Accounting Policies

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Accounting Policies	Accounting Policies The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allegheny Technologies Incorporated and its subsidiaries. Unless the context requires otherwise, “Allegheny Technologies”, “ATI” and “the Company” refer to Allegheny Technologies Incorporated and its subsidiaries. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform with fiscal year 2020 presentation. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period. The December 31, 2019 financial information has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company began operating under two revised business segments: High Performance Materials & Components (HPMC) and Advanced Alloys & Solutions (AA&S). HPMC is now comprised of the Specialty Materials and Forged Products businesses, as well as the ATI Europe distribution operations. The new AA&S segment combines the Specialty Alloys & Components (SAC) business, including the primary titanium operations in Richland, WA and Albany, OR, with ATI’s former Flat Rolled Products (FRP) business segment, which included the FRP business and the 60%-owned Shanghai STAL Precision Stainless Steel Company Limited (STAL), as well as the Uniti LLC (Uniti) and Allegheny & Tsingshan Stainless (A&T Stainless) 50%-owned joint ventures that are reported in AA&S segment results under the equity method of accounting. See Note 13, Business Segments, for further information. Financial results of aerospace-grade titanium plate products also transferred from HPMC to AA&S effective January 1, 2020. Prior period segment information has been restated to conform to this operating structure. The Company’s collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) with the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied & Industrial Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC (USW) involving approximately 1,500 full-time represented employees located primarily within the AA&S segment operations expired on February 29, 2020. On March 25, 2020, the Company announced an agreement with the USW that extended the terms of the expired CBAs for one year, to February 28, 2021. New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new optional accounting guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (IBORs), and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. The new accounting guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The new accounting guidance applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments generally do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. Management is continuing to evaluate the issue, and presently does not expect a transition away from LIBOR, primarily involving ATI’s domestic credit facility and an interest rate swap contract, to have any significant financial impact to ATI. 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. 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 the requirement. This guidance was adopted by the Company in fiscal year 2020 without an impact on the Company’s 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. This guidance was adopted by the Company in fiscal year 2020 without significant impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Most of the Company’s inventory is valued utilizing the LIFO costing methodology. Inventory of the Company’s non-U.S. operations is valued using average cost or FIFO methods. 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 $47.6 million at June 30, 2020 and $33.6 million at December 31, 2019. Impacts to cost of sales for changes in the LIFO costing methodology and associated NRV inventory reserves were as follows (in millions): Six months ended June 30, 2020 2019 LIFO benefit $ 14.0 $ 5.8 NRV charge (14.0) (5.9) Net cost of sales impact $ — $ (0.1)

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill Impairment	Goodwill Impairment At June 30, 2020, the Company had $236.4 million of goodwill on its consolidated balance sheet, all of which relates to the HPMC segment. Goodwill decreased $289.4 million at June 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019, due to a $287.0 million interim impairment charge in the HPMC segment and $2.4 million from the impact of foreign currency translation on goodwill denominated in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment evaluations in the fourth quarter of each year. 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. In the previous 2019 annual goodwill impairment evaluation, this reporting unit had a fair value that exceeded carrying value by approximately 30%. For the 2020 interim impairment analysis, fair value was determined by a quantitative assessment that used a discounted cash flow technique, which represents Level 3 unobservable information in the fair value hierarchy. As a result of the second quarter 2020 interim goodwill impairment evaluation, the Company determined that the fair value of the Forged Products reporting unit was below carrying value, including 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 due to near-term reductions in commercial aerospace market demand. Consequently, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $287.0 million impairment charge for the partial impairment of the Forged Products reporting unit goodwill, most of which was assigned from the Company’s 2011 Ladish acquisition that was not deductible for income tax purposes. This goodwill impairment charge was excluded from 2020 HPMC business segment results. Accumulated goodwill impairment losses as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $528.0 million and $241.0 million, respectively . The $236.4 million of goodwill remaining as of June 30, 2020 on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet is comprised of $173.4 million at Forged Products and $63.0 million at Specialty Materials. No indicators of impairment were observed in the second quarter 2020 associated with any other of the Company’s long-lived assets.