SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
RTI International Metals, Inc. (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RTI International
Metals, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated. The financial information presented reflects
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
the interim periods presented. The financial statements should be read in
conjunction with accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial
statements included in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The
results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the year.
Beginning with the first quarter of 2003, RTI changed its segment reporting
structure to represent its current method of marketing and selling products.
Segment information for the prior period contained in these financial statements
has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
NOTE 2--ORGANIZATION
RTI International Metals, Inc. is a leading U.S. producer of titanium mill
products and fabricated metal parts for the global market. The Company conducts
business in two segments: the Titanium Group and the Fabrication and
Distribution Group. The Titanium Group melts and produces a complete range of
titanium mill products, which are further processed by its customers for use in
a variety of commercial, aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. The
Fabrication and Distribution Group is comprised of companies that process and
distribute titanium and other specialty metals. Its products, many of which are
engineered parts and assemblies, serve aerospace, oil and gas, power generation,
and chemical process industries, as well as a number of other industrial and
consumer markets.
On September 30, 1998, the shareholders of the Company's now wholly-owned
subsidiary RMI Titanium Company ("RMI") approved a proposal to reorganize into a
holding company structure (the "1998 Reorganization"). Pursuant to this
reorganization, the Company became the parent company of RMI, and shares of RMI
common stock were automatically exchanged on a one-for-one (1:1) basis for
shares of RTI. Shares of RTI began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on
October 1, 1998.
The Company is a successor to entities that have been operating in the
titanium industry since 1951. In 1990, USX Corporation ("USX") and Quantum
Chemical Corporation ("Quantum") transferred their entire ownership interest in
RMI's immediate predecessor, RMI Company, an Ohio general partnership, to the
Company in exchange for shares of the Company's common stock (the "1990
Reorganization"). Quantum sold its shares of common stock to the public while
USX retained ownership of its shares.
In November, 1996, USX completed a public offering of its 6 3/4% notes
(the "Notes") which were exchangeable in February, 2000, for 5,483,600 shares of
RTI common stock owned by USX. On February 1, 2000, the trustee under the note
indenture delivered 5,483,600 of RTI common stock to the note holders in
exchange for the Notes terminating USX's ownership interest in RTI.
NOTE 3--STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD PLANS
1995 STOCK PLAN
The 1995 Stock Plan, which was approved by a vote of the Company's
shareholders at the 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, replaced both the 1989
Stock Option Incentive Plan and the 1989 Employee Restricted Stock Award Plan.
The Plan permits the grant of any or all of the following types of awards in any
combination: a) stock options; b) stock appreciation rights; and c) restricted
stock. The plan does not permit the granting of
6
options with exercise prices that are less than the market value on the date the
options are granted. A committee appointed by the Board of Directors administers
the Plan, and determines the type or types of grants to be made under the Plan
and sets forth in each such Grant the terms, conditions and limitations
applicable to it, including, in certain cases, provisions relating to a possible
change in control of the Company.
During the first quarter of 2003, 207,750 option shares were granted at an
exercise price of $10.22. All option exercise prices were equal to the common
stock's fair market value on the date of the grant. Options are for a term of
ten years from the date of the grant, and vest ratably over the three-year
period beginning with the date of the grant. 207,750 of the option shares
granted in 2003 were outstanding at June 30, 2003.
During the first quarter of 2003, 75,220 shares of restricted stock were
granted under the 1995 Stock Plan. Compensation expense equal to the fair market
value on the date of the grant is recognized ratably over the vesting period of
each grant which is typically five years.
As permitted by the provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (SFAS No. 123), the Company has elected to measure stock-based
compensation under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB No. 25), and to adopt the
disclosure-only alternative described in SFAS No. 123. For restricted stock
awards, the Company records deferred stock-based compensation based on the fair
market value of common stock on the date of the award. Such deferred stock-based
compensation is amortized over the vesting period of each individual award.
If compensation expense for the Company's stock options granted had been
determined based on the fair value at the grant date for the awards in
accordance with SFAS No. 123, the effect on the Company's net income and
earnings per share for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002
would have been as follows (dollars in thousands):

Included in the Company's income for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and
2002 is stock-based compensation expense amounting to $0.2 million. For the six
months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, stock-based compensation expense was $0.4
million.
NOTE 4--INCOME TAXES
In the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded an income tax
expense of $3.3 million, or 38% of pre-tax income compared to an expense of $7.3
million, or 39% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The effective tax rate
for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 of 38% and June 30, 2002 of 39%
exceeded the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of state income
taxes.

A reconciliation of the income and weighted average number of outstanding

employee stock options have been excluded from the calculation of diluted

and 1,131,254 and 914,177 have been excluded from the calculation of diluted
earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, because the exercise price of the options exceeded the weighted
average market price of the Company's common stock during those periods.

