Transformational Highlights in 2011

Over the course of the last year, RTI made steady progress towards achieving its strategic transformation. The Company’s Martinsville plant became operational, delivering its first forged product during the fourth quarter, and is now in a position to provide additional capacity to meet the titanium production increases expected for 2012. In addition, the Company completed its acquisition of RTI Advanced Forming, which positions RTI to expand its hot forming business to commercial applications and push titanium components further downstream. Finally, RTI announced the proposed acquisition of Remmele Engineering, which has now received regulatory approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and is expected to close before the end of this quarter. The acquisition of Remmele Engineering will enable RTI to speed up the transformation of the Company’s downstream collaborative engineering and precision machining strategy in the aerospace and defense sectors, as well as provide significant growth opportunities in the medical devices market.

Titanium Group

For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Titanium Group posted operating income of $6.1 million on sales of $81.1 million, including intersegment sales of $37.3 million. During the same period in 2010, this Group had operating income of $0.3 million on sales of $61.5 million, including intersegment sales of $20.2 million. The operating income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was negatively impacted by an $8.3 million accrual associated with the disputed Tronox contract.

Sales in 2011 for the Titanium Group were $312.7 million, including intersegment sales of $152.0 million, versus sales of $230.2 million and intersegment sales of $87.3 million in 2010. The Group had operating income of $29.0 million for the year, compared to operating income of $18.4 million in 2010, which included the receipt of a $15.4 million customer payment with no associated cost of sales.

Mill product shipments for the fourth quarter were 4.0 million pounds at an average realized price of $19.11 per pound, compared to mill product shipments of 3.1 million pounds in the fourth quarter of 2010 at an average realized price of $18.67 per pound. Mill product shipments for the full year were 14.7 million pounds at an average realized price of $19.54 per pound, compared to mill product shipments of 10.5 million pounds in 2010 at an average realized price of $18.81 per pound.

With respect to raw materials, RTI strives to manage volatility in the sponge pricing market. As previously announced, not only does the Group maintain a strategic raw material reserve and a long-term supply agreement that runs through 2016, but it will also begin drawing upon two long-term supply contracts that last through 2021. These two contracts, which contain minimum and maximum volume provisions and long-term pricing, are structured to mitigate the impact of price increases associated with titanium sponge feedstock.

Fabrication Group

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Fabrication Group posted an operating loss of $3.2 million on net sales of $40.0 million. For the same period in 2010, this Group had operating income of $1.5 million on net sales of $34.4 million. Delays from third parties in the delivery of material related to projects for the Group’s energy market customers resulted in lower than expected operating income.

In 2011, net sales for the Fabrication Group were $150.5 million versus $134.4 million in 2010. This Group had an operating loss of $11.2 million for the year, compared to an operating loss of $7.6 million in 2010. The increase in the operating loss year-over-year was driven primarily by the Group’s participation in the containment of the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 and the continued low deliveries of titanium seat tracks on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Distribution Group

For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Distribution Group posted operating income of $1.7 million on net sales of $58.2 million. For the same period in 2010, the Group had operating income of $0.8 million on net sales of $39.0 million. The Group’s results reflect higher shipments into the commercial aerospace and lower shipments into defense-related markets.

For 2011, net sales for the Distribution Group were $218.4 million, versus $154.5 million in 2010. The Group had operating income of $10.0 million for the year, compared to operating income of $3.3 million in 2010.

Outlook

“The activities for the quarter and the full-year are indicative of RTI’s ongoing transformation from a supplier of titanium mill products to a fully-integrated end-to-end supplier of advanced titanium components to our customers across the entire supply chain,” commented Dawne S. Hickton, Vice Chair, President, and CEO of RTI. “For 2012, we expect to experience continued growth across all of our business segments, including the Fabrication Group as it realizes the full-year contribution from RTI Advanced Forming and the partial-year impact from the pending acquisition of Remmele Engineering.

“Looking ahead, these acquisitions will position RTI to bid on a much broader range of downstream opportunities and will help drive our overall performance for existing as well as new customers,” Ms. Hickton added. “In addition, we expect the upward trend in the titanium mill product cycle to continue throughout the year, supported by the recent announcements of production increases by the major commercial aircraft manufacturers.”

Assuming that the acquisition of Remmele Engineering will close by the end of this quarter, RTI would expect consolidated net sales to exceed $700.0 million for 2012. Total mill product shipments are expected to range between 15.5 and 16.0 million pounds. Operating income for the year is expected to range between $45.0 and $50.0 million, prior to any purchase accounting adjustments associated with the Remmele acquisition. Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $65.0 to $75.0 million for the year.
