Note 1. Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The interim
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allegheny Technologies
Incorporated and its subsidiaries. Unless the context requires otherwise,
Allegheny Technologies, ATI and the Company
refer to Allegheny Technologies Incorporated and its subsidiaries.
These
unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10
of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States for complete financial statements. In managements
opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys 2004
Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for these interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period.
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform with
the current presentation.
Stock-based Compensation
Effective
January 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R).
Under the revised standard, companies may no longer account for share-based
compensation transactions, such as stock options, restricted stock, and potential
payments under programs such as the Companys Total Shareholder Return
(TSR) plans, using the intrinsic value method as defined in APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees
(APB 25). Instead, companies are required to account for such
equity transactions using an approach in which the fair value of an award
is estimated at the date of grant and recognized as an expense over the requisite
service period. Compensation expense is adjusted for equity awards that do
not vest because service or performance conditions are not satisfied. However,
compensation expense already recognized is not adjusted if market conditions
are not met, such as the Companys total shareholder return performance
relative to a peer group under the Companys TSR plans, or for stock
options which expire out-of-the-money. The new standard was adopted
using the modified prospective method and beginning with the first quarter
2005, the Company will reflect compensation expense in accordance with the
SFAS 123R transition provisions. Under the modified prospective method, the
effect of the standard is recognized in the period of adoption and in future
periods. Prior periods are not restated to reflect the impact of adopting
the new standard.
First
quarter 2005 compensation expense related to share-based incentive plans was
$2.7 million compared to $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2004. First
quarter 2005 share-based compensation expense includes $0.8 million related
to expensing of stock options. Net income for the year ended December 31,
2004 would have been $9.6 million higher, at $29.4 million, had
share-based compensation expense been accounted for under SFAS 123R, and net
income per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2004 would have
been $0.33 under FAS 123R, rather than $0.22. The following table illustrates
for each quarter of 2004 the effect on operating results and per share information
had the
6
Company accounted for share-based compensation
in accordance SFAS 123R during those periods.

There was no effect to the statement of cash flows from the adoption of SFAS 123R due to the valuation allowance established for the Companys net deferred tax asset.
The Company sponsors three principal share-based incentive compensation programs. The general terms of each arrangement, the method of estimating fair value for each arrangement and 2005 activity is reported below.
Stock option awards: Options to employees were granted with graded vesting in one-third increments over three years, based on term of service. Fair value as calculated under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, is used to recognize expense upon adoption of SFAS 123R. Fair values for each grant were estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model which utilized assumptions for stock price volatility, estimated life based on historical option exercise patterns, and projected dividends. The Company has not granted any stock options, other than grants to non-employee directors, since 2003. Compensation expense related to stock option awards was $0.8 million for the first quarter 2005. Approximately $1.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards will be recognized, in declining amounts, through the first quarter 2006, when all existing grants will have vested.
Nonvested stock awards: Awards of nonvested stock are granted with either performance and/or service conditions. In certain grants, nonvested shares participate in cash dividends during the restriction period. In other grants, dividends are paid in the form of additional shares of nonvested stock, subject to the same vesting conditions and dividend treatment as the underlying shares. Fair value is measured based on the stock price at the grant date, adjusted for non-participating dividends, as applicable, based on the current dividend rate. In the first quarter 2005, the Company granted 151,902 shares of nonvested stock with a grant date fair value per share of $22.175, for a total grant date fair value of $3.4 million. Compensation expense related to all nonvested stock awards was $0.7 million for the 2005 first quarter. Approximately $5.5 million of unrecognized fair value
7
compensation expense relating to nonvested stock awards is expected to be recognized through 2007 based on estimates of attaining performance vesting criteria.
TSR plan awards: Awards under the TSR plans are granted at a target number of shares, and vest based on the measured return of the Companys stock price and dividend performance at the end of three-year periods compared to the stock price and dividend performance of a group of industry peers. The 2003-2005 and 2004-2006 TSR plans performance periods were in effect at the adoption of SFAS 123R. In the first quarter 2005, the Company initiated a 2005-2007 TSR plan, with 166,749 shares as the target level award. The actual number of shares awarded may range from a minimum of zero to a maximum of two times target, in the case of the 2003-2005 TSR plan award, or three times target, in the case of the 2004-2006 and 2005-2007 TSR plans awards. Fair values for the TSR plans awards were estimated using Monte Carlo simulations of historical stock price correlation, projected dividends yields and other variables over three-year time horizons matching the TSR plans performance periods. Compensation expense of $1.2 million was recognized in the first quarter 2005 for the fair value of TSR plan awards.
The estimated fair value of each TSR plan award, including the projected shares to be awarded, and compensation expense to be recognized subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123R for TSR plan awards was as follows:
In millions, except for shares (unaudited):
Awards earned under share-based incentive compensation programs will be first paid with shares held in treasury with any additional required share payments made by the issuance of shares.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Contingent Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143). FIN 47 clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in SFAS 143 refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. An entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated, even if conditional on a future event. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005, or ATIs fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. For existing contingent asset retirement obligations which are determined to be recognizable under FIN 47, the effect of applying FIN 47 would be recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The Company is evaluating the status of its conditional asset retirement obligations, and has not determined whether sufficient
8
information exists with regard to the timing and method of settlement to reasonably estimate the obligations.
Note 2. Acquisitions
On
June 1, 2004, a subsidiary of the Company acquired substantially all
of the assets of J&L Specialty Steel, LLC (J&L), a
producer of flat-rolled stainless steel products with operations in Midland,
Pennsylvania and Louisville, Ohio, for $67.0 million in total consideration,
including the assumption of certain current liabilities, and which is subject
to final adjustment. The acquired operations were integrated into the Allegheny
Ludlum operation, which is part of the Companys Flat-Rolled Products
business segment. The purchase price included payment of $7.5 million
at closing, the issuance to the seller of a non-interest bearing $7.5 million
promissory note that matures on June 1, 2005, and the issuance to the
seller of a promissory note in the principal amount of $52.0 million,
which is secured by the J&L property, plant and equipment acquired,
and which is subject to adjustment on the terms set forth in the asset purchase
agreement and has a final maturity of July 1, 2011. The purchase price
is expected to be finalized in the 2005 second Note 3. Inventories
Inventories
at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were as follows (in millions):
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out (LIFO),
first-in, first-out (FIFO), and average cost methods) or market,
less progress payments. Most of the Companys inventory is valued utilizing
the LIFO costing methodology. Inventory of the Companys non-U.S. operations
is valued using average cost or FIFO methods. The effect of using the LIFO
methodology to value inventory, rather than FIFO, increased cost of sales
by $5.7 million for the first three months of 2005 compared to $48.1 million
for the first three months of 2004.