NOTE 7--BILLINGS IN EXCESS OF COSTS AND ESTIMATED REVENUES
The Company reported a liability for billings in excess of costs and
estimated revenues of $3.7 million as of June 30, 2003 and $2.4 million as of
December 31, 2002. These amounts primarily represent payments, received in
advance from energy market customers on long-term orders, which the Company has
not recognized as revenues. The increase reflects the Company's receipt of cash
payments in advance of work completed on additional long-term orders.

(1) These gains were financial settlements from Boeing Airplane Group relating
to Boeing's failure to meet minimum order requirements under terms of a
long-term agreement between RTI and Boeing.
(2) These gains were due to the receipt of a common stock distribution in
connection with the demutualization of one of the Company's insurance
carriers.
(3) Included in these amounts is a $1.0 million gain on the sale of one of the
Company's Ashtabula, Ohio facilities that in recent years had only been used
for storage of raw materials.
NOTE 9--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In connection with the 1990 Reorganization, the Company agreed to indemnify
USX and Quantum against liabilities related to their ownership of RMI and its
immediate predecessor, Reactive Metals, Inc., which was formed by USX and
Quantum in 1964.
From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation relating to claims
arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. Given the
critical nature of many of the aerospace end uses for the Company's products,
including specifically their use in critical rotating parts of gas turbine
engines, the Company maintains aircraft products liability insurance of $250
million, which includes grounding liability.
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations as well as
various health and safety laws and regulations that are subject to frequent
modifications and revisions. While the costs of compliance for these matters
have not had a material adverse impact on the Company in the past, it is
impossible to predict accurately the ultimate effect these changing laws and
regulations may have on the Company in the future. The Company continues to
evaluate its obligations for environmental related costs on a quarterly basis
and makes adjustments in accordance with provisions of Statement of Position No.
96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities".
The Company is involved in investigative or cleanup projects under federal
or state environmental laws at a number of waste disposal sites, including the
Fields Brook Superfund Site and the Ashtabula Area of Concern. Given the status
of the proceedings with respect to these sites, ultimate investigative and
remediation costs cannot presently be accurately predicted, but could, in the
aggregate be material. Based on the information available regarding the current
ranges of estimated remediation costs at currently active sites, and what the
Company believes will be its ultimate share of such costs, provisions for
environmental-related costs have been recorded.
At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the amount accrued for future
environmental-related costs was $1.7 million. Of the total amount accrued at
June 30, 2003, $0.3 million is expected to be paid out within one year and is
included in the Other accrued liabilities line of the balance sheet. The
remaining $1.4 million is recorded in Other non current liabilities. Based on
available information, RMI believes its share of potential environmental-related
costs, before expected contributions from third parties, is in a range from $3.0
million to $7.3 million, in the aggregate. The amount accrued is net of expected
contributions from third parties (other than insurers) of approximately $0.5 to
$1.9 million, which the Company believes are probable. The Company has
9
been receiving contributions from such third parties for a number of years as
partial reimbursement for costs incurred by the Company. As these proceedings
continue toward final resolution, amounts in excess of those already provided
may be necessary to discharge the Company from its obligations for these
projects.
Gain Contingency
As part of Boeing Commercial Airplane Group's long-term supply agreement
with the Company, Boeing was required to order a minimum of 3.25 million pounds
of titanium in each of the five years beginning in 1999. They failed to do so
for 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002, ordering 0.9 million pounds, 1.1 million pounds,
0.9 million pounds, and 0.5 million pounds, respectively.
The Company made claim against Boeing in accordance with the provisions of
the long-term contract for each of the years in which the minimum was not
achieved. Revenue under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 5 ("SFAS No. 5"), "Accounting for Contingencies" was deemed not
realized until Boeing settled the claims. Accordingly, the claims were treated
as a gain contingency dependent upon realization.
As a result of the application of SFAS No. 5 as to gain contingencies, the
Company recorded revenue of approximately $6 million in 2000 and 2001, and
approximately $7 million in 2002, for each of the preceding years claims upon
receipt of the cash. The Company recognized approximately $8 million in the
first quarter of 2003 when Boeing satisfied the claim for 2002. In all years,
revenue recognized from these cash receipts was presented as other income in the
financial statements.
OTHER
The Company is also the subject of, or a party to, a number of other
pending or threatened legal actions involving a variety of matters incidental to
its business.
The ultimate resolution of these foregoing contingencies could,
individually or in the aggregate, be material to the consolidated financial
statements. However, management believes that the Company will remain a viable
and competitive enterprise even though it is possible that these matters could
be resolved unfavorably.
