of the 2025 Convertible Notes allocated to stockholders’ equity. Prospectively, the reported interest expense for the 2025 Convertible Notes no longer included the non-cash interest expense of the equity component as required under prior accounting standards and is closer to the 3.5% cash coupon rate. There was no impact to the Company’s earnings per share calculation as it previously applied the if-converted method to the 2025 Convertible Notes given ATI’s flexibility to settle conversions of the 2025 Convertible Notes in cash, shares of ATI’s common stock or a combination thereof, at ATI’s election.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2022, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to disclosures about supplier finance programs. Supplier finance programs allow a buyer to offer its suppliers the option for access to payment in advance of an invoice due date, which is paid by a third-party finance provider or intermediary on the basis of invoices that the buyer has confirmed as valid. This new guidance requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude, using both qualitative and quantitative information about its supplier finance programs. This new
52


guidance, with the exception of disclosures on rollforward information, will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2023, with early adoption permitted. The rollforward information disclosures are effective for the Company in fiscal year 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not plan to early adopt this guidance. The adoption of these changes is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than disclosures.disclosure requirements.

In June 2016, the FASB added a new impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses. The CECL model applies to trade receivables, other receivables, contract assets and most debt instruments. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses, and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. This guidance was adopted by the Company in fiscal year 2020 without significant impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The areas for simplification in the guidance involve the removal of certain exceptions to the general principals in the current guidance, including intraperiod allocation and the calculation of income taxes in an interim period when a year to date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The new guidance also simplifies the accounting for income taxes in the area of franchise taxes. This new guidance is effective for the Company in fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted. This guidance was early adopted by the Company in fiscal year 2020 without significant impact to the consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Adoption Method and Impact
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company applied ASC 606 to all contracts not completed at January 1, 2018 and adopted the accounting standard using the modified retrospective method, with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 recognized at the beginning of the 2018 fiscal year. Comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the previous accounting guidance. The Company recognized a $15.5 million increase to retained earnings at the beginning of the 2018 fiscal year for the cumulative effect of adoption of this standard, representing the favorable impact to prior results had the over-time revenue recognition requirements under ASC 606 been applied to several customer agreements.
In addition, as a result of this over-time recognition of these customer agreements, fiscal year 2018 sales on the consolidated statement of operations were lower by $4.3 million and cost of sales were lower by $5.4 million as compared to what those amounts would have been under the previous revenue recognition guidance. On the consolidated balance sheet, inventories, net, were $5.4 million higher at December 31, 2018 as compared to what this amount would have been under the previous guidance. Also, $45.3 million of contract assets were recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 ($45.2 million in short-term contract assets and $0.1 million in other long-term assets) related to this over-time revenue recognition. There was no impact to cash flow from operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows as a result of this accounting standard adoption.

Inventories determined on the LIFO method were $776.1 millionare stated at December 31, 2019, and $794.3 million at December 31, 2018. The remainder of the inventory was determined using the FIFO and average cost methods, and these inventory values do not differ materially from current cost. Due to deflationary impacts primarily related to raw materials, the carrying value of the Company’s inventory as valued on LIFO exceeds current replacement cost, and based on a lower of cost or market value analysis, the Company maintains net realizable value (NRV) inventory valuation reserves to adjust carrying value of LIFO inventory to current replacement cost. These NRV reserves were $33.6 million and $8.0 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In applying the lower of cost or market principle, market means current replacement(FIFO and average cost subject to a ceiling (market value shall not exceedmethods) or net realizable value) and a floor (market shall not exceed net realizable value reduced by an allowance for a normal profit margin).value.
Impacts to cost of sales for changes in the LIFO costing methodology and associated NRV inventory reserves were as follows (in millions):

During 2019 and 2017, inventory usage resulted in liquidations of LIFO inventory quantities, increasing cost of sales by $1.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively. During 2018, inventory usage resulted in liquidations of LIFO inventory quantities, decreasing cost of sales by $0.8 million. These inventories were carried at differing costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of current manufacturing cost and purchases.
The results for fiscal year 2017 included $17.7 million in inventory valuation charges related to the market-based valuation of titanium products.
ATI’s overall LIFO inventory valuation reserves also increased above replacement cost by $5.2 million at December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 due to the second quarter 2019 sale of the industrial forgings business, which used the LIFO costing methodology and maintained a LIFO valuation below current replacement cost.

The $227.2 million of goodwill as of December 31, 2022 on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet is comprised of $161.2 million at the Forged Products reporting unit and $66.0 million at the Specialty Materials reporting unit. For the Company’s annual goodwill impairment evaluation performed in the fourth quarter of 2019,2022, quantitative goodwill assessments were performed for thethese two HPMC reporting units with goodwill. BothThis quantitative fair value assessment may include discounted cash flow and multiples of cash earnings valuation techniques, plus valuation comparisons to recent public sale transactions of similar businesses, if any, which represents Level 3 unobservable information in the fair value hierarchy. These impairment assessments and valuation methods require the Company to make estimates and assumptions regarding revenue growth, changes in working capital and capital expenditures, selling prices and profitability that drive cash flows, and the weighted average cost of capital. Many of these reporting units had fair values that were significantlyassumptions are determined by reference to market participants the Company has identified. For example, the weighted average cost of capital used in excess of carrying value,the discounted cash flow assessment was 11.7% and as a result, 0 impairments were determinedthe long-term growth rates ranged from 3% to exist from the annual goodwill impairment evaluation for the year ended December 31, 2019.3.5%. In order to validate the reasonableness of the estimated fair values of the reporting units as of the valuation date, a reconciliation of the aggregate fair values of all reporting units to market capitalization was performed using a reasonable control premium.
During the third quarter of 2017, Although the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment analysis on ATI Cast Products, a titanium investment casting business, due to impairment indicators including lowerbelieves that the estimates and assumptions used were reasonable, actual results versus projections. Thiscould differ from those estimates and assumptions. The Specialty Materials reporting unit had a fair value that was significantly in excess of carrying value. The Forged Products reporting unit had a fair value that exceeded carrying value by 12% accordingmore than 50% for the 2022 annual assessment, which increased compared to the 2016annual evaluation for 2021. No impairments were determined to exist from the annual goodwill impairment evaluation.evaluation for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 or 2020.
During the second quarter of 2020, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment analysis on the Forged Products reporting unit and its $460.4 million goodwill balance based on assessed potential indicators of impairment, including recent disruptions to the global commercial aerospace market resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the increasing uncertainty of near-term demand requirements of aero-engine and airframe markets based on government responses to the pandemic and ongoing interactions with customers. For the 20172020 interim impairment analysis, fair value was determined by using a quantitative assessment usingthat used a discounted cash flow technique, which represents Level 3 unobservable information in the fair value hierarchy.technique. As a result of the 20172020 interim goodwill impairment evaluation, the Company determined that the fair value of the CastForged Products business

reporting unit was significantly below the carrying value, including goodwill. This wasgoodwill, by $287.0 million, primarily due to changes in the timing and amount of expected cash flows resulting from lower projected revenues, profitability and cash flows associated with revised expectations for the rate of operational improvement and profitability of this business based on current customer agreements.due to near-term reductions in commercial aerospace market demand. Consequently, during the thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2020, the Company recorded a $114.4$287.0 million pre-taxcharge for the partial impairment charge to write-off all of the Forged Products reporting unit goodwill, associated with ATI Cast Products, most of which was assigned from the Company’s 2011 Ladish acquisition that was not

