RTI INTERNATIONAL METALS, INC.

SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
RTI International Metals, Inc. (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RTI International
Metals, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated. The financial information presented reflects
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
the interim periods presented. The financial statements should be read in
conjunction with accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial
statements included in the Company's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The
results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the year.

NOTE 2--ORGANIZATION

RTI International Metals, Inc. is a leading U.S. producer of titanium mill
products and fabricated metal parts for the global market. The Company conducts
business in two segments: the Titanium Group and the Fabrication and
Distribution Group. The Titanium Group melts and produces a complete range of
titanium mill products, which are further processed by its customers for use in
a variety of commercial, aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. The
Fabrication and Distribution Group is comprised of companies that process and
distribute titanium and other specialty metals. Its products, many of which are
engineered parts and assemblies, serve aerospace, oil and gas, power generation,
and chemical process industries, as well as a number of other industrial and
consumer markets.

On September 30, 1998, the shareholders of the Company's now wholly-owned
subsidiary RMI Titanium Company ("RMI") approved a proposal to reorganize into a
holding company structure (the "1998 Reorganization"). Pursuant to this
reorganization, the Company became the parent company of RMI, and shares of RMI
common stock were automatically exchanged on a one-for-one (1:1) basis for
shares of RTI. Shares of RTI began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on
October 1, 1998.

The Company is a successor to entities that have been operating in the
titanium industry since 1951. In 1990, USX Corporation ("USX") and Quantum
Chemical Corporation ("Quantum") transferred their entire ownership interest in
RMI's immediate predecessor, RMI Company, an Ohio general partnership, to the
Company in exchange for shares of the Company's common stock (the "1990
Reorganization"). Quantum sold its shares of common stock to the public while
USX retained ownership of its shares. USX terminated its ownership interest in
RTI in 2000.

NOTE 3--STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD PLANS

2004 STOCK PLAN

The 2004 Stock Plan, which was approved by a vote of the Company's
shareholders at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, replaced the 1995 Stock
Plan. The Plan permits the grant of any or all of the following types of awards
in any combination: a) stock options; b) stock appreciation rights; and c)
restricted stock. The plan does not permit the granting of options with exercise
prices that are less than the market value on the date the options are granted.
A committee appointed by the Board of Directors administers the Plan, determines
the type or types of grants to be made under the Plan and sets forth in each
such Grant the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to it, including, in
certain cases, provisions relating to a possible change in control of the
Company. The Plan has a 10 year term and with the exception of certain carry
over provisions of the 1995 Plan the maximum number of shares available for
issuance is 2,500,000.

During the first quarter of 2004, 184,000 option shares were granted at an
exercise price of $14.96 under the 1995 Plan. All option exercise prices were
equal to the common stock's fair market value on the date of the

6


grant. Options are for a term of ten years from the date of the grant, and vest
ratably over the three-year period beginning with the date of the grant. 184,000
of the option shares granted in 2004 were outstanding at June 30, 2004.

During the first quarter of 2004, 69,250 shares of restricted stock were
granted under the 1995 Stock Plan. Compensation expense equal to the fair market
value on the date of the grant is recognized ratably over the five-year vesting
period.

During the second quarter of 2004, 18,179 shares of restricted stock were
granted to outside Directors under the 2004 Stock Plan. Compensation expense
equal to the fair market value on the date of the grant is recognized ratably
over the one-year vesting period.

As permitted by the provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (SFAS No. 123), the Company has elected to measure stock-based
compensation under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB No. 25), and to adopt the
disclosure-only alternative described in SFAS No. 123. For restricted stock
awards, the Company records deferred stock-based compensation based on the fair
market value of common stock on the date of the award. Such deferred stock-based
compensation is amortized over the vesting period of each individual award.

If compensation expense for the Company's stock options granted had been
determined based on the fair value at the grant date for the awards in
accordance with SFAS No. 123, the effect on the Company's net income and
earnings per share for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003
would have been as follows (dollars in thousands):



QUARTER ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED

As reported............................................... $0.02 $ 0.05 $ 0.15 $ 0.26
Pro forma................................................. $0.02 $ 0.04 $ 0.15 $ 0.24


Included in the Company's income for the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and
2003 is stock-based compensation expense amounting to $0.2 million. For the six
months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, stock-based compensation expense was $0.3
million and $0.4 million, respectively.

NOTE 4--INCOME TAXES

In the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded an income tax
expense of $.7 million, or 18% of pre-tax income compared to an expense of $3.3
million, or 38% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The cumulative effective
tax rate for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 was 18%
and 38%, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rate at June 30, 2004
of 18% was less than the federal statutory rate of 35% due to differences
between the U.S. and foreign statutory tax rates and the mix of anticipated
income from such sources. The estimated annual effective tax rate at June 30,
2003 exceeded the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of state
income taxes.

NOTE 5--EARNINGS PER SHARE

A reconciliation of the income and weighted average number of outstanding
common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 are as follows (in
thousands except number of shares and per share amounts):

====== ========== ===== ====== ========== =====


605,541 and 1,165,688 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of
employee stock options have been excluded from the calculation of diluted
earnings per share for the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively;
and 451,360 and 1,131,254 have been excluded from the calculation of diluted
earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively, because the exercise price of the options exceeded the weighted
average market price of the Company's common stock during those periods.

NOTE 6--INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of (dollars in thousands):



JUNE 30, 2004 DECEMBER 31, 2003

Raw material and supplies................................... $ 44,148 $ 49,248

-------- --------
Inventories, at LIFO cost................................. $140,313 $153,497
======== ========


NOTE 7--BILLINGS IN EXCESS OF COSTS AND ESTIMATED REVENUES

The Company reported a liability for billings in excess of costs and
estimated revenues of $5.5 million as of June 30, 2004 and $7.5 million as of
December 31, 2003. These amounts primarily represent payments, received in
advance from energy market and aerospace customers and a European distribution
customer on long-term orders, which the Company has not recognized as revenues.
The decrease reflects the Company fulfilling obligations and recognizing revenue
related to advance payments.

NOTE 8--OTHER INCOME

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the components
of other operating income and other income are as follows (dollars in millions):

===== ===== ===== =====


Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation.
- ---------------

(1) This amount is the income resulting from the sale leaseback at one of the
Company's facilities.