NOTE 10--SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company's reportable operating segments are the Titanium Group and the
Fabrication and Distribution Group.
The Titanium Group manufactures and sells a wide range of titanium mill
products to a customer base consisting primarily of manufacturing and
fabrication companies in the aerospace and nonaerospace markets. Titanium mill
products consist of basic mill shapes such as ingot, slab, bloom, billet, bar,
plate and sheet. Titanium mill products are sold primarily to customers such as
metal fabricators, forge shops and, to a lesser extent, metal distribution
companies. Titanium mill products are usually raw or starting material for these
customers, who then form, fabricate or further process mill products into
finished or semi-finished components or parts. The Titanium Group includes the
activities related to the clean up and remediation of a former titanium
extrusion facility operated by the Company under a contract from the U.S.
Department of Energy.
The Fabrication and Distribution Group is engaged primarily in the
fabrication of titanium, specialty metals and steel products, including pipe and
engineered tubular products, for use in the oil and gas and geo-thermal energy
industries; hot and superplastically formed parts; cut, forged, extruded and
rolled shapes; and commercially pure titanium strip and welded tube for
aerospace and nonaerospace applications. This segment also provides warehousing,
distribution, finishing, cut-to-size and just-in-time delivery services of
titanium, steel and other metal products.
Intersegment sales are accounted for at prices which are generally
established by reference to similar transactions with unaffiliated customers.
Reportable segments are measured based on segment operating income after an
allocation of certain corporate items such as general corporate overhead and
expenses.
10
On January 1, 2003 the Company realigned its two operating segments to
better reflect its strategy for achieving higher value-added sales. Prior period
information presented herein has been restated to reflect this realignment.
Included in the realignment was the transfer from the Titanium Group to the
Fabrication and Distribution Group of the Company's commercially pure products
business, grinding operations at the Company's Washington, MO., facility and
marketing and sales responsibility for most sheet and plate products.

NOTE 11--NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 ("SFAS No. 143"),
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 prescribes the
accounting for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived
assets, including: (1) the timing of liability recognition; (2) initial
measurement of the liability; (3) allocation of the cost of the obligation to
expense; (4) measurement and recognition of subsequent changes to the liability;
and (5) financial statement disclosures. SFAS No. 143 requires that an asset
retirement cost be capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived
asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational
method. The standard is required to be adopted in fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2002. At adoption, any transition adjustment required will be reported
as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The Company adopted
this standard in the first quarter of 2003 and it did not result in a material
adjustment to the financial statements.
11
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 146 ("SFAS No. 146"), "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs
associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Under EITF Issue 94-3, a liability for an
exit activity was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit
plan. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit
or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. SFAS No. 146
is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December
31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 will impact the timing of the recognition of costs
associated with an exit or disposal activity but is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 148 ("SFAS No. 148"), "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." SFAS 148 amends current disclosure
requirements and requires prominent disclosures on both annual and interim
financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. This
statement is effective for financial reports containing financial statements for
interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. See Note 3 for the
disclosures required by this standard.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"),
"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN 45 requires that upon
issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair
value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. FIN 45 also requires
additional disclosures by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial
statements about the obligations associated with guarantees issued. The
disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or
annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The recognition and measurement
provisions are effective on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified
after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this interpretation is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 provides guidance on the
identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other
than through voting rights, variable interest entities, and how to determine
when and which business enterprises should consolidate variable interest
entities. This interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities
created after January 31, 2003. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim
period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an
enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003.
The adoption of this interpretation will not have an impact on the Company.
In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 149 ("SFAS No. 149"), "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting
and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS
No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003,
with some exceptions. The adoption of this standard will not have a material
impact on the Company.
In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 150 ("SFAS No. 150"), "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity," which requires that an issuer
classify financial instruments that are within scope of SFAS No. 150 as a
liability. Under prior guidance, these same instruments would be classified as
equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or
modified after May 31, 2003. Otherwise, it is effective on July 1, 2003. The
Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 150 will have a material
effect on its financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following discussion should be read in connection with the information
contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements. The following information contains
12
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are subject to the safe harbor created by
that Act. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of
words like "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "projects," or other words of
similar meaning. Forward-looking statements are based on expectations and
assumptions regarding future events. In addition to factors discussed throughout
this report, the following factors and risks should also be considered,
including, without limitation, statements regarding the future availability and
prices of raw materials, competition in the titanium industry, demand for the
Company's products, the historic cyclicality of the titanium and aerospace
industries, increased defense spending, the success of new market development,
long-term supply agreements, the outcome of proposed "Buy American" legislation,
global economic conditions, the Company's order backlog and the conversion of
that backlog into revenue, the outcome of upcoming labor contract negotiations,
the long-term impact of the events of September 11, and the continuing war on
terrorism, and other statements contained herein that are not historical facts.
