ATI Accelerating Strategy to Become an Aerospace & Defense Materials Leader

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: ATI) conducted an investor event earlier today, covering a broad array of strategic topics and providing long-term financial targets.

The company's leadership shared their expectations for ATI in several key areas:

• Revenue growth should outpace growth rates in key end-markets.

• Rapid improvement in return on invested capital, increasing opportunities to enhance shareholder value over time.

"ATI is accelerating its clear and defined strategy to become an aerospace and defense leader," said Robert S. Wetherbee, Board Chair, President and CEO. "We're solving the world's greatest challenges through materials science, thriving where the expectations are great and the barriers are high. That's where we perform the best and are valued the most. ATI is proven to perform in the most extreme conditions."

The company provided long-term financial targets that, based on current assumptions, it expects to achieve by year-end 2025.

• Free cash flow conversion greater than 90% from adjusted net income;
