Successful Acquisition and Diversification Efforts Highlight 2012

During 2012, RTI progressed in its transformation to a fully-integrated manufacturer and fabricator of advanced titanium products serving diversified markets that include aerospace and defense, medical devices and energy exploration and production. The centerpiece of this progress was the acquisition and integration of Remmele Engineering. Remmele added significant engineering and advanced robotic manufacturing to RTI’s capabilities and diversified RTI into a fast-growing new end market – process design and contract manufacturing of medical device titanium components.

Also during 2012, RTI benefited from the growing needs of its energy market customers for advanced, engineered structural components for deepwater drilling and exploration applications. The increase in demand tripled sales to this sector of the Company’s business versus the previous year.

Titanium Group

For the fourth quarter of 2012, the Titanium Group posted operating income of $10.3 million on sales of $76.6 million, including intersegment sales of $37.1 million. During the same period in 2011, this Group had operating income of $6.1 million on sales of $81.1 million, including intersegment sales of $37.3 million. The increase in operating income during the quarter was driven primarily by lower scrap material input costs and improved operational performance at the Martinsville facility.

Sales in 2012 for the Titanium Group were $338.0 million, including intersegment sales of $178.4 million, versus sales of $312.7 million and intersegment sales of $152.0 million in 2011. The Group had operating income of $26.2 million for the year, compared to operating income of $29.0 million in 2011. The reduction in operating income was driven primarily by lower volumes and losses associated with a fire at the Canton, Ohio, manufacturing facility in September of 2012.

Mill product shipments for the fourth quarter were 3.7 million pounds at an average realized price of $19.13 per pound compared to mill product shipments of 4.0 million pounds in the fourth quarter of 2011 at an average realized price of $19.11 per pound. Mill product shipments for the full year were 16.5 million pounds at an average realized price of $19.14 per pound compared to mill product shipments of 14.7 million pounds in 2011 at an average realized price of $19.54 per pound.

Fabrication Group

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Fabrication Group posted operating income of $4.1 million on net sales of $101.3 million. For the same period in 2011, this Group had an operating loss of $3.2 million on net sales of $40.0 million.

In 2012, net sales for the Fabrication Group were $335.3 million versus $150.5 million in 2011. This Group had operating income of $12.5 million for the year compared to an operating loss of $11.2 million in 2011. The more than double year-over-year sales increase and transition from an operating loss to an operating profit in 2012 was driven primarily by the acquisition of Remmele Engineering in February of 2012, a full-year contribution from RTI Advanced Forming, which was acquired in November of 2011, increased shipments of precision machined titanium components for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and a tripling of sales of engineered components for subsea applications, primarily in the Gulf of Mexico.

Distribution Group

For the fourth quarter of 2012, the Distribution Group posted operating income of $2.8 million on net sales of $55.6 million. For the same period in 2011, the Group had operating income of $1.7 million on net sales of $58.2 million.

For 2012, net sales for the Distribution Group were $243.7 million, versus $218.4 million in 2011. The Group had operating income of $16.3 million for the year, compared to operating income of $10.0 million in 2011. The Group’s results reflect increased demand for titanium materials from European customers supporting the Airbus supply chain.

CEO Comment / Outlook

“RTI’s fourth quarter financial performance capped a year that included record revenues and continued validation of RTI’s strategic direction. Fourth quarter results exceeded our expectations as a result of the Fabrication Group’s shipment of completed, engineered machined components for deepwater applications, the favorable scrap input costs in the Titanium Group, and sales that were anticipated to occur in the first quarter of 2013,” Dawne Hickton, Vice Chair, President and CEO of RTI said.

“Our results for the full year were positively impacted by both acquisitions as Remmele Engineering and RTI Advanced Forming performed as expected, as well as continued operational enhancements throughout our internal supply chain. In addition, sales associated with the 787 Dreamliner accelerated as we ended the year with total shipments of 44 seat track ship sets. Finally, demand for engineered components for deepwater applications was substantially above our initial 2012 forecast.

“For 2013, we expect to see modest growth in both our consolidated sales and operating income. Sales are currently anticipated to approach $775 million with operating income to be within a range of $65 to $75 million. Titanium mill product volumes are expected to be slightly lower than the 16.5 million pounds shipped in 2012. On the other hand, based on the latest information from Boeing, seat track component shipments for the 787 Dreamliner are expected to exceed 75 ship sets. Our capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $50 to $60 million.

“Despite this guidance, I would caution investors that we expect the first half of the year to exhibit some softness with good momentum developing during the last six months, driven by an accelerated production schedule for 787 components and sequential increases in mill product demand. This early softness could result in first quarter operating income of less than $10 million.” Ms. Hickton concluded.