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Joint Ventures	Joint Ventures 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 statements of operations as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, and as equity attributable to the noncontrolling interests within total stockholders’ equity. 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. Majority-Owned Joint Ventures STAL: The Company has a 60% interest in the Chinese joint venture known as STAL. The remaining 40% interest in STAL is owned by China Baowu Steel Group Corporation Limited, a state authorized investment company whose equity securities are publicly traded in the People’s Republic of China. STAL is part of ATI’s AA&S segment, and manufactures Precision Rolled Strip stainless products mainly for the electronics, communication equipment, computer and automotive markets located in Asia. Cash and cash equivalents held by STAL as of June 30, 2020 were $34.9 million. Next Gen Alloys LLC: The Company has a 51% interest in Next Gen Alloys LLC, a joint venture with GE Aviation for the development of a new meltless titanium alloy powder manufacturing technology. The titanium alloy powders are being developed for use in additive manufacturing applications, including 3D printing. Cash and cash equivalents held by this joint venture as of June 30, 2020 were $4.2 million. Equity Method Joint Ventures A&T Stainless: The Company has a 50% interest in A&T Stainless, a joint venture with an affiliate company of Tsingshan Group (Tsingshan) to produce 60-inch wide stainless sheet products for sale in North America. Tsingshan purchased its 50% joint venture interest in A&T Stainless in 2018 for $17.5 million, of which $12.0 million has been received by ATI. The A&T Stainless operations include the Company’s previously-idled direct roll and pickle (DRAP) facility in Midland, PA. ATI provides hot-rolling conversion services to A&T Stainless using the AA&S segment’s Hot-Rolling and Processing Facility. ATI accounts for the A&T Stainless joint venture under the equity method of accounting. 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, the Company learned that this exclusion request was denied by the U.S. Department of Commerce. ATI filed new requests on behalf of A&T Stainless for exclusion from the Section 232 tariffs in October 2019. These requests were denied by the U.S. Department of Commerce in the second quarter of 2020. A&T Stainless continues to be subject to the 25% tariff levied on its imports of semi-finished stainless slab products from Indonesia. Results of A&T Stainless have been and will continue to be negatively impacted by these tariffs on imported stainless slab products. On March 31, 2020, ATI announced that A&T Stainless would be idling the DRAP facility in 2020, in an orderly shut down process. Operations at the DRAP facility will continue through early in the third quarter of 2020. A&T Stainless recorded a $4.8 million charge in the second quarter 2020 for contractual termination benefits as a result of the idling decision. ATI’s share of A&T Stainless results were losses of $4.6 million and $8.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and losses of $4.0 million and $7.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which is included within other income/expense, net, on the consolidated statements of operations. These equity method results are reported in the AA&S segment, with the exception of ATI’s $2.4 million share of the charge for termination benefits. During the fourth quarter of 2019, A&T Stainless recorded a $14.2 million impairment charge on its long-lived assets, of which ATI recognized a $7.1 million equity loss for its 50% share. In addition, ATI recorded a $4.3 million reserve during the fourth quarter of 2019 on its net receivables for working capital advances and administrative services from A&T Stainless. No additional impairment charge on the long-lived assets of A&T Stainless or additional reserve on ATI’s receivables from A&T Stainless, based on ATI’s share of the estimated fair value of the joint venture’s net assets, was considered necessary during the first six months of 2020. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, ATI had net receivables for working capital advances and administrative services, including the $4.3 million reserve, from A&T Stainless of $17.6 million and $32.5 million, respectively. For the June 30, 2020 net receivables, $2.0 million was reported in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $15.6 million in other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheet, while for December 31, 2019, $8.3 million was reported in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $24.2 million in other long-term assets. In addition, ATI evaluated the collectability of its remaining $5.5 million receivable from Tsingshan, which is reported in other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheet, and concluded that no impairment or loss in expected value exists at this time. Uniti: ATI has a 50% interest in the industrial titanium joint venture known as Uniti, with the remaining 50% interest held by VSMPO, a Russian producer of titanium, aluminum, and specialty steel products. Uniti is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. ATI’s share of Uniti’s income was $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which is included in the AA&S segment’s operating results, and within other income/expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations.

