Adjusted earnings per share* for Q3 2024 were $0.60, and ATI adjusted EBITDA* was $185.7 million, or 17.7% of sales. Q3 2024 adjusted results exclude pre-tax charges of $4.3 million consisting primarily of $2.5 million of start-up costs and $1.7 million for transaction related costs. Q2 2024 adjusted results exclude pre-tax charges of $5.4 million consisting of $5.5 million of inventory write-downs related to our ongoing European restructuring and $1.8 million of start-up costs. These pre-tax charges were partially offset by credits of $1.9 million due to lower severance reserves primarily for our ongoing European restructuring. Q3 2023 adjusted results exclude $4.2 million in pre-tax charges related to start-up costs and costs for an unplanned outage, partially offset by restructuring credits.
"Our third quarter results reflected year-over-year growth in sales and EBITDA, yet this rate of growth fell short of our expectations," said Kimberly A. Fields, President and CEO. "We remain confident in both long-term demand and our ability to deliver for our customers and shareholders. We're actively addressing uncertainty across our aerospace customer base due to an industry-wide slowing of the aircraft production ramp, exacerbated by a work stoppage in the supply chain. These impacts, along with unplanned outages and transportation issues related to Hurricane Helene, delayed certain shipments during the third quarter," she said.
"As we proactively address these challenges in demand and production, we are focusing on those areas within our control, targeting improved performance for the remainder of 2024 and beyond," said Fields. "In terms of operating efficiency, we were pleased to see consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin, as a percentage of sales, increase 100 basis points over the second quarter. We also announced the early redemption of our 2025 Convertible Notes and a new $700 million share repurchase authorization, delivering on our commitment to deleverage our balance sheet and return cash to shareholders," she said.
Operating Results by Segment
High Performance Materials & Components (HPMC)
($ millions) Q3 2024 Q2 2024 Q3 2023
Sales $552.4 $562.0 $539.5
Segment EBITDA $123.2 $113.8 $117.2
% of Sales 22.3 % 20.2 % 21.7 %
-- HPMC's third quarter 2024 sales decreased $10 million, or 2%, compared
to the second quarter 2024, primarily due to lower sales to medical and
general industrial markets. Further, lower sales for commercial airframe
products were offset by increased demand for next generation commercial
jet engine products. Overall aerospace & defense sales represented 86%
of total HPMC sales in the third quarter 2024, an increase from 85% in
the second quarter of 2024. Third quarter 2024 sales improved 2%
compared to third quarter 2023, with total aerospace & defense related
sales increasing 4% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to
next generation commercial jet engine demand, which offset a decline in
sales of commercial airframe products.
-- HPMC third quarter 2024 segment EBITDA was $123.2 million, or 22.3% of
sales. Continued growth in sales for next generation commercial jet
engines drove sequential margin growth.
-- Third quarter 2024 and second quarter 2024 results included benefits of
$2.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively, from the recognition of
previously deferred employee retention credits.
Advanced Alloys & Solutions (AA&S)
($ millions) Q3 2024 Q2 2024 Q3 2023
Sales $498.8 $533.3 $486.1
Segment EBITDA $73.6 $87.5 $61.5
% of Sales 14.8 % 16.4 % 12.7 %
-- AA&S third quarter 2024 sales decreased $35 million, or 7%, compared to
the second quarter 2024, due to lower aerospace & defense, primarily for
commercial airframe products, and specialty energy sales. These
decreases were partially offset by higher sales to the electronics end
market. Overall aerospace & defense sales were 36% of total AA&S sales
in the third quarter 2024. Third quarter 2024 sales increased 3%
compared to the third quarter 2023. Higher year-over-year sales to
aerospace & defense, medical, and electronics end markets were partially
offset by lower conventional energy and general industrial markets
sales.
-- AA&S third quarter 2024 segment EBITDA was $73.6 million, or 14.8% of
sales. The sequential decline in margins was primarily due to lower
deliveries of titanium and exotic alloys.
-- Third quarter 2024 and second quarter 2024 results included benefits of
$1.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, from the recognition of
previously deferred employee retention credits.
Corporate Items and Cash
-- Restructuring and other charges:
-- Third quarter 2024: $4.3 million includes pre-tax charges consisting
primarily of $2.5 million of start-up costs and $1.7 million of
transaction related costs.
-- Second quarter 2024: $5.4 million includes pre-tax charges of $5.5
million of inventory write-downs related to our ongoing European
restructuring and $1.8 million of start-up costs. These pre-tax
charges were partially offset by credits of $1.9 million due to
lower severance reserves primarily for our ongoing European
restructuring.
-- Third quarter 2023: $4.2 million includes pre-tax charges of $2.8
million of start-up costs and $1.9 million of costs associated with
an unplanned outage at our Lockport, NY melt facility, partially
offset by $0.5 million pre-tax credit for restructuring charges,
primarily related to lowered severance-related reserves based on
changes in planned operating rates and revised workforce reduction
estimates.
-- Corporate expenses in the third quarter 2024 were $13.4 million,
compared to $19.4 million in the second quarter 2024, and $12.5 million
in the prior year quarter. The decrease in corporate expenses in third
quarter 2024 compared to second quarter 2024, was primarily due to lower
incentive compensation costs.
-- Closed operations and other income/expense was income of $2.3 million in
the third quarter 2024, compared to income of $0.7 million in the second
quarter 2024, and expense of $3.6 million in the prior year quarter. The
third quarter 2024 included a $3.7 million gain from the sale of oil &
gas rights. The second quarter 2024 included a $2.3 million gain from
the sale of our previously idled Houston, PA facility.
-- Third quarter 2024 results include a $28.3 million income tax provision,
or an effective tax rate of 24.6%. Second quarter 2024 results include a
$25.3 million income tax provision, or an effective tax rate of 22.8%.
Third quarter 2023 results include a tax provision of $4.9 million, or
an effective tax rate of 4.9%. The effective tax rate for the third
quarter 2024 increased compared to the second quarter 2024 primarily due
to lower discrete tax benefits. The Company's effective tax rate for
third quarter 2023 was lower than the third quarter 2024 due to the net
valuation allowance position in the U.S.
-- Cash provided by operating activities was $24 million and $26 million
for the third quarter and year-to-date 2024, respectively. Third quarter
2024 managed working capital as a percent of sales was 40.0%, which
increased from 35.5% in the second quarter 2024. Capital expenditures
for the third quarter 2024 were $66 million.
-- During the third quarter of 2024, the Company redeemed for shares of its
common stock the $291.4 million outstanding principal of ATI's 3.5%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 by issuing 18.8 million shares of ATI
stock. In addition, the Company received cash proceeds of $76 million to
settle the capped call associated with these notes.
-- Cash on hand at September 29, 2024 was $407 million, and available
additional liquidity under the asset-based lending (ABL) credit facility
was approximately $551 million. As of September 29, 2024, we had no
outstanding borrowings on the ABL credit facility. ATI has no
significant debt maturities until the fourth quarter 2025.
-- During the third quarter 2024, ATI's Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of $700 million of ATI common stock. In the third quarter
2024, the company repurchased $40 million of common stock at an average
price of $59.37, retiring approximately 0.7 million shares. As of
September 29, 2024, total share repurchase authorization remaining was
$660 million.
Outlook
"The third quarter presented challenges and we expect to continue to see uncertainty with our most critical customers through the remainder of 2024 and first part of 2025. That said, the demand in our end markets remains very strong and our strategy of leading in aerospace & defense and 'aero-like' markets will deliver growth and continued margin expansion," said Fields. "We remain committed to creating lasting shareholder value."

