Pre-tax retirement benefit expense was $33.4 million in the second quarter of
2003, compared to $5.5 million in the comparable year ago period. Essentially
all of this increase is non-cash. On a per share basis, retirement benefit
expense represented $0.26 per share of the $0.32 per share second quarter net
loss.
Results for the six months ended June 30, 2003, were a net loss of $53.1
million, or $0.66 per share, on sales of $970.4 million compared to a net loss
of $18.6 million, or $0.23 per share, on sales of $984.3 million for the
comparable 2002 period. The six months results for 2003 include a $1.3 million,
or $0.02 per share, charge for the cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle. Pre-tax retirement benefit expense for the six months ended June
30, 2003, was $68.2 million, compared to $11.2 million in the same 2002 period.
Essentially all of this increase is non-cash. On a per share basis, retirement
benefit expense represented $0.54 per share of the $0.66 per share net loss for
the six months ended June 30, 2003.
COMMENTS
"Business conditions in most of our end-markets remain challenging," said Jim
Murdy, Allegheny Technologies' president and chief executive officer. "Although
primarily non-cash, retirement benefit expense was again the biggest negative to
earnings in the quarter. Continuing weak demand for most of our specialty
materials combined with higher raw material, energy, and insurance costs also
negatively impacted ATI results in the second quarter.
"Company-wide cost reductions, before the effects of inflation, in the second
quarter of 2003 totaled $28 million, bringing cost reductions to $56 million for
the six months. Our 2003 cost reduction goal is $115 million. Managed working
capital increased by $32 million in the second quarter primarily due to higher
costs of nickel and scrap in our inventories, and higher accounts receivable.
However, managed working capital as a percent of annualized sales improved to
32% compared to 34% at the end of 2002.
"During the second quarter, we decided to arrange a $325 million four-year
senior secured revolving credit facility to provide ATI with an added measure of
prudent financial liquidity. There are no borrowings outstanding under the new
facility, although a portion of its capacity is being utilized for letters of
credit. Cash remained at a healthy level with $66 million on hand at the end of
the second quarter, which is $7 million more than at the end of 2002.
"Demand and pricing remained weak in our Flat-Rolled Products segment. Domestic
consumption of stainless steel sheet and strip fell another 5% through the first
five months of the year based on the latest data available. Demand from most
capital goods markets remained at low levels. Productivity improvement and cost
reduction initiatives continued at an accelerated pace with cost reductions
year-to-date of $29 million in this segment. During the second quarter, we
essentially completed the consolidation of our Precision Rolled Strip(R) service
centers, which is aimed at improving value-added customer service and reducing
costs.
"In our High Performance Metals segment, demand for our nickel-based and premium
titanium alloys from the commercial aerospace market continued to be weak.
However, strong demand for these alloys from government defense and biomedical
markets continued in the second quarter of 2003. Our exotic alloys business had
another strong quarter and continued to benefit from sustained high demand from
government defense and high-energy physics markets.
"Profitability at all three of our Industrial Products segment companies
improved during the first half of 2003. These companies have done an excellent
job reducing costs and managing for cash in a difficult environment. Our
tungsten specialty materials business has significantly improved its cost
structure and is focusing on key niche markets where we have competitive
advantages.
"Even in these tough economic times, we continue to see profitable growth
opportunities. For example, Uniti LLC, our joint venture with Russia-based
VSMPO-AVISMA, began taking orders in early June. Interest from customers in
North America, Asia and Europe has been strong. In addition, STAL, our Precision
Rolled Strip products joint venture in China, continued to grow and prosper to
meet the needs of customers in the rapidly expanding markets in Asia. Despite
the SARS impact on Asian economies during the first half of 2003, STAL's
shipments grew by 26% in the first six months of 2003 compared to the same
period last year. We're convinced China continues to offer profitable growth
opportunities for ATI's specialty materials.
"At this time we see few signs of a recovery in most of our end markets,
although the summer months are normally slow. With or without a recovery, we are
aggressively focused on continuing to improve productivity, accelerate cost
reductions, reduce managed working capital and conserve financial liquidity."
SEGMENT RESULTS
Comparative data by business segments for the second quarter ended June 30,
2003, is contained in the accompanying statements.
FLAT-ROLLED PRODUCTS
SECOND QUARTER OF 2003 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF 2002
Sales declined 6% to $260.2 million primarily due to continued weakness in
capital goods markets. Reduced demand, lower prices, and higher energy and raw
material costs more than offset lower depreciation expense resulting in an
operating loss of $6.1 million for the quarter, compared to an operating profit
of $0.7 million in the comparable 2002 period. As a result of higher natural gas
and electricity prices, energy costs increased by $4.6 million compared to 2002,
net of approximately $1.5 million in gains from natural gas derivatives. Results
for the second quarter of 2003 benefited from $13.7 million in cost reductions,
before the effects of inflation and higher energy costs. Total tons shipped
decreased 6%. Average transaction prices to customers were basically flat due to
higher raw materials surcharges; however, average base selling prices realized
by ATI declined by approximately 5%.
HIGH PERFORMANCE METALS
SECOND QUARTER OF 2003 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 2002
Sales increased 8% to $166.8 million due to strong demand for premium exotic
alloys from government defense and high energy physics markets, partially offset
by reduced demand from commercial aerospace and power generation markets.