Revolving Credit Facility The Company has an Asset Based Lending (ABL) Credit Facility, which is collateralized by the accounts receivable and inventory of the Company’s domestic operations. The ABL facility, which matures in September 2024, includes a $500 million revolving credit facility, a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $200 million, and as of June 30, 2020, a $200 million term loan (Term Loan). In June 2020, the Company exercised its right to borrow an additional $100 million under the term loan portion of the ABL, with the same September 2024 maturity date. The Term Loan has an interest rate of 2.0% plus a LIBOR spread and can be prepaid in increments of $25 million if certain minimum liquidity conditions are satisfied. In addition, the Company has the right to request an increase of up to $200 million in the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility for the duration of the ABL. The Company has a $50 million floating-for-fixed interest rate swap which converts a portion of the Term Loan to a 4.21% fixed interest rate. The swap matures in June 2024. 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-based borrowings and between 0.25% and 0.75% for base rate borrowings. The ABL facility contains a financial covenant whereby the Company 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) $87.5 million, calculated as 12.5% of the then applicable maximum advance amount under the revolving credit portion of the ABL and the outstanding Term Loan balance, or (ii) $62.5 million. The Company was in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant at June 30, 2020. Additionally, the Company must demonstrate minimum liquidity, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the ABL facility, during the 90-day period immediately preceding the stated maturity date of the 4.75% Convertible Notes due 2022 and the 5.875% Notes due 2023. As of June 30, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving portion of the ABL facility, and $35.2 million was utilized to support the issuance of letters of credit. There were average revolving credit borrowings of $58 million bearing an average annual interest rate of 2.2% under the ABL facility for the first six months of 2020. There were no average revolving credit borrowings for the first six months of 2019. Convertible Notes In June 2020, the Company issued and sold $285.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the 2025 Convertible Notes). The Company granted the underwriters a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes on the same terms and conditions to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriters exercised a portion of this option on June 30, 2020, and the Company completed the offering and sale of an additional $6.4 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes on July 2, 2020, subsequent to the end of the second quarter 2020. Interest on the 2025 Convertible Notes at the 3.5% cash coupon rate is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 15 and December 15, commencing December 15, 2020. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2025 Convertible Notes to repurchase $203.2 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (the 2022 Convertible Notes), resulting in a $21.5 million debt extinguishment charge, which included a $19.1 million cash make-whole payment related to the early extinguishment of the 2022 Convertible Notes as required by the applicable indenture, and a $2.4 million charge for deferred debt issue costs. The Company also used $19.0 million of the net proceeds of the offering of the 2025 Convertible Notes to pay the cost of capped call transactions, described below, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital in stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheet. The remainder of the net proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes. 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. 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 is required to be separately accounted for as a component of stockholders’ equity. The value of the embedded conversion option was determined to be $50.3 million based on the estimated fair value of comparable senior unsecured debt without the conversion feature, using an income approach of expected present value. The equity component will be amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the term of the 2025 Convertible Notes using the effective interest method, and is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. Offering costs attributable to the debt component totaling $7.3 million are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2025 Convertible Notes, and offering costs attributable to the equity component totaling $1.6 million were netted within stockholders’ equity. As a result, $48.7 million of the 2025 Convertible Notes was recorded in additional paid-in-capital in stockholders’ equity ($50.3 million of the gross $285.0 million, net of $1.6 million of allocated offering costs). Including debt issue cost amortization, the 2025 Convertible Notes will have reported interest expense at an 8.4% rate, higher than the 3.5% cash coupon rate. 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 (collectively, the Counterparties). 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