(2) These gains were financial settlements from Boeing Airplane Group relating
to Boeing's failure to meet minimum order requirements under terms of a
long-term agreement between RTI and Boeing. Boeing has satisfied the final
claim under this agreement.

(3) This amount represents a $1.0 million gain on the sale of one of the
Company's Ashtabula, Ohio facilities that in recent years had only been used
for storage of raw materials.

NOTE 9--LONG TERM DEBT

The Company amended its existing $100 million, three-year credit agreement
on June 4, 2004. The amendment provides for $90 million of standby credit
through May 31, 2008. The Company has the option to increase the available
credit to $100 million without prior bank group approval. The terms and
conditions of the amended facility remain unchanged with the exception that the
tangible net worth covenant in the replaced facility was eliminated.

Under the terms of the amended facility, the Company, at its option, will
be able to borrow at (a) a base rate (which is the higher of PNC Bank's prime
rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% per annum), or (b) LIBOR plus
a spread (ranging from 1.0% to 2.25%) determined by the ratio of the Company's
consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization. The credit agreement contains restrictions, among
others, on the minimum cash flow required, and the maximum leverage ratio
permitted.

The existing facility was to expire on May 31, 2005. At June 30, 2004 the
Company had $4.4 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the
facility.

NOTE 10--PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company provides defined benefit pension plans for certain of its
salaried and represented workforce. Benefits for its salaried participants are
generally based on participant's years of service and compensation. Benefits for
represented pension participants are generally determined based on an amount for
years of service. Other Company employees participate in 401(k) plans whereby
the Company may provide a match of employee contributions. These plans are
generally not significant to the Company. The policy of the Company with respect
to its defined benefit plans is to contribute at least the minimum amounts
required by applicable laws and regulations.

The Company froze benefits under one of its defined benefit plans, The
TRADCO Pension Plan, effective June 30, 2004. The plan will continue to operate,
to pay benefits and to receive contributions as to all benefits

9


earned through June 30, 2004. The plan was replaced with the existing RTI
International Metals, Inc., Employee Savings and Investment (401k) Plan.

The curtailment effect of the TRADCO Pension Plan ("the Plan") resulted in
a charge to income of $37,000. The curtailment of the Plan will result in a
second half 2004 reduction to periodic pension expense of $50,000.

The cost of the Company's retiree health care plans (Other Postretirement
Benefits) is capped at predetermined out-of-pocket spending limits. Retiree
health care is available to participants in the defined benefit pension plans.
Benefit payments are made from company assets. Other Postretirement Benefits are
not funded.

On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2003 ("the Act") was enacted in the U. S. The Act
introduced a prescription drug benefit under Medicare as well as a federal
subsidy to sponsors of retiree health benefit plans that provide a benefit that
is "actuarially equivalent" to prescription benefits provided under the Act.

On May 19, 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position 106-2, "Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement
and Modernization Act of 2003" which provides guidance on the accounting for the
effects of the Act. FASB Staff Position 106-2 is effective for the first interim
or annual period beginning after June 15, 2004.

As discussed, the Company's retiree health care plans are capped at
predetermined out-of-pocket spending limits. The out-of-pocket limits provide
for both retiree medical and prescription drug benefits under one limit without
specification of the amount for medical versus drug benefit. In order for the
Company to receive a subsidy under the act the prescription drug benefits
provided by the Company must be actuarially equivalent to the Act. The Company
has not yet determined whether its prescription drug benefits are actuarially
equivalent. The Company expects that additional guidance will be issued
regarding the act in order to determine actuarial equivalency.

In the event the Company does not provide actuarially equivalent
prescription drug benefits the Company will evaluate whether an opt-out
assumption is required whereby retirees under the Company's plan elect to opt
out of the plan to participate in the benefits of the Act. Should an opt-out
assumption be appropriate or the Company qualifies for the federal subsidy an
actuarial gain will be recorded.

The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the Act's
benefits and subsidies on the Company's accumulated benefit obligation for other
postretirement benefits. The Company also has not determined what changes would
be required to the current benefits provided to allow the Company to qualify for
the federal subsidy. As a result, the financial impact of the act, if any,
cannot be reasonably estimated.

The effect of the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization
Act of 2003 has not been reflected in the Accumulated Projected Benefit
Obligation ("APBO").

RTI International Metals also has a supplemental pension Program
("Program") for certain key employees. The Program is unfunded. The second
quarter net periodic benefit cost related to the Program was $128,983 for 2004
and $106,277 for 2003 and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was
$259, 966 and $212,554, respectively.

NOTE 11--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In connection with the 1990 Reorganization, the Company agreed to indemnify
USX and Quantum against liabilities related to their ownership of RMI and its
immediate predecessor, Reactive Metals, Inc., which was formed by USX and
Quantum in 1964.

From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation relating to claims
arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. In our opinion,
the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from these matters will have no
significant effect on our consolidated financial statements. Given the critical
nature of many of the aerospace end uses for the Company's products, including
specifically their use in critical rotating parts of gas turbine engines, the
Company maintains aircraft products liability insurance of $250 million, which
includes grounding liability.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations as well as
various health and safety laws and regulations that are subject to frequent
modifications and revisions. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the
Company spent approximately $0.8 million for environmental remediation,
compliance, and related services. While the costs of compliance for these
matters have not had a material adverse impact on the Company in the past, it is
impossible to accurately predict the ultimate effect these changing laws and
regulations may have on the Company in the future. The Company continues to
evaluate its obligations for environmental related costs on a quarterly basis
and makes adjustments in accordance with provisions of Statement of Position No.
96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities".

The Company is involved in investigative or cleanup projects under federal
or state environmental laws at a number of waste disposal sites, including the
Fields Brook Superfund Site and the Ashtabula River Area of Concern. Given the
status of the proceedings with respect to these sites, ultimate investigative
and remediation costs cannot presently be accurately predicted, but could, in
the aggregate be material. Based on the information available regarding the
current ranges of estimated remediation costs at currently active sites, and
what the Company believes will be its ultimate share of such costs, provisions
for environmental-related costs have been recorded.