The Company does not have the right to redeem the 2025 Convertible Notes prior to June 15, 2023. On or after June 15, 2023 and prior to the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the 2025 Convertible Notes, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest if the last reported sale price of ATI’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which ATI provides written notice of redemption.
The initial conversion rate for the 2025 Convertible Notes is 64.5745 shares of ATI common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $15.49 per share (18.8 million shares). Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2025, the 2025 Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders of 2025 Convertible Notes only upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods. Thereafter, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, the 2025 Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of holders of 2025 Convertible Notes at any time regardless of these conditions. Conversions of the 2025 Convertible Notes may be settled in cash, shares of ATI’s common stock or a combination thereof, at ATI’s election.
As a result of this flexible settlement feature of the 2025 Convertible Notes, the embedded conversion option was required to be separately accounted for as a component of stockholders’ equity. The value of the embedded conversion option was determined to be $51.4 million based on the estimated fair value of comparable senior unsecured debt without the conversion feature, using an income approach of expected present value. During the 2020 fiscal year, the equity component was amortized as additional non-cash interest expense, commonly referred to as phantom yield, over the term of the 2025 Convertible Notes using the effective interest method. As a result, as of December 31, 2020, $49.8 million of the 2025 Convertible Notes was recorded in additional paid-in-capital in stockholders’ equity ($51.4 million of the gross $291.4 million net of $1.6 million of allocated offering costs). Due to the non-cash phantom yield and including debt issue cost amortization, the 2025 Convertible Notes had reported interest expense in 2020 at an 8.4% rate, higher than the 3.5% cash coupon rate. Effective January 1, 2021, ATI early-adopted new accounting guidance as discussed in Note 1 that eliminated the equity component classification of the embedded conversion option, as well as the phantom yield portion of interest expense on a prospective basis. Upon adoption on January 1, 2021, long-term debt increased by $45.4 million representing the $46.8 million equity component of convertible debt as of December 31, 2020, net of reclassified debt issue costs.
Holders of the 2025 Convertible Notes may require ATI to repurchase their 2025 Convertible Notes upon the occurrence of certain events that constitute a fundamental change under the indenture governing the 2025 Convertible Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In connection with certain corporate events or if ATI issues a notice of redemption, it will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their 2025 Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate event or during the relevant redemption period.
In connection with the pricing of the 2025 Convertible Notes, ATI entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to ATI’s common stock upon any conversion of the 2025 Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments ATI is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2025 Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The cap price of the capped call transactions initially is approximately $19.76 per share, and is subject to adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.
2022 Convertible Notes
In 2022, $82.5 million of the 2022 Convertible Senior Notes were converted into 5.7 million shares of ATI common stock, with the remaining $1.7 million of outstanding principal balance paid in cash for notes that were not converted at the July 1, 2022 maturity date. The conversion rate for the 2022 Convertible Notes was 69.2042 shares of ATI common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2022 Convertible Notes, equivalent to a conversion price of $14.45 per share.

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 December 31, 2019,2022, the Company had entered into financial hedging arrangements primarily at the request of its customers, related to firm orders, for an aggregate notional amount of approximately 76 million pounds of nickel with hedge dates through 2023.2024. The aggregate notional amount hedged is approximately 7%8% of a single year’s estimated nickel raw material purchase requirements. These derivative instruments are used to hedge the variability of a selling price that is based on the London Metals Exchange (LME) index for nickel, as well as to hedge the variability of the purchase cost of nickel based on this LME index. Any gain or loss associated with these hedging arrangements is included in sales or cost of sales, depending on whether the underlying risk being hedged was the variable selling price or the variable raw material cost, respectively.
At December 31, 2019,2022, the outstanding financial derivatives used to hedge the Company’s exposure to energy cost volatility included natural gas cost hedges. At December 31, 2019,2022, the company hedged approximately 70% of the Company’s annual forecasted domestic requirements for natural gas for 20202023 and approximately 50%25% for 2021.2024.
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, primarily euros. In addition, the Company may also hedge forecasted capital expenditures and designate cash balances held in foreign currencies as hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions. At December 31, 2019,2022, the Company held euro forward purchase contracts for forecasted capital expenditures designated as cash flow hedges with a notional value of approximately 2 million euro with maturity dates through May 2020.
In 2015, the Company entered into 244.7 million euro notional value ofhad no significant outstanding foreign currency forward contracts designated as fair value hedges maturity dates through 2017. The Company recorded $2.7 million of charges during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 in costs of sales on the consolidated statement of operations for maturities and mark-to-market changes on these fair value hedges. There were no outstanding fair value hedges as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.contracts.

The Company may enter into derivative interest rate contracts to maintain a reasonable balance between fixed- and floating-rate debt. In July 2019, theThe Company amended itshas a $50 million floating-for-fixed interest rate swap that matures in June 2024 which converts half of the ABL Term Loan to a 4.21% fixed rate (now 4.21% following the September 30, 2019 ABL amendment), with a June 2024 maturity.rate. The Company designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge of the Company’s exposure to the variability of the payment of interest on a portion of its ABL Term Loan borrowings. The ineffectivenessineffective portion at hedge inception, determined from the fair value of the swap immediately prior to amendment will bein July 2019, was amortized to interest expense over the initial ABL Term Loan swap maturity date of January 12, 2021.

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.
The fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are presented below, representing the gross amounts recognized which are not offset by counterpartcounterparty or by type of item hedged. 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 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. For derivative financial instruments that are designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in current period results and are reported as changes within accrued liabilities and other on the consolidated statements of cash flows. There were no outstanding fair value hedges as of December 31, 2022 or 2021. The Company did not use net investment hedges for the periods presented. The effects of derivative instruments in the tables below are presented net of related income taxes, excluding any impacts of changes to income tax valuation allowances affecting results of operations or other comprehensive income, when applicable. The 2019 income tax provision includes $6.0 million of tax expense for the recognition of a stranded deferred tax balance arising from deferred tax valuation allowances that was associated with a cash flow hedge portfolio that fully settled in the fourth quarter of 2019 (see Notes 15 and 17 for further explanation on tax impacts within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)). This tax impact is also excluded from the table below.