Because such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there
are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These and other
risk factors are set forth below in the "Outlook" section, as well as in the
Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") over
the last 12 months, copies of which are available from the SEC or may be
obtained upon request from the Company.
Beginning with the first quarter of 2003, RTI changed its segment reporting
structure to represent its current method of marketing and selling products.
Segment information for the prior period has been reclassified to conform to the
current period presentation.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
NET SALES
Net sales decreased to $49.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
2003 compared to net sales of $72.9 million in the corresponding 2002 period.
Sales for the Company's Titanium Group amounted to $40.8 million, including
intercompany sales of $27.0 million, in the three months ended June 30, 2003
compared to $56.7 million, including intercompany sales of $32.9 million, in the
same period of 2002. Titanium Group net sales decreased as a result of a
decrease in mill product shipments, partially offset by higher average realized
prices as product mix shifted to higher value-added rolled products. Shipments
of titanium mill products were 1.4 million pounds in the three months ended June
30, 2003, compared to 2.8 million pounds for the same period in 2002. Mill
product shipments in the three months ended June 30, 2003 were lower than those
in 2002 as demand for forged mill products for aerospace markets declined.
Included in mill product shipments are intersegment shipments from the Titanium
Group to the Fabrication and Distribution Group (F&D). Shipments to F&D
decreased over the same period last year, reflecting reduced commercial activity
in the F&D segment and the Company's intentional inventory reduction efforts.
Average realized prices on mill products for the three months ended June 30,
2003 increased to $16.60 per pound from $14.94 per pound in 2002. The increase
in average realized prices for mill products resulted primarily from an
increased mix of higher value-added rolled mill products when compared to 2002.
Sales for the Company's Fabrication and Distribution Group amounted to $38.4
million, including intercompany sales of $3.1 million, in the three months ended
June 30, 2003, compared to $52.6 million, including intercompany sales of $3.5
million, in the same period of 2002. This decrease primarily reflects reduced
energy market sales due to the absence of completed energy-related projects in
the quarter, as well as reduced demand in distribution sales in the United
States and Europe.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit amounted to $8.5 million, or 17.4% of sales for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 compared to a gross profit of $14.5 million or 19.9%
for the comparable 2002 period. Gross margin declined as a result of the decline
in mill product shipments, the absence of completed energy-related projects and
reduced volume in domestic and European distribution sales.
13
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $7.6 million or
15.5% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $8.5
million or 11.6% of sales for the same period in 2002. The decrease is comprised
of several items. The most significant of these items was a reduction in certain
employee compensation expenses of $0.3 million. The remainder of the decrease
reflects the impact of cost reduction efforts including reductions in personnel
and related costs.
RESEARCH, TECHNICAL AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research, technical and product development expenses amounted to $0.3
million in 2003, compared to $0.3 million in 2002.
OPERATING INCOME
Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $0.6
million, or 1.2% of sales compared to operating income of $5.7 million, or 7.8%
of sales, in the same period of 2002. This decline consists of a decrease in
operating income from the Titanium Group, from $4.3 million in 2002 to $1.3
million in 2003, equal to $3.0 million primarily due to a decrease in mill
product shipments. The overall decrease is also due to a decline in operating
income in F&D, from $1.4 million of income in 2002 to a $0.7 million loss in
2003, equal to $2.1 million due to an absence of completed energy-related
projects and a continued decrease in demand in domestic and European
distribution sales.
OTHER INCOME
Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002
amounted to $1.2 and $0.1 million, respectively. The increase in other income
primarily reflects a $1.0 million gain on the sale of one of the Company's
Ashtabula, Ohio facilities in the second quarter of 2003 that in recent years
had only been used for storage of raw materials.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002
amounted to $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Interest expense for
both periods are primarily the result of fees associated with the unused
capacity on the Company's credit facility. The Company had no bank debt at June
30, 2003 and 2002.
INCOME TAXES
In the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded an income tax
expense of $0.6 million compared to a $2.2 million expense recorded in the same
period in 2002. The effective tax rate of 38% for the three months ended June
30, 2003 and 39% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was greater than the
federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes.
NET INCOME
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $1.0
million or 2.1% of sales, compared to $3.5 million or 4.7% of sales in the
comparable 2002 period. This decline consists of a decrease in operating income
from the Titanium Group primarily due to a decrease in mill product shipments.
This decline was partially offset by the $0.6 million after tax gain on the
asset sale described in "Other Income". The overall decrease is also due to a
decline in operating income in F&D due to an absence of completed energy-related
projects and a continued decrease in demand in domestic and European
distribution sales.
