Principal competitors for nickel-based alloys, superalloys, and specialty alloys produced by AA&S include Haynes International and VDM Metals GmbH, a subsidiary of Acerinox S.A.

**Raw Materials and Supplies**

Substantially all raw materials and supplies required in the manufacture of our products are available from more than one supplier, and the sources and availability of raw materials essential to our businesses are currently adequate. The principal raw materials we use in the production of our specialty materials are scrap (including iron-, nickel-, chromium-, titanium-, and molybdenum-bearing scrap), nickel, titanium sponge, zirconium sand and sponge, ferrochromium, ferrosilicon, molybdenum and molybdenum alloys, manganese and manganese alloys, cobalt, niobium, vanadium, hafnium and other alloying materials. While we enter into raw materials futures contracts from time to time to hedge exposure to price fluctuations, such as for nickel,

------

we cannot be certain that our hedge position adequately reduces exposure. We believe that we have adequate controls to monitor these contracts, but we may not be able to accurately assess exposure to price volatility in the markets for critical raw materials.

We source our raw materials through a variety of producers located throughout the world, including the United States (U.S.). The following is a summary of the primary source countries of raw materials that play an important role in our products:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Nickel: Canada, Norway, Japan, Finland, and South Africa.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Zirconium: U.S. and China.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Hafnium: U.S. and China.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cobalt: Norway and Japan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Chromium: the United Kingdom (U.K.), South Africa, Germany and Turkey.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Niobium: Brazil.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Molybdenum: U.S., Brazil, and China.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Titanium sponge: Japan, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, and China

Some raw materials, such as nickel, titanium sponge, cobalt, and ferrochromium, are mostly available from foreign sources in countries that may be subject to unstable political and economic conditions, which could disrupt supplies or affect the price of these materials. Further, changes in global trade policies could materially impact the total cost of imported materials.

Certain key supplies used in melting and other processing operations, such as graphite electrodes and industrial gases including helium and argon, are from time-to-time limited in availability and may be subject to significant price inflation. We enter into long-term supply contracts where possible to ensure an adequate supply of these products. However, overall industry shortages may impact our operations and scheduling.

**Export Sales and Foreign Operations**

International sales represent approximately 42% of our total annual sales, with direct export sales by our U.S.-based operations to customers in foreign countries accounting for approximately 34% of our total sales. Our overseas sales, marketing and distribution efforts are aided by our international marketing team or by independent representatives throughout the world. Changes in global trade policies may negatively impact our international sales if export or import tariffs increase the cost of our products.

Our HPMC segment has manufacturing capabilities for precision forging and machining in Poland, primarily serving the aerospace, construction & mining, and transportation markets. Within our AA&S segment, our Asian joint venture makes PRS products, which enables us to offer these products more effectively to markets in China and other Asian countries.

**Backlog, Seasonality and Cyclicality**

Our backlog of confirmed orders was approximately $3.7 billion at December 28, 2025 and $3.9 billion at December 29, 2024. We expect that approximately 70% of confirmed orders on hand at December 28, 2025 will be filled during fiscal year 2026. Our HPMC segment's backlog of confirmed orders was approximately $3.1 billion at December 28, 2025 and $3.3 billion at December 29, 2024. We expect that approximately 70% of the confirmed orders on hand at December 28, 2025 for this segment will be filled during fiscal year 2026. Our AA&S segment's backlog of confirmed orders was approximately $0.6 billion at December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024. We expect that approximately 90% the confirmed orders on hand at December 28, 2025 for this segment will be filled during fiscal year 2026.

Demand for our products is cyclical over longer periods because specialty materials customers generally operate in cyclical industries and are subject to changes in general economic conditions and other factors both external and internal to those industries. Historically, we have experienced modest seasonal weakness in the third quarter of each fiscal year. This is mostly due to planned outages by certain European customers, particularly those in the aerospace supply chain, that are typically scheduled for the late summer months each year.

**Research, Development and Technical Services**

We believe that our research and development capabilities give ATI a competitive advantage in developing new products and manufacturing processes that contribute to the long-term profitable growth potential of our businesses. We conduct research and development at our various operating locations both for ourselves and, on a limited basis, for customers on a contract basis. Research and development expenditures for the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023 included the following:

------

---

Our research, development and technical service activities are closely interrelated and directed toward development of new products, improvement of existing products, quality assurance, development of new manufacturing methods, improvement of existing manufacturing methods, and reducing our manufacturing costs.

We own hundreds of U.S. patents, many of which are also filed under the patent laws of other nations. Although these patents, as well as our numerous trademarks, technical information, license agreements, and other intellectual property, have been and are expected to be of value, we believe that the loss of any single such item or technically related group of such items would not materially affect the conduct of our business.

**Environmental, Health and Safety Matters**

We are subject to various domestic and international environmental laws and regulations that govern the discharge of pollutants and disposal of wastes, and which may require that we investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. We could incur substantial cleanup costs, fines, civil or criminal sanctions, third party property damage or personal injury claims as a result of violations or liabilities under these laws or non-compliance with environmental permits required at our facilities. We are currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of our current and former sites as well as third party sites.

We consider environmental compliance to be an integral part of our operations. We have a comprehensive environmental management and reporting program that focuses on compliance with applicable federal, state, regional and local environmental laws and regulations. Each operating company has an environmental management system that includes mechanisms for regularly evaluating environmental compliance and managing changes in business operations while assessing environmental impact.

Safety is one of our core values. We strive for a zero injury culture committed to the safety of our people, our products, and the communities in which we operate. Nearly all of our domestic employees are working in an ATI facility that has achieved its ISO 45001 certification.

**Human Capital Management**

We believe that our people and culture are a competitive differentiator. We attract, develop, and retain purpose and performance-driven leaders. Those leaders build teams with diverse, empowered and fulfilled employees who want to stay and grow with the company. As of December 28, 2025, we employed approximately 7,600 active employees, 15% of whom are located outside the U.S. across 15 countries.

*<u>Our Culture</u>*: At the center of our commitment to excellence are our values, which drive how we succeed: Accountability, Integrity, Innovation, Safety & Sustainability, and Teamwork & Respect.

We continuously strive to cultivate and support a highly engaged and productive workforce. We actively seek opportunities for listening and communication by our CEO and other senior executive leaders with our employees. Periodically, we conduct confidential company-wide engagement surveys that offer our employees the ability to provide feedback, which supports employee engagement and our overall human capital strategy.

Our long tradition of innovation and operational excellence demands the contributions of leaders and team members with a wide array of characteristics, backgrounds, experiences, knowledge, and skills. We believe our business success is intricately tied to cultivating a culture in which all members of our workforce are included and empowered to do their best work.

*<u>Governanc</u>*<u>e</u>: The Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of our Board oversees the Company's human capital management policies and procedures, including its workforce and professional development programs, and is responsible for establishing and administering the policies governing annual compensation and long-term compensation to ensure the policies are designed to align compensation with our overall business strategy and performance to link to the interests of our stockholders.

------

Our Code of Conduct establishes the baseline requirements of our integrity and compliance program and promotes an environment where everyone is treated ethically and with respect. It outlines our pledge to recognize the dignity of each individual, respect each employee, provide compensation and benefits that are competitive, promote self-development through training, and value diversity of perspectives and ideas. Employees complete Business Conduct and Ethics training and, where permitted by law, are asked to certify each year that they will comply with the Code.

*<u>Talent Acquisition</u>*: Our performance and development process is integrated in the ATI business strategy, and is a key component to recruiting, hiring, and developing top-performing talent. We believe in providing an assessment and interviewing process that encourages people from all backgrounds to consider ATI. We partner with top academic institutions that have programs relevant to our business, external professional organizations, trade schools and high schools to identify materials science, STEM and other relevant expertise.

*<u>Learning and Development</u>*: Developing talent and leaders at all levels of the organization is critical to our long-term success. We have leadership and management development programs as well as broad learning opportunities for our employees to support their career growth and advance their skills. We focus on growing top talent across the enterprise and enhancing Front Line Leader development. Additionally, we maintain a formal talent review process to work in connection with performance management for systematic career development and succession planning at both the individual employee and organizational levels.

*<u>Compensation and Benefits</u>*: We provide market-based competitive compensation through our salary, annual incentive and long-term incentive programs and robust benefits packages that promote the well-being of our employees across all aspects of their lives. Eligible employees are compensated for their contributions to achievement of our goals with both short-term cash incentives and long-term equity-based incentives. We believe the structure of our compensation packages provides the appropriate incentives to attract, retain, and motivate our employees.

Our well-being focus addresses physical, mental, financial, and individual needs, providing benefits and resources to help employees and their families be their best, both personally and professionally. We have implemented several campaigns to promote well-being and help provide visibility to resources and available benefits. We offer Employee Assistance Programs with therapy sessions to employees and family members, comprehensive mental health benefits to those enrolled in the U.S. medical plan, virtual mental health options and navigation tools to improve access and speed of care, and preventive/mental health resilience programs.

*<u>Labor Relations and Collective Bargaining</u>*: Approximately 35% of our workforce is covered by various collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), predominantly with the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied & Industrial Service Workers International Union (USW). On April 22, 2025, we reached agreements with the USW for new CBAs that cover approximately 1,100 USW represented full-time employees within our AA&S operations for a six-year term that extends through February 28, 2031.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors** 

There are inherent risks and uncertainties associated with our business that could adversely affect our operating performance and financial condition. Set forth below are descriptions of those risks and uncertainties that we currently believe to be material, but the risks and uncertainties described are not the only risks and uncertainties that could affect our business. See the discussion under "Forward-Looking Statements" in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

------

**<u>RISKS RELATED TO CYCLICAL NATURE OF OUR BUSINESS</u>**

***Cyclical Demand for Products.*** The cyclical nature of the industries in which our customers operate causes demand for our products to fluctuate, creating potential uncertainty regarding future profitability. Various changes in general economic conditions may affect the industries in which our customers operate. These changes could include decreases in the rate of consumption or use of our customers' products due to economic downturns. Other factors that may cause fluctuation in our customers' positions are changes in market demand, lower overall pricing due to domestic and international overcapacity, currency fluctuations, lower priced imports and increases in use or decreases in prices of substitute materials. As a result of these factors, our profitability has been and may in the future be subject to significant fluctuation.

***Risks Associated with the Commercial Aerospace Industry.*** A significant portion of our sales represent products sold to customers in the commercial aerospace industry. Fulfilling contractual arrangements to provide various products to customers in this industry often involves meeting highly exacting performance requirements and product specifications, and our failure to meet those requirements and specifications on a timely and cost-efficient basis could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business and financial condition. The commercial aerospace industry has historically been cyclical due to factors both external and internal to the airline industry. These factors include general economic conditions, airline profitability, consumer demand for air travel, varying fuel and labor costs, changes in projected build rates, price competition, and international and domestic political conditions such as military conflict and the threat of terrorism. The length and degree of cyclical fluctuation are influenced by these factors and therefore are difficult to predict with certainty. Demand for our products is subject to these cyclical trends. Cyclical and event-driven downturns in the commercial aerospace industry have had, and may in the future have, an adverse effect on the prices at which we are able to sell our products, and our results of operations, business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

***Risks Associated with Cyclicality in General Industrial Markets.*** Our exposure to general industrial markets is primarily in our AA&S segment, where we have sales to the oil and gas industry, automotive, food equipment & appliances and construction and mining markets. These markets tend to be highly cyclical and subject to volatility as a result of fluctuations in worldwide economic activity and associated demand, changes in applicable regulation, global geopolitical conditions and numerous other factors. Demand for our products, particularly within the AA&S segment, is subject to these trends, and in recent years, our business has at times been negatively impacted by depressed demand from general industrial markets. We expect that these end markets will remain highly cyclical. Future downturns in these markets could have an adverse effect on the prices at which we are able to sell our products, and our results of operations, business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

***Risks Associated with Product Pricing.*** From time-to-time, reduced demand, intense competition, and excess manufacturing capacity have resulted in reduced prices, excluding raw material surcharges, for many of our products. These factors, recent inflationary trends for certain critical raw material costs, and potential international trade actions, as discussed below, have had and may have an adverse impact on our revenues, operating results, and financial condition.

We change prices on certain of our products from time-to-time. Our ability to implement price increases is dependent on market conditions, economic factors, raw material costs and availability, competitive factors, operating costs and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. As such, we may be unable to implement price increases to the degree or within the time frame necessary to fully mitigate the impact of inflationary trends, including those resulting from changes in trade policy, or at all, and the benefits of any price increases may be delayed due to long manufacturing lead times and the terms of existing contracts.

***Risks Associated with Key Customers.*** We have long-term contracts with certain of our customers, some of which are subject to renewal, renegotiation, or re-pricing at periodic intervals or upon changes in competitive supply conditions. Our failure to successfully renew, renegotiate or favorably re-price such agreements, or a material deterioration in or termination of these or other key customer relationships, could result in a reduction or loss in customer purchase revenue. Loss of a key customer could negatively impact our business. Additionally, a significant downturn or deterioration in the markets we serve could cause key customers to change their business strategies or modify their business relationships with us, including to reduce the amount of our products they purchase or to switch to alternative suppliers, as a result of which our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

**<u>RISKS RELATED TO THE RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES THAT WE USE</u>**

***Dependence on Critical Raw Materials Subject to Price and Availability Fluctuations*.** We rely to a substantial extent on third parties to supply certain raw materials that are critical to the manufacture of our products. Purchase prices and availability of these critical items are subject to volatility, and in some cases, we have supply arrangements with only a limited number of suppliers for a given material. At any given time, we may be unable to obtain an adequate supply of these critical raw materials on a timely basis, on price and other terms acceptable to us, or at all. If suppliers increase the price of critical raw materials, we

------

may not have alternative sources of supply. In addition, to the extent that we have quoted prices to customers and accepted customer orders for products prior to purchasing necessary raw materials, or have existing contracts, we may be unable to raise the price of products to cover all or any part of the increased cost of the raw materials. We source some of these materials from China, which has imposed, and may in the future continue to impose, export controls that could limit or significantly delay our access to such materials and could compel us to identify alternative sources, which we may not be able to do in a timely fashion or at all. The prices for many of the raw materials we use have been volatile during the past several years. Due to the long lead times required to manufacture many of our products, volatility in raw material prices exposes us to cash costs that may not be fully recovered through surcharge and index pricing mechanisms. Recently, due to inflationary trends, certain critical raw material costs, such as for nickel, hafnium, titanium sponge, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, and scrap containing iron, nickel, titanium, chromium and molybdenum, have been volatile, and they may continue to be so in the future, including as a result of changes in international trade policy. While we have been able to mitigate some of the adverse impact of volatile raw material costs through various means, including the application of raw material surcharges or pricing indices to customers, rapid changes in raw material costs cause volatility in, and may adversely affect, our results of operations.

The manufacture of some of our products is a complex process and requires long lead times. As a result, we may experience delays or shortages in the supply of raw materials. In particular, we acquire certain important raw materials that we use to produce specialty materials, including nickel, zirconium, niobium, chromium, cobalt, vanadium and titanium sponge, from foreign sources. Some of these sources operate in countries that may be subject to unstable political and economic conditions. These or similar conditions may disrupt supplies or affect the prices of the materials that are necessary to our operations. If unable to obtain adequate and timely deliveries of required raw materials, we may be unable to timely manufacture sufficient quantities of products. This could cause us to lose sales, incur additional costs, delay new product introductions, or suffer harm to our reputation.

***Dependence on Critical Supplies Subject to Price and Availability Fluctuations.*** We rely on third parties for certain supplies, such as graphite electrodes and industrial gases including helium and argon, that are critical to the manufacture of our products. Purchase prices and availability of these critical items are subject to volatility. At any given time, we may be unable to obtain an adequate supply of these critical supplies on a timely basis, on price and other terms acceptable to us, or at all. The manufacture of some of our products is a complex process and requires long lead times. If suppliers increase the price of these critical supplies, we may not have alternative sources of supply. As a result, we may experience delays or shortages of critical supplies. If unable to obtain adequate and timely deliveries of required supplies, we may be unable to timely manufacture sufficient quantities of products. This could cause us to lose sales, incur additional costs, delay new product introductions, or suffer harm to our reputation.

***Availability of Energy Resources.*** We rely upon third parties for our supply of energy resources consumed in the manufacture of our products. The prices for and availability of electricity, natural gas, oil and other energy resources are subject to volatile market conditions. These market conditions often are affected by political and economic factors and by supply and demand trends that are beyond our control. Disruptions in the supply of energy resources could temporarily impair our ability to manufacture products for customers. Further, increases in energy costs, or changes in costs relative to energy costs paid by competitors, has in the past adversely affected our profitability and may continue to do so in the future. To the extent that these uncertainties cause suppliers and customers to be more cost sensitive, increased energy prices may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

***The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine may adversely affect our business and results of operations.***

Since February 2022, Russia and Ukraine have been engaged in active armed conflict. The length, impact, and outcome of the ongoing conflict and its potential impact on our business is highly volatile and difficult to predict. It has and could continue to cause significant market and other disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources, instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability, trade disputes or trade barriers, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences, and increases in cyberattacks and espionage.

Governments in the European Union, the U.S., the U.K. and other countries have enacted sanctions against Russia and Russian interests. These sanctions include controls on the export, re-export, and in-country transfer in Russia of certain goods, supplies, and technologies, and the imposition of restrictions on doing business with certain state-owned Russian customers and other investments and business activities in Russia. We terminated our Uniti, LLC joint venture with Russian-based VSMPO-AVISMA (Verkhnaya Salda Metallurgical Production Association - Berezniki Titanium-Magnesium Works), the purpose of which was to market and sell a range of commercially pure titanium products. However, conditions in Ukraine and/or existing or future sanctions may disrupt supplies or affect the prices of materials that are necessary to our operations. If unable to obtain adequate and timely deliveries of required raw materials, we may be unable to timely manufacture sufficient quantities of products. This could cause us to lose sales, incur additional costs, delay new product introductions, or suffer harm to our reputation.

------

Further, the broader consequences of the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine may also have the effect of heightening many other risks disclosed in our public filings, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Such risks include, but are not limited to, adverse effects on global macroeconomic conditions; increased volatility in the price and demand of oil, natural gas and other commodities, increased exposure to cyberattacks; disruptions in global supply chains; and exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and potential constraints or disruption in the capital markets and our sources of liquidity.

**<u>RISKS RELATED TO OUR WORKFORCE</u>**

***Risks Associated with the Recruitment and Retention of Key Talent and the Sustainability of our Workforce.*** Our business and manufacturing processes are complex. We require highly skilled personnel with relevant industry and technical experience to effectively operate, and as such, depend on our ability to recruit, retain and motivate our employees. Shortages in skilled labor and other labor market pressures currently are resulting in greater competition for skilled labor and increased labor costs in some instances. If we fail to attract, develop, retain and motivate a sustainable workforce with the skills and in the locations we need to operate and grow our business, our operations could be adversely impacted.

In addition, the loss of key members of management and other personnel could negatively impact our business, and any unplanned turnover, or failure to develop adequate succession plans for key positions, could result in loss of technical or other expertise or institutional knowledge, delay or impede the execution of our strategic plans and priorities and, ultimately, negatively impact our business and results.

***Labor Matters.*** We have approximately 7,600 active employees, of which approximately 15% are located outside the U.S. Approximately 35% of our workforce is covered by various CBAs, predominantly with the USW. At various times, our CBAs expire and are subject to renegotiation. Generally, CBAs that expire may be terminated after notice by the union. After termination, the union may authorize a strike. A labor dispute, which could lead to a strike, lockout, or other work stoppage by the employees covered by one or more of the collective bargaining agreements, could have a material adverse effect on production at one or more of our facilities and, depending upon the length of such dispute or work stoppage, on our operating results. Additionally, labor organizations may from time to time attempt to organize groups of additional employees who are not currently covered by any of the CBAs to which we are a party. The outcome of any such efforts may be influenced by many factors and is difficult to predict. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in obtaining CBAs to replace those that expire or in negotiating new CBAs on terms acceptable to us or at all.

**<u>RISKS RELATED TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND SECURITY</u>**

***Risks Associated with our Intellectual Property.*** We own valuable intellectual property, including trade secrets, patents, trademarks and copyrights. Our intellectual property protects our investments in technological innovation, research and development, and plays an important role in maintaining our competitive position in the markets we serve. Despite efforts to secure our intellectual property, it may be infringed or misappropriated by our employees, our competitors or other third parties. The pursuit of remedies for infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property is expensive and uncertain. Additionally, our competitors may develop technologies of their own that are similar or superior to our proprietary technologies, or design around our patents, to lawfully avoid our intellectual property rights. A failure to sufficiently secure or successfully enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our business and competitive position.

***Risks Associated with Digital Technology.*** Information technology infrastructure is critical to supporting business objectives; failure of our information technology infrastructure to operate effectively could adversely affect our business. If a problem occurs that impairs this infrastructure, the resulting disruption could impede our ability to record or process orders, manufacture and ship in a timely manner, or otherwise carry on business in the normal course. Any such events could cause us to lose customers or revenue and could require us to incur significant remediation expense. As we integrate, implement and deploy new information technology processes and information infrastructure across our operations, we could experience disruptions in our business that could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

***Risks Associated with Cybersecurity Threats.*** Increased global information technology threats, vulnerabilities, and a rise in sophisticated and targeted international computer crime pose a risk to the security of our systems and networks and the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data. We believe that ATI faces the threat of such cyberattacks due to the markets we serve, the products we manufacture, the locations of our operations, and global interest in our technology. Due to the evolving nature of cybersecurity threats, the scope and impact of any incident cannot be predicted. We continually work to strengthen our threat countermeasures, safeguard our systems and mitigate potential risks. Despite our efforts to fortify our cybersecurity and protect sensitive information and confidential and personal data, our facilities and systems, and those of our third-party service providers, may be vulnerable to security breaches. A significant security breach could lead to unanticipated disclosure, modification or destruction of proprietary and other key information, production downtimes, operational disruptions,

------

the loss of customers, and remediation costs and other losses or liabilities, which in turn could adversely affect our reputation, competitiveness and results of operations.