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 availability of observable market data is monitored to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period. No transfers between levels were reported in 2019 or 2018.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: Fair values were determined using Level 1 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 20212022 Convertible Notes (prior to redemptionconversion in December 2019)the second quarter of 2022), the 20222025 Convertible Notes, the 2023 Notes, the Allegheny Ludlum 6.95% Debentures due 2025, and the 2027 Notes, (subsequent to issuance in November 2019)the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes were determined using Level 1 information. The fair values of other short-term and long-term debt were determined using Level 2 information.
Note 14. Retirement Benefits
The Company has defined contribution retirement plans or defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all employees. Company contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are generally based on a percentage of eligible pay or based on hours worked. Benefits under the defined benefit pension plans are generally based on years of service and/or final average pay.
The Company also sponsors several postretirement plans covering certain collectively-bargained salaried and hourly employees. The plans provide health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees. In most retiree health care plans, Company contributions towards premiums are capped based on the cost as of a certain date, thereby creating a defined contribution.
ATI instituted several actionsinitiatives over the last few yearsa multi-year period as part of its retirement benefit liability managementreduction strategy. Future benefit accruals for all participants in the U.S. defined benefit pension plans other than those subject to a CBA were frozen at the end of 2014, and subsequently CBAs were negotiated to close these plans to new entrants. As a result of these actions, the Company has now completely closed all defined benefit pension plans to new entrants, and has substantially limited the number of employees still accruing benefit service to approximately 1,300less than 900 participants, or less than 10%approximately 7% of the population in the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans. Additionally, all of ATI’s remaining collectively-bargained, capped defined benefit retiree health care plans are now closed to new entrants. These liability management actions have transitioned ATI’s retirement benefit and other postretirement benefit programs largely to a defined contribution structure. Since 2013, five annuity buyouts of retired participants and two voluntary cash out programs of deferred participants during this period have helped to reduce the total participants in ATI’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans by more than 60%.
Costs for defined contribution retirement plans were $44.8$31.1 million in 2019, $39.92022, $20.4 million in 2018,2021, and $35.5$29.9 million in 2017.2020. Company contributions to these defined contribution plans are funded with cash. From June 1, 2020 in response to the economic challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company reduced its qualified non-elective contribution percentage and suspended all Company match contributions for salaried participants in the ATI 401(k) Savings Plan, and deferred the funding of Company contributions to this plan, until mid-2021. In 2022, the Company implemented certain plan
68


design changes to the ATI 401(k) Savings Plan which decreased the qualified non-elective contribution percentage and increased the Company match contribution percentage. Other postretirement benefit costs for a defined contribution plan under the terms of a CBA were $1.0 million $1.0 million, and $1.7$0.7 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019, 20182022 and 2017,2020, respectively. There were no costs for this plan in 2021.

On June 1, 2018,May 12, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Sheffield, UK operations (see Note 6). As a new CBA was ratified by USW-represented employeesresult of this sale, ATI recognized a $29.5 million settlement loss, which is recorded in loss on asset sales and sales of businesses, net, on the Company’s Specialty Alloys & Components (SAC)consolidated statement of operations, in Millersburg, OR. The new SAC CBA resulted in changes to retirement benefit programs, including a freeze to new entrantsrelated to the U.S.amount in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the UK defined benefit pension plan that transferred as part of the sale. Pension liabilities and to postretirement health care benefits, and a hard freezeassets for most currentthis UK defined benefit pension plan participants covered bythat were removed as a result of this divestiture are included below in the SACtables of changes in benefit obligations and changes in plan assets, respectively.

On July 14, 2021, ATI announced that a new four-year labor agreement with the USW was ratified (see Note 1 for further discussion). As a result of this new CBA, effective July 31, 2018. New hires covered byATI recognized a $64.9 million pretax settlement gain, which is recorded in nonoperating retirement benefit income/expense on the CBA, and pension plan participants who are subject to the hard freeze, will receive Company contributionsconsolidated statement of operations, related to a defined contribution retirement plan. The CBA also includedplan termination that eliminated certain postretirement medical benefit liabilities, comprised of $43.0 million of long-term postretirement benefit liabilities as of July 2021 and $21.9 million of amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income at that date. Discrete tax effects related to this event were $15.5 million of income tax expense (see Note 17 for further discussion).
In 2020, the Company recorded a $17.4 million termination benefits charge for pension benefit increases for all current pension plan participants affecting both prior and future service. The Company recognizedpostretirement medical obligations, net of a $0.4$0.2 million pension curtailment chargegain, related to facility closures in the second quarter 2018AA&S segment resulting from the Company’s strategic shift to exit lower-margin standard stainless products.

Other postretirement benefit plan amendments in 2019 are the result of converting certain covered groups to prospectively receive post-age 65 subsidies on a third-party retiree medical plan exchange, rather than continuing to receive Company-provided health plan benefits. Pension plan curtailments and amendments in 2018 are the result of changes to retirement benefit programs in the SAC CBA as discussed above. Actuarial effects of changes in discount rates are separately identified in the preceding table. During 2018, anNet actuarial loss was recognized(gains) losses – other for 2021 is primarily comprised of revisions to estimates for mortality, termination rates, retirement rates, forms of benefit payment elected, and other demographic assumptions based on the Company’s other postretirement benefit obligations due to an updated study on attrition rates of participants in certain retiree medical plans.plan experience.

Retirement benefit expense for 20202023 for defined benefit plans is estimated to be approximately $60$74 million,, comprised of $40$58 million for pension expense and $20$16 million of expense for other postretirement benefits. The net actuarial loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations using a corridor method. Because all of ATI’s pension plans are inactive, cumulative gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market value of plan assets are amortized over the expected average remaining future lifetime of participants, which is approximately 1817 years on a weighted average basis. Prior service cost (credit) amortization is recognized in level amounts over the expected service of the active membership as of the amendment effective date. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss that are expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost in 20202023 are:

The Company funds the U.S. defined benefit pension plans in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Internal Revenue Code. Based upon current regulationsAs a result of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) enacted in March 2021, the rules governing pension funding calculations changed, and actuarial studies, theminimum funding requirements were reduced. As a result of these ARPA changes, ATI’s prior contributions have generated a credit balance that may be utilized to offset future minimum required contributions. The Company expects to make approximately $130 million inhas no required cash contributions to its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2020.2023, and made a voluntary cash contribution of approximately $50 million to these plans in

The annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (the health care cost trend rate) for health care plans was 6.0%7.8% in 20202023 and is assumed to gradually decrease to 4.5%4.0% in the year 20382048 and remain at that level thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates can have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans, however, the Company’s contributions for most of its’its retiree health plans are capped based on a fixed premium amount, which limits the impact of future health care cost increases.

The fair values of the Company’s pension plan assets are determined using net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient, or by information categorized in the fair value hierarchy level based on the inputs used to determine fair value, as further discussed in Note 13.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Investments in U.S. and International equities, and Fixed Income are predominantly held in common/collective trust funds and registered investment companies. Some of these investments are publicly traded securities and are classified as Level 1, while others are public investment vehicles valued using the NAV provided by the administrator
72


of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. These investments are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. In addition, some fixed income instruments are investments in debt instruments that are valued using external pricing vendors and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Floating interest rate global debt instruments are both domestic and foreign and include first lien debt, second lien debt and structured finance obligations, among others. These instruments are valued using NAV and are not classified in the fair value hierarchy, or are publicly traded securities and are classified as Level 1.hierarchy.
Private equity investments include both Direct Funds and Fund-of-Funds. Direct Funds are investments in Limited Partnership (LP) interests. Fund-of-Funds are investments in private equity funds that invest in other private equity funds or LPs. Fair value of these investments is determined utilizing net asset values, and are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.
HedgeAlternative investments include hedge fund and real estate investments that are made as a limited partner in hedge funds managed by a general partner. Fair value of these investments is determined utilizing net asset values, and are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.
Real estate investments are made as a limited partner in a portfolio of properties managed by a general partner. Fair value of these investments is determined utilizing net asset values, and are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.