Derivative Financial Instrument

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging	6 Months Ended

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging	Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging As part of its risk management strategy, the Company, from time-to-time, utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to changes in raw material prices, energy costs, foreign currencies, and interest rates. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company accounts for most of these contracts as hedges. The Company sometimes uses futures and swap contracts to manage exposure to changes in prices for forecasted purchases of raw materials, such as nickel, and natural gas. Under these contracts, which are generally accounted for as cash flow hedges, the price of the item being hedged is fixed at the time that the contract is entered into, and the Company is obligated to make or receive a payment equal to the net change between this fixed price and the market price at the date the contract matures. The majority of ATI’s products are sold utilizing raw material surcharges and index mechanisms. However, as of June 30, 2020, 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 5 million pounds of nickel with hedge dates through 2023. The aggregate notional amount hedged is less than 10% of a single year’s estimated nickel raw material purchase requirements. At June 30, 2020, the outstanding financial derivatives used to hedge the Company’s exposure to energy cost volatility included natural gas cost hedges. At June 30, 2020, the Company hedged approximately 100% of the Company’s forecasted domestic requirements for natural gas for the remainder of 2020 and approximately 60% for 2021. 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 euro. 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 June 30, 2020, the Company had no significant outstanding foreign currency forward contracts. The Company may enter into derivative interest rate contracts to maintain a reasonable balance between fixed- and floating-rate debt. The Company has a $50 million floating-for-fixed interest rate swap which converts a portion of the Term Loan to a 4.21% fixed rate. The swap matures in June 2024. 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 Term Loan borrowings. The ineffectiveness at hedge inception, determined from the fair value of the swap immediately prior to its July 2019 amendment, will be amortized to interest expense over the initial 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 are 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 counterparty 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 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 June 30, 2020. 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 (see Note 16 for further explanation). Assuming market prices remain constant with those at June 30, 2020, a pre-tax loss of $3.1 million is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months. Activity with regard to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was as follows (in millions): Amount of Gain (Loss) Amount of Gain (Loss) Three months ended June 30, Three months ended June 30, Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships 2020 2019 2020 2019 Nickel and other raw material contracts $ 2.0 $ (1.9) $ (1.8) $ (0.2) Natural gas contracts (0.1) (1.9) (1.0) (0.1) Foreign exchange contracts — (0.2) (0.1) — Interest rate swap (0.3) (0.3) (0.3) (0.1) Total $ 1.6 $ (4.3) $ (3.2) $ (0.4) Amount of Gain (Loss) Amount of Gain (Loss) Six months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships 2020 2019 2020 2019 Nickel and other raw material contracts $ (4.2) $ 6.4 $ (2.0) $ (0.6) Natural gas contracts (1.3) (2.3) (2.0) — Foreign exchange contracts (0.1) 0.1 (0.1) (0.3) Interest rate swap (2.2) (0.5) (0.5) (0.2) Total $ (7.8) $ 3.7 $ (4.6) $ (1.1) (a) The gains (losses) reclassified from accumulated OCI into income related to the derivatives, with the exception of the interest rate swap, are presented in cost of sales in the same period or periods in which the hedged item affects earnings. The gains (losses) reclassified from accumulated OCI into income on the interest rate swap are presented in interest expense in the same period as the interest expense on the Term Loan is recognized in earnings. The disclosures of gains or losses presented above for nickel and other raw material contracts and foreign currency contracts do not take into account the anticipated underlying transactions. Since these derivative contracts represent hedges, the net effect of any gain or loss on results of operations may be fully or partially offset.