**<u>RISK RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS</u>**

***Risks Associated with Climate Change*.** 

While the prospect of a lower-carbon economy presents a number of opportunities for our business, the physical impacts of climate change, regulatory efforts to transition to a lower-carbon economy in the regions in which we, our customers and our suppliers operate, and the focus and evolving views of our various stakeholders on climate change issues could create risks to our business.

*<u>Physical Risk</u>*. Climate related changes in prevailing weather patterns may impact, among other conditions, changes in sea levels and the propensity for flooding in coastal and other regions, long-term changes in precipitation patterns leading to flooding, drought or deterioration in water quality, and increases in the frequency and severity of significant storms and other weather events and related natural hazards, such as wildfire risk. Although we do not believe that our facilities are currently exposed to significant physical risk as a general matter, our operations have at times been, and could in the future be, impacted by adverse climate-related events, such as, for example, unanticipated periods of extreme cold or heat, acute flooding and wide-spread wildfires such as those experienced in certain regions in the U.S. and elsewhere in recent years. Events such as these could cause damage to critical facilities and equipment, result in significant operational disruption and have meaningfully adverse effects on our employees and the communities in which we operate. Additionally, even to the extent that significant weather events or changes in climate conditions do not directly impact our own facilities and/or operations, our business could be negatively impacted by events or more chronic climate conditions that disrupt or force longer-term changes in operations for our significant customers or suppliers, which could negatively impact the timing or overall volume of demand for our products or the cost and availability of critical raw materials, among other factors. Over time, widespread physical climate changes and risks could drive increases in other operational costs for our business, such as insurance costs.

*<u>Regulatory and Other Transition Risks</u>*. Worldwide focus on climate change has led to legislative and regulatory efforts to combat both potential causes and adverse impacts of climate change. New or more stringent laws and regulations related to greenhouse gas emissions, water usage and other climate change related concerns may adversely affect us, our suppliers and our customers. We have publicly disclosed efforts to reduce certain environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of our operations, and provide for our compliance with applicable environmental regulations. Nevertheless, new and evolving laws and regulations could mandate different or more restrictive standards; increase operating costs; require (or cause customers to require that we make) capital investments to transition to low carbon technologies or purchase carbon credits; or otherwise adversely impact our ongoing operations. Our suppliers may face similar challenges and incur additional compliance costs that are passed on to us. These direct and indirect costs may adversely impact our results.

*<u>Market and Reputational Risks</u>*. Technology to support the transition to lower-carbon operations within the timeframe that could be required by future regulation or expected in the future by our customers may not be available at the scale necessary to support our operations in a timely or cost-effective manner or at all. It is possible that, over time, due to both regulatory action and/or changing customer and societal norms and expectations regarding the causes and importance of climate change issues, demand for products in one or more of our significant end markets could decline or, if we fail to keep pace with changing demand and technological advancement, shift in favor of products that we do not produce. If we fail to appropriately adapt to the expectations of our customers or other stakeholders, fail to achieve or properly report progress toward our environmental sustainability goals and targets or otherwise are perceived as failing to adequately address climate change concerns, the resulting negative perceptions could adversely affect our business, reputation and access to capital.

***Risks Associated with Other Environmental Compliance Matters.*** We are subject to various domestic and international environmental laws and regulations that govern the discharge of pollutants and disposal of wastes, and may require that we investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. We could incur substantial cleanup costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third party property damage or personal injury claims as a result of violations or liabilities under these laws or non-compliance with environmental permits required at our facilities. We are currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of our current and former sites as well as third party sites. With respect to proceedings brought under the federal Superfund laws, or similar state statutes, we have been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at 40 of such sites, excluding those at which we believe we have no future liability. Our involvement is limited or de minimis at approximately 19 of these sites, and potential loss exposure with respect to 13 individual sites is not considered to be material. The potential loss exposure on the remaining eight sites could be material. We are a party to various cost-sharing arrangements with other PRPs at many of the sites. The terms of the cost-sharing arrangements are subject to non-disclosure agreements as confidential information. Nevertheless, the cost-sharing arrangements generally require all PRPs to post financial assurance of the performance of the obligations or to pre-pay into an

------

escrow or trust account their share of anticipated site-related costs. In addition, the Federal government, through various agencies, is a party to several such arrangements.

From time-to-time, we are a party to lawsuits and other proceedings involving alleged violations of, or liabilities arising from, environmental laws. When our liability is probable and we can reasonably estimate our costs, we record environmental liabilities in our financial statements. In many cases, we are not able to determine whether we are liable or if liability is probable or to reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss associated with an alleged claim. Estimates of our liability remain subject to additional uncertainties, including the nature and extent of site contamination, available remediation alternatives, the extent of corrective actions that may be required, and the participation number and financial condition of other PRPs, as well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation. We intend to adjust our accruals to reflect new information as appropriate. Future adjustments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in a given period, but we cannot reliably predict the amounts of such future adjustments. At December 28, 2025, our reserves for environmental matters totaled approximately $15 million. Based on currently available information, we do not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding the amount already accrued for any of the sites with which we are currently associated (either individually or in the aggregate) will be an amount that would be material to a decision to buy or sell our securities. Future developments, administrative actions or liabilities relating to environmental matters, however, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

**<u>OTHER OPERATIONAL AND STRATEGIC RISKS</u>**

***Risks Associated with Disruptions to our Manufacturing Processes.*** The manufacture of many of our products is a highly exacting and complex process. If we encounter disruptions to our manufacturing processes due to equipment malfunction, failure to follow specific protocols, specifications and procedures, supply chain interruptions, natural disasters, geopolitical volatility, health pandemics, cybersecurity breaches, labor unrest, or otherwise, it could have an adverse impact on our ability to fulfill orders or on product quality or performance which could result in significant costs to and liability for us that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, as well as negative publicity and damage to our reputation, which could adversely impact product demand and customer relationships. Additionally, our operations depend on the continued and efficient functioning of our facilities, including critical equipment. If our operations, particularly one of our manufacturing facilities, were to be materially disrupted for any reason, we may be unable to effectively meet our obligations to or demand from our customers, which could adversely affect our financial performance.

***Risks Associated with Export Sales and International Trade Matters.*** We believe that export sales will continue to account for a significant percentage of our future revenues. We also import certain raw materials that are important to our business, including nickel, zirconium, niobium, chromium, hafnium, cobalt, vanadium and titanium sponge, among others. Risks associated with such international trade include, among others: political and economic instability, including weak conditions in the world's economies; accounts receivable collection; export controls; trade sanctions; changes in legal and regulatory requirements; policy changes affecting the markets for our products; changes in tax laws, including taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings; and exchange rate fluctuations (which may affect sales to international customers and the value of profits earned on export sales when converted into dollars). Any of these factors could materially adversely affect our results for the period in which they occur. We source some materials from China, which has and may in the future continue to impose export controls that could limit or significantly delay our access to such materials and could compel us to identify alternative sources, which we may not be able to do in a timely fashion or at all.

Additionally, global trade policy may, at times, be volatile and unpredictable, and changes in international trade duties and other aspects of international trade policy, both in the U.S. and abroad, could materially impact our business. Tariffs, or other changes in U.S. trade policy, have resulted in and may continue to trigger, retaliatory actions by affected countries. At times, certain foreign governments have instituted or considered imposing trade sanctions on certain U.S. goods, or taking action to deny U.S. companies access to critical raw materials in response to U.S. trade actions, and these or other foreign governments could continue or expand upon these actions in the future. A "trade war" of this nature or other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements or policies has the potential to adversely impact demand for our products, our costs, customers, suppliers and/or the U.S. economy or certain sectors thereof and, thus, to adversely impact our businesses.

***Risks Associated with Strategic Capital Projects and Maintenance Activities.*** From time to time, we undertake strategic capital projects in order to enhance, expand and/or upgrade our facilities and operational capabilities. Our ability to achieve the anticipated increased revenues or otherwise realize acceptable returns on these investments or other strategic capital projects that we may undertake is subject to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control, including a variety of market, operational, permitting, and labor-related factors. In addition, the cost to implement any given strategic capital project ultimately may prove to be greater than originally anticipated. If we are not able to achieve the anticipated results from the implementation of any of our strategic capital projects, or if we incur unanticipated implementation costs or delays, our results of operations and financial position may be materially adversely affected. Additionally, we periodically undertake maintenance activities, routine or otherwise, involving facilities and pieces of equipment that are key to our operations, and it is possible that

------

unanticipated maintenance needs, or unanticipated circumstances arising in connection with planned maintenance activities could result in equipment outages that are longer, or costs that exceed, those originally anticipated. Significant repair delays or unanticipated costs associated with these activities could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

***Risks Associated with Current or Future Litigation and Claims.*** A number of lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against us relating to the conduct of our currently and formerly owned businesses, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial disputes, government contracting, employment matters, employee and retiree benefits, taxes, environmental matters, personal injury and health and safety and occupational disease, and stockholder and corporate governance matters. Due to the uncertainties of litigation, we can give no assurance that we will prevail on all claims made against us in the lawsuits that we currently face or that additional claims will not be made against us in the future. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to us, we do not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity. However, the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period. Also, we can give no assurance that any other claims brought in the future will not have a material effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

In August 2024, the Company received notice that it and certain of its affiliates are parties to two lawsuits, filed in federal district court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, that assert various claims associated with the Company's October 2023 purchase of group annuity contracts to transfer a portion of its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan obligations to Athene Annuity and Life Company and Athene Annuity & Life Assurance of New York. These two lawsuits were consolidated in late 2024, and in January 2025, we filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated claims. Following an August 2025 hearing on the motion to dismiss, the magistrate judge covering the Motion issued a report recommending that all of the plaintiffs' claims be dismissed for lack of standing. The recommendation remains subject to review and disposition by the presiding judge. We intend to vigorously defend against these claims, but given the preliminary nature of these matters, cannot predict their outcome or estimate any range of reasonably possible loss at this time.

***Risks Associated with Insurance Coverage.*** We have maintained various forms of insurance, including insurance covering claims related to our properties and risks associated with our operations. Our existing property and liability insurance coverages contain exclusions and limitations on coverage. From time-to-time, in connection with renewals of insurance, we have experienced additional exclusions and limitations on coverage, larger self-insured retentions and deductibles, and significantly higher premiums. As a result, in the future, our insurance coverage may not cover claims to the extent that it has in the past and the costs that we incur to procure insurance may increase significantly, either of which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

***Risks Associated with Acquisition and Disposition Strategies.*** We intend to continue to strategically position our businesses to improve our ability to compete. Strategies we employ to accomplish this may include seeking new or expanding existing specialty market niches for our products, expanding our global presence, acquiring businesses complementary to existing strengths, and continually evaluating the performance and strategic fit of our existing business units and their components, as a result of which we may choose to dispose of any such business or related assets. From time-to-time, management holds discussions with management of other companies to explore acquisitions, joint ventures, and other business combination opportunities, as well as possible asset acquisitions or dispositions. As a result, the relative makeup of the businesses comprising our Company is subject to change. Acquisitions, joint ventures, and other business combinations involve various inherent risks, such as: the relative accuracy of our assessment of the value, strengths, weaknesses, contingent and other liabilities and potential profitability of acquisition or other transaction candidates; the potential loss of key personnel of an acquired business; unanticipated conditions or events that impact our ability to achieve identified financial and operating synergies, growth or other benefits anticipated to result from an acquisition or other transaction; and unanticipated changes in business and economic conditions. The relative success of any business or asset acquisitions and other similar transactions, particularly any cross-border transaction, also could be negatively affected by export controls, exchange rate fluctuations, domestic and foreign trade policy and other geopolitical conditions, changes in tax laws and deterioration in domestic and foreign economic conditions.

***Risks Associated with Government Contracts*.** Some of our operating units perform contractual work directly or indirectly for the U.S. Government, which requires compliance with laws and regulations relating to the performance of Government contracts. Various claims (whether based on U.S. Government or Company audits and investigations or otherwise) could be asserted against us related to our U.S. Government contract work. Depending on the circumstances and the outcome, such proceedings could result in fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages or the cancellation or suspension of payments

------

under one or more U.S. Government contracts. Under government regulations, a company, or one or more of its operating divisions or units, can also be suspended or debarred from government contracts based on the results of investigations.

***Risks Related to Wide-Spread Public Health Crises.*** The COVID-19 pandemic, including governmental and other actions taken or restrictions imposed to contain its spread and impact, subjected our operations, financial performance and financial condition to a number of risks. In general, our facilities continued to operate throughout the pandemic with federal and state government approvals because our facilities were deemed essential and critical. However, we experienced, and may again in the context of future similar events experience, the temporary shut-down of facilities. The significant macroeconomic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures designed to contain its spread also negatively impacted several of the Company's most significant end markets, and our sales to customers in those markets. Any future similar event could impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows in similar respects, but the ultimate breadth and duration of any such future event and its impacts on our business are difficult to predict.

***Risks Associated with Political and Social Turmoil.*** The war on terrorism, as well as global political and social turmoil, generally, could put pressure on economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide. These political, social and economic conditions could make it difficult for us, our suppliers, and our customers to forecast accurately and plan future business activities, and could adversely affect the financial condition of our suppliers and customers and affect customer decisions as to the amount and timing of purchases from us. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

**<u>RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR INDEBTEDNESS; OTHER FINANCIAL AND FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING RISKS</u>**

***Risks Associated with Indebtedness.*** Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our outstanding indebtedness. As of December 28, 2025, our total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $1.7 billion. We also had the ability to borrow approximately $569 million under our Asset Based Lending (ABL) credit facility, and up to $100 million of availability under the Delayed-Draw Term Loan as of December 28, 2025. This substantial level of indebtedness increases the risk that we may be unable to generate enough cash to pay amounts due in respect of our indebtedness. Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to our stockholders and significant effects on our business. For example, it could:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our outstanding indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, our strategic growth initiatives and development efforts and other general corporate purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrict us from taking advantage of business opportunities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less indebtedness; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limit our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy or other general corporate purposes.

A portion of our indebtedness, including amounts outstanding currently or in the future under our ABL, bear interest at variable rates and, accordingly, subject our business to risk, particularly in a rising interest rate environment. In addition, the agreements that govern our current indebtedness contain, and the agreements that may govern any future indebtedness that we may incur may contain, financial and other restrictive covenants that could limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our debt.

***Risks Associated with Retirement Benefits.*** On October 17, 2023, we purchased group annuity contacts from an insurer covering approximately 85% of our U.S. qualified defined benefit plan obligations. Under these contracts, we transferred the pension obligations and associated assets for the significant majority of our remaining plan participants to the selected insurance company. Using our long-term weighted average expected return on pension plan assets and other actuarial assumptions, we expect to have approximately $40 million of minimum cash funding requirements to the defined benefit pension plan over the next ten years. Minimum cash funding requirements are not expected to be significant in any individual year. However, these estimates are based on various assumptions and are subject to significant uncertainty, including with respect to the performance of our pension trust assets, and our expectations therefore could prove to be inaccurate. Significantly lower than expected returns on our pension assets could result in otherwise unanticipated pension contribution obligations in the future. Depending

------

on the timing and amount, a requirement that we fund the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

***Risks Associated with Goodwill or Long-Lived Asset Impairments.*** We have various long-lived assets that are subject to impairment testing. We review the recoverability of goodwill annually, or more frequently whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded goodwill of a reporting unit may be below that reporting unit's fair value. Our businesses operate in highly cyclical industries, such as commercial aerospace, and as such, our estimates of future cash flows, market demand, the cost of capital, and forecasted growth rates and other factors may fluctuate, which may lead to changes in estimated fair value and, therefore, impairment charges in future periods. For the fiscal year 2025 annual goodwill impairment evaluation, both of our reporting units with goodwill had fair values that were in excess of carrying value. Additionally, we have a significant amount of property, plant and equipment and acquired intangible assets that may be subject to impairment testing, depending on factors such as market conditions, the demand for our products, and facility utilization levels. Any determination requiring the impairment of a significant portion of goodwill or other long-lived assets has had, and may in the future have, a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

***Risks Associated with Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.*** Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

***Risks Associated with Our Guidance and Other Targets and Expectations.*** From time to time, we may announce earnings guidance and other future targets or goals for our business. Such information, which consists of forward-looking statements, is based on our then current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the operating environment, economies and markets in which we operate. Future targets and goals reflect our beliefs and assumptions and our perception of historical trends, then current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors appropriate in the circumstances. As such, while sometime presented with numerical specificity, earnings guidance and other statements regarding our future targets and goals are inherently speculative in nature and subject to significant business, economic, competitive and other uncertainties and contingencies regarding future events, including the risks discussed herein. Our actual results can, and likely will, be different, and those differences could be material. There can be no assurance that any targets or goals established by us will be accomplished at the levels or by the dates targeted, if at all. Failure to achieve our targets or goals may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or the market price of our securities.

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments**

None.

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity**

The Company and its Board recognize the critical significance that cybersecurity has to our operations and the need to continually assess cybersecurity risk and evolve our response in the face of a rapidly and ever-changing environment. We face a range of increasing and evolving cybersecurity threats common to industrial operations and other enterprises, which continue to grow in frequency and scope. See Item 1A, Risk Factors, "Cybersecurity Threats."

The programs and procedures we have implemented to mitigate our exposure to these threats focus on preventing cybersecurity incidents, preserving the confidentiality, security and availability of the information that we generate or collect and store, and effectively responding to cybersecurity incidents if they occur.

***Our Comprehensive Program***

We take a comprehensive, standards-driven approach to our cybersecurity through an enterprise-wide cybersecurity program aligned with the National Institute on Standards and Technology's Cybersecurity Framework. Our program includes an extensive set of systems, network and application-level controls that protect our corporate data and systems. Our Chief Digital and Information Officer ("CDIO") and our Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO"), each of whom have extensive cybersecurity training and expertise and more than 25 years and 19 years of information technology and cybersecurity experience, respectively, hold primary responsibility within management for assessing, monitoring and managing our cybersecurity risks and program. They are supported by a dedicated, enterprise-wide cybersecurity team that, with the assistance of third-party providers, monitors our program and controls, as well as available cybersecurity intelligence, on a continuous basis to ensure that, as an organization, we are informed of emerging risks, identify specific threats and potential incidents, and promptly escalate the evaluation and management of identified incidents as appropriate. Components of our comprehensive program include, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Technical Safeguards</u>. We deploy technical safeguards that are designed to protect the Company's information systems from cybersecurity threats, including firewalls, intrusion prevention and detection systems, anti-malware

------

functionality and access controls, which are evaluated through vulnerability assessments and cybersecurity threat intelligence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Third-Party Risk Management</u>. We maintain a risk-based approach to identifying and overseeing cybersecurity risks presented by third parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Program Assessments</u>. We engage in regular assessments and testing of our policies and procedures, including efforts such as audits and similar assessments, tabletop exercises, threat modeling, vulnerability testing and other procedures focused on evaluating program effectiveness. Additionally, we periodically engage third parties to perform assessments of our cybersecurity measures, including information security maturity assessments and independent reviews of our information security control environment and operating effectiveness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Education and Awareness</u>. We conduct a regular program of enterprise-wide communication and training regarding cybersecurity threats and the policies and procedures we have implemented in response. These programs are designed to elevate threat awareness within the Company and equip our employees with the knowledge and access to resources that they need to appropriately respond to and address the cybersecurity risks that we face.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Incident Response and Recovery</u>. We maintain extensive incident response and recovery plans and procedures that provide a documented framework for handling high severity security incidents. These plans ensure the appropriate escalation, evaluation, management and reporting of cybersecurity incidents in a prompt and appropriately cross-functional manner, facilitating coordination across multiple parts of the Company, and are the subject of regular table- top breach simulations and other exercises and evaluations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Insurance Coverage</u>. We maintain a cybersecurity risk insurance policy to protect the Company against computer-related incidents and losses.

We have not experienced any material operational or financial impacts as a result of any cybersecurity incident or the cybersecurity risks that we face. At this time, while the threat of a cybersecurity incident is always present, we view our comprehensive mitigation strategies and procedures as appropriately calibrated safeguards against any material impact to our results of operation and financial condition as a result of a cybersecurity incident and believe that we are prepared to appropriately mitigate and respond to such an incident, should it occur.

***Governance***

Our Board is actively engaged in the oversight of our digital technology risk management and cybersecurity programs. As part of its program of regular oversight, the Audit and Risk Committee oversees ATI's digital technology and cybersecurity risk. The regular review and assessment of the Company's cybersecurity program and related policies, standards, processes and practices is a fully integrated component of the Company's overall enterprise risk management program, and at least quarterly as a key component of each regularly scheduled meeting, the Committee receives regular reports from our CDIO on the Company's cybersecurity risk profile, the functioning of its cybersecurity program, including with reference to key performance indicators and other specific, quantitative measures, and other digital technology risks.

**Item 2. Properties**

Our principal domestic facilities for the HPMC segment include melting operations and production facilities that perform processing and finishing operations, which are all substantially owned. Domestic melting operations are located in Monroe and Bakers, NC, and Richland, WA (vacuum induction melting, vacuum arc re-melt, electro-slag re-melt, plasma melting, electron beam melting). Production of high performance materials, most of which are in long product form, takes place at our domestic facilities in Monroe and Bakers, NC, Richburg, SC, and Oakdale, PA. Our production of highly engineered forgings and machined components takes place at facilities in Cudahy, Appleton and Coon Valley, WI, and Irvine, CA. In addition, we lease a facility in Margate, Florida to perform metal alloy-based additive manufacturing for the aerospace & defense industries.

Within the AA&S segment, our production of zirconium, hafnium, niobium and related specialty alloys takes place at facilities located in Millersburg, OR and Huntsville, AL. Nickel melting operations are located in Lockport, NY (vacuum induction melting, vacuum arc re-melt, and electro-slag re-melt), and titanium melting operations are located in Albany, OR (vacuum arc re-melt). Our principal AA&S locations for melting flat-rolled specialty materials are located in Brackenridge and Latrobe, PA. Hot-rolling is performed at our domestic facilities in Brackenridge and Washington, PA. Finishing of our flat-rolled products takes place at our domestic facilities located in Vandergrift, WA, Rochester, Monaca, and Zelienople, PA, and Pageland, SC. Substantially all of these properties are owned.