Given the status of the proceedings at certain sites, and the evolving
nature of environmental laws, regulations, and remediation techniques, the
Company's ultimate obligation for investigative and remediation

11


costs cannot be predicted. It is the Company's policy to recognize environmental
costs in its financial statements when an obligation becomes probable and a
reasonable estimate of exposure can be determined.

At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the amount accrued for future
environmental-related costs was $1.7 million. Of the total amount accrued at
June 30, 2004, $0.5 million is expected to be paid out within one year and is
included in the other accrued liabilities line of the balance sheet. The
remaining $1.2 million is recorded in other non-current liabilities.

Based on available information, RMI believes that its share of potential
environmental-related costs, before expected contributions from third parties,
is in a range from $2.6 to $7.9 million in the aggregate. The amount accrued is
net of expected contributions from third parties in a range from $0.2 to $2.3
million, which the Company believes are probable. These third parties include
prior owners of RMI property and prior customers of RMI, that have agreed to
partially reimburse the Company for certain environmental-related costs. The
Company has been receiving contributions from such third parties for a number of
years as partial reimbursement for costs incurred by the Company.

As these proceedings continue toward final resolution, amounts in excess of
those already provided may be necessary to discharge the Company from its
obligations for these sites.

Former Ashtabula Extrusion Plant

The Company's former extrusion plant in Ashtabula, Ohio was used to extrude
depleted uranium under a contract with the DOE from 1962 through 1990. In
accordance with that agreement, the DOE retained responsibility for the cleanup
of the facility when the facility was no longer needed for processing government
material. Processing of uranium ceased in 1990, and in 1993 RMI was chosen as
the prime contractor for the remediation and restoration of the site by the DOE.
Since then, contaminated buildings have been removed and approximately
two-thirds of the site has been free released by the Ohio Department of Health,
to RMI, at DOE expense.

In December, 2003, in accordance with the terms of the contract for
remediation, the Department of Energy terminated the contract "for convenience."
Remaining soil removal is expected to take approximately 18-24 months. As
license holder and owner of the site, RMI is responsible to the state of Ohio
for complying with soil and water regulations. However, remaining cleanup cost
is expected to be borne by the DOE in accordance with their contractual
obligation.

Gain Contingency

As part of Boeing Commercial Airplane Group's long-term supply agreement
with the Company, Boeing was required to order a minimum of 3.25 million pounds
of titanium in each of the five years beginning in 1999. They failed to do so
for 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003, ordering 0.9 million pounds, 1.1 million
pounds, 0.9 million pounds, 0.5 million pounds, and 0.4 million pounds,
respectively.

The Company made claim against Boeing in accordance with the provisions of
the long-term contract for each of the years in which the minimum was not
achieved. Revenue under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 5 ("SFAS No. 5"), "Accounting for Contingencies" was deemed not
realized until Boeing settled the claims. Accordingly, the claims were treated
as a gain contingency dependent upon realization.

As a result of the application of SFAS No. 5 as to gain contingencies, the
Company recorded other income of approximately $6 million in 2000 and 2001, and
approximately $7 million in 2002, for each of the preceding years claims upon
receipt of the cash. The Company recognized approximately $8 million in the
first quarter of 2003 when Boeing satisfied the claim for 2002. In all years,
revenue recognized from these cash receipts was presented as Other income in the
financial statements. The Company recognized other income of approximately $9
million in the first quarter 2004 when Boeing satisfied the final claim under
this contract for amounts not taken in 2003.

12


Purchase Commitments

The Company has purchase commitments for materials, supplies, and machinery
and equipment as part of the ordinary course of business. A few of these
commitments extend beyond one year. The Company believes these commitments are
not at prices in excess of current market.

Other

The Company is also the subject of, or a party to, a number of other
pending or threatened legal actions involving a variety of matters incidental to
its business.

The ultimate resolution of these foregoing contingencies could,
individually or in the aggregate, be material to the consolidated financial
statements. However, management believes that the Company will remain a viable
and competitive enterprise even though it is possible that these matters could
be resolved unfavorably.

NOTE 12--TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

In accordance with the purchase agreement of Reamet S.A. located in
Villette, France from December 2000, the Company was obligated to acquire a
residence located on the previously acquired land. The owner of the residence
and his immediate family have been involved in the management of the business
before and since the acquisition. The residence was acquired for $581,000 (the
fair value as appraised) including closing costs in February 2004. The Company
had previously disclosed that the residence was worth approximately $500,000
without closing costs.

NOTE 13--SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company's reportable operating segments are the Titanium Group and the
Fabrication and Distribution Group.

The Titanium Group manufactures and sells a wide range of titanium mill
products to a customer base consisting primarily of manufacturing and
fabrication companies in the aerospace and nonaerospace markets. Titanium mill
products consist of basic mill shapes such as ingot, slab, bloom, billet, bar,
plate and sheet. Titanium mill products are sold primarily to customers such as
metal fabricators, forge shops and, to a lesser extent, metal distribution
companies. Titanium mill products are usually raw or starting material for these
customers, who then form, fabricate or further process mill products into
finished or semi-finished components or parts. The Titanium Group included the
activities related to the clean up and remediation of a former titanium
extrusion facility operated by the Company under a contract from the U.S.
Department of Energy.

The Fabrication and Distribution Group is engaged primarily in the
fabrication of titanium, specialty metals and steel products, including pipe and
engineered tubular products, for use in the oil and gas and geo-thermal energy
industries; hot and superplastically formed parts; cut, forged, extruded and
rolled shapes; and commercially pure titanium strip and welded tube for
aerospace and nonaerospace applications. This segment also provides warehousing,
distribution, finishing, cut-to-size and just-in-time delivery services of
titanium, steel and other metal products.

Intersegment sales are accounted for at prices which are generally
established by reference to similar transactions with unaffiliated customers.
Reportable segments are measured based on segment operating income after an
allocation of certain corporate items such as general corporate overhead and
expenses.