14
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
NET SALES
Net sales decreased to $107.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
2003 compared to net sales of $138.6 million in the corresponding 2002 period.
Sales for the Company's Titanium Group amounted to $73.5 million, including
intercompany sales of $45.5 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2003
compared to $106.9 million, including intercompany sales of $61.3 million, in
the same period of 2002. Titanium Group net sales decreased as a result of a
decrease in mill product shipments, partially offset by higher average realized
prices as product mix shifted to higher value-added rolled products. Shipments
of titanium mill products were 2.8 million pounds in the six months ended June
30, 2003, compared to 5.6 million pounds for the same period in 2002. Mill
product shipments in the six months ended June 30, 2003 were lower than those in
2002 as demand for forged mill products for commercial aerospace markets
declined. Included in mill product shipments are intersegment shipments from the
Titanium Group to the Fabrication and Distribution Group (F&D). Shipments to F&D
decreased over the same period last year reflecting reduced demand for titanium
products through F&D as well as intentional inventory reductions within certain
F&D businesses. Average realized prices on mill products for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 increased to $16.58 per pound from $14.09 per pound in 2002.
The increase in average realized prices for mill products resulted primarily
from an increased mix of higher value-added rolled mill products when compared
to 2002. Sales for the Company's Fabrication and Distribution Group amounted to
$84.4 million, including intercompany sales of $4.9 million, in the six months
ended June 30, 2003, compared to $100.3 million, including intercompany sales of
$7.3 million, in the same period of 2002. This decrease primarily reflects a
decrease in energy market sales due to the absence of completed energy-related
projects in the second quarter of 2003, as well as reduced demand in
fabrication, and U.S. and European distribution sales.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit amounted to $14.9 million, or 13.9% of sales for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 compared to a gross profit of $28.3 million or 20.4%
for the comparable 2002 period. Gross margin declined as a result of the decline
in mill product shipments, the absence of completed energy-related projects in
the second quarter of 2003, as well as reduced volume in fabrication, and U.S.
and European distribution sales.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $15.3 million or
14.2% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $17.5 million
or 12.6% of sales for the same period in 2002. The decrease is comprised of
several items. The most significant of these items was a reduction in certain
employee benefit liabilities of $0.6 million and a reduction in certain employee
compensation expenses of $0.6 million. The remainder of the decrease reflects
the impact of cost reduction efforts including reductions in personnel and
related costs.
RESEARCH, TECHNICAL AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research, technical and product development expenses amounted to $0.7
million in 2003 and 2002.
OPERATING INCOME
An operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $1.0
million, or 0.9% of sales compared to operating income of $10.0 million, or 7.2%
of sales, in the same period of 2002. This decline consists of a decrease in
operating income from the Titanium Group, from $8.7 million of income in 2002 to
a loss of $2.1 million in 2003, equal to $10.8 million primarily due to a
decrease in mill product shipments. This decrease is also partially due to a
decrease in operating income in F&D, from $1.3 million in 2002 to $1.1 million
in 2003, equal to $0.2 million due to the absence of completed energy-related
projects in the second quarter of 2003, as well as a decrease in demand in
fabrication, and U.S. and European distribution sales.
15
OTHER INCOME
Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002
amounted to $10.0 and $9.1 million, respectively. In 2003, other income reflects
the receipt of liquidated damages from the Boeing Airplane Group of $8.4 million
and a $1.0 million gain on the sale of one of the Company's Ashtabula, Ohio
facilities that in recent years had only been used for storage of raw materials.
In 2002, other income reflects the receipt of $7.1 million of liquidated damages
from the Boeing Airplane Group and a $2.1 million gain from the receipt of a
common stock distribution in connection with the demutualization of one of the
Company's insurance carriers.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002
amounted to $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Interest expense for
both periods are primarily the result of fees associated with the unused
capacity on the Company's credit facility. The Company had no bank debt at June
30, 2003 and 2002.
INCOME TAXES
In the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded an income tax
expense of $3.3 million compared to a $7.3 million expense recorded in the same
period in 2002. The effective tax rate of 38% for the six months ended June 30,
2003 and 39% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was greater than the federal
statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes.
NET INCOME
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $5.3 million
or 5.0% of sales, compared to $11.5 million or 8.3% of sales in the comparable
2002 period. This decline consists of a decrease in operating income from the
Titanium Group primarily due to a decrease in mill product shipments. This
decline was partially offset by the $0.6 million after tax gain on the asset
sale described in "Other Income". This decrease is also partially due to a
decrease in operating income in F&D due to the absence of completed
energy-related projects in the second quarter of 2003, as well as a decrease in
demand in fabrication, and U.S. and European distribution sales.