We lease facilities, primarily sales and administrative offices, in a number of foreign countries, including France, Germany, the U.K., Poland, Mexico, and the People's Republic of China. We also own highly engineered forging and machining operations in Stalowa Wola, Poland. Through our STAL joint venture, we operate facilities for finishing PRS products in the Xin-Zhuang Industrial Zone, Shanghai, China.

------

Our corporate headquarters in Dallas, TX and enterprise resource center in Pittsburgh, PA are leased.

Although our facilities vary in terms of age and condition, we believe that they have been well maintained and are in sufficient condition for us to carry on our activities. See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for further discussion of these impacts.

**Item 3. Legal Proceedings**

From time to time, we become involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings relating to the conduct of our current and formerly owned businesses, including those pertaining to product liability, environmental, health and safety matters and occupational disease (including as each relates to alleged asbestos exposure), as well as patent infringement, commercial, government contracting, construction, employment, employee and retiree benefits, taxes, environmental, and stockholder and corporate governance matters. While we cannot predict the outcome of any lawsuit, claim or proceeding, our management believes that the disposition of any pending matters is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity. The resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters, including those described above, however, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period.

In August 2024, the Company received notice that it and certain of its affiliates are parties to two lawsuits captioned (1) William L. Schoen, Mary J. Nesbit, Robin L. Rosewicz, George E. Poole and James E. Swartz, Jr., individually and as representatives of a class of participants and beneficiaries of the Allegheny Technologies Incorporated Pension Plan v. ATI Inc., The Allegheny Technologies Incorporated Pension Plan Administrative Committee, State Street Global Advisors Trust Co., and John Does 1-5 (Case No. 2:24-cv-01109) and (2) John Souza and Karen Souza, individually and as representatives on behalf of a class of similarly situated persons v. ATI Inc. and State Street Global Advisors Trust Co. (Case No. 2:24-cv-01214), both of which are filed in federal district court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. These lawsuits, which were consolidated in late 2024, assert various claims associated with the Company's October 2023 purchase of group annuity contracts to transfer a portion of its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan obligations to Athene Annuity and Life Company and Athene Annuity & Life Assurance of New York. We filed a Motion to Dismiss the consolidated claims in January 2025. Following an August 2025 hearing on the Motion to Dismiss, the magistrate judge covering the Motion issued a report recommending that all the plaintiffs' claims be dismissed for lack of standing. The recommendation remains subject to review and disposition by the presiding judge. We dispute and intend to vigorously defend against these claims, but given the preliminary nature of these matters, cannot predict their outcome or estimate any range of reasonably possible loss at this time.

Information relating to legal proceedings is included in Note 21. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures**

***PART II***

**Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities**

***Common Stock Prices***

Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (symbol ATI). At January 30, 2026, there were 1,527 record holders of ATI Inc. common stock. Currently, we do not pay a dividend. The future payment of dividends and the amount of such dividends would depend upon matters deemed relevant by our Board of Directors, such as our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, prospects, any limitations imposed by law, credit agreements or senior securities, and other factors deemed appropriate. Further, our ABL credit facility restricts our ability to pay dividends in certain circumstances. For more information on the restrictions under our ABL credit facility, see Note 16 of Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

***Sales of Equity Securities***

Set forth below is information regarding our stock repurchases during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, comprised of shares repurchased by ATI under the $700 million repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors in September 2024 and shares repurchased by ATI from employees to satisfy employee-owed taxes on share-based compensation.

**Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition or the year ended December 28, 2025 (fiscal year 2025) as compared to the year ended December 29, 2024 (fiscal year 2024). The MD&A includes certain statements that are forward-looking statements. Actual results or performance could differ materially from those encompassed within such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those described below. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8 (Financial statements and Supplementary Data) of this Form 10-K. Information on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity for fiscal year 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 (fiscal year 2023) is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K in Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" filed on February 21, 2025 and is incorporated herein by reference.

**ATI Overview**

ATI is a global manufacturer of technically advanced specialty materials and complex components. We are a market leader in manufacturing differentiated products that require our materials science capabilities and unique process technologies, including our new product development competence. Our largest markets are aerospace & defense, representing approximately 68% of total sales, led by products for jet engines and airframes. Additionally, we have a strong presence in the specialty energy end market, which includes products for nuclear and renewable energy applications. In aggregate, these markets represent over 73% of our total revenue. We also sell to several other end markets, including industrial, electronics and medical.

**Gross Profit**

Fiscal year 2025 gross profit was $1,007.0 million, or 22.0% of sales, a $108.8 million increase compared to fiscal year 2024. Gross profit in fiscal year 2025 includes $23.6 million of start-up and transaction-related costs, which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Fiscal year 2025 gross profit also includes a benefit of $7.2 million related to the recognition of previously deferred employee retention tax credits, of which $4.4 million related to the HPMC segment and $2.8 million related to the AA&S segment.

Fiscal year 2024 gross profit was $898.2 million, or 20.6% of sales, and included $15.3 million primarily for start-up and transaction-related costs, which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Fiscal year 2024 gross profit also included a benefit of $16.7 million related to the recognition of previously deferred employee retention tax credits, of which $9.0 million of the benefit was recognized in the HPMC segment and $7.7 million in the AA&S segment.

The overall 140 basis points improvement in fiscal year 2025 gross profit margin as compared to fiscal year 2024 gross profit was primarily due to favorable sales mix and pricing as well as higher volumes.

**Selling and Administrative Expenses**

Selling and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2025 were $365.1 million, an increase of $22.8 million from 2024. The increase was primarily due to professional fees associated with transformation activities, losses on the sale of customer accounts receivable, and higher incentive compensation costs. Transformation-related costs were $17.1 million and losses on the sale of customer accounts receivable were $7.8 million. In addition, fiscal year 2025 selling and administrative expenses included $2.2 million of transaction-related costs. The charges for transformation-related costs, losses on the sale of customer accounts receivable, and transaction-related costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

Fiscal year 2024 included $2.7 million of transaction-related costs and costs associated with our European restructuring, which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Fiscal year 2024 also included charges of $11.8 million primarily related to a commercial negotiation with a customer. HPMC segment results reflect $6.3 million of this charge, while the remaining $5.5 million is reflected in the AA&S segment results.

**Restructuring (Credits) Charges**

For the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, restructuring credits were $1.9 million due to a reduction in severance-related reserves for a previous restructuring, primarily in the AA&S segment. These credits are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

For the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, restructuring charges were $4.1 million for severance-related reserves primarily related to cost reduction actions in our domestic operations. These charges are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

**Loss (Gain) on Asset Sales and Sales of Businesses, net**

The fiscal year 2025 loss on assets sales and sales of businesses, net is comprised of an $0.8 million gain for the sale of a non-core business previously reported in the HPMC segment, for which ATI received $19.3 million of proceeds, net of transaction costs and a working capital adjustment. This gain is offset by a $3.7 million loss of the sale of certain non-core European operations from the HPMC segment for which ATI received $5.0 million of proceeds, net of transaction costs. The proceeds from both transactions were reported as an investing activity on the consolidated statement of cash flow.

The fiscal year 2024 gain on asset sales and sales of businesses, net was primarily due to a $52.9 million gain on the sale of our precision rolled strip operations, for which ATI received $48.0 million of proceeds, net of transaction costs, that were reported as an investing activity on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

**Pension Remeasurement Gains and Losses**

The Company recognizes gains and losses from the remeasurement of the projected benefit obligation and plan assets for defined benefit pension plans immediately in earnings through net periodic pension benefit cost. The Company completes the remeasurements of these plans in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and, as a result, we recognized pension remeasurement losses of $18.6 million and $14.1 million in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. These losses are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and recorded in nonoperating retirement benefit income/expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

------

**Interest Expense, Net**

Interest expense, net of interest income and interest capitalization, was $98.6 million in fiscal year 2025, compared to $108.2 million in fiscal year 2024. The decrease in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024 is due to the redemption of the 2025 Convertible Notes during the third quarter of 2024. Further, interest expense is presented net of interest income of $12.1 million in fiscal year 2025 and $16.0 million in fiscal year 2024. Interest expense in fiscal years 2025 and 2024 was reduced by $10.6 million and $11.8 million, respectively, related to interest capitalization on large, strategic capital projects.

**Other Income, Net**

Other income, net for fiscal year 2025 of $14.6 million included a gain of $10.5 million from the sale of certain oil and gas rights. Other income, net for fiscal year 2024 of $14.4 million included a gain of $11.6 million from the sale of certain oil and gas rights.

**Income Taxes**

The fiscal year 2025 effective tax rate was 19.9%, resulting in an income tax provision of $103.7 million, compared to an effective tax rate of 21.3%, resulting in an income tax provision of $103.4 million in fiscal year 2024. The effective tax rates for fiscal years 2025 and 2024 included discrete tax benefits of $6.0 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The discrete tax benefits in fiscal years 2025 and 2024 included $4.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively, for share-based compensation.

The 140 basis point decrease in the effective tax rate in fiscal year 2025 as compared to fiscal year 2024 was primarily due to higher deductions for benefits that were previously limited due to our net operating losses, such as foreign derived intangible income.

**Net Income**

Net income attributable to ATI was $404.3 million, or $2.85 per share, in fiscal year 2025, compared to $367.8 million, or $2.55 per share, for fiscal year 2024.

**Results by Business Segment**

As discussed above, we operate in two business segments: HPMC and AA&S. HPMC sales increased 7% in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024, primarily due to higher aerospace & defense market sales. Increased demand for commercial jet engines and defense applications resulted in a 14% increase in sales to the aerospace & defense markets. Full fiscal year 2025 AA&S sales increased 3% due to a 15% increase in aerospace & defense sales and a 10% increase in conventional energy market sales partially offset by softness in other certain other markets, including specialty energy, medical and electronics.

We utilize LTAs for our specialty materials, including powders, parts and components, with certain of our customers, including several aerospace market OEMs, to reduce their supply uncertainty. These LTAs cover sales of ATI's specialty materials, precision forgings, components, and machined parts that are used in both next-generation and legacy aircraft platforms, including jet engines. Our LTAs include a titanium products supply agreement for aircraft airframes and structural components with Boeing. This LTA covers value-added titanium products and provides opportunities for greater use of ATI's next generation and advanced titanium alloys in both long product and flat-rolled product forms. The agreement includes both long-product forms that are manufactured within the HPMC segment, and a significant amount of plate products that are manufactured utilizing assets of both the HPMC and AA&S segments. Revenues and profits associated with these titanium products covered by the Boeing LTA are included primarily in the results for the HPMC segment. The HPMC segment also includes revenues and profits under our LTA with Airbus for titanium airframe products.

We have LTAs with several aircraft engine manufacturers, including GE Aviation and Safran, to supply premium titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys, and vacuum-melted specialty alloys products for commercial and military jet engine applications. In addition, we have LTAs with Rolls-Royce plc for the supply of disc-quality mill products and precision forgings for commercial jet engine applications and with Pratt & Whitney to provide isothermal and conventional forgings for use in jet engines. We also supply products to other important parts of the aircraft market such as helicopters and rotary engine fixed wing aircraft.

New airframe designs contain a larger percentage of titanium alloys, and the jet engines that power them use newer nickel and titanium-based alloys for improved performance and more economical operating costs. Boeing and Airbus continue to have multi-year backlogs of orders for both legacy models and next-generation aircraft, and there are over 30,000 jet engines with firm orders (Aero Engine News, Fourth Quarter 2025). Due to manufacturing cycle times, demand for our specialty materials leads the deliveries of new aircrafts by approximately 6 to 12 months.

Use of these newer materials, particularly for jet engine applications, is expected to continue to increase for several years, with strong growth expected in powder metal alloys, including increased usage of iso-thermal forging and additive manufacturing production processes.

In addition, as our specialty materials are used in rotating components of jet engines, demand for our products for spare parts is impacted by aircraft flight activity and engine refurbishment requirements of U.S. and foreign aviation regulatory authorities. As the number of aircraft in service and flight activity increases, the need for our materials associated with engine refurbishment is expected to increase.

Segment EBITDA was $349.0 million, or 16.3% of sales, an 9% increase from Segment EBITDA of $320.9 million, or 15.4% of sales, in fiscal year 2024. The margin increase compared to the prior year was primarily due to favorable pricing for exotic alloys and improved sales mix on higher demand for nickel-based alloys and titanium mill products. Results in fiscal year 2025 included $2.8 million of benefits related to the recognition of previously deferred employee retention tax credits. Fiscal year 2024 also included $7.7 million of benefits related to the recognition of previously deferred employee retention tax credits, which were partially offset by a charge of approximately $5.5 million due to a commercial negotiation with a customer and higher incentive compensation and maintenance costs.

**Corporate Items**

Corporate expenses, which are primarily included in selling and administrative expenses in the statement of operations, were $67.8 million in fiscal year 2025 compared to $64.0 million in fiscal year 2024. The increase in expenses in fiscal year 2025 as compared to fiscal year 2024 was primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs and prior year benefits due to insurance settlements.

Closed operations and other income/expenses are presented primarily in selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and include legal, environmental, retirement benefits and insurance obligations associated with closed operations as well as gains from the sale of non-core assets. Closed operations and other expenses provided income of $2.3

------

million in fiscal year 2025 and $10.8 million in fiscal year 2024. Fiscal year 2025 includes a $10.5 million gain on the sale of certain oil and gas rights, included within other income, net, on the consolidated statement of operations. This gain was offset by unfavorable foreign currency transaction impacts compared to the prior year period. Fiscal year 2024 includes an $11.6 million gain on the sale of certain oil and gas rights, included within other income, net, on the consolidated statement of operations. Fiscal year 2024 also includes a $2.3 million gain on the sale of assets for our idled Houston, PA facility included within gain on asset sales and sales of businesses, net, on the consolidated statement of operations.

**Managed Working Capital** 

As part of managing the performance of our business, we focus on controlling Managed Working Capital, which we define as gross accounts receivable, short-term contract assets and gross inventories, less accounts payable and short-term contract liabilities. We exclude the effects of inventory valuation reserves and reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable when computing this non-GAAP performance measure, which is not intended to replace Working Capital or to be used as a measure of liquidity. We employ several strategies to actively manage our Managed Working Capital, seeking to effectively balance the need to maintain appropriate levels of Managed Working Capital to support our growth and operations, while deploying our cash efficiently. Our strategies to actively manage our Managed Working Capital include, but are not limited to, taking advantage of favorable customer and supplier payment terms, participating in supplier financing programs, accounts receivable factoring arrangements and other customer financing programs, managing the timing of purchases of raw materials, and leveling manufacturing process throughput and shipping to limit periodic increases in Managed Working Capital. We assess Managed Working Capital performance as a percentage of the prior three months' annualized sales to evaluate the asset intensity of our business.

At December 28, 2025, Managed Working Capital was 32.5% of annualized total ATI sales compared to 30.9% of annualized sales at December 29, 2024. The increase in Managed Working Capital as a percentage of annualized sales year over year was primarily due to inventory builds to support increased operating levels and the timing of shipments and vendor payments. The $80.8 million increase in overall Managed Working Capital in fiscal year 2025 is detailed in the table below. Days sales outstanding, which measures actual collection timing for accounts receivable, improved slightly by 3% as of December 28, 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024. Gross inventory turns, which measures how many times we turn over our inventory relative to cost of sales in a year, worsened by 8% in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024. We continue our focus on operational improvements to positively impact the inventory intensity of our business and reduce the required investment of Managed Working Capital in our growing business.

The computations of Managed Working Capital at December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 reconciled to the financial statement line items as computed under U.S. GAAP, were as follows.

**Financial Condition and Liquidity**

On June 13, 2025, we amended our Asset Based Lending (ABL) Credit Facility, which is collateralized by the accounts receivable and inventory of our operations and also provides us with the option of including certain machinery and equipment as additional collateral for purposes of determining availability under the facility. This amendment extended the facility through June 2030. The amended ABL includes a $600 million revolving credit facility, a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $200 million, a $200 million term loan (Term Loan), and a swing loan facility of up to $60 million. Additionally, the amendment gives the Company the ability, through June 13, 2026, and as long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, to borrow an additional term loan of up to $100 million in total, using one or two draws (the Delayed-Draw

------

Term Loan). The ABL Term Loan and any Delayed-Draw Term Loan can be prepaid in increments of $25 million if certain minimum liquidity conditions are satisfied. In addition, we have the right to request an increase of up to $300 million under the revolving credit facility for the duration of the ABL.

As of December 28, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit portion of the ABL, and $29.3 million was utilized to support the issuance of letters of credit. There were average revolving credit borrowings of $2.6 million bearing an average annual interest rate of 6.5% under the ABL during fiscal year 2025. There were no revolving credit borrowings under the ABL during fiscal year 2024.

The ABL Term Loan and Delayed-Draw Term Loan have an interest rate of 2.0% above the adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The applicable interest rate for revolving credit borrowings under the ABL credit facility includes interest rate spreads based on available borrowing capacity that range between 1.25% and 1.75% for SOFR-based borrowings and between 0.25% and 0.75% for base rate borrowings.

The ABL credit facility contains a financial covenant whereby we must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00:1.00 after an event of default has occurred and is continuing or if the undrawn availability under the ABL revolving credit portion of the facility is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the then applicable maximum loan amount under the revolving credit portion of the ABL and the outstanding ABL Term Loan balance, or (ii) $60.0 million. We were in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio as of December 28, 2025.

During 2025, we received $26.8 million of proceeds from the sale of non-core businesses previously reported in the HPMC segment and proceeds of $11.1 million from property, plant and equipment sales, primarily for oil and gas rights.

At December 28, 2025, we had total liquidity of $1.1 billion, comprised of $417 million of cash and cash equivalents, $569 million of undrawn capacity under the ABL credit facility, and up to $100 million of availability under the Delayed-Draw Term Loan. Our next meaningful debt maturity is $350 million of Senior Notes in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2027.

Our U.S. qualified defined benefit plan has approximately 2,000 participants. Based on current actuarial assumptions, we are required to make a $4 million contribution to the plan during fiscal year 2026. Using our long-term weighted average expected rate of return on pension plan assets and other actuarial assumptions, we expect to have approximately $40 million of minimum cash funding requirements to the defined benefit pension plan over the next ten years. Minimum cash funding requirements are not expected to be significant in any individual year. However, these funding estimates are subject to significant uncertainty including the actual pension trust assets and the discount rates used to measure pension liabilities.

Periodically, our Board of Directors authorizes the repurchase of ATI Common stock (the "Share Repurchase Program"), the most recent of which was $700 million that was announced in September 2024. In fiscal year 2025, ATI used $470 million to repurchase 6.4 million shares of its common stock under the Share Repurchase Program. As of December 28, 2025, there is $120 million of authorization remaining under the Share Repurchase Program. Repurchases under these programs can be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases are structured to occur within the pricing and volume requirements of SEC Rule 10b-18. The current Share Repurchase Program has no time limit, does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time by the Board of Directors without prior notice.

In managing our overall capital structure, we focus on the ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, which we use as a measure of our ability to repay our incurred debt. We define net debt as the total principal balance of our outstanding indebtedness excluding deferred financing costs, net of cash, at the balance sheet date. See the explanations above for our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures and are not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as alternatives to, a measure of operating performance as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio) measures net debt at the balance sheet date to Adjusted EBITDA as calculated on the trailing twelve-month period from this balance sheet date.

Our Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage ratio improved in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024, resulting from higher earnings and lower debt as a result of the redemption of the 2025 debentures. The reconciliations of our Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratios to the balance sheet and income statement amounts as reported under U.S. GAAP are as follows:

------

We believe that internally generated funds, current cash on hand and available borrowings under the ABL credit facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs, including the scheduled debt maturity in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2027. We regularly review our capital structure, various financing alternatives and conditions in the debt and equity markets in order to opportunistically enhance our capital structure and reduce financing costs. As a result, we may seek to refinance or retire existing indebtedness, incur new or additional indebtedness or issue equity or equity-linked securities, in each case, depending on market and other conditions. Further, in the event we seek additional or new financing, the cost, terms and conditions of such borrowings would be impacted by our credit rating. As of December 28, 2025, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of SEC Regulation S-K.

***Cash Flow***

Cash provided by operations was $614.3 million for fiscal year 2025 and $407.2 million fiscal year 2024. The 2025 period improvement was due to higher net income and improved working capital changes compared to the 2024 period, including cash flows from accounts receivable. Accounts receivable were positively impacted by the sale of $80 million of accounts receivable in exchange for cash under the new Receivables Facility. Working capital balances, and consequently cash from operations, can fluctuate throughout any operating period based upon the timing of receipts from customers and payments to vendors. However, we actively manage our working capital to allow for the required flexibility to meet our strategic objectives. Other significant fiscal year 2025 operating cash flow items included payment of 2024 annual incentive compensation. Other significant fiscal year 2024 operating cash flow items included payment of 2023 annual incentive compensation.

Cash used in investing activities was $234.5 million in fiscal year 2025, reflecting $280.6 million in capital expenditures to grow our capacity and capabilities with a focus on our aerospace & defense market. These investing activity outflows were partially offset by $26.8 million of proceeds from the sale of non-core businesses previously reported in the HPMC segment and proceeds of $11.1 million from property, plant and equipment sales, primarily for oil and gas rights. We expect to fund our capital expenditures with cash on hand, cash flow generated from our operations and, if needed, by using a portion of the ABL credit facility. Cash used in investing activities was $159.6 million in fiscal year 2024, reflecting $239.1 million in capital expenditures to grow our capacity and capabilities with a focus on aerospace & defense. These investing activity outflows were partially offset by $48.0 million of proceeds from the sale of our New Bedford, MA operations and Remscheid, Germany operations and $27.6 million of proceeds from property, plant and equipment sales, which included $11.6 million of proceeds on the sale of certain oil and gas rights and $3.5 million of proceeds received for the sale of assets for our idled Houston, PA facility.

Cash used by financing activities in fiscal year 2025 was $699.9 million, which included $470.0 million to repurchase 6.4 million shares of ATI stock under our Share Repurchase Program, $150.0 million for the repayment of our 2025 debentures and $13.2 million in dividend payments to the 40% noncontrolling interest in our PRS joint venture in China. Cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2024 was $260.4 million, which included $260.0 million to repurchase 5.3 million shares of

------

ATI stock under our Share Repurchase Program and $16.0 million in dividend payments to the 40% noncontrolling interest in our PRS joint venture in China, partially offset by $76.1 million in cash received from the settlement of the capped call as a result of the redemption of the 2025 Convertible Notes.