Operating profit improved to $11.6 million compared to $8.6 million in the
year-ago period. Results for the second quarter of 2003 benefited from $11.2
million of cost reductions, before the effects of inflation. Pounds shipped of
nickel-based and specialty steel products increased 12%, while pounds shipped of
titanium-based products decreased 12%. Average revenue per pound of nickel-based
and specialty steel products increased 2%, while average revenue per pound of
titanium-based products increased 4%, both due primarily to product mix. Pounds
shipped of exotic alloys increased 14% and average revenue per pound was
17% higher.
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
SECOND QUARTER OF 2003 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF 2002
Sales improved 6% to $62.9 million resulting in an operating profit of $3.1
million for the second quarter of 2003 compared to an operating profit of $2.2
million for the same period of 2002. The improvement in operating results
benefited from continuing cost reductions, which totaled $2.2 million, before
the effects of inflation, and higher sales across all operating companies in the
segment.
RETIREMENT BENEFITS - PENSION, MEDICAL AND LIFE INSURANCE
The severe decline in the equity markets over the past three years, combined
with lower expected returns on benefit plan investments and a lower discount
rate assumption for determining liabilities, resulted in a pre-tax retirement
benefit expense of $33.4 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $5.5
million in the second quarter of 2002. This increase in retirement benefits
expense resulted in a $27.9 million pre-tax, or $0.21 per share after-tax,
reduction in second quarter of 2003 earnings compared to the same period of
2002. The increase in retirement benefit expense in 2003 negatively affected
both cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses in the second quarter
of 2003 compared to the same period last year. For the three months ended June
30, 2003, retirement benefit expense impacted cost of sales by $23.5 million and
selling and administrative expenses by $9.9 million. For the three months ended
June 30, 2002, retirement benefit expense impacted cost of sales by $1.0 million
and selling and administrative expenses by $4.5 million. The majority of these
retirement benefit expenses relate to our Allegheny Ludlum operation.
Approximately $24.9 million of the second quarter 2003 retirement benefit
expense is non-cash. Based upon the final actuarial study for 2003, retirement
benefit costs for the 2003 full year are expected to be $134 million compared to
$21 million for 2002.
The Company is not required to make cash contributions to the defined benefit
pension plan for 2003 and, based upon current actuarial studies, does not expect
to be required to make cash contributions to the defined benefit pension plan
for the next several years.
OTHER COMMENTS
Corporate expenses for the second quarter of 2003 increased to $5.3 million
compared to $4.5 million in the year-ago period primarily due to higher
insurance costs in 2003. These cost
increases offset savings realized at the corporate office associated with
reductions in staffing and related costs.
In June 2003, we entered into a new $325 million four-year senior secured
revolving credit facility. The new facility, which replaced a $250 million
unsecured facility, is secured by Company domestic accounts receivable and
inventory and includes capacity for up to $150 million of letters of credit.
There are no borrowings currently outstanding under the new facility, although a
portion of the letters of credit capacity is being utilized. Second quarter of
2003 interest expense, net of interest income, increased to $8.4 million from
$7.9 million in the year-ago period due to a pretax charge of $1.2 million to
write off the unamortized fees associated with the former unsecured credit
facility.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
At June 30, 2003, cash on hand was $66.2 million, an increase of $6.8 million
from 2002 year-end. Cash flow from operating activities for the first half of
2003 was $17.1 million. This total included the receipt of our 2002 federal
income tax refund of $48.5 million, which was largely offset by a $45.0 million
increase in managed working capital compared to December 31, 2002. The increase
in managed working capital was due to a $40 million increase in accounts
receivable resulting primarily from a higher level of sales in the second
quarter of 2003 compared to the fourth quarter of 2002, and a $24 million
increase in inventory mostly as a result of higher raw material costs. The
increase in raw material costs should largely be recovered through surcharges.
These increases were partially offset by $19 million in higher accounts payable.
In the first half of 2002, cash flow from operations was $170.9 million,
including the receipt of a federal income tax refund of $45.6 million and a
reduction in managed working capital of $111.7 million. Cash used in investing
activities, primarily capital expenditures, was $22.1 million in the first half
of 2003 compared to $23.4 million in the first half of 2002. Cash provided by
financing activities totaled $11.8 million in the first half of 2003 and
included proceeds of $15.3 million on the termination of certain interest rate
swap arrangements, primarily in the first quarter of 2003, proceeds from capital
project financing of $9.2 million less net debt repayments of $3.0 million, and
$9.7 million of dividend payments. Cash used in financing activities in the
comparable 2002 period was $111.0 million and included $78.8 million in debt
reduction and $32.2 million of dividend payments.
Cash on hand declined $45.2 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to
the first quarter of 2003. This decrease in cash resulted primarily from an
increase in managed working capital of $32 million mainly due to higher
inventories as a result of higher raw material costs and higher accounts
receivable as a result of an increase in sales. Other cash items included
semi-annual interest payments of approximately $16 million, up-front costs of
approximately $4 million associated with the new secured credit facility, and a
one-time payment of $5 million concluding the profit sharing dispute for prior
years with the United Steelworkers of America, which we announced in January
2003.
In building the liquidity of the Company, we focus on controlling managed
working capital, which we define as accounts receivable and inventories less
accounts payable. We exclude the effects of the LIFO inventory and other
valuation reserves. At June 30, 2003, managed working capital was 32% of
annualized sales compared to 34% of annualized sales at 2002 year-end.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
On January 1, 2003, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"). Under SFAS 143,
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets are
capitalized and amortized to expense over an asset's useful life. The adoption
of SFAS 143 resulted in an after-tax charge of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per share
in the 2003 first quarter. This charge is reported as a cumulative effect of
change in accounting principle.