NOTE 14--NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable
Interest entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51," (FIN 46) which addresses
consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities that do not
have sufficient equity investment to permit the entity to finance its activities
without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or whose
equity investors lack characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The
Interpretation provides guidance related to identifying variable interest
entities and determining whether such entities should be consolidated. It also
provides guidance related to the initial and subsequent measurement of assets,
liabilities and noncontrolling interests in newly consolidated variable interest
entities and requires disclosures for both the primary beneficiary of a variable
interest entity and other beneficiaries of the entity. FIN 46 must be applied to
all entities subject to this Interpretation as of March 31, 2004. However, prior
to the required application of this Interpretation, FIN 46 must be applied to
those entities that are considered to be special-purpose entities as of December
31, 2003. There was no financial statement impact from the application at March
31, 2004.

In May 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position FSP No. 106-2, "Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement
and Modernization Act of 2003," to provide guidance on accounting for the
effects of the Act. The Staff Position requires treating the effect of the
employer subsidy on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (APBO) as
an actuarial gain. The effect of the subsidy is to be reflected in the estimate
of service cost in measuring the cost of benefits attributable to current
service. The effects of plan amendments adopted subsequent to the Act to qualify
plans

14


as actuarially equivalent are to be treated as actuarial gains if the net effect
of the amendments reduces the APBO. The net effect on the APBO of any plan
amendments that (a) reduced benefits under the plan and thus disqualify the
benefits as actuarially equivalent and (b) eliminate the subsidy are to be
accounted for as prior service costs.

Since the Company has had an established cap on its postretirement medical
benefits, any reductions in postretirement benefit costs resulting from the Act
are not expected to be material although the Company will evaluate the effect of
the Act during the two year transitional period provided under the Act. Specific
authoritative guidance on the accounting for federal subsidy is pending and that
guidance, when issued could require plan sponsors to change previously reported
information. Additionally, regulations under the act have not been issued.

In accordance with FSP 106-2, the Company has elected to defer accounting
for the effect of the act. Accordingly, the benefit obligation and net periodic
benefit cost do not reflect any potential effects of the Act.

NOTE 15--SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 15, 2004 all of the shareholders of Galt Alloys, Inc., ("Galt") an
Ohio corporation were provided cash consideration of $825.55 per share under a
merger agreement dated July 15, 2004. The merger agreement by and between RMI
Titanium Company, ("RMI") an Ohio corporation and Galt provided for the
surviving corporation, RMI to acquire all of the 26,770 outstanding shares.
Prior to the merger RMI owned 90% of the outstanding shares and an unrelated
entity owned 10%. Concurrent with the merger agreement Galt Alloys, Inc., shares
were cancelled and retired and Galt ceased to exist as a separate corporate
entity, and its assets and liabilities are now owned 100% by RMI Titanium
Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION

The following discussion should be read in connection with the information
contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements. The following information contains "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995, and are subject to the safe harbor created by that Act. Such
forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of words like
"expects," "anticipates," "intends," "projects," or other words of similar
meaning. Forward-looking statements are based on expectations and assumptions
regarding future events. In addition to factors discussed throughout this
report, the following factors and risks should also be considered, including,
without limitation, statements regarding the future availability and prices of
raw materials, competition in the titanium industry, demand for the Company's
products, the historic cyclicality of the titanium and aerospace industries,
increased defense spending, the success of new market development, long-term
supply agreements, the outcome of proposed "Buy American" legislation, global
economic conditions, the Company's order backlog and the conversion of that
backlog into revenue, the outcome of ongoing labor contract negotiations and the
impact of the work stoppage that commenced on October 25, 2003 at the Company's
Niles, Ohio facility, the long-term impact of the events of September 11, and
the continuing war on terrorism, and other statements contained herein that are
not historical facts. Because such forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. These and other risk factors are set forth below in the "Outlook"
section, as well as in the Company's other filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") over the last 12 months, copies of which are
available from the SEC or may be obtained upon request from the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003

Net Sales

Net sales increased to $55.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
2004 compared to net sales of $49.1 million in the corresponding 2003 period.
Sales for the Company's Titanium Group amounted to $35.0 million, including
intercompany sales of $22.1 million, in the three months ended June 30, 2004
compared to $40.8 million, including intercompany sales of $27.0 million, in the
same period of 2003.
15


Titanium Group net sales decreased as a result of reduced revenue
generation on inter-company sales of flat-rolled products. Shipments of Titanium
Group mill product in the quarter was .1 million pounds less than the year ago
quarter. Revenue was also reduced from the year ago quarter from the since
terminated contract that RMI had with the DOE. In December, 2003 the DOE
terminated the contract with RMI. Since December, 2003 RMI has continued to
perform some soil removal services but at considerably reduced levels from the
year ago period.

Sales for the Company's Fabrication and Distribution Group ("F&D") amounted
to $51.7 million, including inter-company sales of $9.0 million, in the three
months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $38.4 million, including inter-company
sales of $3.1 million, in the same period of 2003. The 35% increase in revenue
was a result of increased revenue from extrusion markets, increased revenue on
sheet and plate marketed through F&D, increased shipments of commercially pure
product and higher sales in energy markets. Sales were increased generally on
higher demand from aircraft related markets and energy markets primarily related
to work-over and repair projects.

Shipments of all mill products from both Groups in the three months ended
June 30, 2004 amounted to 1.5 million pounds. Shipments in the three months
ended June 30, 2003 totaled 1.4 million pounds. Average realized prices on all
mill products for the three months ended June 30, 2004 equaled $14.02 per pound
compared to $16.60 in the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

Gross Profit

Gross profit amounted to $8.1 million, or 14.5% of sales for the three
months ended June 30, 2004 compared to a gross profit of $8.5 million or 17.4%
for the comparable 2003 period. Gross margin was reduced as a result of reduced
revenue of 14% in the Titanium segment partially offset by reduced costs
associated with the labor stoppage. Increased gross margins in extrusion
markets, sheet and plate and energy provided a partial offset to the Titanium
segments decrease in gross margins.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $8.2 million or
14.8% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $7.6
million or 15.5% of sales for the same period in 2003. The increase in SG&A was
primarily due to costs associated with the implementation of section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 of approximately $0.4 million and increased pension
and OPEB costs of approximately $0.2 million.

Research, Technical and Product Development Expenses

Research, technical and product development expenses amounted to $0.3
million in 2004, compared to $0.3 million in 2003.