At December 28, 2025, cash and cash equivalents on hand totaled $416.7 million, a $304.5 million decrease from fiscal year-end 2024. Cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries was $183.7 million at December 28, 2025, of which $97.6 million was held by our PRS joint venture in China.

(A)Amounts exclude $72 million for certain finance lease contracts the Company has agreed to enter into. See Note 11, Leases for further information.

(B)Amounts include contractual interest payments using the interest rates in effect as of December 28, 2025 applicable to the Company's ABL Term Loan due 2030, the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2027, the 4.875% Senior Notes due 2029, the 7.25% Senior Notes due 2030, and the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2031.

(C)Amounts include operating lease obligations at their undiscounted value. These obligations are presented in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at their discounted value, using applicable interest rates. See Note 11, Leases for further information.

(D)Based on current actuarial studies, amounts include payments for the next 10 years, which are not significant, to defined benefit pension plans, assuming the expected long-term returns on pension assets are achieved. Projections of minimum required payments to the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan are subject to significant uncertainty based on a number of factors including actual pension plan asset returns, changes in estimates of participant longevity, and changes in interest rates. Amounts also include actuarial projections of payments under other post-employment benefit plans for the next 10 years. In most retiree healthcare plans, our contributions are capped based on the cost as of a certain date. See Note 14, Retirement Benefits for further information.

(E)We have contracted for physical delivery for certain of our raw materials to meet a portion of our needs. These contracts are based upon fixed or variable price provisions. We used current market prices as of December 28, 2025, for raw material obligations with variable pricing.

(F)We have various contractual obligations that extend through fiscal year 2031 for services involving production facilities, information technology services and administrative operations. Our purchase obligation as disclosed represents the estimated termination fees payable if we were to exit these contracts.

(G)At December 28, 2025, drawn amounts on the U.S. facility were $29.3 million utilized for standby letters of credit under the $600 million ABL credit facility, which renew annually. These standby letters of credit are used to support: $19.6 million in workers' compensation and general insurance arrangements, $5.4 million related to environmental matters and $4.3 million for performance assurances.

------

***Commitments and Contingencies***

At December 28, 2025, our reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled approximately $15 million, of which $7 million was included in other current liabilities. These reserves included estimated probable future costs of: $2 million for federal Superfund and comparable state-managed sites; $7 million for formerly owned or operated sites for remediation or indemnification obligations; and $6 million for owned or controlled sites at which our operations have been or plan to be discontinued. We continue to evaluate whether we may be able to recover a portion of future costs for environmental liabilities from third parties and to pursue such recoveries where appropriate. The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site. ATI expects that it will expend present accruals over many years and that remediation of all sites with which it has been identified will be completed within thirty years.

Asset retirement obligations (AROs) recorded by the Company were $8 million at December 28, 2025. These AROs related to landfill closures, decommissioning costs, facility leases and conditional AROs associated with manufacturing activities using what may be characterized as potentially hazardous materials. During fiscal year 2024, we derecognized $10 million of AROs in connection with the sale of our precision rolled strip operations.

Based on currently available information, it is reasonably possible that the costs for active matters may exceed our recorded reserves by as much as $16 million. However, future investigation or remediation activities may result in the discovery of additional hazardous materials, potentially higher levels of contamination than discovered during prior investigation, and may impact costs of the success or lack thereof in remedial solutions. Therefore, future developments, administrative actions or liabilities relating to environmental matters could have a material adverse effect on the ATI's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

***Retirement Benefits***

ATI's defined benefit pension plans are closed to new entrants, and at most ATI operations with pension participants, the plans are frozen for all future benefit accruals, with less than 700 participants still accruing benefit service. Additionally, all of the remaining collectively-bargained defined benefit retiree health care plans at ATI's operations are now closed to new entrants, with cost caps in place for these obligations. As a result of these actions, ATI's retirement savings and other postretirement benefit programs have largely transitioned to a defined contribution structure. From fiscal years 2013 to 2022, five annuity buyouts of retired participants and two voluntary cash out programs of deferred participants helped to reduce the total participants in ATI's U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans by more than 60%. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, we purchased group annuity contracts from an insurer covering approximately 85% of our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan obligations. Under these contracts, we transferred the pension obligations and associated assets for approximately 8,200 plan participants to the selected insurance company. To facilitate this pension derisking strategy, we completed a voluntary cash out for term vested employees and contributed $222 million to our pension plan in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, to fully fund remaining pension liabilities ahead of this annuity transaction. After these actions, our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan includes approximately 2,000 participants.

At December 28, 2025, our defined benefit pension plans were approximately 86% funded in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and were remeasured at that date using a 5.90% discount rate to measure the projected benefit obligation. Discount rates used to measure pension liabilities for U.S. qualified defined benefit plans for ERISA funding purposes are calculated on a different basis using an IRS-determined segmented yield curve. Funding requirements are also affected by IRS-determined mortality assumptions, which may differ from those used under accounting standards. Based on current actuarial assumptions, we are required to make a $4 million contribution to our qualified defined benefit pension plan during fiscal year 2026. Using our long-term weighted average expected return on pension plan assets and other actuarial assumptions, we expect to have approximately $40 million of minimum cash funding requirements to the qualified defined benefit pension plan over the next ten years. Minimum cash funding requirements are not expected to be significant in any individual year. However, these estimates are subject to significant uncertainty, including the performance of our pension trust assets and the discount rates used to measure pension liabilities. Pension trust asset performance for both our accounting and ERISA funding calculations is determined using the market value of plan assets at the end of each year.

**Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income**

ATI utilizes Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to assist in assessing operating performance on a consistent basis across multiple reporting periods by removing the impact of special items, which can vary from period to period, that management does not believe are directly reflective of the Company's core operations. The Company defines special items as significant non-recurring or non-operational charges or credits, including restructuring charges or credits, gains or losses on the sale of accounts receivable, strike related costs, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, debt extinguishment charges, pension remeasurement gains and losses, other postretirement/pension curtailment and settlement gains and losses, and gains or losses on sales of businesses.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income, excluding net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and special items.

Management believes presenting this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it (1) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial and operating performance by excluding certain items management believes do not directly impact the Company's core operations, (2) permits investors to view performance using the same metrics that management uses to forecast, evaluate performance, and make operating and strategic decisions, and (3) provides additional information useful to investors on a period-to-period consistent basis that are commonly used to analyze companies' operating performance. Management believes that consideration of Adjusted EBITDA, together with Net Income, and the corresponding reconciliation, provides investors with additional understanding of the Company's performance and trends that would be absent such disclosures.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not superior to or as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides the reconciliation of net income attributable to ATI to the Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP financial measures:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. When more than one accounting principle, or the method of its application, is generally accepted, management selects the principle or method that is most appropriate in our specific circumstances. Application of these accounting principles requires our management to make estimates about the future resolution of existing uncertainties; as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of the amounts and disclosures included in the financial statements giving due regard to materiality.

------

***Asset Impairment***

We monitor the recoverability of the carrying value of our long-lived assets. An impairment charge is recognized when the expected net undiscounted future cash flows from an asset's use (including any proceeds from disposition) are less than the asset's carrying value, and the asset's carrying value exceeds its fair value. Changes in the expected use of a long-lived asset group, and the financial performance of the long-lived asset group and its operating segment, are evaluated as indicators of possible impairment. Future cash flow value may include appraisals for property, plant and equipment, land and improvements, future cash flow estimates from operating the long-lived assets, and other operating considerations.

Goodwill is reviewed annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Other events and changes in circumstances may also require goodwill to be tested for impairment between annual measurement dates. At December 28, 2025, the Company had $225.2 million of goodwill on its consolidated balance sheet, all of which relates to the HPMC segment.

We performed quantitative goodwill assessments for the two HPMC reporting units with goodwill during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. Fair values were determined using discounted cash flows, which represents Level 3 unobservable information in the fair value hierarchy. These quantitative assessments and valuations require us to make estimates and assumptions regarding revenue growth, changes in working capital, capital expenditures, selling prices, income taxes, and profitability, all of which impact estimated future cash flows. In addition, discounted cash flow valuations are impacted by the determination of our weighted cost of capital (WACC), which also requires us to exercise judgment and make estimates. Although we believe that the estimates and assumptions used were reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. For example, the WACC utilized in our discounted cash flow assessments was 10.5% and long-term growth rates ranged from 3% to 3.5%. The estimated effect of a 1% change in the WACC would result in a 15% change in the fair value of the Specialty Materials reporting unit and less than a 2% change in the fair value of the Forged Products reporting unit.

Further, to validate the reasonableness of the estimated fair values of the reporting units as of the valuation date, a reconciliation of the aggregate fair values of all reporting units to our market capitalization is performed, taking into account a reasonable control premium.

The $225.2 million of goodwill remaining as of December 28, 2025 on our consolidated balance sheet is comprised of $159.2 million at the Forged Products reporting unit and $66.0 million at the Specialty Materials reporting unit. The goodwill impairment assessment performed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 determined that our Specialty Materials and Forged Products reporting units' had fair values in excess of their respective carrying values. As a result, no impairments were determined to exist. In addition, no indicators of impairment were observed in fiscal year 2025 associated with any of our long-lived assets.

***Income Taxes***

The provision for income taxes includes deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences in income for financial and tax purposes using the liability method. Such temporary differences result primarily from differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Future realization of deferred income tax assets requires sufficient taxable income within the carryback and/or carryforward period available under tax law. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets.

The evaluation includes the consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, regarding the estimated future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, historical taxable income in prior carryback periods if carryback is permitted, and potential tax planning strategies which may be employed to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused. In situations where a three-year cumulative loss condition exists, accounting standards limit the ability to consider projections of future results as positive evidence to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances are established when it is estimated that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

***Retirement Benefits***

We have defined contribution retirement plans or benefit pension plans covering substantially all of our employees. We also sponsor several postretirement plans covering certain hourly and salaried employees and retirees that provide health care and life insurance benefits for eligible employees. Company contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are generally based on a percentage of eligible pay or based on hours worked, and are funded with cash.

ATI's defined benefit pension plans are closed to new entrants, and at most ATI operations with pension participants, the plans are frozen for all future benefit accruals, with less than 700 participants still accruing benefit service. Additionally, all of the remaining collectively-bargained defined benefit retiree health care plans at ATI's operations are now closed to new entrants, with cost caps in place for these obligations. As a result of these actions, ATI's retirement savings and other postretirement benefit programs have largely transitioned to a defined contribution structure.

------

Under U.S. GAAP, amounts recognized in financial statements for defined benefit pension plans are determined on an actuarial basis, rather than as contributions are made to the plan. A significant element in determining our pension income or expense in accordance with the accounting standards is the expected investment return on plan assets. In establishing the expected return on plan investments, which is reviewed annually in the fourth quarter, we take into consideration input from our third-party pension plan asset managers and actuaries regarding the types of securities the plan assets are invested in, how those investments have performed historically, and expectations for how those investments will perform in the future. Our weighted average expected long-term return on pension plan investments was 5.80% in fiscal year 2025. The expected long-term rate of return on pension plan investments for fiscal year 2026 will be 5.80%. We apply the assumed rate of return to the market value of plan assets at the end of the previous year. This produces the expected return on plan assets that is included in annual pension expense for the current year. The actual returns on pension plan assets for fiscal year 2025 was 5.9%. The effect of increasing, or lowering, the expected return on pension plan investments by 0.25% would result in additional pre-tax annual income, or expense, of approximately $1 million. The cumulative difference between the expected return and the actual return on plan assets is immediately recognized in earnings through net periodic pension benefit cost within nonoperating retirement benefit expense on the consolidated statements of operations when pension plans are remeasured annually in the fourth quarter or on an interim basis as triggering events require remeasurement. The amount of expected return on plan assets can vary significantly from year-to-year since the calculation is dependent on the market value of plan assets as of the end of the preceding year. U.S. GAAP allows companies to calculate the expected return on pension assets using either an average of fair market values of pension assets over a period not to exceed five years, which reduces the volatility in reported pension income or expense, or their fair market value at the end of the previous year. However, the SEC does not permit companies to change from the fair market value at the end of the previous year methodology, which is the methodology that we use, to an averaging of fair market values of plan assets methodology. As a result, our results of operations and those of other companies, including companies with which we compete, may not be comparable due to these different methodologies in calculating the expected return on pension investments.

We also determine the discount rate used to value pension plan liabilities as of the last day of our fiscal year. The discount rate reflects the current rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively settled. In estimating this rate, we receive input from our actuaries regarding the rates of return on high quality, fixed-income investments with maturities matched to the expected future retirement benefit payments. Based on this assessment, we established a discount rate of 5.90% for valuing the pension liabilities as of December 28, 2025, and for determining the pension expense for fiscal year 2026. The estimated effect of changing the discount rate by 0.50% would decrease pension liabilities in the case of an increase in the discount rate or increase pension liabilities in the case of a decrease in the discount rate, by approximately $20 million. Such a change in the discount rate would have an insignificant impact to pension expense. The effect on pension liabilities for changes to the discount rate, as well as the net effect of other changes in actuarial assumptions and experience, are immediately recognized in earnings through net periodic pension benefit cost within nonoperating retirement benefit expense on the consolidated statements of operations when pension plans are remeasured annually in the fourth quarter or on an interim basis as triggering events require remeasurement.

With respect to our postretirement plans, under most of the plans, our contributions towards retiree medical premiums are capped based upon the cost as of certain dates, thereby creating a defined contribution. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, postretirement expenses recognized in financial statements associated with defined benefit plans are determined on an actuarial basis, rather than as benefits are paid. We use actuarial assumptions, including the discount rate and the expected trend in health care costs, to estimate the costs and benefit obligations for these plans. The discount rate, which is determined annually at the end of each fiscal year, is developed based upon rates of return on high quality, fixed-income investments. At the end of fiscal year 2025, we determined the rate to be 5.30%, compared to a 5.60% discount rate in fiscal year 2024, and a 5.40% discount rate in fiscal year 2023. The estimated effect of changing the discount rate by 0.50% would decrease postretirement obligations in the case of an increase in the discount rate or increase postretirement obligations in the case of a decrease in the discount rate, by approximately $6 million. Such a change in the discount rate would have an insignificant impact to postretirement benefit expense. Based upon predictions of continued significant medical cost inflation in future years, the annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits of health care plans is 8.5% in 2026 and is assumed to gradually decrease to 4.0% in the year 2051 and remain level thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates can have a significant effect on the benefit obligation for health care plans, however, the Company's contributions for most of its retiree health plans are capped based on a fixed premium amount, which limits the impact of future health care cost increases.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

From time-to-time, the Company has made and may continue to make "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements in this report relate to future events and expectations and, as such, constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include those containing such words as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "would," "should," "will," "will likely result," "forecast," "outlook," "projects," and similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and include known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which the Company is unable to predict or control, that may cause our actual results or performance to materially differ from any future results or performance expressed or implied by such statements. Various of these factors are described in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and will be described from time-to-time in the Company filings with the SEC, including the Company's Annual Reports on Form 10-K and the Company's subsequent reports filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, which are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on the Company's website at www.atimetals.com. We assume no duty to update our forward-looking statements.

**Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

As part of our risk management strategy, we utilize derivative financial instruments, from time to time, to hedge our exposure to changes in energy and raw material prices, foreign currencies, and interest rates. We monitor the third-party financial institutions that are our counterparties to these financial instruments on a daily basis and diversify our transactions among counterparties to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. Fair values for derivatives were measured using exchange-traded prices for the hedged items including consideration of counterparty risk and ATI's credit risk. Our exposure to volatility in interest rates is presently not material, as nearly all of our debt is at fixed interest rates.

***Volatility of Interest Rates.*** We may enter into derivative interest rate contracts to maintain a reasonable balance between fixed- and floating-rate debt. ATI previously maintained a $50 million floating-for-fixed interest rate swap which converted a portion of the ABL Term Loan to a 4.21% fixed rate that matured during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. There are no outstanding derivative interest rate contracts at December 28, 2025.

***Volatility of Energy Prices.*** Energy resources markets are subject to conditions that create uncertainty in the prices and availability of energy resources. The prices for and availability of electricity, natural gas, oil and other energy resources are subject to volatile market conditions. These market conditions often are affected by political and economic factors beyond our control. Increases in energy costs, or changes in costs relative to energy costs paid by competitors, have and may continue to adversely affect our profitability. To the extent that these uncertainties cause suppliers and customers to be more cost sensitive, increased energy prices may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We use approximately 6 to 8 million MMBtu's of natural gas annually, depending upon business conditions, in the manufacture of our products. These purchases of natural gas expose us to risk of higher gas prices. For example, a hypothetical $1.00 per MMBtu increase in the price of natural gas would result in increased annual energy costs of approximately $6 to $8 million. We use several approaches to minimize any material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations from volatile energy prices. These approaches include incorporating an energy surcharge on many of our products and using financial derivatives or physical hedges to reduce exposure to energy price volatility.

At December 28, 2025, the outstanding financial derivatives used to hedge our exposure to energy cost volatility included natural gas hedges. At December 28, 2025, we hedged approximately 65% of our annual forecasted domestic requirements for natural gas for fiscal year 2026 and approximately 25% for fiscal year 2027. At December 28, 2025, the net mark-to-market valuation of the outstanding natural gas hedges was an unrealized pre-tax loss of $0.6 million, comprised of $1.0 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $0.1 million in other long-term assets, $1.3 million in other current liabilities and $0.4 million in other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet. For the year ended December 28, 2025, the effects of natural gas hedging activity increased cost of sales by $0.4 million.

***Volatility of Raw Material Prices.*** We use raw materials surcharge and index mechanisms to offset the impact of increased raw material costs; however, competitive factors in the marketplace can limit our ability to institute such mechanisms, and there can be a delay between the increase in the price of raw materials and the realization of the benefit of such mechanisms. For example, in fiscal year 2025 we used approximately 70 million pounds of nickel; therefore a hypothetical change of $1.00 per pound in nickel prices would result in increased costs of approximately $70 million. While we enter into raw materials futures contracts from time-to-time to hedge exposure to price fluctuations, such as for nickel, we cannot be certain that our hedge position adequately reduces exposure. We believe that we have adequate controls to monitor these contracts, but we may not be able to accurately assess exposure to price volatility in the markets for critical raw materials.

The majority of our products are sold utilizing raw material surcharges and index mechanisms. However, as of December 28, 2025, we had entered into financial hedging arrangements, primarily at the request of our customers, related to firm orders, for an aggregate amount of approximately 2 million pounds of nickel with hedge dates through fiscal year 2027. The aggregate

------

notional amount hedged is less than 5% of a single year's estimated nickel raw material purchase requirements. These derivative instruments are used to hedge the variability of a selling price that is based on the London Metals Exchange (LME) index for nickel, as well as to hedge the variability of the purchase cost of nickel based on this LME index. Any gain or loss associated with these hedging arrangements is included in sales or cost of sales, depending on whether the underlying risk being hedged was the variable selling price or the variable raw material cost, respectively. At December 28, 2025, the net mark-to-market valuation of our outstanding raw material hedges was an unrealized pre-tax gain of $0.5 million, comprised of $0.6 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $0.1 million in other current liabilities on the balance sheet.

***Foreign Currency Risk.*** Foreign currency exchange contracts are used, from time-to-time, to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency exchange rates. We sometimes purchase foreign currency forward contracts that permit us to sell specified amounts of foreign currencies expected to be received from our export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. In addition, we may also hedge forecasted capital expenditures and designate cash balances held in foreign currencies as hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions. At December 28, 2025, we had no significant outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

We may also use derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges to protect our results from certain fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, as well as to offset a portion of the foreign currency gains and losses generated by the remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. Changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange contract derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations, and we recognized $2.6 million of income and $2.2 million of expense, net, for settled foreign currency forward contracts that were not designated as hedges during the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, which offset foreign currency gains/losses in the relevant currency. We have no significant outstanding hedges that are not designated as of December 28, 2025.

| ***Goodwill impairment assessment*** | ***Goodwill impairment assessment*** |
| *Description of the Matter* | At December 28, 2025, the Company had $225 million of goodwill on its consolidated balance sheet. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The assessment of goodwill for impairment requires a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit that has goodwill associated with its operations to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the Company's carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be measured as the excess of the carrying value over the calculated fair value.<br>Auditing the Company's annual goodwill impairment assessment for the Company's reporting units was complex due to the use of valuation methodologies in the determination of the estimated fair value, which included the evaluation of the underlying assumptions, such as the discount rate. |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company's goodwill impairment evaluation process.<br>Our audit procedures to test management's impairment evaluation of the Company's reporting units included, among others, assessing the valuation methodologies, assessing the historical accuracy of management's estimates and performing independent sensitivity analyses. We involved our valuation specialists to assist in evaluating the methodologies and discount rate used to calculate the estimated fair value of the Company's reporting units. |

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

***Principles of Consolidation and Reporting***

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ATI Inc. and its subsidiaries. The financial results of majority-owned joint ventures are consolidated into the Company's operating results and financial position, with the minority ownership interest recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, and as equity attributable to the noncontrolling interests within total stockholders' equity. The results for the Shanghai STAL Precision Stainless Steel Company Limited (STAL) are reported on a one month lag (see Note 7 for further discussion). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Unless the context requires otherwise, "ATI" and the "Company" refer to ATI Inc. and its subsidiaries.

***Fiscal Year***

The Company follows a 4-4-5 or 5-4-4 fiscal calendar, whereby each fiscal quarter consists of thirteen weeks grouped into two four-week months and one five-week month, and its fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31. Unless otherwise stated, references to years in this Annual Report on Form 10-K relate to fiscal years, rather than calendar years. Fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 ended on December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. All fiscal years presented include 52 weeks of operations.

***Risks and Uncertainties and Use of Estimates***

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that the estimates are reasonable.

The Company markets its products to a diverse customer base, principally throughout the U.S. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of sales for any year presented. The core end markets for ATI's products are customers in the aerospace & defense, specialty energy, electronics, and medical markets.