For certain investments which have formal financial valuations reported on a one-quarter lag, fair value is determined utilizing net asset values adjusted for subsequent cash flows, estimated financial performance and other significant events.
For 2020,2023, the weighted average expected long-term rate of return on defined benefit pension assets is 7.16%6.57%. In developing expected long-term rate of return assumptions, the Company evaluated input from its third party pension plan asset managers and actuaries, including reviews of their asset class return expectations and long-term inflation assumptions. An expected long-term rate of return is based on expected asset allocations within ranges for each investment category and projected annual compound returns. The Company’s actual, weighted average returns on pension assets for the last five years have been (14.5)% for 2022, 12.4% for 2021, 15.2% for 2020, 15.1% for 2019, and (4.8)% for 2018, 16.9% for 2017, 5.3% for 2016, and (1.2)% for 2015.2018.
The plan assets for the ATI Pension Plan, the Company’s primary U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan, represent over 90%nearly 95% of ATI’s total pension plan assets at December 31, 2019.2022. The ATI Pension Plan invests in a diversified portfolio consisting of an array of asset classes that attempts to maximize returns while minimizing volatility. These asset classes include U.S. domestic equities, non-U.S. developed market equities, emerging market equities, hedge funds, private equity, traditional fixed income consisting of long government/credit and alternative credit, and real estate. The Company continually monitors the investment results of these asset classes and its fund managers, and explores other potential asset classes for possible future investment.
The target asset allocations for ATI Pension Plan for 2020,2023, by major investment category, are:
Asset categoryTarget asset allocation range

As of December 31, 2019,2022, the Company’s pension plans had outstanding commitments to invest up to $46$45 million in global debt securities, $91$125 million in private equity investments and $51$29 million in real estate investments. These commitments are expected to be satisfied through the reallocation of pension trust assets while maintaining investments within the target asset allocation ranges.
The Company contributes to several multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under collective bargaining agreements that cover certain of its union-represented employees. The risks of participating in such plans are different from the risks of single-employer plans, in the following respects:
a.Assets contributed to a multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.
b.If a participating employer ceases to contribute to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.
c.
a.Assets contributed to a multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.
b.If a participating employer ceases to contribute to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.
c.If the Company ceases to have an obligation to contribute to the multiemployer plan in which it had been a contributing employer, it may be required to pay to the plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan and on the history of the Company’s participation in the plan prior to the cessation of its obligation to contribute. The amount that an employer that has ceased to have an obligation to contribute to a multiemployer plan is required to pay to the plan is referred to as a withdrawal liability.

A subsidiary of the Company participates in the following table. The Company’s contributions to the Steelworkers Western Independent Shops Pension Plan exceed 5%(WISPP) for union-represented employees of the primary titanium operations in Albany, OR, which is funded on an hours-worked basis. Manufacturing operations at this plan’s totalfacility have been idled throughout 2021 and most of 2022, with a limited number of employees that participate in the WISPP remaining active in maintenance and other functions. It is at least reasonably possible that significant reductions in, or the elimination of hours-worked contributions due to changes in operating rates at this facility could result in a withdrawal liability assessment in a future period. A complete withdrawal liability is estimated to be approximately $27 million on an undiscounted basis, based on information for the plan year ended September 30, 2018,2021, which is the most recent information available from the Plan Administrator. If this complete withdrawal liability was incurred, ATI estimates that payments of the obligation would be required on a straight-line basis over a 15-year period.

The Company’s participation in multiemployer plans for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 is reported in the following table.

(1)The most recent Pension Protection Act Zone Status is based on information provided to ATI and other participating employers by each plan, as certified by the plan’s actuary. A plan in the “deep red” zone had been determined to be in “critical and declining status”, based on criteria established by the Internal Revenue Code (Code), and is in critical status (as defined by the “red” zone) and is projected to become insolvent (run out of money to pay benefits) within 15 years (or within 20 years if a special rule applies). A plan in the “red” zone had been determined to be in “critical status”, based on criteria established by the Code, and is generally less than 65% funded. A plan in the “yellow” zone has been determined to be in “endangered status”, based on criteria established under the Code, and is generally less than 80% funded. A plan in the “green” zone has been determined to be neither in “critical status” nor in “endangered status”, and is generally at least 80% funded. Additionally, a plan may voluntarily place itself into a rehabilitation plan.
In April 2019, the Company received notification from the IAM National Pension Fund (IAM Fund) that its’ actuary certified the IAM Fund as “endangered status” for the plan year beginning January 1, 2019, and that the IAM Fund was voluntarily placing itself in “red” zone status and implementing a rehabilitation plan. In April 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Company received notification from the IAM Fund that it was certified by its actuary as being in “red” zone status for the plan years beginning January 1, 2020 and 2021. A contribution surcharge was imposed as of June 1, 2019 in addition to the contribution rate specified in the applicable collective bargaining agreements. The contribution surcharge remains in effect, and ends when an employer begins contributing under a collective bargaining agreement that includes terms consistent with the rehabilitation plan.
In April 2019, the Company received notifications from the Boilermakers-Blacksmiths National Pension Trust (Blacksmiths Trust) that it was certified by its actuary as being in “red” zone status for the plan year beginning January 1, 2019. A rehabilitation plan has been adopted for the Blacksmiths Trust, and the Company and the Blacksmiths union agreed to adopt the rehabilitation plan in 2019 prior to a contribution surcharge being imposed. In April 2020 and 2021, the funding status improved for the Blacksmiths Trust as it was certified by its actuary as being in the “yellow” zone for the plan years beginning January 1, 2020 and 2021. In April 2022, the funding status further improved to being in the "green" zone for the plan year beginning January 1, 2022.

(2)The “FIP / RP Status Pending / Implemented” column indicates whether a Funding Improvement Plan, as required under the Code by plans in the “yellow” zone, or a Rehabilitation Plan, as required under the Code to be adopted by plans in the “red” or “deep red” zones, is pending or has been implemented as of the end of the plan year that ended in 2022.

(1)The most recent Pension Protection Act Zone Status is based on information provided to ATI and other participating employers by each plan, as certified by the plan’s actuary. A plan in the “red” zone had been determined to be in “critical status”, based on criteria established by the Internal Revenue Code (Code), and is generally less than 65% funded. A plan in the “yellow” zone has been determined to be in “endangered status”, based on criteria established under the Code, and is generally less than 80% funded. A plan in the “green” zone has been determined to be neither in “critical status” nor in “endangered status”, and is generally at least 80% funded. Additionally, a plan may voluntarily place itself into a rehabilitation plan. In April 2019, the Company received notification from the IAM National Pension Fund (IAM Fund) that its’ actuary certified the IAM Fund as “endangered status” for the plan year beginning January 1, 2019, and that the IAM Fund was voluntarily placing itself in “red” zone status and implementing a rehabilitation plan. A 5% contribution surcharge has been imposed as of June 1, 2019 for the rest of 2019, increasing to a 10% surcharge rate beginning January 1, 2020 in addition to the contribution rate specified in the applicable collective bargaining agreements. The contribution surcharge ends when an employer begins contributing under a collective bargaining agreement that includes terms consistent with the rehabilitation plan. In April 2019, the Company received notification from the Boilermakers-Blacksmiths National Pension Trust (Blacksmiths Trust) that it was certified by its actuary as being in “red” zone status for the plan year beginning January 1, 2019. A rehabilitation plan has been adopted for the Blacksmiths Trust, and the Company and the Blacksmiths union agreed to adopt the rehabilitation plan in 2019 prior to a contribution surcharge being imposed.