Other Operating Income

Other operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and June
30, 2003 amounted to $.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Other Operating
Income was the result of income on a sale and leaseback at one of the Company's
facilities in the second quarter of 2003. The deferred profit from this sale is
being amortized over the five year lease term.

Operating Income (Loss)

An operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2004 amounted to $0.4
million, or (0.7%) of sales compared to operating income of $1.6 million, or
3.3% of sales, in the same period of 2003. The operating loss was a result of
reduced margins in the Titanium Segment primarily as a result of reduced
revenue, increased costs associated with the terminated DOE contract and
implementation costs of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

16


Other Income

Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003
amounted to $.1 and $.2 million, respectively.

Interest Income (Expense)

Interest income net of expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004
amounted to $24 thousand compared to net interest expense of $0.2 million for
the period ending June 30, 2003. Interest income for the 3 months ended June 30,
2004 was a result of earnings on cash accumulation during the quarter offset by
bank fees. Interest expense for the comparable period a year ago was the result
of interest on cash offset by bank fees on the Company's unused credit facility.
The Company had no bank debt at June 30, 2004 and 2003.

Income Taxes

In the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded an income tax
credit of ($0.7) million compared to a $0.6 million expense recorded in the same
period in 2003. The credit of ($0.7) million was due to the effect of a change
in estimate of lower pre-tax income for the year 2004 and the relationship
between domestic and foreign forecasted pre-tax results. The mix of domestic and
foreign forecasted pre-tax income and differences between U.S. and foreign
statutory rates resulted in an effective tax rate of 18% at June 30, 2004, which
is less than the federal statutory rate of 35%. The effective tax rate in the
second quarter of 2003 was 38% which was higher than the statutory rate of 35%
due to the net impact of state income taxes.

To the extent that the actual annual pre-tax results for domestic and
foreign income differ from the forecasted estimates applied at June 30, 2004,
the actual provision for income taxes recognized could be materially different
from the annual tax provision as of the end of the second quarter.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 amounted to $0.4
million or less than 1% of sales compared to $1.0 million or 2.1% of sales in
the comparable period in 2003. The reduction in net income was a result of a
decrease in Titanium Segment net income caused by a reduction in revenue from
mill product shipments and the terminated contract with the DOE. SG&A was
increased as a result of the same DOE contract and compliance with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Partially offsetting the decreased revenues and increased
SG&A costs was a reduction in the effective tax rate.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003

Net Sales

Net sales increased to $109.7 million for the six months ended June 30,
2004 compared to net sales of $107.6 million in the corresponding 2003 period.
Sales for the Company's Titanium Group amounted to $72.7 million, including
intercompany sales of $46.7 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2004
compared to $73.5 million, including intercompany sales of $45.5 million, in the
same period of 2003. Titanium Group sales remained steady with a slight decrease
due to flat-rolled products. Sales for the Company's Fabrication and
Distribution Group amounted to $96.8 million, including intercompany sales of
$13.1 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $84.4 million,
including intercompany sales of $4.9 million, in the same period of 2003. This
increase primarily reflects increased revenue from the extrusion markets,
increased revenue on sheet and plate marketed through F&D, increased shipments
of commercially pure product and higher sales in energy markets.

Gross Profit

Gross profit amounted to $11.8 million, or 10.8% of sales for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 compared to a gross profit of $14.9 million or 13.9%
for the comparable 2003 period. Gross profit was lower than the year ago period
as a result of reduced sales in the Company's energy markets and as a result of
the

17


DOE contract termination. Reduced margins in the Titanium Group on mill products
was partially offset by increased margins in the Fabrication and Distribution
Groups sales in extrusion and flat rolled products.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $16.8 million or
15.3% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $15.3 million
or 14.2% of sales for the same period in 2003. The increase was due to costs
associated with the implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 of
approximately $1.0 million and increased pension expense of approximately $0.4
million.

Research, Technical and Product Development Expenses

Research, technical and product development expenses amounted to $0.6 and
$0.7 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Other Operating Income

Other operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30,
2003 amounted to $.1 million and $1 million, respectively. Included in this item
is the sale leaseback income from one of the Company's facilities in the second
quarter of 2003. The deferred profit from this sale is being amortized over the
five year lease term.

Operating Income (Loss)

An operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2004 amounted to $5.5
million, or (5.0)% of sales compared to operating loss of $20 thousand, or (0.)%
of sales, in the same period of 2003. This decline consists of a decrease in
operating income from the Titanium Group, from $2.1 million of loss in 2003 to a
loss of $6.3 million in 2003, equal to $4.2 million primarily due to a decrease
in mill product shipments.

Other Income

Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003
amounted to $.2 and $9 million, respectively. Other income reflects the receipt
of liquidated damages from the Boeing Airplane Group of $9.1 million and $8.4
million in 2004 and 2003 respectively.

Interest Income (Expense)

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003
amounted to $21 thousand and compared to interest expense (net) of $.4 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Interest income for six months ended
June 30, 2004 was a result of earnings on cash accumulation during the period
offset by bank fees. Interest expense for the comparable period of 2003 was
primarily the result of fees associated with the unused capacity on the
Company's credit facility. The Company had no bank debt at June 30, 2004 and
2003.

Income Taxes

In the six months ended June 30, 2004 the Company recorded an income tax
expense of $0.7 million compared to a $3.3 million expense recorded in the same
period in 2003. The expense of $0.7 million was due to the effect of a change in
estimate of lower pre-tax income for the year 2004 and the relationship between
domestic and foreign forecasted pre-tax results. The mix of domestic and foreign
forecasted pre-tax income and differences between U.S. and foreign statutory
rates resulted in an effective tax rate of 18% at June 30, 2004, which is less
than the federal statutory rate of 35%. The effective tax rate in the second
quarter of 2003 was 38% which was higher than the statutory rate of 35% due to
the net impact of state income taxes.

To the extent that the actual annual pre-tax results for domestic and
foreign income differ from the forecasted estimates applied at June 30, 2004,
the actual provision for income taxes recognized could be materially different
from the annual tax provision as of the end of the second quarter.
18


Net Income

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 amounted to $3.2 million
or 2.9% of sales, compared to $5.3 million or 5.0% of sales in the comparable
2003 period. This decline consists of a decrease in operating income from the
Titanium Group.