OUTLOOK
Weak U.S. and global economics continue to have significant adverse
influence on overall business conditions. More specifically, several events such
as the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the worldwide outbreak of Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome ("SARS"), and conflict in the Middle East continue to
place downward pressure on commercial aerospace.
Commercial Aerospace Markets
The largest impact of these events has been on commercial aerospace
markets, which provided approximately 30% of RTI's sales in 2002. Airline
operators experienced a dramatic drop in travel immediately following September
11, 2001, which resulted in significant losses within their industry causing a
reduced demand for new aircraft. The primary builders of large commercial
aircraft, Boeing and Airbus, reduced their 2002 build rates by approximately 20%
to reflect the expected change in demand. The exact magnitude of the downturn on
commercial aerospace remains uncertain for 2003, but it will be further
exacerbated by conflict in the Middle East and the outbreak of SARS affecting
world travel, particularly to and from the Far East. Latest estimates from
Airbus and Boeing indicate that their build rates may drop an additional 15% in
2003.
Titanium mill products that are ordered by the prime aircraft producers and
their subcontractors are generally ordered in advance of final aircraft
production by six to eighteen months. This is due to the time it takes to
produce a final assembly or part that is ready for installation in an airframe
or jet engine. Given reduced activity by aircraft builders, it is expected that
shipments from RTI to this market sector will be reduced in 2003.
16
The effect of the reduction in commercial aircraft demand on RTI will be
partially mitigated by the long-term agreement RMI entered into with Boeing on
January 28, 1998. Under this agreement, RMI supplies Boeing and its family of
commercial suppliers with up to 4.5 million pounds of titanium products
annually. The agreement, which began in 1999, has an initial term of five years
and concludes at the end of 2003. Under the accord, Boeing receives firm prices
in exchange for RMI receiving a minimum volume commitment of 3.25 million pounds
per year. If volumes fall short of the minimum commitment, the contract contains
provisions for financial compensation. In accordance with the agreement, and as
a result of volume shortfalls in 1999, 2000, and 2001, Boeing settled claims of
approximately $6 million in both 2000 and 2001 and $7 million in 2002. The claim
for 2002 was settled during the first quarter of 2003 for approximately $8
million. Given the state of the commercial aircraft industry, it is not expected
that Boeing will meet the minimum in 2003, the final year of the contract, and
accordingly, a similar payment will be called for in early 2004. Beginning in
January of 2004, business between the companies not covered by other contracts
will be conducted on a non-committed basis, that is, no volume commitment by
Boeing and no commitment of capacity or price by RMI.
RTI, through its RTI Europe subsidiary, entered into an agreement with the
European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company ("EADS") in April 2002 to supply
value-added titanium products and parts to the EADS group of companies,
including Airbus. The contract is in place through 2004, subject to extension.
Beginning in 2003, Airbus is expected to become the world's largest producer of
commercial aircraft.
Defense Markets
The importance of military markets to RTI, approximately 30% of 2002
revenues, is expected to rise in 2003 and beyond due to increased defense
budgets, and increased hardware purchases by the U.S. Government, partially
brought about by the events of September 11, 2001 and the war in Iraq. It is
estimated that overall titanium consumption will be increased within this market
in 2003 globally, but it is not expected to completely offset the decrease
caused by the drop in the commercial aerospace market. RTI believes it is well
positioned to provide mill products and fabrications to this market if increased
consumption is required to support defense needs. RTI supplies titanium and
other materials to most military aerospace programs, including the F-22, C-17,
F/A-18, F-15, F-16, Joint Strike Fighter ("JSF") (F-35) and in Europe, the
Mirage, Rafale and Eurofighter-Typhoon.
The Company was chosen by BAE Systems RO Defence UK to supply the titanium
components for the new XM-777 lightweight 155 mm Howitzer. Delivery is expected
to begin in 2003 and continue through 2010. Initial deliveries will be to the
U.S. Marine Corps, followed by deliveries to the U.S. Army and the Italian and
British armed forces. It is anticipated that over 1,000 guns may be produced.
Sales under this contract could potentially exceed $70 million.
Lockheed Martin, a major customer of the Company, was awarded the largest
military contract ever on October 26, 2001, for the military's $200 billion JSF
program. The aircraft, which will be used by all branches of the military, is
expected to consume 25,000 to 30,000 pounds of titanium per airplane. Timing and
order patterns, which are likely to extend well into the future for this
program, have not been quantified, but may be as many as 3,000 to 6,000 planes
over the next 30 to 40 years. The Company has entered into agreements with
Lockheed and its teaming partner, BAE Systems, to be the supplier of titanium
sheet and plate for the design and development phase of the program over the
next five years.
Industrial and Consumer Markets
40% of RTI's 2002 revenues were generated in various industrial and
consumer markets, where business conditions are expected to be mixed over the
next twelve to eighteen months.