At December 28, 2025, ATI has approximately 7,600 active employees, of which approximately 15% are located outside the U.S. Approximately 35% of ATI's workforce is covered by various collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), predominantly with the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied & Industrial Service Workers International Union (USW). On April 22, 2025, we reached agreements with the USW for new CBAs that cover approximately 1,100 USW represented full-time employees within our AA&S operations for a six-year term that extends through February 28, 2031.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less.

***Accounts Receivable***

Accounts receivable are presented net of a reserve for doubtful accounts of $4.2 million and $15.0 million at December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. Trade credit is extended based upon periodically updated evaluations of each customer's ability to perform its obligations. The Company determines a reserve for doubtful accounts based on an aging of accounts receivable and reviews of specific accounts identified as collection risks, as well as expected credit losses. Amounts are written-off against the reserve in the period it is determined that the receivable is uncollectible.

***Inventories***

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with the cost of inventories determined using either first in, first out (FIFO) or average cost methods. Costs include direct material, direct labor and applicable manufacturing and engineering overhead, and other direct costs. The term net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.

The Company evaluates product lines on a quarterly basis to identify inventory carrying values that exceed estimated net realizable value. The calculation of a resulting reserve, if any, is recognized as an expense in the period that the need for the reserve is identified. It is the Company's general policy to write-down to scrap value any inventory that is identified as slow-

------

moving or aged more than twelve months, subject to sales, backlog and anticipated order considerations. In some instances this aging criterion is up to twenty-four months. Inventory valuation reserves also include amounts pertaining to intercompany profit elimination between different subsidiaries.

***Long-Lived Assets***

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, including capitalized interest, and include long-lived assets acquired under finance leases. Depreciation is primarily recorded using the straight-line method. The Company periodically reviews estimates of useful life and production capacity assigned to new and in-service assets. Significant enhancements, including major maintenance activities that extend the lives of property and equipment, are capitalized. Costs related to repairs and maintenance are charged to expense in the period incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment retired or disposed of are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are included in income.

The Company monitors the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived assets. An impairment charge is recognized when an indicator of impairment occurs and the expected net undiscounted future cash flows from an asset's use (including any proceeds from disposition) are less than the asset's carrying value and the asset's carrying value exceeds its fair value. If an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying value of the long-lived asset is its new cost basis and this new cost basis is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. Assets to be disposed of by sale are stated at the lower of their fair values or carrying amounts and depreciation is no longer recognized.

***Leases***

The Company classifies leases as either operating or financing and records a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability on the consolidated balance sheets as further discussed below. The lease liability is equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments for the term of the lease, including any optional renewal periods determined to be reasonably certain to be exercised, using the discount rate determined at lease commencement. This discount rate is the rate implicit in the lease, if known; otherwise, the incremental borrowing rate (IBR) for the expected lease term is used. The Company's IBRs approximate the rate the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term at lease inception. The ROU asset is equal to the initial measurement of the lease liability plus any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date and any unamortized initial direct costs incurred by the lessee, less any unamortized lease incentives received. The Company has elected to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all asset classes, and has made an accounting policy election to apply the short-term exception, which does not require the capitalization of leases with terms of 12 months or less.

ROU assets for operating leases are classified in other long-term assets, and ROU assets for finance leases are classified in property, plant and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. For operating leases, short-term lease liabilities are classified in other current liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities are classified in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. For finance leases, short-term lease liabilities are classified in short-term debt, and long-term lease liabilities are classified in long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet. On the cash flow statement, payments for operating leases are classified as operating activities. Payments for finance leases are classified as a financing activity, except for the interest component of the payment which is classified as an operating activity.

The Company has lease contracts for real property and machinery and equipment. At inception of a contract, the Company determines whether the contract is or contains a lease. If the Company has a right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the asset, then the contract contains a lease. Several of the Company's real property lease contracts include options to extend the lease term, and the Company reassesses the likelihood of renewal on at least an annual basis. In addition, several real property leases include variable lease payments, for items such as common area maintenance and utilities, which are expensed as incurred as variable lease expense.

***Goodwill***

Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The review for goodwill impairment requires a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit that has goodwill associated with its operations with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If this comparison reflects impairment, then the loss would be measured as the excess of the carrying value over the calculated fair value.

Generally accepted accounting principles provide the option to qualitatively assess goodwill for impairment before completing a quantitative assessment. Under the qualitative approach, if, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, including both macroeconomic, industry and market factors, and entity-specific factors, the Company determines it is likely (more likely than not) that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then the quantitative impairment analysis is not required. The quantitative assessment may be performed each year for a reporting unit at the Company's option without

------

first performing a qualitative assessment. The Company's quantitative assessments of goodwill for possible impairment includes estimating the fair value of a reporting unit which has goodwill associated with its operations using discounted cash flows. These impairment assessments and valuation methods require the Company to make estimates and assumptions regarding revenue growth, changes in working capital and capital expenditures, selling prices and profitability that drive cash flows, and the weighted average cost of capital. Many of these assumptions are determined by reference to market participants identified by the Company. Although management believes that the estimates and assumptions used were reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Other events and changes in circumstances may also require goodwill to be tested for impairment between annual measurement dates. While a decline in stock price and market capitalization is not specifically cited as a goodwill impairment indicator, a company's stock price and market capitalization should be considered in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less that its carrying value. Additionally, a significant decline in a company's stock price may suggest that an adverse change in the business climate may have caused the fair value of one or more reporting units to fall below carrying value. A sustained decline in market capitalization below book value may be determined to require an interim goodwill impairment review.

***Environmental***

Costs that mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination or extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the safety or efficiency of property utilized in current operations are capitalized. Other costs that relate to current operations or an existing condition caused by past operations are expensed. Environmental liabilities are recorded when the Company's liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable, but generally not later than the completion of the feasibility study or the Company's recommendation of a remedy or commitment to an appropriate plan of action. The accruals are reviewed periodically and, as investigations and remediations proceed, adjustments of the accruals are made to reflect new information as appropriate. Accruals for losses from environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value. The accruals are not reduced by possible recoveries from insurance carriers or other third parties, but do reflect allocations among potentially responsible parties (PRPs) at Federal Superfund sites or similar state-managed sites after an assessment is made of the likelihood that such parties will fulfill their obligations at such sites and after appropriate cost-sharing or other agreements are entered. The measurement of environmental liabilities by the Company is based on currently available facts, present laws and regulations, and current technology. Such estimates take into consideration the Company's prior experience in site investigation and remediation, the data concerning cleanup costs available from other companies and regulatory authorities, and the professional judgment of the Company's environmental experts in consultation with outside environmental specialists, when necessary.

***Foreign Currencies***

Assets and liabilities of international operations are translated into U.S. dollars using fiscal year-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. The resulting net translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. Gains and losses for transactions denominated in foreign currencies are reported in costs of sales or general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations based on the underlying nature of the transaction.

***Sales Recognition***

The Company's contracts with customers are comprised of purchase orders, and for larger customers long-term agreements (LTAs). LTAs typically extend multiple years and are utilized by the Company and certain of its customers for its specialty materials, in the form of mill products, powders, parts and components, to reduce supply uncertainty. While LTAs generally define commercial terms including pricing, termination clauses and other contractual requirements, the Company has determined that the contract with a customer is typically established when the customer purchase order is accepted or acknowledged.

Contracts (purchase orders) with customers typically relate to the manufacturing of products, which are defined on a line by line basis, and each distinct good represents a single performance obligation that is satisfied at a point in time when control of the product passes to the customer. For most transactions, control passes at the time of shipment in accordance with agreed upon delivery terms. On occasion, shipping and handling charges occur after the customer obtains control of the good. When this occurs, the shipping and handling services are considered activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good. Sales for conversion services that transform customer-owned inventory to a different dimension, product form, and/or changed mechanical properties are recognized when the service is completed.

Pricing for the Company's products is also defined in the customer purchase order or LTA on a line item basis and, in some cases, includes variable consideration. Variable consideration is when the selling price of the good is not known or is subject to

------

adjustment under certain conditions. Types of variable consideration may include volume discounts, customer rebates and surcharges. ATI also provides assurances that goods or services will meet the product specifications contained within the acknowledged customer contract. As such, returns and refunds reserves are estimated based upon past product line history or, at certain locations, on a claim by claim basis.

Certain customer agreements involving production of parts and components require revenue to be recognized over time due to there being no alternative use for the product without significant economic loss and an enforceable right to payment including a normal profit margin from the customer in the event of contract termination. The Company uses an input method for determining the amount of revenue, and associated standard cost, to recognize over-time revenue, cost and gross margin for these customer agreements. The input methods used for these agreements include costs incurred and labor hours expended, both of which give an accurate representation of the progress made toward complete satisfaction of that particular performance obligation.

Contract assets are recognized when ATI's conditional right to consideration for goods or services have transferred to the customer. A conditional right indicates that additional performance obligations associated with the contract are yet to be satisfied. Contract assets are assessed separately for impairment purposes. When ATI's right to consideration from the customer is unconditional, this asset is accounted for as a receivable and presented separately from contract assets. A right is unconditional if nothing other than the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. Performance obligations that are recognized as revenue at a point-in-time and are billed to the customer are recognized as accounts receivable. Payment terms vary from customer to customer depending upon credit worthiness, prior payment history and other credit considerations.

Contract costs are the incremental costs of obtaining and fulfilling a contract (i.e., costs that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained) to provide goods and services to customers. Contract costs for ATI largely consist of design and development costs for molds, dies and other tools that ATI will own and that will be used in producing the products under the supply arrangement. Contract costs are classified as non-current assets and amortized to expense on a systematic and rational basis over a period consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates.

Contract liabilities are recognized when ATI has received consideration from a customer to transfer goods or services at a future point in time when the Company performs under the contract. Elements of variable consideration discussed above may be recorded as contract liabilities. In addition, progress billings and advance payments from customers for costs incurred to date are also reported as contract liabilities.

***Research and Development***

Research, development and technical service activities are closely interrelated and directed toward development of new products, improvement of existing products, quality assurance, development of new manufacturing methods, improvement of existing manufacturing methods, and reducing the Company's manufacturing costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Company funded research and development costs were $21.3 million in fiscal year 2025, $19.6 million in fiscal year 2024, and $20.7 million in fiscal year 2023. Customer funded research and development costs were $1.9 million in fiscal year 2025, $2.5 million in fiscal year 2024, and $1.4 million in fiscal year 2023.

***Government Assistance***

The Company enters into agreements with U.S. federal agencies, U.S. state and local governments, and foreign governments that provide financial assistance and incentives supporting both new capital projects to expand and enhance manufacturing capabilities and also to sustain and maintain existing operations. Depending on the nature of the government program, the financial impacts may be recorded as a reduction to cost of sales through direct offset of labor and overhead costs or lower depreciation expense, or as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses for property tax abatement or other similar categories. Benefits from government assistance are recognized as the activities are incurred, subject to ongoing assessments of meeting other relevant terms such as employment or expenditure levels.

ATI is a party to various U.S. states' economic development incentive programs that provide economic benefits in the forms of property tax relief or cash payments to offset capital expenditures. These programs generally include requirements for levels of capital spending and/or employment to qualify for the government assistance. For the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these state-level programs reduced selling, general and administrative expenses by $2.4 million, $1.7 million, $1.4 million, respectively, and cash receipts were $1.8 million, $2.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively. Receivables for ongoing programs are $1.2 million as of both December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024.

------

***Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Plans***

The remeasurement of projected benefit obligation and plan assets for defined benefit pension plans are immediately recognized in earnings through net periodic pension benefit cost within nonoperating retirement benefit expense on the consolidated statements of operations, with pension plans to be remeasured annually in the fourth quarter or on an interim basis as triggering events require remeasurement. For the remeasurement of projected benefit obligation and plan assets for defined benefit postretirement plans, the Company defers the recognition of these gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet, and the accumulated actuarial gains/losses are then amortized into net periodic benefit costs within nonoperating retirement benefit expense on the consolidated statements of operations over the average expected remaining life of plan participants.

***Stock-based Compensation***

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation transactions, such as nonvested restricted stock or stock units and performance equity awards, using fair value. Compensation expense for an award is estimated at the date of grant and is recognized 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 on awards which vest based solely on the attainment of market conditions, such as total shareholder return measures, is not adjusted based on the award attainment status at the end of the measurement period. Compensation expense is adjusted for estimated forfeitures over the award measurement period.

***Income Taxes***

The provision for, or benefit from, income taxes includes deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences in income for financial and tax purposes using the liability method. Such temporary differences result primarily from differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Future realization of deferred income tax assets requires sufficient taxable income within the carryback and/or carryforward period available under tax law.

The Company evaluates on a quarterly basis whether, based on all available evidence, it is probable that the deferred income tax assets are realizable. Valuation allowances are established when it is estimated that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The evaluation includes the consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, regarding the estimated future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, historical taxable income in prior carryback periods if carryback is permitted, and potential tax planning strategies which may be employed to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused. The verifiable evidence such as future reversals of existing temporary differences and the ability to carryback are considered before the subjective sources such as estimated future taxable income exclusive of temporary differences and tax planning strategies.

It is the Company's policy to classify interest and penalties recognized on underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense. It is also the Company's policy to recognize deferred tax amounts stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), which result from tax rate differences on changes in AOCI balances, as an element of income tax expense in the period that the related balance sheet item associated with the AOCI balance ceases to exist. In the case of derivative financial instruments accounted for as hedges, or marketable securities, ATI uses the portfolio method where the stranded deferred tax amount is recognized when all items of a particular category, such as cash flow hedges of a particular risk such as a foreign currency hedge, are settled. In the case of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, the stranded deferred tax balance is recognized as an element of income tax expense in the period the benefit plan is extinguished or divested.

***Net Income Per Common Share***

Basic and diluted net income per share are calculated by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the fiscal year. Diluted amounts assume the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive share equivalents outstanding. The calculations of all diluted income/loss per share figures for a period exclude the potentially dilutive effect of dilutive share equivalents if there is a net loss since the inclusion in the calculation of additional shares in the net loss per share would result in a lower per share loss and therefore be anti-dilutive.

**New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted**

In December 2023, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to income tax disclosures. This guidance requires entities to disclose specific categories in its annual rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This guidance also requires additional annual disclosures for income taxes paid and requires disaggregation of income before tax, between domestic and foreign, and income tax expense, between federal, state and foreign.

------

This guidance also eliminates several current disclosure requirements related to the nature and estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change in the unrecognized tax benefits balance in the next 12 months and making a statement that an estimate of the range cannot be made and disclosing the cumulative amount of each type of temporary difference when a deferred tax liability is not recognized because of the exceptions to comprehensive recognition of deferred taxes related to subsidiaries and corporate joint ventures. The Company adopted this new guidance for fiscal year 2025. The adoption of these changes did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements other than disclosure requirements which are included in Note 17.

**Pending Accounting Pronouncements**

In November 2024, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to expense disaggregation disclosures. This guidance requires entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses including (1) the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, (2) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements, (3) a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and (4) the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. This new guidance for annual disclosures will be effective for the Company for fiscal year 2027 and for interim disclosures will be effective for the Company for fiscal year 2028. The guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt this guidance and does not expect these changes to have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements other than disclosure requirements.

**Note 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets**

At December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company reported goodwill amounts of $225.2 million and $227.2 million, respectively, on its consolidated balance sheet, all of which relates to the HPMC segment. Goodwill decreased by $2.0 million during fiscal year 2025 due to the sale of the Company's East Hartford, Connecticut operations and related allocation of goodwill from the Forged Products reporting unit.

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment evaluation in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The $225.2 million of goodwill as of December 28, 2025 on the Company's consolidated balance sheet is comprised of $159.2 million at the Forged Products reporting unit and $66.0 million at the Specialty Materials reporting unit. For the Company's annual goodwill impairment evaluation in fiscal year 2025, quantitative goodwill assessments were performed for these two reporting units.

Fair values were determined using discounted cash flows, which represents Level 3 unobservable information in the fair value hierarchy. These quantitative assessments and valuations require estimates and assumptions regarding revenue growth, changes in working capital, capital expenditures, selling prices, income taxes, and profitability, all of which impact estimated future cash flows. In addition, discounted cash flow valuations are impacted by the determination of ATI's WACC, which also requires the Company to exercise judgment and make estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. For the annual goodwill impairment in fiscal year 2025, a WACC of 10.5% and long-term growth rates ranging from 3% to 3.5% were used in the discounted cash flow valuation. Further, to validate the reasonableness of the estimated fair values of the reporting units as of the valuation date, a reconciliation of the aggregate fair values of all reporting units to market capitalization was performed using a reasonable control premium. Although the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions used were reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Based on the annual goodwill impairment evaluation for fiscal year 2025, the Company determined that the fair values of the Specialty Materials and Forged Products reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. As a result, it was concluded that no impairments existed for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025. Also, there were no impairments for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

No indicators of impairment were observed in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 associated with any of the Company's long-lived assets. Accumulated goodwill impairment losses as of December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $528.0 million.

Other intangible assets, which are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 28, 2025** | **December 28, 2025** | **December 29, 2024** | **December 29, 2024** |
| *<u>(in millions)</u>* | **Gross<br>carrying<br>amount** | **Accumulated<br>amortization** | **Gross<br>carrying<br>amount** | **Accumulated<br>amortization** |
| Technology | $**60.5** | $**(44.4)** | $61.2 | $(41.8) |
| Customer relationships | **24.5** | **(14.3)** | 24.8 | (13.5) |
| Trademarks | **48.2** | **(38.6)** | 48.8 | (35.8) |
| Total amortizable intangible assets | $**133.2** | $**(97.3)** | $134.8 | $(91.1) |

---

During fiscal year 2025, total amortizable intangible assets, net, decreased approximately $0.5 million as a result of the sale of the Company's East Hartford, CT operations. This decrease consists of the sale of approximately $1.6 million of gross intangible assets, net of approximately $1.1 million of accumulated amortization.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was approximately $7.0 million for each of the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023. Annual amortization expense is expected to be approximately $7.0 million for each of the fiscal years 2026 through 2028 and $4.0 million in fiscal year 2029 and 2030.

**Note 6. Divestitures**

During fiscal year 2025, the Company completed the sale of its East Hartford, CT operations, an immaterial, non-core operation that was part of the Forged Products business unit, for $20.5 million. The Company recognized a gain of $0.8 million, which is reported in gain/loss on asset sales and sale of business, net, on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company received proceeds, net of transaction costs and working capital adjustments, of $19.3 million, which are reported as an investing activity on the consolidated statements of cash flows. In fiscal year 2024, this operation had external sales of approximately $37.0 million and income before tax of approximately $2.9 million.

During fiscal year 2025, the Company completed the sale of certain immaterial, non-core operations in Birmingham, UK and Dusseldorf, Germany, which were part of our European business in the HPMC Segment. A $3.7 million loss on the sale of these operations is reported in gain/loss on asset sales and sales of businesses, net, on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company received proceeds, net of transaction costs, of $5.0 million, which are reported as an investing activity on the consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company will receive additional proceeds of approximately $4.9 million during fiscal year 2026. In fiscal year 2024, these operations had external sales of approximately $39.1 million and income before tax of approximately $2.4 million.

During fiscal year 2024, the Company completed the sale of its precision rolled strip operations in New Bedford, MA, which was part of the Specialty-Rolled Products business in the AA&S segment, and Remscheid, Germany, which was part of our European business in the HPMC segment. A $52.9 million gain on sale of these operations is reported in gain on asset sales and sales of businesses, net, on the consolidated statement of operations for fiscal year 2024. The Company received proceeds, net of transaction costs, of $48.0 million and $2.5 million in fiscal years 2024 and 2025, respectively, which is reported as an investing activity on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

**Note 7. Joint Ventures**

The Company has a 60% interest in the Chinese joint venture known as STAL, which manufactures Precision Rolled Strip® (PRS) stainless products mainly for the electronics and automotive markets located in Asia. The remaining 40% interest in STAL is owned by China Baowu Steel Group Corporation Limited, a state authorized investment company whose equity securities are publicly traded in the People's Republic of China.

As a majority-owned joint venture, STAL is consolidated into the Company's operating results and financial position. The minority ownership interest is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, and as equity attributable to the noncontrolling interests within total stockholders' equity. Cash equivalents held by STAL as of December 28, 2025 were $97.6 million.

------

**Note 8. Asset Retirement Obligations**

The Company maintains reserves where a legal obligation exists to perform an asset retirement activity and the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. These asset retirement obligations (AROs) include liabilities where the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event, that may or may not be within the control of the entity. At December 28, 2025, the Company had recognized AROs of $8.3 million related to landfill closures, decommissioning costs, facility leases and conditional AROs associated with manufacturing activities using what may be characterized as potentially hazardous materials.

Estimates of AROs are evaluated annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if material new information becomes known. Accounting for asset retirement obligations requires significant estimation and in certain cases, the Company has determined that an ARO exists, but the amount of the obligation is not reasonably estimable. The Company may determine that additional AROs are required to be recognized as new information becomes available.

Changes in asset retirement obligations for the years ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 were as follows:

*Supplier Financing*

The Company participates in supplier financing programs with two financial institutions to offer its suppliers the option for access to payment in advance of an invoice due date. Under such programs, these financial institutions provide early payment to suppliers at their request for invoices that ATI has confirmed as valid at a pre-determined discount rate commensurate with the creditworthiness of ATI. As of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company had $52.8 million and $34.8 million, respectively, reported in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets under such programs.

*Accounts Receivable Securitization*

On September 19, 2025, ATI Specialty Materials, LLC ("Specialty Materials") and its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, ATI Securitization LLC ("ATI Securitization") entered into a three-year, $125.0 million Receivables Purchase and Financing Agreement (the "Receivables Facility") with PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, and certain Purchasers/Lenders party thereto. Under the Receivables Facility, Specialty Materials sells or contributes, on an ongoing basis, certain of its trade accounts receivable, together with related security and interests in the proceeds thereof, to its wholly owned subsidiary, ATI Securitization Holdings LLC (ATI Holdings). ATI Holdings subsequently sells or contributes those receivable and related security and interests to ATI Securitization, its wholly owned subsidiary, which is a consolidated bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity created for the sole purpose of transacting under the Receivables Facility. ATI Securitization may borrow from, and/or sell receivables under the Receivables Facility at fair value and will secure its obligations with a pledge of undivided interests in such receivables, together with related security and interest in the proceeds thereof. In all instances, Specialty Materials retains the servicing of the accounts receivable transferred, which includes collection and administrative activities. ATI has agreed to guarantee the performance of Specialty Materials obligations under the Receivables Facility.

