Item 2.02.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On October 14, 2013, Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release commenting on expected third quarter 2013 financial results and the restructuring of its Engineered Products segment. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is being furnished, not filed, under Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 2.05

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On October 14, 2013, the Company announced that it had completed a strategic review of its iron castings and fabricated components businesses. Based on current and forecasted results, these businesses were not projected to meet the Company’s expectations for return on capital employed. The closure of the fabricated components business will result in approximately $6.4 million of pre-tax exit costs that will be recognized in the Company’s third quarter ended September 30, 2013, including a $5.6 million non-cash asset impairment charge and $0.8 million primarily related to lease exit costs. The Company expects the cash requirements associated with lease-related exit costs to be approximately $3.8 – $4.3 million, to be incurred over the next four years.

The planned divestiture of the iron castings business, which is held for sale at September 30, 2013, resulted in a $3.1 million pre-tax, non-cash long-lived asset impairment charge based on an analysis of the estimated fair value of the business.