Share-based Compensation
During 2015,In May 2022, the Company adoptedCompany’s stockholders approved the Allegheny Technologies Incorporated 2015ATI Inc. 2022 Incentive Plan (the “2015“2022 Incentive Plan”). In May 2017, the Company adopted the Allegheny Technologies Incorporated 2017 Incentive Plan (the “2017 Incentive Plan”).
UponFollowing adoption, of the 2017 Incentive Plan, all new share-based compensation awards are being made under the 20172022 Incentive Plan. Shares previously remaining available for grant under the 2015 Incentive Plan,prior incentive plans, or which become available for award due to the forfeiture or cancellation of prior awards under the 2015 Incentive Plan,those prior plans, are available for award under the 20172022 Incentive Plan. Outstanding grants previously made under the 2015 Incentive Planprior incentive plans remain in effect in accordance with their terms and the terms of their respective Plan.relevant terms.
Awards earned under the Company’s share-based incentive compensation programs are generally paid with shares held in treasury, if sufficient treasury shares are held, and any additional required share payments are made with newly issued shares. At December 31, 2019, 4.12022, 4.6 million shares of common stock were available for future awards under the 20172022 Incentive Plan. The general terms of each arrangement granted under the 2015 Incentive Plan or the 20172022 Incentive Plan, and predecessor plans, the method of estimating fair value for each arrangement, and award activity is reported below.
Beginning in 2016, the Company implemented a newThe Company’s share-based incentive compensation program the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The LTIP consists of both service-based and performance/market-based awards. These awards convey participants the right to receive shares of ATI common stock if the service conditions, and performance or market requirements, of the awards are attained.
Service-based awards:
Restricted Share Units (RSU) and Performance Share Units (PSU).
For years prior to 2016, the Company’s two principal share-based incentive compensation programs were the Performance/Restricted Stock Program (PRSP) of nonvested stock awards and the Long-Term Performance Plan (LTPP). The LTPP was adopted in 2014 and included performance shares under the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) portion and nonvested stock awards under the Long-Term Shareholder Value (LTSV) portion.
Nonvested stock awards/units:
Restricted Share Units:Beginning in 2016, annual awards of RSUs were granted to employees, with service conditions. RSUsshare units (RSUs) are rights to receive shares of Company stock when the award vests. The RSUs generally vest over three years based on employment service, with one-third of the award vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. RSU awards to non-employee directors vest in one year. No dividends are accumulated or paid on the RSUs. The fair value of the RSU award is measured based on the stock price at the grant date. In 2017, 2018 and 2019, 320,808, 253,393 and 345,400 RSUs, respectively, were awarded to employees under the LTIP. In February 2019, one-third of the 2016, 2017 and 2018 RSU awards vested, comprising 175,287, 102,188 and 83,312 shares, respectively. In February 2018, one-third of the 2016 and 2017 RSU awards vested, comprising 178,335 and 102,279 shares, respectively. In February 2017, one-third of the 2016 RSU award vested, comprising 190,421 shares.

Nonvested stock awards: Prior to 2016, awards of nonvested stock were granted to employees under the PRSP, with either performance and/or service conditions. Awards of nonvested stock are also granted to non-employee directors, with service conditions. For nonvested stock awards, dividend equivalents, whether in stock or cash form, accumulate but are not paid until the underlying award vests.
LTSV awards vest at the end of a three-year measurement period subject to the achievement, in whole or in part, of specified operational goals. At December 31, 2017, 60% of the operational goals for the 2015 LTSV were attained and 73,734 shares vested and 49,148 shares were forfeited. As of December 31, 2017, there were no remaining LTSV awards outstanding.
The fair value of nonvested stock awards is measured based on the stock price at the grant date, adjusted for non-participating dividends, as applicable, based on the current dividend rate. For nonvested stock awards to employees in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 under the Company’s PRSP, one-half of the nonvested stock (“performance shares”) vested only on the attainment of an

income target, measured cumulatively over a three-year period. The remaining nonvested stock awarded to most employees under the 2015 PRSP vests over a service period of three years; for certain senior executives this service period is five years for the 2015 award. The remaining PRSP nonvested stock awarded to employees under the 2012, 2013 and 2014 vest over a service period of five years, with accelerated vesting to three years if the performance shares’ vesting criterion was attained. Expense for each of these awards was recognized based on estimates of attaining the performance criterion, including estimated forfeitures. The three-year cumulative income statement metrics in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 PRSP awards were not met, and performance share forfeitures were 171,083, 244,899, 214,571 and 196,196 shares, respectively. The remaining service portion of the 2014 PRSP, comprising 207,751 shares, vested in February 2019. The remaining service portion of the 2013 PRSP, comprising 233,896 shares, vested in February 2018. The remaining service portion of the 2012 PRSP, comprising of 166,929 shares, vested in February 2017. The remaining service portion of the 2015 PRSP for all employees except certain senior executives, comprising of 126,585 shares, vested at December 31, 2017. Vesting of the remaining service portion of the 2015 PRSP awards for certain senior executives continues over the five-year service period through February 2020.
Compensation expense related to all nonvested stockRSU awards and units was $9.8$13.4 million in 2019, $9.72022, $14.3 million in 2018,2021, and $9.8$9.6 million in 2017.2020. Approximately $5.9$8.2 million of unrecognized fair value compensation expense relating to nonvested stock awards and restricted stock units is expected to be recognized through 2022, including $4.62025, with $6.3 million expected to be recognized in 2020, based on estimated2023, including estimates of service period forfeitures. Activity under the Company’s nonvested stockRSU awards and restricted share units for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018,2022, 2021, and 20172020 was as follows:

