Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Allegheny Technologies Incorporated
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Allegheny Technologies Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Allegheny Technologies Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Investments are valued as follows:
Bank and insurance investment contracts (investment contracts) with varying contract rates and
maturity dates are stated at contract value.
Although it is managements intention to hold the investment contracts in the Standish Fixed
Income Fund until maturity, certain investment contracts provide for adjustments to contract
value for withdrawals made prior to maturity.
All other investments are stated at their net asset value, based on the quoted market prices of
the securities held in such funds on applicable exchanges.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The financial statements are prepared under the accrual basis of accounting.
2. Description of the Plan
The Allegheny Technologies Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution plan and is
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
The purpose of the Plan is to provide retirement benefits to eligible employees through company
contributions and to encourage employee thrift by permitting eligible employees to defer a part of
their compensation and contribute such deferral to the Plan. The Plan allows employees to
contribute a portion of eligible wages each pay period through payroll deductions subject to
Internal Revenue Code limitations. Depending on participants years of service, qualifying employee
contributions are matched by the respective employing companies, which are Allegheny Technologies
Incorporated (ATI, the Plan Sponsor) and affiliates of ATI, up to 4% of participants salary. In
addition, the respective employing companies contribute 6.5% of participants monthly pensionable
earnings, as described in the Plan, and in addition contribute $43.34 per month per participant.
With respect to participants who are members of the Salaried Union Office & Technical (Local
1196-1) Agreement, the Plan was amended on January 1, 2004 to provide an employer contribution of
$0.50 for each hour worked by the participant, and on
4

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Description of the Plan (continued)
June 1, 2004 to provide that the employer match and the employer contributions of 6.5% of earnings
and $43.34 per month were eliminated. The Plan allows participants to direct their contributions,
and contributions made on their behalf, to any of the investment alternatives. Unless otherwise
specified by the participant, employer contributions are made to the Standish Fixed Income Fund.
Separate accounts are maintained by the Plan Sponsor for each participating employee. Trustee fees
and asset management fees charged by the Plans trustee, Mellon Bank, N.A., for the administration
of all funds are charged against net assets available for benefits of the respective fund. Certain
other expenses of administering the Plan are paid by the Plan Sponsor.
Participants may make in-service and hardship withdrawals as outlined in the plan document.
Active employees can borrow up to 50% of their vested account balances minus any outstanding loans.
The loan amounts are further limited to a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $50,000, and an
employee can obtain no more than three loans at one time. Interest rates are determined based on
commercially accepted criteria, and payment schedules vary based on the type of the loan. General
purpose loans are repaid over 6 to 60 months, and primary residence loans are repaid over periods
up to 180 months. Payments are made by payroll deductions.
Further information about the Plan, including eligibility, vesting, contributions, and withdrawals,
is contained in the plan documents, summary plan description, and related contracts. These
documents are available from the Plan Sponsor.
3. Investments
The following presents investments that represent 5% or more of the Plans net assets:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
3. Investments (continued)
Certain of the Plans investments are in the Allegheny Master Trust, which has three separately
managed institutional investment accounts in the ATI Disciplined Stock Fund, the Alliance Capital
Growth Pool, and the Standish Fixed Income Fund, which are valued on a unitized basis
(collectively, the Allegheny Master Trust). The Allegheny Master Trust was established for the
investment of assets of the Plan, and several other ATI sponsored retirement plans. Each
participating retirement plan has an undivided interest in the Allegheny Master Trust. At December
31, 2004 and 2003, the Plans interest in the net assets of the Alliance Capital Growth Pool, the
Standish Fixed Income Fund, and the ATI Disciplined Stock Fund was as follows:
Investment income and expenses are allocated to the Plan based upon its pro rata share in the net
assets of the Allegheny Master Trust.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
3. Investments (continued)
The composition of the net assets of the Standish Fixed Income Fund at December 31, 2004 and 2003,
was as follows:
The Standish Fixed Income Fund (the Fund) invests in guaranteed investment contracts (GICs)
and actively managed structured or synthetic investment contracts (SICs). The GICs are promises by
a bank or insurance company to repay principal plus a fixed rate of return through contract
maturity. SICs differ from GICs in that there are specific assets supporting the SICs, and these
assets are owned by the Allegheny Master Trust. The bank or insurance company issues a wrapper contract that
allows participant-directed transactions to be made at contract value. The assets supporting the
SICs are comprised of government agency bonds, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities (ABOs), and
collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) with fair values of $134,332,201 and $107,926,162 at
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
7
Allegheny Technologies Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
3. Investments (continued)
Interest crediting rates on the GICs in the Fund are determined at the time of purchase. Interest
crediting rates on the SICs are either: (1) set at the time of purchase for a fixed term and
crediting rate, (2) set at the time of purchase for a fixed term and variable crediting rate, or
(3) set at the time of purchase and reset monthly within a constant duration. A constant duration
contract may specify a duration of 2.5 years and the crediting rate is adjusted monthly based upon
quarterly rebalancing of eligible 2.5 year duration investment instruments at the time of each
resetting; in effect the contract never matures. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the interest
crediting rates for GICs and Fixed Maturity SICs ranged from 3.87% to 8.05% and 3.58% to 8.02%,
respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the average annual yield for the investment
contracts in the Fund was 4.89% and 5.31%, respectively. Fair value of the GICs was estimated by
discounting the weighted average of the Funds cash flows at the then-current, interest-crediting
rate for a comparable maturity investment contract. Fair value for the SICs was estimated based on
the fair value of each contracts supporting assets at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

The composition of net assets of the Alliance Capital Growth Pool at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was
as follows:
The composition of net assets of the ATI Disciplined Stock Fund at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was
as follows:
9
Allegheny Technologies Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
3. Investments (continued)
The composition of the changes in net assets of the Allegheny Master Trust is as follows:
Interest, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and management fees from the Allegheny
Master Trust are included in the net gain from interest in Allegheny Master Trust on the statements
of changes in net assets available for benefits.
4. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated August 4,
2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the
Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this issuance of the
determination letter, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in
conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes that the
Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore,
believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.

5. Parties-in-Interest
Dreyfus Corporation is the manager of the Dreyfus Mutual Funds that are offered as investment
options under this Plan. Dreyfus Service Corporation is the funds distributor. Dreyfus Corporation
and Dreyfus Service Corporation are both wholly owned subsidiaries of Mellon Financial Corporation.
Mellon Financial Corporation also owns Mellon Bank, N.A., the trustee for this Plan. Therefore,
transactions with these entities qualify as party-in-interest transactions.
6. Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the employing companies have the right under the
Plan to discontinue their contributions at any time and to terminate their respective participation
in the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. However, no such action may deprive any
participant or beneficiary under the Plan of any vested right.
7. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various
risk such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with
certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of
investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect
participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available
for benefits.
8. Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500
The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements