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The estimated fair value of financial instruments at June 30, 2020 was as follows: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using (In millions) Total Total Quoted Prices in Significant Cash and cash equivalents $ 539.1 $ 539.1 $ 539.1 $ — Derivative financial instruments: Assets 1.5 1.5 — 1.5 Liabilities 8.0 8.0 — 8.0 Debt (a) 1,596.1 1,563.8 1,336.9 226.9 The estimated fair value of financial instruments at December 31, 2019 was as follows: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using (In millions) Total Total Quoted Prices in Significant Cash and cash equivalents $ 490.8 $ 490.8 $ 490.8 $ — Derivative financial instruments: Assets 5.6 5.6 — 5.6 Liabilities 7.5 7.5 — 7.5 Debt (a) 1,411.2 1,676.5 1,552.8 123.7 (a) The total carrying amount for debt for both periods excludes debt issuance costs related to the recognized debt liability which is presented in the consolidated balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. The June 30, 2020 debt carrying value includes $50.3 million recorded in stockholders’ equity for a portion of the 2025 Convertible Notes due to the flexible settlement feature of the notes (see Note 8). 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. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents: Fair value was 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 Company’s publicly traded debt were based on Level 1 information. The fair values of the other short-term and long-term debt were determined using Level 2 information.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Retirement Benefits	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 funds the U.S. pension plans in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). 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. All defined benefit pension and retiree health care plans are closed to new entrants. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the components of pension and other postretirement benefit expense for the Company’s defined benefit plans included the following (in millions): Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits Three months ended June 30, Three months ended June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Service cost - benefits earned during the year $ 3.1 $ 3.1 $ 0.6 $ 0.4 Interest cost on benefits earned in prior years 21.6 26.4 2.7 3.7 Expected return on plan assets (33.6) (32.9) — — Amortization of prior service cost (credit) 0.2 0.1 (1.0) (0.7) Amortization of net actuarial loss 18.6 18.4 2.7 3.4 Total retirement benefit expense $ 9.9 $ 15.1 $ 5.0 $ 6.8 For the six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the components of pension and other postretirement benefit expense for the Company’s defined benefit plans included the following (in millions): Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits Six months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Service cost - benefits earned during the year $ 6.3 $ 6.3 $ 1.1 $ 0.9 Interest cost on benefits earned in prior years 43.1 52.7 5.4 7.4 Expected return on plan assets (67.2) (65.7) — — Amortization of prior service cost (credit) 0.4 0.2 (1.9) (1.4) Amortization of net actuarial loss 37.2 36.8 5.4 6.7 Total retirement benefit expense $ 19.8 $ 30.3 $ 10.0 $ 13.6

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income TaxesThe provision for income taxes for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $92.6 million, or (28.3)%, and $103.4 million, or (35.3)%, respectively, of loss before taxes. In the second quarter 2020, ATI recorded a $99.0 million deferred tax asset valuation allowance on its U.S. federal and state tax attributes. The Company entered into a three-year cumulative loss within the United States as of June 30, 2020, limiting the Company’s ability to utilize future projections when analyzing the need for a valuation allowance therefore limiting sources of income as part of the analysis. The Company continues to be unable to make a reliable estimate of the annual effective tax rate, as significant changes in projected results for the Company’s domestic operations could produce a significant variation in its annual effective tax rate. The tax provision for the second quarter 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $5.8 million, or 6.9%, and $6.6 million, or 6.5%, respectively, of income before taxes, due to deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the United States. The Company has analyzed the impacts of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) that was enacted on March 27, 2020 and has determined that the impact does not result in a material income tax expense or benefit. The Company continues to evaluate the overall changes between the deferred tax asset classifications of interest, pension and net operating losses resulting from the CARES Act.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segments	Business SegmentsEffective January 1, 2020, the Company began operating under two revised business segments: High Performance Materials & Components (HPMC) and Advanced Alloys & Solutions (AA&S). HPMC is now comprised of the Specialty Materials and Forged Products businesses, as well as our ATI Europe distribution operations. The updated HPMC segment intensifies its primary focus on maximizing aero-engine materials and components growth, with more than 80% of its revenue derived from the aerospace and defense markets. The new AA&S segment combines our Specialty Alloys & Components (SAC) business, including the primary titanium operations in Richland, WA and Albany, OR, with ATI’s former Flat Rolled Products (FRP) business segment, which included the FRP business, the 60%-owned STAL joint venture, and the Uniti and A&T Stainless 50%-owned joint ventures that are reported in AA&S segment results under the equity method of accounting. AA&S is focused on delivering high-value flat products primarily to the energy, aerospace, and defense end-markets, which comprise over 50% of its revenue. AA&S was created to align melting technologies with hot-rolling capabilities to produce products with faster flow times and lower costs. Financial results of our aerospace-grade titanium plate products also transferred from HPMC to AA&S effective January 1, 2020. All segment