These PSU award opportunities, arethe last of which vested at the conclusion of its applicable three-year performance period on December 31, 2022, were determined at a target number of shares,units, and the number of shares awarded iswas based on attainment of two ATI financial performance metrics. PSU awards through 2020 are accounted for as performance condition plans with service vesting requirements, with compensation expense during the performance period recognized based on estimates of attaining the performance criteria, including estimated forfeitures. The metrics for PSU awards granted through 2018 measured (1) net income attributable to ATI and (2) return on invested capital, over a three-year performance period. The metrics for thePSU awards granted in 2019 awardand 2020 measured (1) net income attributable to ATI and (2) return on capital employed, over a three-year performance period with a threshold attainment of 25% and a maximum attainment of 200% of the target financial performance metrics and target share units, measured over the applicable three-year performance period. For certain senior executives, the number of PSUs to be awarded based on the performance criteria iswas modified up or down by up to 20% based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return (TSR) over the performance measurement period (“TSR Modifier”), but not above the maximum number of PSUs to be vested. The TSR Modifier is measured as the return of the Company’s stock price (including assumed dividend reinvestment, if any) at the end of the performance period as compared to the stock prices (including assumed dividend reinvestment, if any) of a group of industry peers. The fair value of the PSU award iswas measured based on the stock price at the grant date, including the effect of the TSR Modifier. The fair value of the TSR Modifier is estimatedwas determined by using Monte Carlo simulations of stock price correlation, projected dividend yields and other variables over a three-year time horizon matching the TSR performance measurement period. Expense recognition varied with the level of performance achieved.
In 2017, 2018 and 2019, theMarket condition awards:
The Company awarded 589,980, 456,318PSUs with market requirements in 2021 and 479,364 share units, respectively, at the target level with a weighted average grant date fair value of $12.4 million, $12.9 million2022. The 2021 and $14.7 million respectively. The 20172022 PSU performance, and share units, each have a threshold attainment of 25% and a maximum attainment of 150% of the target financial performance metrics and target share units, measured over the applicable three-year performance period. The 2018 and 2019 PSU performance, and share units, each have a threshold attainment of 25% and a maximum attainment of 200% of the target financial performance metrics and target share units, measured over the applicable three-year performance period. At December 31, 2019, a maximum of 1.8 million shares have been reserved for issuance for the PSU awards. At December 31, 2019, the 2017 PSU awards vested above target and at +20% for the TSR Modifier, resulting in the issuance of 669,898 shares. At December 31, 2018, the 2016 PSU awards vested with financial performance attainment between threshold and target and at +20% for the TSR Modifier, resulting in the issuance of 329,897 shares. Aggregate compensation expense recognized over the three year performance periods for the 2018 and 2019 PSU awards could range from 0 to $51 million, including estimated forfeitures, based on the actual financial performance attained. Compensation expense for the PSUs during the performance period is recognized based on estimates of attaining the performance criteria, including estimated forfeitures, which is

evaluated on a quarterly basis. The Company recognized $3.8 million, $11.4 million and $14.6 million of compensation expense in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively, for the PSU awards. As of December 31, 2019, ATI estimates achieving financial performance attainment for the 2018 and 2019 PSU awards slightly above target levels. Based on these estimates, there is $12.9 million of cumulative unrecognized compensation expense remaining for the PSU awards, including estimated forfeitures, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining performance periods through fiscal year 2021. This includes $7.7 million expected to be recognized in 2020. Forfeited share units in 2017, 2018 and 2019 were 67,521, 21,848 and 48,598, respectively, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.0 million, $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

The 2021 and 2022 PSU awards are accounted for as a market condition plan with service vesting requirements, with expense recognized over the service period without regard to the level of TSR attainment or shares awarded. The actual number of shares awarded at the end of the performance measurement period may range from a minimum of 0zero to a maximum of 2two times target. Fair valuesTSR is determined over eight distinct quarterly periods as measured from January 1 of the grant year of the award through the end of each quarterly period starting with the first quarter ending in the second year following the grant of the award; earned payouts from each TSR measurement period are averaged to determine the final payout at the conclusion of the three-year period. The fair value for these performance awards were estimatedthis award was determined by using Monte Carlo simulations of stock price correlation, projected dividend yields and other variables over the three-year time horizonshorizon matching the total shareholderTSR measurement period.
In 2022, the Company awarded a new one-time grant of PSUs with market requirements, called the Breakout Performance Award (BPA). The BPA has a target number of share units, and the number of shares awarded is based on the absolute return performanceon the Company’s stock during a four-year measurement periods.

On December 22, 2017,The Company’s income tax expense has been impacted by the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cutseffects of valuation allowances on federal and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code. Changes impacting the Company’s tax provision for the past three years include the following:

(1) Reducing the U.S. federal current and deferred rate to 21%; The change in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% resulted in a $2.6 million benefit, which was recognized in 2017, as it related to the remeasurement of indefinite lived deferred tax liabilities. In addition, the reconciliation of income taxes utilized a 35% U.S. federal tax rate for 2017 compared to 2019 and 2018 which utilized a 21% federal tax rate.

(2) Repeal of the alternative minimum tax, which resulted in a $1.5 million decrease in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance that was recognized in 2017. This tax benefit, along with the benefit related to the remeasurement of indefinite livedstate deferred tax assets is combined for a total benefit of $4.1 million and presented within the 2017 income tax reconciliation as Impact from U.S. tax reform in the above table.

(3) Requiring companies to pay a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries, with $5.9 million included in the 2018 tax provision. This is also reported as Impact from U.S. tax reform for 2018.

(4) Requiring a current year inclusion in U.S. federal taxable income of certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations, commonly referred to as Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI), for which the Company is currently utilizing pre-January 1, 2018 net operating losses (NOLs) to offset the 2019 income inclusion of $16.8 million ($3.5 million net tax effect) and utilized pre-January 1, 2018 losses in 2018 to offset the $25.7 million ($5.4 million net tax effect) inclusion. The Company has elected to recognize GILTI liabilities as an element of income tax expense in the period incurred.

(5) Creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense, for which the Company has estimated the federal limitation to be $24 million in 2019, creating an indefinite lived deferred tax asset for which a valuation allowance was not established. This limitation is affected by the interpretation of the meaning of depreciation in the proposed regulations, which could change as additional guidance and/or final regulations are issued. The Company continues to analyze additional planning around the overall calculation and continues to wait for final regulations.
In 2018, the Company was granted a preferential tax rate related to the STAL joint venture operations in China for tax years 20182020 through 2020. The preferential tax rate is 15%, compared to the statutory rate of 25%. The Company has benefited from past preferential tax rate grants by the Chinese government, and the previous 15% three-year preferential tax rate expired on December 31, 2017.

In 2019, the Company restructured certain foreign legal entities, including the elimination of entities that were no longer cost-effective following changes of the Tax Act, which resulted in $4.2 million of tax expense related to previously-recognized net operating loss carryforwards.