The maximum aggregate funding available under the Receivables Facility is $125.0 million at any one time, subject to the availability of eligible receivables and other customary factors and conditions as well as covenants as set forth in the Receivables Facility. Amounts outstanding under the Receivables Facility accrue interest at an adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus the applicable margin. The Receivables Facility also requires the maintenance of a minimum utilization level equal to 50% of the facility amount.

ATI Securitization is a separate legal entity with its own creditors. In the event of a liquidation of ATI Securitization, its creditors would be entitled to be satisfied out of the assets of ATI Securitization prior to any assets or value becoming available to creditors or equity holders for other ATI entities. The assets of ATI Securitization, including any funds of ATI Securitization that may be commingled with funds of any of its affiliates for purposes of cash management and related efficiencies, are not available to pay creditors of ATI or any affiliate thereof, except to the extent collections of receivables are in excess of the amounts owed by ATI Securitization under the Receivables Facility.

Sales of accounts receivable under the Receivables Facility meet the sale criteria under ASC 860, *Transfers and Servicing ("ASC 860")*, and are derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet. Cash receipts, received at the time of the sale of receivables under the Receivables Facility, are classified as cash flow from operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. As the Company retains the servicing rights of the receivables sold, the Company assessed the associated servicing liability under ASC 860 and determined that the liability is immaterial to the Company's financial statements.

For the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, ATI Securitization sold $80.0 million of accounts receivable in exchange for $80.0 million of cash. The Company recorded a $1.8 million charge associated with the sale of the accounts receivable within selling and administrative expenses on its consolidated statement of operations and the amount is excluded from segment results.

There were no borrowings during the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025 under the Receivable Facility.

------

*Sale of Receivables Program*

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company entered into an accounts receivables purchase agreement (Receivables Purchase Agreement) with a third-party financial institution to periodically sell certain accounts receivables at a discount. These accounts receivable sales are accounted for as a sale of assets under ASC 860, *Transfers and Servicing,* as the Company's continuing involvement is limited to servicing the accounts receivable, collecting the payments for the underlying accounts receivables and remitting such collections to the financial institution. The financial institution is responsible for any credit risk associated with the sold accounts receivables. The Company receives the purchase price, equal to the accounts receivable less the discount, at the time of the sale.

The Company sold $94.2 million and $13.5 million of its receivables under this program during the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, resulting in de-recognition of the receivables from the Company's consolidated balance sheet. As of December 28, 2025, substantially all amounts under the Receivables Purchase Agreement have been repaid to the financial institution. The losses associated with these transactions of $0.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025 are reflected in the Company's consolidated statement of operations and are excluded from segment results. The loss on the sales of these accounts receivables were not material to the Company for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024. The cash received on these sales of accounts receivable during the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 is presented in changes in receivables within operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

*Other Customer Receivable Sales* 

In the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company sold $375 million, $300 million and $308 million, respectively, of certain customers' accounts receivables through programs established by those customers with third-party financial institutions. These customers have extended payment terms and provide the programs to enable suppliers to receive more timely payments. The Company has no continuing involvement with the receivables sold under these programs, including no servicing requirement. The proceeds from these transactions are presented in changes in receivables within operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The costs associated with these transactions of $5.3 million, $6.0 million and $6.3 million are reflected in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are excluded from segment results.

covenants. The transaction resulted in a reduction of long-term debt on the balance sheet, and the Company remains in compliance with all applicable debt agreements.

Interest expense was $110.7 million in fiscal year 2025, $124.2 million in fiscal year 2024, and $105.8 million in fiscal year 2023. Interest expense was reduced by $10.6 million, $11.8 million, and $13.5 million, in fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, from interest capitalization on capital projects. Interest and commitment fees paid were $117.8 million in fiscal year 2025, $131.4 million in fiscal year 2024, and $114.7 million in fiscal year 2023. Net interest expense includes interest income of $12.1 million in fiscal year 2025, $16.0 million in fiscal year 2024, and $13.0 million in fiscal year 2023.

Scheduled principal payments during the next five fiscal years are $31.6 million in 2026, $378.6 million in 2027, $23.6 million in 2028, $343.7 million in 2029, and $633.4 million in 2030. See Note 11, Leases, for the portion of these scheduled principal payments that are related to finance leases.

<u>2030 Senior Notes</u>

In August 2023, ATI issued $425.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% Senior Notes due 2030 (2030 Notes). Interest on the 2030 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 7.25% per year. The 2030 Notes will mature on August 15, 2030. Net proceeds were $418.8 million from this issuance, of which $222 million was used to fund ATI's U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan in order to facilitate a pension derisking strategy (see Note 14), and the remaining proceeds were used for liquidity and general corporate purposes. Underwriting fees and other third-party expenses for the issuance of the 2030 Notes were $6.2 million, and are being amortized to interest expense over the 7-year term of the 2030 Notes. The 2030 Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and equally ranked with all of its existing and future senior unsecured debt. The 2030 Notes restrict the Company's ability to create certain liens, to enter into sale leaseback transactions, guarantee indebtedness and to consolidate or merge all, or substantially all, of its assets. The Company has the option to redeem the 2030 Notes, as a whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, on at least 15 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice to the holders of the Notes at redemption prices specified in the 2030 Notes. The 2030 Notes are subject to repurchase upon the occurrence of a change in control repurchase event (as defined in the 2030 Notes) at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the 2030 Notes repurchased.

<u>2025 Convertible Notes</u>

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company notified holders of the $291.4 million outstanding principal amount of its 3.5% Convertible Notes due 2025 (2025 Convertible Notes) that they would be redeemed prior to their maturity date. The holders of any outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes had the right to convert the principal amount of such notes into shares of ATI's common stock prior to the redemption date. Any 2025 Convertible Notes not tendered for conversion prior to the redemption date were redeemed in cash at a redemption price equal to the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

As a result, $291.0 million principal amount of the outstanding notes was converted at a rate of 64.7178 shares of ATI common stock per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to a conversion price of $15.45 per share or 18.8 million shares of ATI common stock. Due to the early redemption of the 2025 Convertible Notes, the conversion rate was a premium to the conversion rate of 64.5745 shares of ATI common stock per $1,000 principal amount, or approximately $15.49 per share, that would have been due at maturity. The remaining $0.4 million of outstanding principal balance were not tendered for conversion and, as a result, the Company redeemed those for cash.

For those holders who exercised the conversion rights, the terms of the 2025 Convertible Notes provided that any accrued but unpaid interest at the date of conversion was forfeited. As a result, accrued interest from the last interest payment date of June 15, 2024 through the date of conversion, totaling $2.3 million, was credited to additional paid-in capital. In addition, the remaining unamortized deferred issuance costs of $1.6 million at the date of conversion were charged to additional paid-in capital.

Coincident with its redemption of the 2025 Convertible Notes, the Company also settled the capped call transactions initiated as part of the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes. The capped call transactions included a cap price of $19.76 per share and were settled for $76.1 million in cash, which is recorded as additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet and as a financing activity on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

------

The 2025 Convertible Notes had a 3.5% cash coupon rate that was payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 15 and December 15. Including amortization of deferred issuance costs, the effective interest rate up to the time of conversion was 4.2% for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Interest expense on the 2025 Convertible Notes was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | Fiscal Year | Fiscal Year |
| *(in millions)* | **2024** | 2023 |
| Contractual coupon rate | $**7.2** | $10.2 |
| Amortization of debt issuance costs | **1.3** | 1.9 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total interest expense | $**8.5** | $12.1 |

<u>Credit Agreements</u>

On June 13, 2025, the Company amended its Asset Based Lending (ABL) credit facility, which is collateralized by the accounts receivable and inventory of the Company's operations. This amendment extended the ABL Facility through June 2030. The amended ABL credit facility includes a $600 million revolving credit facility, a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $200 million, a $200 million term loan (Term Loan), and a swing loan facility of up to $60 million. Additionally, the amendment gives the Company the ability, through June 13, 2026 and as long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, to borrow an additional term loan of up to $100 million in total, using one or two draws (the Delayed Draw Term Loan). The Term Loan and any Delayed-Draw Loan each bear interest at a rate of 2.0% above adjusted SOFR and can be prepaid in increments of $25 million if certain minimum liquidity conditions are satisfied. In addition, the Company has the right to request an increase of up to $300 million under the revolving credit facility for the duration of the ABL. The ABL facility also provides the Company with the option of including certain machinery and equipment as additional collateral for purposes of determining availability under the facility. The Company previously maintained a $50 million floating-for-fixed interest rate swap which converted a portion of the ABL Term Loan to a 4.21% fixed interest rate that matured in June 2024.

The applicable interest rate for revolving credit borrowings under the ABL credit facility includes interest rate spreads based on available borrowing capacity that range between 1.25% and 1.75% for SOFR-based borrowings and between 0.25% and 0.75% for base rate borrowings. The ABL credit facility contains a financial covenant whereby the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00:1.00 after an event of default has occurred and is continuing or if the undrawn availability under the ABL revolving credit portion of the facility is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the then applicable maximum loan amount under the revolving credit portion of the ABL and the outstanding ABL Term Loan balance, or (ii) $60.0 million. The Company was in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio as of December 28, 2025. Additionally, the Company must demonstrate minimum liquidity specified by the facility during the 90-day period immediately preceding the stated maturity date of the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2027 and the 4.875% Notes due 2029. Costs associated with entering into the June 2025 ABL amendment were $2.8 million, and are being amortized to interest expense over the extended term of the facility ending June 2030, along with $1.9 million of unamortized deferred costs previously recorded for the ABL. The ABL, as amended, also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens or to enter into investments, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets and transactions with affiliates, some of which are more restrictive, at any time during the term of the ABL when the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio is less than 1.00:1.00 and its undrawn availability under the revolving portion of the ABL is less than the greater of (a) $120 million or (b) 20% of the sum of the maximum loan amount under the revolving credit portion of the ABL and the outstanding ABL Term Loan balance.

As of December 28, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving portion of the ABL, and $29.3 million was utilized to support the issuance of letters of credit. There were average revolving credit borrowings of $2.6 million bearing an average annual interest rate of 6.5% under the ABL during fiscal year 2025. There were no revolving credit borrowings under the ABL during fiscal year 2024. The Company also has foreign credit facilities, primarily in China, that total $73 million based on December 28, 2025 foreign exchange rates, none of which was drawn as of December 28, 2025 or December 29, 2024.

The Company has no off-balance sheet financing relationships as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of SEC Regulation S-K, with variable interest entities, structured finance entities, or any other unconsolidated entities. At December 28, 2025, the Company had not guaranteed any third-party indebtedness.

The Company has agreed to enter into certain finance lease contracts with lenders for progress payments on machinery and equipment that is being constructed at the request and specification of the Company. As of December 28, 2025, the lenders had made $38.0 million of progress payments on behalf of the Company, and $34.3 million of progress payments are scheduled to be paid. Upon payment of the final progress payments by the lenders, finance leases will commence, and $72.3 million, discounted using the applicable discount rates at lease inceptions, of ROU assets and lease liabilities will be recognized by the Company. The Company received payments payments of $9.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively, as proceeds on the sale of ongoing construction in progress projects that were converted to leases, for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023. There were no such payments in the fiscal year ended 2025. These payments are presented as investing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

**Note 12. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging**

As part of its risk management strategy, the Company, from time-to-time, utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to changes in raw material prices, energy costs, foreign currencies, and interest rates. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company accounts for most of these contracts as hedges.

The Company sometimes uses futures and swap contracts to manage exposure to changes in prices for forecasted purchases of raw materials, such as nickel, and natural gas. Under these contracts, which are generally accounted for as cash flow hedges, the price of the item being hedged is fixed at the time that the contract is entered into and the Company is obligated to make or receive a payment equal to the net change between this fixed price and the market price at the date the contract matures.

The majority of ATI's products are sold utilizing raw material surcharges and index mechanisms. However, as of December 28, 2025, the Company had entered into financial hedging arrangements primarily at the request of its customers, related to firm orders, for an aggregate notional amount of approximately 2 million pounds of nickel with hedge dates through fiscal year 2027. The aggregate notional amount hedged is less than 5% of a single year's estimated nickel raw material purchase requirements. These derivative instruments are used to hedge the variability of a selling price that is based on the London Metals Exchange (LME) index for nickel, as well as to hedge the variability of the purchase cost of nickel based on this LME index. Any gain or loss associated with these hedging arrangements is included in sales or cost of sales, depending on whether the underlying risk being hedged was the variable selling price or the variable raw material cost, respectively.

At December 28, 2025, the outstanding financial derivatives used to hedge the Company's exposure to energy cost volatility included natural gas cost hedges. At December 28, 2025, the company hedged approximately 65% of the Company's annual forecasted domestic requirements for natural gas for fiscal year 2026 and approximately 25% for fiscal year 2027.

While the majority of the Company's direct export sales are transacted in U.S. dollars, foreign currency exchange contracts are used, from time-to-time, to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency exchange rates for those transactions denominated in a non-U.S. currency. The Company sometimes purchases foreign currency forward contracts that permit it to sell specified amounts of foreign currencies expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. In addition, the Company may also hedge forecasted capital expenditures and designate cash balances held in foreign currencies as hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions. At December 28, 2025, the Company had no significant outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

The Company may enter into derivative interest rate contracts to maintain a reasonable balance between fixed- and floating-rate debt. The Company previously maintained a $50 million floating-for-fixed interest rate swap which converted a portion of the ABL Term Loan to a 4.21% fixed rate that matured during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. There are no outstanding derivative interest rate contracts at December 28, 2025.

------

There are no credit risk-related contingent features in the Company's derivative contracts, and the contracts contained no provisions under which the Company has posted, or would be required to post, collateral. The counterparties to the Company's derivative contracts were substantial and creditworthy commercial banks that are recognized market makers. The Company controls its credit exposure by diversifying across multiple counterparties and by monitoring credit ratings and credit default swap spreads of its counterparties. The Company also enters into master netting agreements with counterparties when possible.

The fair values of the Company's derivative financial instruments are presented below, representing the gross amounts recognized which are not offset by counterparty or by type of item hedged. All fair values for these derivatives were measured using Level 2 information as defined by the accounting standard hierarchy, which includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Assuming market prices remain constant with those at December 28, 2025, a pre-tax loss of $0.3 million is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months.

For derivative financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects earnings. For derivative financial instruments that are designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in current period results. There were no outstanding fair value hedges as of December 28, 2025 or December 29, 2024. The cash flow impact for all derivative financial instruments is reported in cash flows provided by operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company did not use net investment hedges for the periods presented. The effects of derivative instruments in the tables below are presented net of related income taxes, excluding any impacts of changes to income tax valuation allowances affecting results of operations or other comprehensive income, when applicable.

Activity with regard to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges for the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 were as follows (in millions):

(a)The gains (losses) reclassified from accumulated OCI into income related to the derivatives, with the exception of the interest rate swap, are presented in sales and cost of sales in the same period or periods in which the hedged item affects earnings. The gains (losses) reclassified from accumulated OCI into income on the interest rate swap are presented in interest expense in the same period as the interest expense on the ABL Term Loan is recognized in earnings.

The disclosures of gains or losses presented above for nickel and other raw material contracts and foreign currency contracts do not take into account the anticipated underlying transactions. Since these derivative contracts represent hedges, the net effect of any gain or loss on results of operations may be fully or partially offset.

The Company may also use derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges to protect the Company's results from certain fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, as well as to offset a portion of the foreign currency gains and losses generated by the remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. Changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange contract derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations, and the Company recognized $2.6 million of income and $2.2 million of expense, net, for settled foreign currency forward contracts that were not designated as hedges during the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, which offset foreign currency gains/losses in the relevant currency. We have no significant outstanding hedges that are not designated as of December 28, 2025.

(a)The total carrying amount for debt excludes debt issuance costs related to the recognized debt liability which is presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability.

In accordance with accounting standards, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards established three levels of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The availability of observable market data is monitored to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: Fair values were determined using Level 1 information.

Derivative financial instruments: Fair values for derivatives were measured using exchange-traded prices for the hedged items. The fair value was determined using Level 2 information, including consideration of counterparty risk and the Company's credit risk.

Short-term and long-term debt: The fair values of the 2025 Convertible Notes (prior to conversion in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024), the Allegheny Ludlum 6.95% Debentures due 2025, the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2027, the 4.875% Senior Notes due 2029, the 2030 Notes and the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2031 were determined using Level 1 information. The fair values of other short-term and long-term debt were determined using Level 2 information.

**Note 14. Retirement Benefits**

The Company has defined contribution retirement plans or defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all employees. Company contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are generally based on a percentage of eligible pay or based on hours worked. Benefits under the defined benefit pension plans are generally based on years of service and/or final average pay. The Company also sponsors several postretirement plans covering certain collectively-bargained salaried and hourly employees. The plans provide health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees. In most retiree health care plans, Company contributions towards premiums are capped based on the cost as of a certain date, thereby creating a defined contribution.

------

ATI instituted several initiatives over a multi-year period as part of its retirement benefit liability derisking strategy. Future benefit accruals for all participants in the U.S. defined benefit pension plans other than those subject to a CBA were frozen at the end of fiscal year 2014, and subsequently CBAs were negotiated to close these plans to new entrants. As a result of these actions, the Company has completely closed all defined benefit pension plans to new entrants, and has substantially limited the number of employees still accruing benefit service to less than 700 participants. Additionally, all of ATI's remaining collectively-bargained, capped defined benefit retiree health care plans are closed to new entrants. These liability management actions have transitioned ATI's retirement benefit and other postretirement benefit programs largely to a defined contribution structure. From fiscal years 2013 to 2022, five annuity buyouts of retired participants and two voluntary cash out programs of deferred participants helped to reduce the total participants in ATI's U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans by more than 60%. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company purchased group annuity contracts from an insurer covering approximately 85% of the Company's U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan obligations. Under these contracts, the Company transferred the pension obligations and associated assets for approximately 8,200 plan participants to the selected insurance company. To facilitate this pension derisking strategy, the Company completed a voluntary cash out for term vested employees and contributed $222 million to its pension plan in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, to fully fund remaining pension liabilities ahead of this annuity transaction. After these actions, the Company's U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan includes approximately 2,000 participants.

Costs for defined contribution retirement plans were $46.7 million in fiscal year 2025, $42.5 million in fiscal year 2024, and $38.8 million in fiscal year 2023. Company contributions to these defined contribution plans are funded with cash. Other postretirement benefit costs for a defined contribution plan under the terms of a CBA were $1.0 million for each of the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

The components of pension and other postretirement benefit expense for the Company's defined benefit plans included the following:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | Pension Benefits | Pension Benefits | Pension Benefits | Other Postretirement Benefits | Other Postretirement Benefits | Other Postretirement Benefits |

| Service cost - benefits earned during the year | $**5.3** | $5.8 | $6.0 | $**0.4** | $0.5 | $0.6 |
| Interest cost on benefits earned in prior years | **17.4** | 16.4 | 79.7 | **9.9** | 10.2 | 10.9 |
| Expected return on plan assets | **(15.9)** | (16.4) | (84.8) | **—** |  |  |

| Total retirement benefit expense (income) | $**25.8** | $20.2 | $69.7 | $**14.5** | $15.1 | $16.6 |

---

Under the Company's accounting method for recognizing actuarial gains and losses for its defined benefit pension plans, remeasurement of projected benefit obligation and plan assets for defined benefit pension plans are immediately recognized in earnings through net periodic pension benefit cost from remeasurements annually in the fourth quarter and on an interim basis due to triggering events that require remeasurement. This resulted in actuarial losses of $18.6 million, $14.1 million and $26.8 million in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, within nonoperating retirement benefit income/expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

On October 17, 2023, the Company completed a voluntary cash out for term vested employees and an annuity buyout related to approximately 8,200 U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan participants. As a result of the annuity buyout, ATI recognized a $41.7 million pretax settlement loss, which is recorded in nonoperating retirement benefit income/expense on the consolidated statement of operations.

Actuarial assumptions used to develop the components of defined benefit pension expense and other postretirement benefit expense were as follows:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | Pension Benefits | Pension Benefits | Pension Benefits | Other Postretirement Benefits | Other Postretirement Benefits | Other Postretirement Benefits |

| Weighted average expected long-term rate of return on assets (a) | **5.80%** | 5.80% | 5.80% - 6.57% | **— %** | —% | —% |

---

(a) Pension expense for fiscal year 2023 was initially measured at a 5.55% discount rate and 6.57% weighted average expected long-term rate of return on assets. The U.S. qualified pension plans were remeasured using a 6.40% weighted average discount rate and 5.80% weighted average expected long-term rate of return on assets as of October 17, 2023, following the annuity buyout of retirees.

Actuarial assumptions used for the valuation of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit obligations at the end of the respective periods were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | Pension Benefits | Pension Benefits | Other Postretirement Benefits | Other Postretirement Benefits |
| | Fiscal Year | Fiscal Year | Fiscal Year | Fiscal Year |

Retirement benefit expense for fiscal year 2026 for defined benefit plans is estimated to be approximately $23 million, comprised of $9 million for pension expense and $14 million of expense for other postretirement benefits. For other postretirement benefits, the net actuarial loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations using a corridor method. For both pension and other postretirement benefits, prior service cost (credit) amortization is recognized in level amounts over the expected service of the active membership as of the amendment effective date. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss that are expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost in fiscal year 2026 are:

---

Cash contributions to ATI's U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans were $272 million in fiscal year 2023. There were no cash contributions in fiscal year 2025 or 2024. The Company funds the U.S. defined benefit pension plans in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has a required cash contribution of $4 million to its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan in fiscal year 2026. In addition, for fiscal year 2026, the Company expects approximately $5 million of payments for U.S. nonqualified pension benefits.

The following table summarizes expected benefit payments from the Company's various pension and other postretirement defined benefit plans through fiscal year 2035, and also includes estimated Medicare Part D subsidies projected to be received during this period based on currently available information. Pension benefit payments for the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan are made from pension plan assets.

The annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (the health care cost trend rate) for health care plans was 8.5% in 2026 and is assumed to gradually decrease to 4.0% in the year 2051 and remain at that level thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates can have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans, however, the Company's contributions for most of its retiree health plans are capped based on a fixed premium amount, which limits the impact of future health care cost increases.

The fair values of the Company's pension plan assets are determined using net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient, or by information categorized in the fair value hierarchy level based on the inputs used to determine fair value, as further discussed in Note 13. The fair values at December 28, 2025 were as follows:

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Investments in U.S. equities and Fixed Income are predominantly held in common/collective trust funds and registered investment companies. Some of these investments are publicly traded securities and are classified as Level 1, while others are public investment vehicles valued using the NAV provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. These investments are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.

Private equity investments include both Direct Funds and Fund-of-Funds. Direct Funds are investments in Limited Partnership (LP) interests. Fund-of-Funds are investments in private equity funds that invest in other private equity funds or LPs. Fair value of these investments is determined utilizing net asset values, and are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.

Alternative investments include hedge fund and real estate investments that are made as a limited partner in funds managed by a general partner. Fair value of these investments is determined utilizing net asset values, and are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.

For certain investments which have formal financial valuations reported on a one-quarter lag, fair value is determined utilizing net asset values adjusted for subsequent cash flows and other significant events.

For fiscal year 2026, the expected long-term rate of return on defined benefit pension assets is 5.80%. In developing expected long-term rate of return assumptions, the Company evaluated input from its third party pension plan asset managers and actuaries, including reviews of their asset class return expectations and long-term inflation assumptions. An expected long-term rate of return is based on expected asset allocations within ranges for each investment category and projected annual compound returns. The Company's actual, weighted average returns on pension assets for the last five fiscal years have been 5.9% for 2025, (2.7)% for 2024, 2.0% for 2023, (14.5)% for 2022, and 12.4% for 2021.

The ATI Pension Plan (the Plan), the Company's remaining U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan, continues to invest in a diversified portfolio consisting of an array of asset classes that attempts to maintain the Plan's funded status while maximizing returns and minimizing volatility. These asset classes may include U.S. domestic equities, non-U.S. developed market equities, emerging market equities, hedge funds, private equity, traditional fixed income consisting of long government/credit and alternative credit, and real estate. The Company continually monitors the investment results of these asset classes and its fund managers, and explores other potential asset classes for possible future investment.

The ability to redeem investments at year-end are based on the type of investment and the agreements with fund managers. Generally, the Company's fixed income and equity investments are readily redeemable with limited restrictions. The ability to redeem investments in hedge funds can vary significantly. Managers may require longer notice periods and may limit the amount able to be redeemed in a period (e.g., month or quarter) to a percent of the overall investment. Investments in private equity are not redeemable at ATI's option. Distributions are based on the sale of the underlying investments in the fund, subject to the terms in each fund agreement.

The target asset allocations for ATI Pension Plan for fiscal year 2026, by major investment category, are:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **<u>Asset category</u>** | Target asset allocation range |
| Equities | 0% - 20% |
| Fixed income and cash equivalents | 50% - 100% |
| Private equity and other | 0% - 40% |

---

------

As of December 28, 2025, the Company's pension plan had outstanding commitments to invest up to $29 million in private equity investments. These commitments are expected to be satisfied through the reallocation of pension trust assets while maintaining investments within the target asset allocation ranges.

The Company contributes to several multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under collective bargaining agreements that cover certain of its union-represented employees. The risks of participating in such plans are different from the risks of single-employer plans, in the following respects:

a.Assets contributed to a multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.

b.If a participating employer ceases to contribute to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.

c.If the Company ceases to have an obligation to contribute to the multiemployer plan in which it had been a contributing employer, it may be required to pay to the plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan and on the history of the Company's participation in the plan prior to the cessation of its obligation to contribute. The amount that an employer that has ceased to have an obligation to contribute to a multiemployer plan is required to pay to the plan is referred to as a withdrawal liability.

The Company's participation in multiemployer plans for the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is reported in the following table.

(1)The most recent Pension Protection Act Zone Status is based on information provided to ATI and other participating employers by each plan, as certified by the plan's actuary. A plan in the "deep red" zone had been determined to be in "critical and declining status", based on criteria established by the Internal Revenue Code (Code), and is in critical status (as defined by the "red" zone) and is projected to become insolvent (run out of money to pay benefits) within 15 years (or within 20 years if a special rule applies). A plan in the "red" zone had been determined to be in "critical status", based on criteria established by the Code, and is generally less than 65% funded. A plan in the "yellow" zone has been determined to be in "endangered status", based on criteria established under the Code, and is generally less than 80% funded. A plan in the "green" zone has been determined to be neither in "critical status" nor in "endangered status", and is generally at least 80% funded. Additionally, a plan may voluntarily place itself into a rehabilitation plan.

In April 2019, the Company received notification from the IAM National Pension Fund (IAM Fund) that its' actuary certified the IAM Fund as "endangered status" for the plan year beginning January 1, 2019, and that the IAM Fund was voluntarily placing itself in "red" zone status and implementing a rehabilitation plan. Annually in April of each year from 2020 through 2025, the Company received notification from the IAM Fund that it was certified by its actuary as being in "red" zone status for each of these plan years from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2025. A contribution surcharge was imposed as of June 1, 2019 in addition to the contribution rate specified in the applicable collective bargaining agreements. The contribution surcharge remains in effect, and ends when an employer begins contributing under a collective bargaining agreement that includes terms consistent with the rehabilitation plan.

In April 2019, the Company received notifications from the Boilermakers-Blacksmiths National Pension Trust (Blacksmiths Trust) that it was certified by its actuary as being in "red" zone status for the plan year beginning January

------

1, 2019. A rehabilitation plan was adopted for the Blacksmiths Trust, and the Company and the Blacksmiths union agreed to adopt the rehabilitation plan in 2019 prior to a contribution surcharge being imposed. In April 2020 and 2021, the funding status improved for the Blacksmiths Trust as it was certified by its actuary as being in the "yellow" zone for the plan years beginning January 1, 2020 and 2021. In April 2022, the funding status further improved to being in the "green" zone for the plan year beginning January 1, 2022. In April 2023, the Blacksmiths Trust was certified by its actuary as being in "red" zone status for the plan years beginning January 1, 2023, and in April 2024 and April 2025, the Blacksmiths Trust was certified by its actuary as being in "red" zone status for the plan years ending December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, respectively. A rehabilitation plan has been adopted for the Blacksmiths Trust, and the Company and the Blacksmiths union agreed to adopt the rehabilitation plan in 2023 prior to a contribution surcharge being imposed.

(2)The "FIP / RP Status Pending / Implemented" column indicates whether a Funding Improvement Plan, as required under the Code by plans in the "yellow" zone, or a Rehabilitation Plan, as required under the Code to be adopted by plans in the "red" or "deep red" zones, is pending or has been implemented as of the end of the plan year that ended in 2025.

(3)The "Surcharge Imposed" column indicates whether ATI's contribution rate for 2025 included an amount in addition to the contribution rate specified in the applicable collective bargaining agreement, as imposed by a plan in "critical status" or "critical and declining status", in accordance with the requirements of the Code.

(4)The Company is party to six separate bargaining agreements that require contributions to this plan. Expiration dates of these collective bargaining agreements range between April 26, 2026 and March 31, 2029.

**Note 16. Stockholders' Equity**

***Preferred Stock***

Authorized preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, with designations, powers and preferences as shall be designated by the Board of Directors. At December 28, 2025, there were no shares of preferred stock issued.

***Dividends***

Under the ABL credit facility, there is no limit on dividend declarations or payments provided that the undrawn availability, after giving effect to a particular dividend payment, is at least the greater of $120 million and 20% of the total facility size, after giving effect to any repayment of term loans, and no event of default under the ABL credit facility has occurred and is continuing or would result from paying the dividend. In addition, there is no limit on dividend declarations or payments if the

------

undrawn availability is less than the greater of $120 million and 20% of the total facility size, after giving effect to any repayment of term loans, but more than the greater of $75 million and 12.5% of the total facility size, after giving effect to any repayment of term loans, if (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from paying the dividend, (ii) the Company demonstrates to the administrative agent that, prior to and after giving effect to the payment of the dividend (A) the undrawn availability, as measured both at the time of the dividend payment and as an average for the 60 consecutive day period immediately preceding the dividend payment, is at least the greater of $75 million and 12.5% of the total facility size, after giving effect to any repayment of term loans, and (B) the Company maintains a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00:1.00, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the ABL credit facility.

***Share-based Compensation***

In May 2022, the Company's stockholders approved the ATI Inc. 2022 Incentive Plan (the "2022 Incentive Plan"). Following adoption, all new share-based compensation awards are being made under the 2022 Incentive Plan. Shares previously remaining available for grant under prior incentive plans, or which become available for award due to the forfeiture or cancellation of prior awards under those prior plans, are available for award under the 2022 Incentive Plan. Outstanding grants previously made under prior incentive plans remain in effect in accordance with relevant terms.

Awards earned under the Company's share-based incentive compensation programs are paid with shares held in treasury or newly issued shares depending on the level of treasury shares held. At December 28, 2025, 5.2 million shares of common stock were available for future awards under the 2022 Incentive Plan. The general terms of each arrangement granted under the 2022 Incentive Plan, and predecessor plans, the method of estimating fair value for each arrangement, and award activity are reported below.

The Company's share-based incentive compensation program consists of both service-based and performance/market-based awards. These awards convey participants the right to receive shares of ATI common stock if the service conditions, and performance or market requirements, of the awards are attained.

**Service-based awards:**

Restricted share units (RSUs) are rights to receive shares of Company stock when the award vests. The RSUs generally vest over three years based on employment service, with one-third of the award vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. RSU awards to non-employee directors vest in one year. No dividends are accumulated or paid on the RSUs. The fair value of the RSU award is measured based on the stock price at the grant date.

Compensation expense related to RSU awards was $16.2 million in fiscal year 2025, $16.3 million in fiscal year 2024, and $14.5 million in fiscal year 2023. Approximately $8.6 million of unrecognized fair value compensation expense relating to restricted stock units is expected to be recognized through fiscal year 2028, with $6.6 million expected to be recognized in fiscal year 2026, including estimates of service period forfeitures. Activity under the Company's RSU awards for the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023 was as follows:

**Market condition awards:**

Beginning in fiscal year 2021, the Company awarded performance stock units (PSUs) with market requirements. Generally, these PSUs are issued at a target number of share units, and the number of shares ultimately awarded is based on the Company's total shareholder return (TSR), which represents the measured return of the Company's stock price (including assumed dividend reinvestment, if any) compared to the TSR (including assumed dividend reinvestment, if any) of a group of industry peers. These PSU awards are accounted for as a market condition plan with service vesting requirements, with expense recognized over the service period without regard to the level of TSR attainment or shares awarded. The actual number of

------

shares awarded at the end of the measurement period may range from a minimum of zero to a maximum of two times target. For the fiscal year 2021 and 2022 awards, TSR is determined over eight distinct quarterly periods as measured from January 1 of the grant year of the award through the end of each quarterly period starting with the first quarter ending in the second year following the grant of the award. For the 2023, 2024 and 2025 awards, TSR is determined over four distinct six-month periods as measured from January 1 of the grant year of the award through the end of each six-month period starting with the second quarter ending in the second year following the grant of the award; earned payouts from each TSR measurement period are averaged to determine the final payout at the conclusion of the three-year period. The fair value for this award was determined by using Monte Carlo simulations of stock price correlation, projected dividend yields and other variables over the three-year time horizon matching the TSR measurement period.

In fiscal year 2025, the Company awarded a new one-time grant of PSUs with market requirements, called the Enterprise Value Acceleration award (EVA). The EVA has a target number of share units, and the number of shares awarded is based on the absolute return on the Company's stock during a four-year measurement period. The service vesting requirements of the EVA award are four years for one half of the award and five years for the remaining half. The EVA award is accounted for as a market condition plan with service vesting requirements, with expense recognized over the service periods without regard to the level of absolute return attainment or shares awarded. The actual number of EVA shares awarded at the end of the measurement period may range from a minimum of zero to a maximum of three times target. The fair value for this award was determined by using Monte Carlo simulations of stock price correlation, projected dividend yields and other variables over the four-year time horizon matching the EVA measurement period.

In fiscal year 2022, the Company awarded a new one-time grant of PSUs with market requirements, called the Breakout Performance Award (BPA). In fiscal year 2025, 229,299 shares were issued due to retirement vesting. In fiscal year 2024, 6,530 shares were issued due to retirement vesting. In fiscal year 2023, 46,046 additional share units under the fiscal year 2022 BPA were awarded to new members of senior management and 4,807 shares were issued due to retirement vesting. The BPA has a target number of share units, and the number of shares awarded is based on the absolute return on the Company's stock during a four-year measurement period. The service vesting requirements of the BPA award are four years for one half of the award and five years for the remaining half. The BPA award is accounted for as a market condition plan with service vesting requirements, with expense recognized over the service periods without regard to the level of absolute return attainment or shares awarded. The actual number of BPA shares awarded at the end of the measurement period may range from a minimum of zero to a maximum of three times target. The fair value for this award was determined by using Monte Carlo simulations of stock price correlation, projected dividend yields and other variables over the four-year time horizon matching the BPA measurement period.

At December 28, 2025, a maximum of 3.7 million shares have been reserved for issuance for all PSU awards. The Company recognized $12.8 million, $17.8 million and $14.6 million of compensation expense in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for all PSU awards. Forfeited share units in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 were 7,400, 183,418, and 19,863, respectively, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $0.3 million, $5.1 million, and $0.5 million, respectively.

The fair value of each PSU award, the target share units awarded and projected future compensation expense to be recognized for these awards, including actual and estimated forfeitures at December 28, 2025 was as follows:

------

<sup>(1)</sup> State taxes in California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin made up the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category.

The Company has elected to recognize GILTI liabilities as an element of income tax expense in the period incurred.

Total credits in the current year are primarily related to research and development benefits and the disallowance of the above the line income related to the Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit (AMPC) as discussed in Note 18. While the AMPC is an above the line credit and refundable, if tax is due, the credit is first applied against the current tax liability. As a result, it has been considered associated with income taxes paid in the table below.

In fiscal year 2025, the income tax provision of $103.7 million includes discrete tax benefits of $6.0 million, which primarily related to share-based compensation, release of uncertain tax positions, and the release of valuation allowances. These were offset by unfavorable return to provision adjustments from the 2024 federal and state tax returns.

In fiscal year 2024, the income tax provision of $103.4 million includes discrete tax benefits of $6.2 million which includes $3.3 million for share-based compensation and $0.8 million related to the recognition of a stranded deferred tax valuation allowance in accumulated other comprehensive loss that was associated with the Company's interest rate swap due to its maturity (see Note 15).

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company was granted a preferential tax rate related to the PRS joint venture operations in China for tax years 2024 through 2026. The preferential tax rate is 15%, compared to the statutory rate of 25%. The Company must re-apply for the High and New-Technology Enterprise (HNTE) status every three years to be eligible for the preferential rate. This same preferential rate was in effect for tax years 2021-2023.

In fiscal year 2023, ATI recorded a tax benefit associated with the release of the valuation allowance due to the current year income for the U.S. operations and a $140.3 million additional benefit was recorded related to the valuation allowance release associated with ATI's ability to utilize projections for future income.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Valuation allowances are established when it is estimated that it is more likely than not the tax benefit of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, regarding the estimated future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, historical taxable income in prior carryback periods if carryback is permitted, and potential tax planning strategies which may be employed to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused. If the Company determines that it would not be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their recorded net amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would result.

The Company also maintained valuation allowances on deferred tax amounts recorded in AOCI in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 of $23.3 million, $23.3 million, and $24.1 million, respectively (see Note 15).

Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for financial and income tax reporting purposes, and differences between the fair value of assets acquired in business combinations accounted for as purchases for financial reporting purposes and their corresponding tax bases. Deferred income taxes represent future tax benefits or costs to be recognized when those temporary differences reverse. The categories of assets and liabilities that have resulted in differences in the timing of the recognition of income and expense at December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 were as follows:

------

The Company's valuation allowance for deferred taxes was $49.8 million at December 28, 2025, $57.7 million at December 29, 2024. The reduction in the valuation allowance in fiscal year 2025 was primarily due to a state valuation allowance release and and foreign tax restructuring activities. The reduction in the valuation allowance in fiscal year 2024 was primarily due to a state valuation allowance release, which was mostly offset by the expiration of state tax attributes for income tax purposes.

The Company has recorded $6.7 million of foreign withholding taxes on earnings expected to be repatriated to the U.S. The Company does not intend to distribute previously taxed earnings resulting from the one-time transition tax under the Tax Act, and has not recorded any deferred taxes related to such amounts. The remaining excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries is indefinitely reinvested, and the determination of any deferred tax liability on this amount is not practicable.

The following summarizes the carryforward periods for the tax attributes related to NOLs and credits by jurisdiction.

\* Jurisdiction was below the reporting threshold for the period presented.

Uncertain tax positions are recorded using a two-step process based on (1) determining whether it is more-likely-than-not the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company records the largest amount of the tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The changes in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits for the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

---

| | | | |

| Expiration of the statute of limitations | **(0.7)** |  | (1.4) |
| Balance at end of fiscal year | $**4.7** | $7.8 | $8.9 |

---

For fiscal years ended December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the liability includes $4.1 million, $6.9 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits that are classified within deferred income taxes as a reduction of NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes. The total estimated unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would affect ATI's effective tax rate is approximately $0.6 million.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. The amounts accrued for interest and penalty charges for the fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 were not significant. At December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the accrued liabilities for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

The Company, and/or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. A summary of tax years that remain subject to examination, by major tax jurisdiction, is as follows:

**Note 18. Business Segments**

The Company operates under two business segments: High Performance Materials & Components (HPMC) and Advanced Alloys & Solutions (AA&S).

HPMC is comprised of the Specialty Materials and Forged Products businesses, as well as the ATI Europe distribution operations thru 2024. Approximately 92% of its revenue is derived from the aerospace & defense markets including nearly 68% of its revenue from products for commercial jet engines and 11% from defense products. HPMC produces a wide range of high performance materials, components, and advanced metallic powder alloys. These products are made from nickel-based alloys and superalloys, titanium and titanium-based alloys, and a variety of other specialty materials. HPMC's capabilities range from cast/wrought and powder alloy development to final production of highly engineered finished components, and 3D-printed aerospace products.

AA&S segment includes the Specialty Alloys & Components business, the Specialty Rolled Products business, and the 60%-owned STAL PRS joint venture. See Note 7 for further information regarding the joint venture. AA&S produces nickel-based alloys, titanium and titanium-based alloys, and specialty alloys in a variety of forms including plate and sheet products. The major end markets for our flat rolled products are aerospace & defense, specialty and conventional energy, automotive, medical and electronics markets.

ATI's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the Chief Executive Officer. Segment EBITDA, the Company's segment operating measure, is used by the CODM to assess segment operating performance and to determine the allocation of resources. Segment EBITDA as a percentage of segment revenues is utilized to assess the profitability of each segment and whether the Company's strategies are resulting in margin expansion and expected operating performance improvements. The measure of Segment EBITDA excludes net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, goodwill impairment charges, debt extinguishment charges, corporate expenses, closed operations and other income (expense), restructuring and other credits/charges, gains or losses from the sale of accounts receivables, strike related costs, long-lived asset impairments, pension remeasurement gains and losses, other postretirement/pension curtailment and settlement gains and losses, and gains or losses on sales of businesses. Management believes Segment EBITDA, as defined, provides an appropriate measure of controllable operating results at the business segment level.

Intersegment sales are generally recorded at full cost or market.

<sup>(1)</sup> The CODM is regularly provided with allocated corporate overhead and Segment EBITDA, which is used to assess operating performance. Therefore, the significant expense categories and amounts align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM. Intersegment expenses are included within the amounts shown.

<sup>(2)</sup> Other segment items for each reportable segment include: cost of sales, general and administrative expenses, and gain/loss on asset sales. General & administrative expenses consist of non-manufacturing payroll and benefits, office expenses, professional service and legal expenses, occupancy expenses including rent and lease expense, and travel expense.

Total international sales were $1,947.6 million in fiscal year 2025, $1,836.9 million in fiscal year 2024, and $1,922.9 million in fiscal year 2023. Of these amounts, sales by operations in the U.S. to customers in other countries were $1,562.5 million in fiscal year 2025, $1,425.4 million in fiscal year 2024, and $1,498.7 million in fiscal year 2023.

Beginning in 2020, the U.S. government enacted various relief packages in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including refundable employee retention tax credits. The Company applied for these employee retention tax credits and deferred recognition of a portion of the tax credits pending the completion of any potential audit or examination, or the expiration of the related statute of limitations. During fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, the Company recognized a benefit of $7.2 million in cost of sales on the consolidated statement of operations due to the expiration of the statute of limitations for a portion of these credits. For the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, the Company recognized $4.4 million of the benefit in the HPMC segment and $2.8 million in the AA&S segment. See Note 21 for further explanation. In addition, results for the fiscal year

------

ended December 29, 2024 include $16.7 million related to this government sponsored COVID relief in Segment EBITDA. Results for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023 include $34.0 million related to this government sponsored COVID relief in Segment EBITDA.

AA&S Segment EBITDA in fiscal year 2024 and 2023 included benefits from tax credits of $22.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively, for the AMPC, which were reported in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations. Fiscal year 2024 Segment EBITDA also includes charges of $11.8 million, primarily reported in selling & administrative expenses, for a commercial negotiation with a customer, of which $6.3 million was included in the HPMC segment and $5.5 million in the AA&S segment.

Corporate expenses are primarily classified as selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations, and consist of salaries and benefits, incentive compensation, facility leases and other costs of ATI's corporate functions.