reporting information for 2020 and prior periods below reflect these two revised business segments. The measure of segment operating profit, which is used to analyze the performance and results of the business segments, excludes all effects of LIFO inventory accounting and any related changes in net realizable value inventory reserves which offset the Company’s aggregate net debit LIFO valuation balance, income taxes, corporate expenses, net interest expense, closed operations and other expenses, charges for goodwill impairment (see Note 5), restructuring and other charges (see Note 14), debt extinguishment charges and non-operating gains and losses. Management believes segment operating profit, as defined, provides an appropriate measure of controllable operating results at the business segment level. Following is certain financial information with respect to the Company’s business segments for the periods indicated (in millions): Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Total sales: High Performance Materials & Components $ 316.7 $ 552.8 $ 765.2 $ 1,069.1 Advanced Alloys & Solutions 506.2 612.8 1,093.8 1,185.0 822.9 1,165.6 1,859.0 2,254.1 Intersegment sales: High Performance Materials & Components 16.0 19.7 44.2 39.4 Advanced Alloys & Solutions 36.6 65.5 89.0 129.5 52.6 85.2 133.2 168.9 Sales to external customers: High Performance Materials & Components 300.7 533.1 721.0 1,029.7 Advanced Alloys & Solutions 469.6 547.3 1,004.8 1,055.5 $ 770.3 $ 1,080.4 $ 1,725.8 $ 2,085.2 Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Segment operating profit: High Performance Materials & Components $ 9.2 $ 78.4 $ 66.3 $ 130.1 Advanced Alloys & Solutions 18.1 36.1 42.2 46.1 Total segment operating profit 27.3 114.5 108.5 176.2 LIFO and net realizable value reserves — — — (0.1) Corporate expenses (7.7) (18.0) (20.5) (34.6) Closed operations and other income (expense) 2.4 (7.9) (4.2) (11.0) Restructuring and other charges (See Note 14) (16.7) — (24.7) — Impairment of goodwill (See Note 5) (287.0) — (287.0) — Joint venture restructuring charges (See Note 6) (2.4) — (2.4) — Gain on asset sales, net — 21.6 2.5 21.6 Debt extinguishment charge (See Note 8) (21.5) — (21.5) — Interest expense, net (21.7) (25.9) (43.6) (50.7) (Loss) income before income taxes $ (327.3) $ 84.3 $ (292.9) $ 101.4 Corporate expenses were lower for the second quarter and first six months of 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to lower incentive compensation expense based on expected performance versus targeted metrics, and lower expenses resulting from cost reduction actions. Closed operations and other expenses were lower in the second quarter and first six months of 2020 compared to 2019, as the second quarter of 2020 benefited by $4.3 million from settlements of contract indemnity obligations, along with foreign currency gains and lower legal, environmental, and retirement benefit expense of closed operations, compared to the prior year period. The $2.5 million gain on asset sales, net for the six months ended June 30, 2020 consists of a gain on the sale of certain oil and gas rights (see Note 7). The $21.6 million gain on asset sales, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 consists of a $29.3 million gain on the sale of certain oil and gas rights, partially offset by a $7.7 million loss on the sale of two non-core forging facilities, located in Portland, IN and Lebanon, KY.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring	Restructuring For the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $16.7 million and $24.7 million, respectively, which are presented as restructuring charges in the consolidated statements of operations. These charges were a result of workforce right-sizing actions to better match the Company’s cost structure to expected demand, primarily as a result of economic challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic. For the second quarter of 2020, these charges are comprised of severance obligations for the elimination of approximately 550 positions for both involuntary reductions and voluntary retirement incentive programs related to both salary and hourly employees in the HPMC segment. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, these charges also include severance obligations for the reduction of approximately 90 positions for a voluntary retirement incentive program completed in the first quarter of 2020 for eligible salaried employees, building on the previously announced restructuring program in the fourth quarter of 2019. Reserves for restructuring charges at June 30, 2020 consist of severance costs incurred in the fourth quarter 2019 and the first half of 2020, which are expected to be substantially paid by mid-2021. Restructuring reserves activity is as follows: Severance and Employee Benefit Costs Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 4.5 Additions 24.7 Payments (2.8) Balance at June 30, 2020 $ 26.4

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Company is subject to various domestic and international environmental laws and regulations that govern the discharge of pollutants and disposal of wastes, and which may require that it investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. The Company could incur substantial cleanup costs, fines, and civil or criminal sanctions, third party property damage or personal injury claims as a result of violations or liabilities under these laws or noncompliance with environmental permits required at its facilities. The Company is currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of its current and former sites, as well as third party sites. Environmental liabilities are recorded when the Company’s liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable. In many cases, however, the Company is not able to determine whether it is liable or, if liability is probable, to reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss. Estimates of the Company’s liability remain subject to additional uncertainties, including the nature and extent of site contamination, available remediation alternatives, the extent of corrective actions that may be required, and the number, participation, and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties (PRPs). The Company 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 