2022. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Valuation allowances are established when it is estimated that it is more likely than not the tax benefit of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, regarding the estimated future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, historical taxable income in prior carryback periods if carryback is permitted, and potential tax planning strategies which may be employed to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused. The verifiable evidence such as future reversals of existing temporary differences and the ability to carryback are considered before the subjective sources such as estimateestimated future taxable income exclusive of temporary differences and tax planning strategies. In situations where a three-year cumulative loss position exists, accounting standards limit the ability to consider projections of future results as positive evidence to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets.assets is subjective. If the Company determines that it would not be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their recorded net amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would result.
Beginning in 2015, the Company’s results reflected a 3 year cumulative loss fromIn 2020, ATI’s U.S. operations and valuation allowances were established on its’ federal and state deferred tax assets. In 2017, the Company’s results reflected a partial release of the valuation allowance relatedreturned to the federal and state deferred tax assets, along with the one-time transition tax inclusion in 2017. In 2018 based upon updated guidance, approximately $28.2 million of available tax credits were used instead of the NOL to offset the transition tax inclusion. This overall change in presentation was reflected within the 2018 effective tax rate.
In 2018, the Company reported income before tax of $247.7 million, of which $190.8 million was attributable to the U.S. The overall income, along with the GILTI inclusion for the year, resulted in the Company utilizing NOL deferred tax assets in 2018, which resulted in a U.S. valuation allowance release of $46.3 million for 2018. At December 31, 2018, the Company continued to maintain a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, with the exception of the indefinite lived deferred tax liability related to goodwill and the withholding tax liability associated with its permanent reinvestment assertion, as well as valuation allowances for certain foreign operations.
At December 31, 2019, the Company’s U.S. results have switched from a three-year cumulative loss position, to a three-year cumulative income position, allowinglimiting the Companyability to utilize forecasts of future profitsprojections as a sourceverifiable sources of income when evaluatinganalyzing the overall need for a valuation allowance. The Company determined that valuation allowances on netconsolidated income tax provision for fiscal year 2020 included a $335.5 million increase to the deferred tax asset balances for federal and certain state jurisdictions are no longer required. Certain individual tax attributes still require a valuation allowance based on an analysis of the expected utilization.more likely than not realization of deferred tax assets and liabilities within applicable expiration periods, primarily on U.S. federal and state tax attributes.
In 2021, ATI incurred tax expense associated with the valuation allowance due to the postretirement medical benefit settlement gain along with the U.S. operations plus permanent adjustments (goodwill and Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI)) being a loss. The overall balance of the valuation allowance decreased in total mainly due to the overall change in AOCI associated with the overallCompany’s retirement benefit plans.
In 2022, ATI recorded a tax benefit associated with the valuation allowance due to the current year income for 2019 includes amountsthe U.S. operations. As a result of the current year income, ATI utilized duringnet operating loss carryovers which in turn resulted in a release of the corresponding valuation allowance on the operating loss deferred tax assets.
The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2022, is mainly attributable to the Company’s foreign operations and state income tax expense associated with states that limit net operating loss utilization.On May 12, 2022, the Company sold its Sheffield, UK operations which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $141.0 million (see Note 6 for further explanation) for which the benefit was disallowed for tax purposes, resulting in a $29.1 million tax expense impact as part ofshown in the reported effective tax rate as well as a $45.1 million reduction atreconciliation table above.
The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2019 based2021 is mainly attributable to the $15.5 million in discrete tax effects related to the postretirement medical benefits settlement gain discussed in Note 14, in accordance with ATI’s accounting policy for recognizing deferred tax amounts stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI). This $15.5 million is presented within two lines in the above table, $11.6 million within valuation allowance and $3.9 million on a changethe

In 2021, the Company allocated $12.2 million of the goodwill from ATI’s Forged Products reporting unit to the sale of Flowform Products (see Note 6 for further explanation) which was non-deductible for tax purposes, resulting in a $2.6 million expense included as a reconciling item in the table above.
In 2020, the Company recorded a $287.0 million pre-tax charge for goodwill impairment (see Note 5 for additional information) which included a portion that was non-deductible for tax purposes, resulting in a $50.4 million expense included as a reconciling item in the table above.
The Company also establishedmaintained valuation allowances on deferred tax amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive lossAOCI in 2017, 20182022, 2021 and 20192020 of $28.8$67.5 million, $49.3$15.8 million, and $41.5$50.3 million, respectively, which are not reflected in the preceding table reconciling amounts recognized in the income tax provision (benefit) recorded onin the statement of operations (see Note 15). Due
Additionally, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) requires a current year inclusion in U.S. federal taxable income of certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations, commonly referred to as GILTI. In 2022, due to the change in judgmentloss on the realizabilitysale of deferredthe Sheffield operations, there is no current year inclusion. In 2021, GILTI represents an unfavorable tax assets at December 31, 2019, no changesrate item of $2.0 million which is primarily related to the beginningCompany’s income associated with the PRS joint venture operations in China. The impact in 2020 related to GILTI is minimal due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has elected to recognize GILTI liabilities as an element of year balances for U.S deferred tax valuation allowances were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss in 2019. The 2019 income tax provision includes $6.0 million of tax expense forin the recognition of a stranded deferred tax balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss arising from deferred tax valuation allowances that was associated with a cash flow hedge portfolio that fully settled inperiod incurred.
In the fourth quarter of 2019. See Notes 12 and 152021, the Company was granted a preferential tax rate related to the PRS joint venture operations in China for additional information on cash flow hedge activity.tax years 2021 through 2023. The preferential tax rate is 15%, compared to the statutory rate of 25%. The Company must re-apply for the High Tech-New Enterprise status every three years to be eligible for the preferential rate. This same preferential tax rate was in effect for tax years 2018 through 2020.

Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for financial and income tax reporting purposes, and differences between the fair value of assets acquired in business combinations accounted for as purchases for financial reporting purposes and their corresponding tax bases. Deferred income taxes represent future tax benefits or costs to be recognized when those temporary differences reverse. The categories of assets and liabilities that have resulted in differences in the timing of the recognition of income and expense at December 31, 20192022 and 20182021 were as follows:

reductions in the valuation allowance related to the benefit in AOCI of $51.7 million (as discussed in Note 15);

$13.6 million removal of valuation allowance associated with the sale of the Sheffield operations.

$43.4 million related to the presentation of state taxes and certain adjustments that have a direct valuation allowance offset, resulting in no net tax expense or benefit. Due to the change in future tax rates in Pennsylvania, the Company recorded an overall decrease in deferred tax assets and liabilities which resulted in an offsetting removal of the valuation allowance.

As part of the Tax Act in 2017, a limitation on deductible interest expense was created, which limits deductible interest expense to 30% of adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Tax Act, for various periods. The Company is not limited in its deductible interest expense for 2022 and is utilizing part of the carryover amount associated with the 2021 disallowance of interest expense. A deferred tax asset associated with the carryover limitation is within the “other items” asset category above at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

In general, the Company is responsible for filing consolidated U.S. federal, foreign and combined, unitary or separate state income tax returns. The Company is responsible for paying the taxes relating to such returns, including any subsequent adjustments resulting from the redetermination of such tax liability by the applicable taxing authorities.
Deferred taxes of $3.5$5.3 million have been recorded for foreign withholding taxes on earnings expected to be repatriated to the U.S. The Company does not intend to distribute previously taxed earnings resulting from the one-time transition tax under the Tax Act, and has not recorded any deferred taxes related to such amounts. The remaining excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries is indefinitely reinvested, and the determination of any deferred tax liability on this amount is not practicable.