(Unaudited, dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, used in managing the business, may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. For example, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures utilized by management to analyze the performance and result of our business. Further, we believe these measures are useful to investors and industry analysts because these measures are commonly used to analyze companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and liquidity. 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. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release:

Second fiscal quarter 2024 includes pre-tax charges totaling $5.4 million, which include $5.5
million of inventory write-downs related to our ongoing European restructuring and $1.8 million of start-up costs. These pre-tax charges were partially offset by credits of $1.9 million primarily due to lower severance reserves for our ongoing European restructuring. Third quarter 2023 includes pre-tax charges totaling $4.2 million, which include $2.8 million for start-up costs and $1.9 million of costs associated with an unplanned outage
at our Lockport, NY melt facility, partially offset by $0.5 million pre-tax credit for restructuring charges, primarily related to lowered severance-related reserves based on changes in planned operating rates and revised workforce reduction estimates.

Managed Working Capital
As part of managing the performance of our business, we focus on Managed Working Capital, which we define as gross accounts receivable, short-term contract assets and gross inventories, less accounts payable and short-term contract liabilities. We exclude the effects of inventory valuation reserves and reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable when computing this non-GAAP performance measure, which is not intended to replace Working Capital or to be used as a measure of liquidity. We assess Managed Working Capital performance as a percentage of the prior three months annualized sales to evaluate the asset intensity of our business. The September 29, 2024 and June 30, 2024 amounts include management working capital balances that are classified as held for sale.