June 30, 2020, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled approximately $15 million, of which $5 million was included in other current liabilities. The reserve includes estimated probable future costs of $3 million for federal Superfund and comparable state-managed sites; $10 million for formerly owned or operated sites for which the Company has remediation or indemnification obligations; $1 million for owned or controlled sites at which Company operations have been discontinued; and $1 million for sites utilized by the Company in its ongoing operations. The 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. The Company continues to evaluate whether it may be able to recover a portion of past and 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 costs for recorded matters may exceed the Company’s recorded reserves by as much as $16 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 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 Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. 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, 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 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”), are parties 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”) and ATI Titanium entered into in 2006 (the “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, and ATI Titanium filed a counterclaim for breach of contract against USM. In 2018, USM obtained leave of 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.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis Of Accounting	The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allegheny Technologies Incorporated and its subsidiaries. Unless the context requires otherwise, “Allegheny Technologies”, “ATI” and “the Company” refer to Allegheny Technologies Incorporated and its subsidiaries.These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform with fiscal year 2020 presentation. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period. The December 31, 2019 financial information has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted	New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new optional accounting guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (IBORs), and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. The new accounting guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The new accounting guidance applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments generally do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. Management is continuing to evaluate the issue, and presently does not expect a transition away from LIBOR, primarily involving ATI’s domestic credit facility and an interest rate swap contract, to have any significant financial impact to ATI. 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. 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 the requirement. This guidance was adopted by the Company in fiscal year 2020 without an impact on the Company’s 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. This guidance was adopted by the Company in fiscal year 2020 without significant impact to the consolidated financial statements.
Inventory	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out (LIFO), first-in, first-out (FIFO), and average cost methods) or market. Most of the Company’s inventory is valued utilizing the LIFO costing methodology. Inventory of the Company’s non-U.S. operations is valued using average cost or FIFO methods. 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.
Derivatives	As part of its risk management strategy, the Company, from time-to-time, utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to changes in raw material prices, energy costs, foreign currencies, and interest rates. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company accounts for most of these contracts as hedges. The Company sometimes uses futures and swap contracts to manage exposure to changes in prices for forecasted purchases of raw materials, such as nickel, and natural gas. Under these contracts, which are generally accounted for as cash flow hedges, the price of the item being hedged is fixed at the time that the contract is entered into, and the Company is obligated to make or receive a payment equal to the net change between this fixed price and the market price at the date the contract matures. The majority of ATI’s products are sold utilizing raw material surcharges and index mechanisms. However, as of June 30, 2020, 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 5 million pounds of nickel with hedge dates through 2023. The aggregate notional amount hedged is less than 10% of a single year’s estimated nickel raw material purchase requirements. At June 30, 2020, the outstanding financial derivatives used to hedge the Company’s exposure to energy cost volatility included natural gas cost hedges. At June 30, 2020, the Company hedged approximately 100% of the Company’s forecasted domestic requirements for natural gas for the remainder of 2020 and approximately 60% for 2021. 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 euro. 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 June 30, 2020, the Company had no significant outstanding foreign currency forward contracts. The Company may enter into derivative interest rate contracts to maintain a reasonable balance between fixed- and floating-rate debt. The Company has a $50 million floating-for-fixed interest rate swap which converts a portion of the Term Loan to a 4.21% fixed rate. The swap matures in June 2024. 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 Term Loan borrowings. The ineffectiveness at hedge inception, determined from the fair value of the swap immediately prior to its July 2019 amendment, will be amortized to interest expense over the initial 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 are 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.
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 funds the U.S. pension plans in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). 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. All defined benefit pension and retiree health care plans are closed to new entrants.
Commitments And Contingencies	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.