Revenues from oil and gas markets achieved new highs for RTI in 2002, and
forecasts for 2003 indicate continued strong demand, due to the increase in deep
water projects predicted over the next several years. Despite the weak economy,
the Company believes that deep-water oil and gas exploration will continue at an
accelerated pace for the next several years.

In April 2002, RTI Energy Systems, Inc. was selected by Unocal to provide
production riser equipment in connection with their West Seno project off the
coast of Indonesia. RTI is providing the high-fatigue riser engineering design,
in addition to the manufacture of components using a combination of titanium and
steel. This project, which was completed in the first quarter of 2003, is
expected to lead to other opportunities in Indonesia over the next several
years.
In addition to the growing applications in energy extraction, RTI serves a
number of other industrial and consumer markets through its distribution
businesses. The products sold and applications served are numerous and varied.
The resulting diversity tends to provide sales stability through varying market
conditions, so the Company expects little overall change in sales and
profitability from this sector of RTI's business over the next twelve months.
The weak economy has negatively affected other RTI industrial and consumer
markets, such as chemical processing, power generation and pulp and paper.
However, the Company believes the industry is at or near the trough of weak
demand from many of these markets, and as economic conditions improve, so will
RTI's revenues from these markets.
BACKLOG
The Company's order backlog for all markets decreased to $96.8 million as
of June 30, 2003, from $100.0 million at December 31, 2002, principally due to a
reduction in demand for titanium mill products from commercial aerospace
markets. However, the backlog increased approximately $8.0 since March 31, 2003
primarily due to increases in energy-related orders.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash flows from operating activities totaled $15.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2003, and $18.4 million for the same period in 2002. Net
cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003, when compared
to the six months ended June 30, 2002, reflect approximately $6.2 million less
net income, offset by reduced increases in working capital and other balance
sheet line items of $4.0 million. At June 30, 2003, working capital and other
balance sheet line items had decreased $4.0 million from December 31, 2002
balances, compared to the same period in 2002 which reflected a decrease of only
$0.1 million. The Company's working capital ratio was 10.4 to 1 at June 30,
2003, compared to 9.4 at December 31, 2002.
The Company used $1.9 million of cash in investing and financing activities
in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $3.5 million in 2002. Gross
capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $3.2
million compared to $2.6 million in 2002. In both periods, capital spending
primarily reflected equipment additions and improvements as well as information
systems projects. Partially offsetting the capital expenditures in 2003 were
proceeds of $1.4 million relating to the sale of one of the Company's Ashtabula,
Ohio facilities. The cash used in 2002 also reflects $0.7 million related to
administrative fees the Company incurred when it entered into its revolving
credit facility in April of 2002.
During the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company's cash flow
requirements for capital expenditures were funded with cash provided by
operations. The Company anticipates that its capital expenditures for 2003 will
total $9.2 million and will be funded with cash generated by operations.
At June 30, 2003, the Company had a borrowing capacity equal to $76.4
million.
On September 9, 1999, RTI filed a universal shelf registration with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. This registration permits RTI to issue up to
$100 million of debt and/or equity securities at an unspecified future date. The
proceeds of any such issuance could be utilized to finance acquisitions, capital
investments or other general purposes; however, RTI has not issued any
securities to date and has no immediate plans to do so.
While there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate
sufficient cash flow from operations to fund its operations and capital
expenditures in 2003, the Company believes it can maintain adequate liquidity
through a combination of cash reserves and available borrowing capacity. Also,
as RTI currently has no debt, and
18
based on the expected strength of 2003 cash flows, the Company does not believe
there is any material near-term risks relating to fluctuations in interest
rates.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
Following is a summary of the Company's contractual obligations and other
commercial commitments as of June 30, 2003 (dollars in thousands):

The Company's other commercial commitments at June 30, 2003 represent
standby letters of credit primarily related to commercial performance and
insurance guarantees.
CREDIT AGREEMENT
At June 30, 2003, the Company maintained a credit agreement entered into on
April 26, 2002, which provides a $100 million three-year unsecured revolving
credit facility. This agreement replaced the previously existing $100 million
five-year unsecured revolving credit facility entered into September 30, 1998.
The Company can borrow up to the lesser of $100 million or a borrowing base
equal to the sum of 85% of qualifying accounts receivable and 60% of qualifying
inventory.
