| ITEM 4.02. | Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review. |
On July 30, 2013, the Company issued a press release related to its preliminary results for the three months ended June 30, 2013. In the press release, the Company indicated that it had commenced a review of its revenue recognition methodology with respect to customer contracts. During this review, the Company determined that a different revenue recognition model would be required for approximately 25 of its contracts, primarily related to projects by the Company’s Engineered Products and Services Segment for use in offshore oil and gas drilling.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 12b-25 filed on August 12, 2013, the Company historically recorded revenues and associated costs upon the delivery of products or the performance of services. The review discussed above revealed that revenue for the identified contracts should have been recognized using a percentage of completion model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-35, Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. ASC 605-35 requires that management continually update estimates of projected revenues and costs for each contract to determine the appropriate amount of revenue and costs to recognize in each period. For certain contracts, since the Company had not been historically recording revenue and expenses in accordance with ASC
605-35, such estimates were not available for historical periods and it was not practicable to create such estimates. As a result, revenues and costs under these contracts have been recorded in equal amounts using the zero profit method under ASC 605-35 until the period when the Company believed it would have been able to estimate its remaining revenues and costs, at which point the cumulative contract gross profit earned to date was recorded. This generally occurred when the primary deliverable under the contract was delivered. The Company will continue to use this methodology under ASC 605-35 until such time as a reliable formal process for estimating total contract revenues and costs is implemented, at which time the Company will recognize contract revenues in proportion to costs for its ongoing contracts.
The Company’s review and evaluation of its revenue recognition methodology resulted in the Company’s management recommending to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) that the Company’s previously reported financial results be restated to correct its revenue recognition for these contracts. The Audit Committee, after consultation with Company management and with the concurrence of PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PwC”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, approved this recommendation on September 17, 2013, and concluded that the Company’s previously filed financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the interim periods therein (March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012, and September 30, 2012), and the financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 should no longer be relied upon. The Company intends to file amendments to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as soon as practicable to address the matters discussed herein.
The correction of these errors has no impact on total contract revenues or total contract profitability over the term of the contract, and has no impact on total contract cash flows; however, it will change the timing of revenue and profitability recognition during the course of the contract period.
The following tables present the Company’s restated preliminary unaudited financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the year ended December 31, 2012, and the interim periods of 2012. Additionally, the following tables for periods prior to 2013 have been adjusted to present the results of the Company’s former RTI Pierce Spafford facility, which was divested in April 2013, as a discontinued operation.

In addition to the foregoing financial information, the Company’s preliminary unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 has been furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 above.
Management has also considered the effect on prior conclusions as to the adequacy of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. As a result of the revenue recognition error described above, as well as information that came to light as a result of a periodic review of PwC’s 2012 audit by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Company has determined that the following material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting existed as of December 31, 2012:
| • | The Company did not design or maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy and timing of revenue and related cost recognition for customer contracts at certain businesses within its Engineered Products and Services segment. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements discussed above. |
| • | The Company did not maintain effective risk assessment controls to evaluate the financial reporting impacts that recent acquisitions and other related changes to the business could have on certain other internal control processes. This material weakness contributed to the following material weaknesses: |
| • | The Company did not maintain effectively designed controls over its acquisition accounting. |
| • | The Company did not design and maintain certain controls at its recently acquired Advanced Forming division. |
| • | The Company’s controls over the annual goodwill impairment analysis were not adequately designed. |
These material weaknesses did not result in any material misstatements to the consolidated financial statements; however, these material weaknesses could result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim Consolidated Financial Statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Accordingly, in light of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 and its disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013 were not effective.
The Company is in the process of instituting measures to address the above-described material weaknesses. A more detailed description will be included in the Company’s amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012.
As indicated herein, the Audit Committee and Company management have discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02 with PwC, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
In conjunction with the completion of the review discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company is reaffirming its previously-issued full year 2013 guidance.

The Company currently expects operating income in the higher end of this range.