OUTLOOK

Overview

Weak U.S. and global economies, the terrorist attacks of September 11,
2001, the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, and the worldwide outbreak of
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ("SARS") had a significant adverse effect on
the overall titanium industry, but the outlook appears somewhat brighter going
forward.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. shipments of titanium mill
products declined from a high of approximately 65 million pounds in 1997 to
approximately 34 million pounds in 2003. Shipment levels in 2004, however, are
expected to be up from 2003 due to an inventory replenishment cycle along with
increased demand from an improving economy.

The following is a discussion of what is happening within each of the three
major markets in which RTI participates.

Commercial Aerospace Markets

Aerospace demand is classified into two sectors: commercial aerospace and
defense programs. Demand from these two sectors comprises approximately 45% of
the worldwide consumption for titanium products and in the U.S. comprises in
excess of 60% of titanium consumption. The events surrounding September 11,
2001, as well as the Middle East conflict and the outbreak of SARS severely
affected the commercial aerospace market. Airline operators experienced a
dramatic drop in travel resulting in significant losses within the airline
industry, necessitating cancellation of and reduced requirements for new
aircraft. The Company's sales to this market represented 27% of total sales in
2003, down from 49% in 2000.

Following the drop in aircraft demand, Boeing and Airbus continued to
reduce their build rates for aircraft, including an aggregate 13.5% cutback in
2003. Their combined build rate for large commercial aircraft for 2004 is
currently expected to be up slightly at 590 planes. A slight increase in
commercial aerospace production is expected in 2005 growing somewhat in 2006.

Airbus has announced the launch of a large widebody aircraft, the A380, and
Boeing has launched a new aircraft, the 7E7, both of which are expected to use
large quantities of titanium, in the second half of this decade. Longer term,
the commercial aerospace sector is expected to continue to be a very significant
consumer of titanium products due to the expected long-term growth of worldwide
traffic and the need to repair and replace aging commercial fleets over the next
20 years.

Titanium mill products that are ordered by the prime aircraft producers and
their subcontractors are generally ordered in advance of final aircraft
production by six to eighteen months. This is due to the time it takes to
produce a final assembly or part that is ready for installation in an airframe
or jet engine. Given reduced activity by aircraft builders, shipments from RTI
to this market sector were reduced in 2003.

The effect of the reduction in commercial aircraft demand on RTI was
partially mitigated by the long-term agreement RMI entered into with Boeing on
January 28, 1998. Under this agreement, RMI agreed to supply Boeing and its
family of commercial suppliers with up to 4.5 million pounds of titanium
products annually. The agreement, which began in 1999, had an initial term of
five years and concluded at the end of 2003. Under the accord, Boeing received
firm prices in exchange for RMI receiving a minimum volume commitment of 3.25
million pounds per year. If volumes fell short of the minimum commitment, the
contract contains provisions for financial compensation. In accordance with the
agreement, and as a result of volume shortfalls in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and
2003, Boeing settled claims of approximately $6 million in both 2000 and 2001
and $7 million in 2002. The claim for 2002 was settled during the first quarter
of 2003 for approximately $8 million. Boeing ordered 0.4 million pounds in 2003,
the final year of the contract, and accordingly, the Company received a payment
of $9.1 million in March 2004 when Boeing satisfied the final

19


claim under the contract. Beginning in January of 2004, business between the
companies not covered by other contracts is being conducted on a non-committed
basis, that is, no volume commitment by Boeing and no commitment of capacity or
price by RMI.

RTI, through its RTI Europe subsidiary, entered into an agreement with the
European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company ("EADS") in April 2002 to supply
value-added titanium products and parts to the EADS group of companies,
including Airbus. The contract is in place through 2004, subject to extension.
The new Airbus A380 is expected to utilize more titanium per aircraft than any
commercial plane yet produced. In 2003, Airbus became the world's largest
producer of commercial aircraft.

With SARS apparently under control and industry forecasters projecting
increases in future commercial air traffic, the Company is optimistic that the
commercial aerospace market is at or near the bottom of this decline. In August,
2003, SpeedNews reported that the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) expected world airline traffic to increase 4.4% in 2004 and 6.3% in 2005.
Traditionally, as traffic increases, airlines become more profitable and order
new airplanes. However, it must be noted that due to production lead times any
improvements in the orders of planes will take some time to be reflected in
shipments of titanium. Additionally, a number of planes taken out of service by
the airlines during this downturn are likely to be returned. For this reason,
the Company does not anticipate significant improvement in this market.

Defense Markets

Shipments to military markets represented approximately 28% of the
Company's 2003 revenues and are expected to increase as a percent of total sales
in 2004 as U.S. and other countries' defense budgets increase. This expected
increase is due in part to the events of September 11, 2001 and the ongoing
conflicts in the Middle East. In fact, the latest U.S. Department of Defense
budget figures for Research, Development Testing and Evaluation (RDT&E) and
Procurement reflect an increase of 45% from 2003 through 2009.

RTI believes it is well positioned to supply mill products and fabrications
required for any increase in demand from this market. RTI currently supplies
titanium and other materials to most military aerospace programs, including the
F/A-22, C-17, F/A-18, F-15, F-16, Joint Strike Fighter ("JSF") (F-35) and in
Europe, the Mirage, Rafale and Eurofighter-Typhoon.

The Company was chosen by BAE Systems RO Defence UK to supply the titanium
components for the new XM-777 lightweight 155 mm Howitzer. Delivery began late
in 2003 and will continue through 2010. Initial deliveries will be to the U.S.
Marine Corps, followed by deliveries to the U.S. Army and the Italian and
British armed forces. It is anticipated that over 1,000 guns may be produced.
Sales under this contract could potentially exceed $70 million.

Another positive development in this market was that Lockheed Martin, a
major customer of the Company, was awarded the largest military contract ever on
October 26, 2001, for the military's $200 billion JSF program. The aircraft,
which will be used by all branches of the military, is expected to consume
25,000 to 30,000 pounds of titanium per airplane. Timing and order patterns,
which are likely to extend well into the future for this program, have not been
quantified, but may be as many as 3,000 to 6,000 planes over the next 30 to 40
years. As of this printing it appears the Defense Department will authorize a
delay in start up which is intended to give the program time to fix the
overweight condition mainly affecting the short takeoff and vertical landing
versions. This could delay the first flight from 2005 to 2006. The Company has
entered into agreements with Lockheed and its teaming partner, BAE Systems, to
be the supplier of titanium sheet and plate for the design and development phase
of the program over the next five years.