Uncertain tax positions are recorded using a two-step process based on (1) determining whether it is more-likely-than-not the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company records the largest amount of the tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The changes in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 20172020 were as follows:

For years ended December 31, 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 2017,2020, the liability includes $11.5$7.8 million, $12.1$12.3 million and $11.7$13.0 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits that are classified within deferred income taxes as a reduction of NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes. The total estimated unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would affect ATI’s effective tax rate is approximately $3$1 million. At this time, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $2$1.4 million of the estimated unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 20192022 will be recognized within the next twelve months based on the expiration of statutory review periods.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. The amounts accrued for interest and penalty charges for the years ended December 31, 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 20172020 were not significant. At both December 31, 20192022 and 2018,2021, the accrued liabilities for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were $2.7 million.$1.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, restructuring and other charges were $23.7 million, which included a $28.5 million charge for a litigation settlement (see Note 21), partially offset by $4.8 million of restructuring credits for reductions in severance-related reserves related to approximately 110 employees based on changes in planned operating rates and revised workforce estimates.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, restructuring and other charges were a net benefit of $10.5 million, which primarily included $11.3 million of reversals of previously-recognized restructuring charges separately classified on the consolidated statement of operations, as well as an $0.8 million charge for inventory valuation reserves classified in cost of sales on the consolidated statement of operations related to the 2020 idling of the Albany, OR primary titanium facility. Restructuring items in 2021 include a $12.0 million reduction in severance-related reserves related to approximately 350 employees based on changes in planned operating rates and revised workforce reduction estimates, partially offset by $0.7 million of other costs related to facility idlings.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of $1,132.1 million, predominantly related to the Company’s December 2020 announcement to cease production of standard stainless sheet products.On December 2, 2020, the Company announced a strategic repositioning of its SRP business within the AA&S segment, with a focus of increasing emphasis on the specialty rolled products portion of its product portfolio, which is comprised of titanium-based alloys including aerospace-grade titanium plate products, nickel-based alloys, and stainless products with more differentiated characteristics for specialty applications, including thin-gauge PRS.
Restructuring charges recorded on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $1,107.5 million, comprised of $1,041.5 million of non-cash asset impairment charges, $60.5 million of employee benefit-related costs, and $5.5 million of other costs related to facility idlings. The December 2, 2020 decision to exit production of standard stainless products represented a significant indicator of impairment in the carrying value of certain long-lived assets. Based on projected cash flows of the Brackenridge, PA operations, including the HRPF, the Company completed a fair value analysis as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2020 and recognized a $1,032.6 million impairment charge for this facility based on an estimated fair value of $354 million. This long-lived asset impairment charge was determined using a held in use framework and an income approach, which represents Level 3 unobservable information in the fair value hierarchy. This impairment assessment and valuation method require the Company to make estimates and assumptions regarding future operating results, cash flows, changes in working capital and capital expenditures, selling prices, profitability, and the cost of capital. Many of these assumptions are determined by reference to market participants the Company has identified. For example, the weighted average cost of capital used in the discounted cash flow assessment was 9.3% and the long-term growth rate was 2%. Other long-lived asset impairment charges of $8.9 million were also recognized in 2020 for various AA&S segment operations identified for closure as part of the standard stainless sheet exit decision.
Restructuring charges in 2020 also include $60.5 million of employee benefit costs, representing severance, supplemental unemployment and medical benefits for the elimination of approximately 1,400 positions related to the standard stainless exit, as well as for employees impacted by the idling of the Albany, OR primary titanium operations in the fourth quarter of 2020, and workforce right-sizing actions, including both involuntary reductions and voluntary retirement incentive programs implemented throughout 2020 to better match the Company’s cost structure to expected demand, primarily as a result of economic challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Other costs of $5.5 million included in 2020 restructuring charges primarily relate to asset retirement and environmental obligations associated with facility idlings.
Other charges for the year ended December 31, 2020 include:
$17.4 million of termination benefits for pension and postretirement medical obligations related to facility closures from the standard stainless exit (see Note 14 for further explanation). These costs are classified within nonoperating retirement benefit expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
$7.2 million of other charges for inventory valuation reserves, classified in cost of sales on the consolidated statement of operations, primarily related to excess raw material and work in process inventory at the idled Albany, OR primary titanium facility.

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 adjusts its accruals to reflect new information as appropriate. Future adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations in a given period, but the Company cannot reliably predict the amounts of such future adjustments.
At December 31, 2019,2022, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled approximately $18$13 million,, of which $7$5 million was included in other current liabilities.liabilities. The reserve includes estimated probable future costs of $3$3 million for federal Superfund and comparable state-managed sites; $13$8 million for formerly owned or operated sites for which the Company has remediation or indemnification obligations; $1and $2 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.or plan to be discontinued. The Company continues to evaluate whether it may be able to recover a portion of future costs for environmental liabilities from third parties and to pursue such recoveries where appropriate.
Based on currently available information, it is reasonably possible that the costs for active matters may exceed the Company’s recorded reserves by as much as $16$15 million. Future investigation or remediation activities may result in the discovery of additional hazardous materials, potentially higher levels of contamination than discovered during prior investigation, and may impact costs ofassociated with the success or lack thereof in remedial solutions. Therefore, future developments, administrative actions or liabilities relating to environmental matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
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.
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, environmental, health and safety matters and occupational disease (including as each relates to alleged asbestos exposure), as well as patent infringement, commercial, government contracting, construction, employment, employee and retiree benefits, taxes, environmental, health and safety, occupational disease, and stockholder and corporate governance 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 consolidated 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 consolidated results of operations for that period.
Allegheny Technologies Incorporated and its subsidiary, ATI Titanium LLC (“(ATI Titanium), a subsidiary of ATI Titanium”)Inc., are partieswas party to a lawsuit captioned US Magnesium, LLC v. ATI Titanium LLC (Case No. 2:17-cv-00923-DB) and filed in federal district court in Salt Lake City, UT, pertaining to a Supply and Operating Agreement between US Magnesium LLC (“USM”)(USM) and ATI Titanium entered into in 2006 (the “Supply Agreement”)Supply Agreement). In 2016, ATI Titanium notified USM that it would suspend performance under the Supply Agreement in reliance on certain terms and conditions included in the Supply Agreement. USM subsequently filed a claim challenging ATI Titanium’s right to suspend performance under the Supply Agreement, claiming that such suspension was a material breach of the Supply Agreement and seeking monetary damages, andAgreement. ATI Titanium filedand USM reached a counterclaimlitigation settlement in 2022 for breach$28.5 million, which is reported within other (nonoperating) expense on the consolidated statement of contract against USM. In 2018, USM obtained leave ofoperations and was paid in the court to add Allegheny Technologies Incorporated as a separate party defendant, and ATI Titanium filed a motion to dismiss the claim against Allegheny Technologies Incorporated, which the court denied on April 19, 2019. The case is proceeding through discovery, and while ATI intends to vigorously defend against and pursue these claims, it cannot predict their outcomes at this time.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
Not applicable.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
In accordance with Securities Exchange Act Rules 13-1-15(e) and 15d-15(e), our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2019.2022.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting can also be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.2022. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on that assessment, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2019,2022, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report issued an attestation report on effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.2022.
(c) Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 20192022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Allegheny Technologies Incorporated and Subsidiaries

ATI Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In our opinion, Allegheny Technologies IncorporatedATI Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019,2022, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 20192022 and 2018,2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and statementstatements of changes in consolidated equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019,2022, and the related notes and our report dated February 25, 202024, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