Under the terms of the facility, the Company, at its option, will be able
to borrow at (a) a base rate (which is the higher of PNC Bank's prime rate or
the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% per annum), or (b) LIBOR plus a
spread (ranging from 1.0% to 2.25%) determined by the ratio of the Company's
consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization. The credit agreement contains restrictions, among
others, on the minimum shareholders' equity required, the minimum cash flow
required, and the maximum leverage ratio permitted. At June 30, 2003, there was
$2.5 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the facility, the
Company was in compliance with all covenants, and had a borrowing capacity equal
to $76.4 million.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations as well as
various health and safety laws and regulations that are subject to frequent
modifications and revisions. While the costs of compliance for these matters
have not had a material adverse impact on the Company in the past, it is
impossible to predict accurately the ultimate effect these changing laws and
regulations may have on the Company in the future.
At June 30, 2003 and 2002, the amount accrued for future
environmental-related costs was $1.7 million. Of the total amount accrued at
June 30, 2003, $0.3 million is expected to be paid out within one year and is
included in the Other accrued liabilities line of the balance sheet. The
remaining $1.4 million is recorded in Other non current liabilities. Based on
available information, RMI believes its share of potential environmental-related
costs, before expected contributions from third parties, is in a range from $3.0
million to $7.3 million, in the aggregate. The amount accrued is net of expected
contributions from third parties (other than insurers) of approximately
19
$0.5 to $1.9 million, which the Company believes are probable. The Company has
been receiving contributions from such third parties for a number of years as
partial reimbursement for costs incurred by the Company. As these proceedings
continue toward final resolution, amounts in excess of those already provided
may be necessary to discharge the Company from its obligations for these
projects.
The ultimate resolution of these environmental matters could, individually
or in the aggregate, be material to the consolidated financial statements.
However, management believes that the Company will remain a viable and
competitive enterprise even though it is possible that these matters could be
resolved unfavorably.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 2003, the Company and its subsidiaries employed 1,161
persons, 420 of whom were classified as administrative and sales personnel. 708
of the total number of employees were in the Titanium Group, while 453 were
employed in the Fabrication and Distribution Group.
The United Steelworkers of America represents 367 of the hourly clerical
and technical employees at RMI's plant in Niles, Ohio and 14 hourly employees at
RMI Environmental Services in Ashtabula, Ohio. No other Company employees are
represented by a union.
In 1999 the Company and the United Steel Workers of America, after a
strike, agreed to a forty-two month contract which expires in October, 2003. The
contract for the hourly employees at the facilities in Ashtabula expires in
January, 2006.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 ("SFAS No. 143"),
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 prescribes the
accounting for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived
assets, including: (1) the timing of liability recognition; (2) initial
measurement of the liability; (3) allocation of the cost of the obligation to
expense; (4) measurement and recognition of subsequent changes to the liability;
and (5) financial statement disclosures. SFAS No. 143 requires that an asset
retirement cost be capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived
asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational
method. The standard is required to be adopted in fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2002. At adoption, any transition adjustment required will be reported
as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The Company adopted
this standard in the first quarter of 2003 and it did not result in a material
adjustment to the financial statements.
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 146 ("SFAS No. 146"), "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs
associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Under EITF Issue 94-3, a liability for an
exit activity was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit
plan. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit
or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. SFAS No. 146
is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December
31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 will impact the timing of the recognition of costs
associated with an exit or disposal activity but is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 148 ("SFAS No. 148"), "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." SFAS 148 amends current disclosure
requirements and requires prominent disclosures on both annual and interim
financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. This
statement is effective for financial reports containing financial statements for
interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. See Note 3 for the
disclosures required by this standard.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"),
"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN 45 requires that upon
issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair
value of the
20
obligation it assumes under that guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional
disclosures by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about
the obligations associated with guarantees issued. The disclosure requirements
are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after
December 15, 2002. The recognition and measurement provisions are effective on a
prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The
adoption of this interpretation is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 provides guidance on the
identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other
than through voting rights, variable interest entities, and how to determine
when and which business enterprises should consolidate variable interest
entities. This interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities
created after January 31, 2003. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim
period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an
enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003.
The adoption of this interpretation will not have an impact on the Company.
In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 149 ("SFAS No. 149"), "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting
and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS
No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003,
with some exceptions. The adoption of this standard will not have a material
impact on the Company.
In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 150 ("SFAS No. 150"), "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity," which requires that an issuer
classify financial instruments that are within scope of SFAS No. 150 as a
liability. Under prior guidance, these same instruments would be classified as
equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or
modified after May 31, 2003. Otherwise, it is effective on July 1, 2003. The
Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 150 will have a material
effect on its financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no significant changes to the Company's exposure to market
risk since the Company filed its Form 10-K on March 12, 2003.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures

Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all
material information required to be filed in this quarterly report has been made
known to them in a timely fashion. In addition, there have been no significant
changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect those internal controls, including any corrective actions
with regard to significant differences and material weaknesses, subsequent to
the Evaluation Date.