Despite the forecasted increases in the defense market, it is not expected
to completely offset the effects of the relative softness in the commercial
aerospace market.

Industrial and Consumer Markets

46% of RTI's 2003 revenues were generated in various industrial and
consumer markets where business conditions are expected to be mixed over the
next twelve months.

20


Revenues from oil and gas markets are expected to be reduced somewhat in
2004 due to the timing of two large projects, but will increase in 2005 and
2006, due to continued activity in deep water projects predicted over the next
several years.

In April 2002, RTI Energy Systems was selected by Unocal Corporation to
provide production riser equipment in connection with their West Seno project
off the coast of Indonesia. RTI provided high-fatigue riser engineering design,
in addition to the manufactured components using a combination of titanium and
steel. This project, which was completed in the first quarter of 2003, is
expected to lead to other opportunities in Indonesia in late 2004 and extending
over the next 2-3 years.

In addition to the growing applications in energy extraction, RTI serves a
number of other industrial and consumer markets through its distribution
businesses. The products sold and applications served are numerous and varied.
The resulting diversity tends to provide sales stability through varying market
conditions, so the Company expects little overall change in sales and
profitability from this sector of RTI's business over the next twelve months.

The weak economy in recent years has negatively affected other RTI
industrial and consumer markets, such as chemical processing, power generation
and pulp and paper. However, the Company believes demand from these markets will
improve in 2004 and beyond as economic conditions continue to show improvement.

Backlog

The Company's order backlog for all markets increased to $103.7 million as
of June 30, 2004, from $92.3 million at December 31, 2003, principally in
titanium markets as the general economy appears to be increasing and orders for
inventory replenishment take hold.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
(Dollars in millions)

The Company believes it will generate sufficient cash flow from operations
to fund operations and capital expenditures in 2004. In addition, RTI has cash
reserves and available borrowing capacity to maintain adequate liquidity. RTI
currently has no debt, and based on the expected strength of 2004 cash flows,
the Company does not believe there are any material near-term risks related to
fluctuations in interest rates.

Cash provided by operating activities



SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 2003
- ------------------------- ---- -----

Cash provided by operating activities....................... $9.8 $15.3


The decrease in net cash flows from operations for the six months ended
June 30, 2004 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003 primarily reflects
a decrease in net income of $2.1 million due to a decline in business operating
results as mentioned in the "Results of Operations" section of Management's
Discussion and Analysis. The remainder of the decrease is primarily due to a
decrease in cash generated from reductions in working capital and other balance
sheet line items. The decrease in cash generated from working capital and other
balance sheet line items when comparing 2004 to 2003 was caused by a decrease in
other current liabilities, an increase in accounts receivable, offset by a
decline in inventory. Included in other current liabilities are the Company's
income tax liability and its liability for billings in excess of costs. The
Company substantially reduced its income tax liability in the six months ended
June 30, 2004 as payment was made and the reduced operating income in the six
months did not necessitate a re-establishment of a material liability at June
30, 2004. The liability for billings in excess of costs decreased during the six
months as new work on projects decreased over the prior period.

The Company generated cash from continued inventory liquidations in the six
months ended June 30, 2004 when compared to the year ago period as
work-in-process and finished goods inventories were reduced in the Titanium
Group Segment.

21


The Company's working capital ratio was 10.6 and 7.8 to 1 at June 30, 2004
and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Cash used in investing activities



SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 2003
- ------------------------- ----- -----

Cash used in investing activities........................... $(2.2) $(1.7)


Gross capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2004 amounted
to $2.3 million compared to $3.2 million in 2003. In all periods, capital
spending primarily reflected equipment additions and improvements as well as
information systems projects.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company's cash flow
requirements for capital expenditures were funded with cash provided by
operations. The Company anticipates that its capital expenditures for 2004 will
total approximately $8.0 million and will be funded with cash generated by
operations.

At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company had a borrowing
capacity equal to $39.2 and $59.4 million, respectively.

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities



SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 2003
- ------------------------- ---- ----

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities............. $2.0 $(.2)


The favorable change in cash flows from financing activities for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003
primarily reflects an increase in proceeds from the exercise of employee stock
options of $2.6 million in 2004.

On September 9, 1999, RTI filed a universal shelf registration with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. This registration permits RTI to issue up to
$100 million of debt and/or equity securities at an unspecified future date. The
proceeds of any such issuance could be utilized to finance acquisitions, capital
investments or other general purposes; however, RTI has not issued any
securities to date and has no immediate plans to do so.

(1) Amounts represent commitments for which contractual terms exceed twelve
months.

(2) Amounts primarily represent purchase commitments under purchase orders.

(3) The Company does not fund its other post-retirement employee benefits
obligation but instead pays amounts when incurred. However, these estimates
are based on current benefit plan coverage and are not contractual
commitments in as much as the Company retains the right to modify, reduce,
or terminate any such coverage in the future. Amounts shown in the years
2004 through 2008 are based on actuarial estimates of expected future cash
payments. The Company is not forecasting or required to make a pension
contribution in 2004. As in past years, the Company may make voluntary
contributions when there is an economic advantage to contribute to the fund.
Future contributions to the fund, if required, will be provided based on
actuarial evaluation.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

On June 4, 2004, the Company amended its existing $100 million credit
agreement to a $90 million facility with an expiration of May 31, 2008. The
amendment provides for the Company to increase the facility to $100 million
without prior bank group approval. The existing facility was to expire on May
31, 2005. The terms of the facility remain unchanged except the covenant
regarding tangible net worth was eliminated.

Under the terms of the amended facility, the Company, at its option, will
be able to borrow at (a) a base rate (which is the higher of PNC Bank's prime
rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% per annum), or (b) LIBOR plus
a spread (ranging from 1.0% to 2.25%) determined by the ratio of the Company's
consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization. The credit agreement contains restrictions, among
others, on the minimum cash flow required, and the maximum leverage ratio
permitted. At June 30, 2004, there was $4.4 million of standby letters of credit
outstanding under the facility, the Company was in compliance with all
covenants, and had a borrowing capacity equal to $39.2 million.

23


ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations as well as
various health and safety laws and regulations that are subject to frequent
modifications and revisions. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the
Company spent approximately $0.8 million for environmental remediation,
compliance, and related services. While the costs of compliance for these
matters have not had a material adverse impact on the Company in the past, it is
impossible to accurately predict the ultimate effect these changing laws and
regulations may have on the Company in the future. The Company continues to
evaluate its obligations for environmental related costs on a quarterly basis
and makes adjustments in accordance with provisions of Statement of Position No.
96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities".

The Company is involved in investigative or cleanup projects under federal
or state environmental laws at a number of waste disposal sites, including the
Fields Brook Superfund Site and the Ashtabula River Area of Concern. Given the
status of the proceedings with respect to these sites, ultimate investigative
and remediation costs cannot presently be accurately predicted, but could, in
the aggregate be material. Based on the information available regarding the
current ranges of estimated remediation costs at currently active sites, and
what the Company believes will be its ultimate share of such costs, provisions
for environmental-related costs have been recorded.

Given the status of the proceedings at certain of these sites, and the
evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations, and remediation techniques,
the Company's ultimate obligation for investigative and remediation costs cannot
be predicted. It is the Company's policy to recognize environmental costs in its
financial statements when an obligation becomes probable and a reasonable
estimate of exposure can be determined.

At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the amount accrued for future
environmental-related costs was $1.7 million. Of the total amount accrued at
June 30, 2004, $0.5 million is expected to be paid out within one year and is
included in the other accrued liabilities line of the balance sheet. The
remaining $1.2 million is recorded in other non-current liabilities.

Based on available information, RMI believes that its share of potential
environmental-related costs, before expected contributions from third parties,
is in a range from $2.6 to $7.9 million in the aggregate. The amount accrued is
net of expected contributions from third parties in a range from $0.2 to $2.3
million, which the Company believes are probable. These third parties include
prior owners of RMI property and prior customers of RMI, that have agreed to
partially reimburse the Company for certain environmental-related costs. The
Company has been receiving contributions from such third parties for a number of
years as partial reimbursement for costs incurred by the Company.

As these proceedings continue toward final resolution, amounts in excess of
those already provided may be necessary to discharge the Company from its
obligations for these sites.

Former Ashtabula Extrusion Plant

The Company's former extrusion plant in Ashtabula, Ohio was used to extrude
depleted uranium under a contract with the DOE from 1962 through 1990. In
accordance with that agreement, the DOE retained responsibility for the cleanup
of the facility when the facility was no longer needed for processing government
material. Processing ceased in 1990, and in 1993 RMI was chosen as the prime
contractor for the remediation and restoration of the site by the DOE. Since
then, contaminated buildings have been removed and approximately two-thirds of
the site has been free released by the Ohio Department of Health, to RMI, at DOE
expense.

In December, 2003, in accordance with its terms, the Department of Energy
terminated the contract "for convenience." Remaining soil removal is expected to
take approximately 18-24 months. As license holder and owner of the site, RMI is
responsible to the state of Ohio for complying with soil and water regulations.
However, remaining cleanup cost is expected to be borne by the DOE in accordance
with their contractual obligation.

24


EMPLOYEES

As of June 30, 2004, the Company and its subsidiaries employed 1,049
persons, 371 of whom were classified as administrative and sales personnel. 620
of the total number of employees were in the Titanium Group, while 413 were
employed in the Fabrication & Distribution Group.

The United Steelworkers of America represents 357 of the hourly clerical
and technical employees at RMI's plant in Niles, Ohio and 15 hourly employees at
RMI Environmental Services in Ashtabula, Ohio. No other Company employees are
represented by a union.

In 1999 the Niles, Ohio plant and the United Steel Workers of America,
after a strike, agreed to a forty-two month contract which expired on October
15, 2003. The contract was extended twice as local management and the union
negotiated the terms of a new contract. On October 25, 2003 union members voted
to reject management's final proposal and a work stoppage commenced. The plant
will continue to be operated by non-represented employees until an agreement can
be reached.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2003 (the "Act") was signed into law. The Act incorporates
a plan sponsor subsidy based on a percentage of a beneficiary's annual
prescription drug benefits, within certain limits, and opportunity for a retiree
to obtain prescription drug benefits under Medicare.

Since the Company has had an established cap on its postretirement medical
benefits, any reductions in postretirement benefit costs resulting from the Act
are not expected to be material although the Company will evaluate the effect of
the Act during the two year transitional period provided under the Act. Specific
authoritative guidance on the accounting for federal subsidy is pending and that
guidance, when issued could require plan sponsors to change previously reported
information. Additionally, regulations under the act have not been issued.

In accordance with FASB Staff Position 106-2, the Company has elected to
defer accounting for the effect of the act. Accordingly, the benefit obligation
and net periodic benefit cost do not reflect any potential effects of the Act.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable
Interest entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51," (FIN 46) which addresses
consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities that do not
have sufficient equity investment to permit the entity to finance its activities
without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or whose
equity investors lack characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The
Interpretation provides guidance related to identifying variable interest
entities and determining whether such entities should be consolidated. It also
provides guidance related to the initial and subsequent measurement of assets,
liabilities and noncontrolling interests in newly consolidated variable interest
entities and requires disclosures for both the primary beneficiary of a variable
interest entity and other beneficiaries of the entity. FIN 46 must be applied to
all entities subject to this Interpretation as of March 31, 2004. However, prior
to the required application of this Interpretation, FIN 46 must be applied to
those entities that are considered to be special-purpose entities as of December
31, 2003. There was no financial statement impact from the application at March
31, 2004.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no significant changes to the Company's exposure to market
risk since the Company filed its Form 10-K on March 8, 2004.

25


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 and 15d-14. They have concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all
material information required to be filed in this quarterly report has been made
known to them in a timely fashion. In addition, there have been no changes in
the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect those internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses, subsequent to the Evaluation
Date.