Closed operations and other expenses are primarily presented in selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. These items included costs at closed facilities, including legal matters, environmental, real estate and other facility costs, gains from the sale of non-core assets and foreign currency transaction gains and losses primarily related to ATI's European Treasury Center operation. Closed operations and other income (expense) for fiscal year 2025 includes an $10.5 million gain on the sale of certain oil and gas rights, included within other income, net, on the consolidated statement of operations, and unfavorable foreign currency transaction impacts as compared to the prior year. Closed operations and other income (expense) for fiscal year 2024 includes an $11.6 million gain on the sale of certain oil and gas rights, included within other income, net, on the consolidated statement of operations, and favorable foreign currency transaction impacts. Fiscal year 2024 also includes a $2.3 million gain on the sale of assets for the Company's idled Houston, PA facility, which is included within gain on asset sales and sales of businesses, net, on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company received $3.5 million of proceeds from this sale that are reported as an investing activity on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Closed operations and other expenses in fiscal year 2023 reflect higher insurance costs associated with an outstanding insurance claim involving our captive insurance company.

Depreciation expense in fiscal year 2023 includes $3.8 million of accelerated depreciation of fixed assets related to the restructuring of our European operations and the closure of our Robinson, PA operations.

Net loss on sales of businesses for fiscal year 2025 relate to the divestiture of certain immaterial, non-core operations. These include an $0.8 million gain on the sale of the Company's East Hartford, CT operations within the Forged Products business unit, and a $3.7 million loss on the sale of our European operations in Birmingham, UK and Düsseldorf, Germany, which were part of the HPMC segment. Proceeds, net of transaction costs of $19.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively, were received during fiscal year 2025 and are reported as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, with additional proceeds of approximately $4.9 million related to the European divestitures expected to be received within the next twelve months. Gain on sales of businesses for fiscal year 2024 is related to a $52.9 million gain on the sale of the Company's precision rolled strip operations in New Bedford, MA and Remscheid, Germany, for which $48.0 million and $2.5 million of proceeds, net of transaction costs, were received in 2024 and 2025, respectively, and are reported as an investing activity on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Loss on sales of businesses for fiscal year 2023 is related to a $0.6 million loss on the sale of the Company's Northbrook, IL operations, for which no proceeds were received but $0.3 million of transaction costs were paid and reported as an investing activity on the consolidated statement of cash flows. See Note 6 for further explanation regarding the sale of business transactions in fiscal years 2025 and 2024.

**Note 19. Restructuring and other charges**

For the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, restructuring and other charges were $48.8 million and include $25.8 million of start-up and transaction-related costs, $17.1 million of transformation-related costs, and $7.8 million of losses on the sale of customer accounts receivable, partially offset by credits of $1.9 million due to a reduction in severance-related reserves for approximately 45 employees for a previous restructuring in the AA&S segment. These costs were recorded in the consolidated statement of operations based on the nature of the charge, with $23.6 million recorded as cost of sales, $27.1 million recorded as selling and administrative expense and $1.9 million as restructuring credits on the consolidated statement of operations.

For the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, restructuring and other charges were $22.1 million and include $13.4 million of start-up costs and transaction-related costs, $4.6 million of charges associated with the Company's European restructuring, and $4.1 million of severance-related restructuring charges for approximately 100 employees primarily related to cost reduction actions in our domestic operation. These costs were recorded in the consolidated statement of operations based on the nature of the charge, with $15.3 million recorded as cost of sales, $2.7 million recorded as selling and administrative expenses and $4.1 million as restructuring charges on the consolidated statements of operations.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, restructuring and other charges were $31.4 million and include $7.7 million of severance-related restructuring charges and $23.7 million of charges included within cost of sales on the consolidated statements of operations. The $7.7 million of severance-related restructuring charges represent severance for the involuntary reduction of approximately 110 employees primarily for the restructuring of the European operations and across ATI's domestic operations. The $23.7 million of charges within cost of sales include $11.5 million of start-up costs, $1.9 million of costs associated with an unplanned outage at our Lockport, NY facility, and $10.3 million primarily for asset write-offs for the restructuring of our European operations and the closure of our Robinson, PA operations.

During fiscal year 2025, the Company derecognized $0.5 million of restructuring reserves in connection with the sale of non-core operations in Birmingham, UK and Dusseldorf, Germany (see Note 6 for further explanation). During fiscal year 2024, the Company derecognized $3.5 million of restructuring reserves in connection with the sale of its precision rolled strip operations (see Note 6 for further explanation). All of the $0.4 million restructuring reserve balance at December 28, 2025 is recorded in other current liabilities on the December 28, 2025 consolidated balance sheet. All of the $9 million restructuring reserve balance at December 29, 2024, is recorded in other current liabilities on the December 29, 2024 consolidated balance sheet.

Common stock that would be issuable upon the assumed conversion of the 2025 Convertible Notes, prior to their redemption during the third quarter of 2024, and other option equivalents and contingently issuable shares are excluded from the computation of contingently issuable shares, and therefore, from the denominator for diluted earnings per share, if the effect of inclusion is anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive shares for fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Periodically, the Company's Board of Directors authorizes the repurchase of ATI common stock (the "Share Repurchase Programs"). The current Share Repurchase Program of $700 million was announced in September 2024 and does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time by the Company's Board of Directors without prior notice. Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program are made in the open market, within the pricing and volume requirements of SEC Rule 10b-18, or in privately negotiated transactions, with the

------

amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. In fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, ATI used $470.0 million, $260.0 million and $85.2 million, respectively, to repurchase 6.4 million, 5.3 million and 2.0 million shares, respectively, of its common stock under the Share Repurchase Program. At December 29, 2025, the Company had utilized $580 million of the $700 million authorized under the Share Repurchase Program.

Effective January 2, 2023, the Company's share repurchases are subject to a 1% excise tax as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Excise taxes incurred on share repurchases represent direct costs of the repurchase and are recorded as part of the cost basis of the shares within treasury stock. The cost of share repurchases may differ from the repurchases of common stock amounts in the consolidated statements of cash flows due to these excise taxes. For fiscal year 2025, the cost of share repurchase of $474.2 million differs from the repurchases of common stock amounts in the consolidated statements of cash flows due to these excise taxes. For fiscal year 2024, there was no excise tax due to the impact of the conversion of the 2025 Convertible Notes (see Note 10). For fiscal year 2023, the cost of share repurchases of $85.8 million differs from the repurchases of common stock amounts in the consolidated statements of cash flows due to these excise taxes.

**Note 21. Commitments and Contingencies**

Future minimum rental commitments under leases are disclosed in Note 11. Commitments for expenditures on property, plant and equipment at December 28, 2025 were approximately $247.4 million.

The Company is subject to various domestic and international environmental laws and regulations that govern the discharge of pollutants and disposal of wastes, and which may require that it investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. The Company could incur substantial cleanup costs, fines, and civil or criminal sanctions, third party property damage or personal injury claims as a result of violations or liabilities under these laws or noncompliance with environmental permits required at its facilities. The Company is currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of its current and former sites, as well as third party sites.

Environmental liabilities are recorded when the Company's liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable. In many cases, however, the Company is not able to determine whether it is liable or, if liability is probable, to reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss. Estimates of the Company's liability remain subject to additional uncertainties, including the nature and extent of site contamination, available remediation alternatives, the extent of corrective actions that may be required, and the number, participation, and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties (PRPs). The Company adjusts its accruals to reflect new information as appropriate. Future adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations in a given period, but the Company cannot reliably predict the amounts of such future adjustments.

At December 28, 2025, the Company's reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled approximately $15.0 million, of which $7.0 million was included in other current liabilities. The reserve includes estimated probable future costs of $2.0 million for federal Superfund and comparable state-managed sites; $7.0 million for formerly owned or operated sites for which the Company has remediation or indemnification obligations; and $6.0 million for owned or controlled sites at which Company operations have been or plan to be discontinued. The Company continues to evaluate whether it may be able to recover a portion of future costs for environmental liabilities from third parties and to pursue such recoveries where appropriate.

Based on currently available information, it is reasonably possible that the costs for active matters may exceed the Company's recorded reserves by as much as $16.0 million. Future investigation or remediation activities may result in the discovery of additional hazardous materials, potentially higher levels of contamination than discovered during prior investigation, and may impact costs associated with the success or lack thereof in remedial solutions. Therefore, future developments, administrative actions or liabilities relating to environmental matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site. The Company expects that it will expend present accruals over many years and that remediation of all sites with which it has been identified will be completed within thirty years.

------

A number of other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its currently and formerly owned businesses, including those pertaining to product liability, environmental, health and safety matters and occupational disease (including as each relates to alleged asbestos exposure), as well as patent infringement, commercial, government contracting, construction, employment, employee and retiree benefits, taxes, environmental, and stockholder and corporate governance matters. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations for that period.

Beginning in 2020, the U.S. government enacted various relief packages in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, one of which was the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). The CARES Act included, among other items, provisions relating to refundable employee retention payroll tax credits. The Company applied for these employee retention tax credits and recognized a portion of the benefit from these credits as they were received in the statement of operations in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (see Noe 18). Due to the complex nature of the employee retention credit computations, the Company deferred recognition of a portion of the tax credits pending the completion of any potential audit or examination, or the expiration of the related statute of limitations. During the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, the Company recognized a benefit of $7.2 million in cost of sales on the consolidated statement of operations due to the expiration of the statute of limitations for a portion of these credits. As of December 28, 2025, the Company has approximately $5.0 million of remaining deferred retention tax credits, of which the statute of limitations expires in 2028.

In August 2024, the Company received notice that it and certain of its affiliates are parties to two lawsuits captioned (1) *William L. Schoen, Mary J. Nesbit, Robin L. Rosewicz, George E. Poole and James E. Swartz, Jr., individually and as representatives of a class of participants and beneficiaries of the Allegheny Technologies Incorporated Pension Plan v. ATI Inc., The Allegheny Technologies Incorporated Pension Plan Administrative Committee, State Street Global Advisors Trust Co., and John Does 1-5 (Case No. 2:24-cv-01109)* and (2) J*ohn Souza and Karen Souza, individually and as representatives on behalf of a class of similarly situated persons v. ATI Inc. and State Street Global Advisors Trust Co. (Case No. 2:24-cv-01214)*, both of which are filed in federal district court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. These lawsuits, which were consolidated in late 2024, assert various claims associated with the Company's October 2023 purchase of group annuity contracts to transfer a portion of its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan obligations to Athene Annuity and Life Company and Athene Annuity & Life Assurance of New York. We filed a Motion to Dismiss the consolidated claims in January 2025. Following an August 2025 hearing on the Motion to Dismiss, the magistrate judge covering the Motion issued a report recommending that all the plaintiffs' claims be dismissed for lack of standing. The recommendation remains subject to review and disposition by the presiding judge. We dispute and intend to vigorously defend against these claims, but given the preliminary nature of these matters, cannot predict their outcome or estimate any range of reasonably possible loss at this time.

**Note 22. Subsequent Event**

On February 18, 2026, ATI's Board of Directors of ATI authorized additional share repurchase of up to $500 million, which is in addition to the existing share repurchase authorization of approximately $120.0 million. Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur within the pricing and volume requirements of SEC Rule 10b-18. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and it may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time by the Board of Directors without prior notice.

**Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure**

Not applicable.

**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures**

(a) <u>Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.</u>

In accordance with Securities Exchange Act Rules 13-1-15(e) and 15d-15(e), our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 28, 2025.

(b) <u>Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.</u>

------

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting can also be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2025. In making this assessment, the Company's management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Based on that assessment, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 28, 2025, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report issued an attestation report on effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2025.

(c) <u>Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting.</u>

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

***Management's Certifications***

The certifications of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are included as Exhibits 31 and 32 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, in fiscal year 2025, the Company's Chief Executive Officer provided to the New York Stock Exchange the annual CEO certification pursuant to Section 303A regarding the Company's compliance with the New York Stock Exchange's corporate governance listing standards.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of ATI Inc.

**Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting** 

We have audited ATI Inc. and Subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, ATI Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and statements of changes in consolidated equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 28, 2025, and the related notes and our report dated February 20, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

**Basis for Opinion**

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**Exhibit 10.16**

**ENTERPRISE VALUE ACCELERATION AWARD AGREEMENT<br>PURSUANT TO THE<br>ATI 2022 INCENTIVE PLAN**

This Enterprise Value Acceleration Award Agreement (this "<u>Agreement</u>") is made as of the 5th day of December, 2025 (the "<u>Grant Date</u>") by and between ATI Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Company</u>"), and **___________** (the "<u>Participant</u>").

WHEREAS, the Company sponsors and maintains the Allegheny Technologies Incorporated 2022 Incentive Plan (the "<u>Incentive Plan</u>");

WHEREAS, the Company desires to encourage the Participant to remain an employee of the Company and, during such employment, to contribute substantially to the financial performance of the Company;

WHEREAS, to provide that incentive, the Company awarded the Participant the number of performance-vested restricted stock units (singular "<u>PSU</u>" and plural "<u>PSUs</u>") shown below at target-level achievement, related to the common stock of the Company, $0.10 par value per share ("<u>Common Stock</u>"), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including restrictive covenants, set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the PSUs are subject to the Company's attainment of the performance requirements set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement and the Participant's ongoing employment by the Company on each applicable vesting date set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein;

WHEREAS, the Company and the Participant desire to evidence the award of the PSUs and the terms and conditions applicable thereto in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Incentive Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, including the Restrictive Covenants set forth in Section 12 of this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound, the Company and the Participant agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.**<u>Grant of PSUs</u>**. The Company hereby grants to the Participant a target amount of **______** PSUs (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(d) of the Incentive Plan) as of the Grant Date. The target amount of PSUs represents the right to receive an equivalent number of Shares upon the achievement of the Performance Goals referenced in Section 3 below, and continued employment requirements referenced in Section 4 below, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Incentive Plan. The actual number of Shares in respect of the PSUs that become earned shall be determined based on the level of achievement of the Performance Goals, as determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 3 below (or Section 8(a), upon a Change in Control), except as otherwise provided herein.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.**<u>Performance Period</u>**. The overall Performance Period for the PSUs shall be the period commencing on January 1, 2026 and ending on December 31, 2029.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.**<u>Earned PSUs Based on Performance Goals</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The PSUs may be earned based on the attainment of specified Share price goals measure based on the average Fair Market Value of the Common Stock during any twenty (20) consecutive trading days (each a "<u>Measurement Period</u>") within the Performance Period as described below (except as otherwise provided in Section 8(a) below upon a Change in Control) (each a "<u>Share Price Performance Goal</u>" and collectively the "<u>Performance Goals</u>"), representing a substantial increase in the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the Grant Date. Any earned PSUs shall become vested subject to the Participant's continuous employment with the Company on the Vesting Dates set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in Section 5 of this Agreement. If prior to the expiration of the Performance Period, the Performance Goals are not achieved at any level, no PSUs shall be considered earned, and the PSUs shall be forfeited on December 31, 2029 for no consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The number of PSUs that become earned under this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the schedule on <u>Appendix A</u> based on the attainment of a Share Price Performance Goal during each Measurement Period within the Performance Period calculated in accordance with the methodology set forth on <u>Appendix A</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)During the Performance Period at such times as the Committee may decide and on or as soon as administratively practicable following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall certify the extent to which the PSUs have been earned during the Performance Period. Upon certification by the Committee of the earned PSUs based on the attainment of a Share Price Performance Goal, such earned PSUs shall be fixed subject to increase based on the achievement of a Share Price Performance Goal at a higher level during a subsequent Measurement Period, but not decrease (other than due to the application of the Maximum Dollar Value or the TSR Floor (as such terms are defined in <u>Appendix A</u>)) and eligible to vest based on the service-based vesting requirement as set forth in Section 4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.**<u>Service-Based Vesting</u>**. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5 and subject to the Maximum Dollar Value limitation and TSR Floor, the Participant shall vest in the earned PSUs subject to this Agreement, one-half on each of December 31, 2029 and December 31, 2030 (each a "<u>Vesting Date</u>"), subject to the Participant's continued employment on the Vesting Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.**<u>Termination of Service Prior to December 31, 2030</u>**. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, if, prior to December 31, 2030, the Participant experiences a Termination of Service, whether initiated by the Company or the Participant and for any reason, all rights of the Participant to the PSUs that have not vested shall terminate immediately and be forfeited in their entirety without compensation to the Participant, without regard to performance during any Measurement Period, and the forfeited PSUs shall be canceled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Termination of Service Due to Death Prior to a Change in Control</u>. If prior to December 31, 2030 and a Change in Control, the Participant experiences a Termination of Service due to the Participant's death, then the PSUs accruing to the Participant (determined as of the date of such Termination of Service, with the application of the Maximum Dollar Limitation but not the TSR Floor) but not yet vested shall become immediately vested as of the date of such Termination of Service, and the Shares with respect thereto to the extent not yet delivered shall be delivered as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) following the date of such Termination of Service.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Disability Prior to a Change in Control</u>. If prior to December 31, 2030 and a Change in Control, the Participant incurs a Disability (as defined in <u>Appendix B</u>), then the PSUs accruing to the Participant (determined as of the date of such Disability, with the application of the Maximum Dollar Limitation but not the TSR Floor) but not yet vested shall become immediately vested as of the date of such Disability, and the Shares with respect thereto shall be delivered as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) following the date of such Disability; <u>provided</u> that, prior to any delivery date, the Participant does not breach any of the restrictive covenants set forth herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Termination of Service Due to Retirement Prior to a Change in Control</u>. If, prior to December 31, 2030 and a Change in Control, the Participant experiences a Termination of Service due to the Participant's Retirement (as defined in <u>Appendix B</u>), then the PSUs shall remain outstanding and eligible to be earned on a prorated basis, in each case as set forth in this Section 5(c). If the Termination of Service occurs prior to December 31, 2029, the number of earned Shares shall equal the number of Shares underlying the PSUs that are determined by the Committee to be accrued through the first to occur of (i) the one (1)-year anniversary of the date of the Participant's Termination of Service and (ii) the end of the Performance Period (the "<u>Applicable Measurement Period</u>"). The number of accrued Shares (that have not vested prior to the Termination of Service) shall be prorated based on a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of months the Participant was employed by the Company during the period commencing on January 1, 2026, through the end of the Performance Period (including any month during which the Participant remained employed by the Company for at least fifteen (15) days), and the denominator of which is forty-eight (48), with the resulting number of accrued Shares to vest and be delivered thirty (30) days after the first anniversary of the Participant's Retirement; <u>provided</u> that, (A) if the Initial Scheduled Payment Date occurs prior to such first anniversary, 50% of the Shares will settle on the Initial Scheduled Payment Date and the remaining 50% of Shares will settle on the first anniversary of the Participant's Retirement, and (B) if the Second Scheduled Payment Date occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Participant's Retirement, the remaining 50% of the Shares will settle on the Second Scheduled Payment Date (as the initial 50% would have settled on the Initial Scheduled Payment Date before the Participant's Retirement); , <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that, prior to any delivery date, the Participant does not breach any of the restrictive covenants set forth herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Disability and Certain Terminations Following a Change in Control</u>. If, prior to December 31, 2030, the Participant experiences (i) at any time following a Change in Control, a Disability or a Termination of Service due to the Participant's death, or Retirement (except as provided in the last sentence hereof), or (ii) during the two (2)-year period following a Change in Control due to a Termination of Service by the Company without Cause or a resignation by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined in <u>Appendix B</u> hereto), any Replacement Award (as defined in Section 8 below) granted in respect of the PSUs (for the avoidance of doubt, with the number of Shares subject to the PSUs to equal the number of Shares determined to be accrued in accordance with Section 8(a) below and without proration upon Retirement occurring after the Change in Control) shall vest in full immediately upon the date of the Participant's Disability or Termination of Service, as applicable, and the Shares with respect thereto shall be delivered as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) following the date of the Participant's Disability or Termination of Service, as applicable, subject to any required delay under Section 13 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (A) such Change in Control is not a Section 409A CIC or the Termination of Service due to Retirement occurs after the second anniversary of such Change in Control and (B) the Participant is (or prior to January 1, 2030 would be) Retirement eligible (without regard to any consent requirement), any such undelivered Shares as of the date of Termination of Service shall be delivered at the same times as would apply upon the Participant's Retirement under Section 5(c).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.**<u>Settlement of the Earned and Vested PSUs</u>**.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>General</u>. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Committee's determinations at the completion of the Performance Period pursuant to Section 3(c) above (and in no event later than the first to occur of the date that is thirty (30) days following the date of such determination and March 15, 2030), (such settlement date, the "<u>Initial Scheduled Settlement Date</u>") and as soon as practical and in no event later than thirty (30) days following the second Vesting Date (such settlement date, the "<u>Second Scheduled Settlement Date</u>," together with the Initial Scheduled Settlement Date, the "<u>Scheduled Settlement Dates</u>") or at the time specified in Section 5 and subject to Section 13 below, the vested and earned portion of the PSUs shall be settled by the issuance of Shares. If a Replacement Award is provided in connection with a Change in Control and is not previously fully settled or forfeited as provided herein, the Replacement Award shall be settled as soon as practical (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) following the applicable Scheduled Settlement Dates. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Replacement Award is not provided in connection with a Change in Control the accrued PSUs (as determined in accordance with Section 8(a)) shall be settled as soon as practicable (and in no event later than ten (10) days) following the Change in Control; <u>provided</u> that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Shares in respect of PSUs that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A shall be delivered at the earliest practicable date permitted by Section 409A that does not result in the imposition of tax penalties under Section 409A (taking into account the immediately following sentence and the payment timing rules of Section 5(d) that would apply to a Replacement Award). Nothing herein shall preclude the Company from settling the PSUs upon a Section 409A CIC, if they are not replaced by a Replacement Award, to the extent such settlement is effectuated in accordance with Treas. Regs. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Method of Delivery</u>. In settlement of the earned and vested PSUs, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to the Participant, Shares in the form of a certificate or proof of ownership in an aggregate amount equal to the number of Shares deliverable to the Participant in respect of the PSUs vesting on such date, unless the Company is using book-entry, in which case, the Company shall credit such Shares to the Participant's account. In any case, such Shares shall not be subject to transfer restrictions and shall not bear any legend or electronic notation limiting transferability. Upon payment or crediting of such Shares, the earned and vested PSUs shall be deemed fully settled and the Participant shall have no further rights in respect of such PSUs. No fractional Share shall be issued and any fractional earned and vested PSU shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, other than following a Change in Control, in which case the rules applicable to fractional Shares under the transaction agreement shall govern.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.**<u>Rights as a Stockholder</u>**. Until the issuance of the Shares in respect of earned and vested PSUs (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote, receive dividends or, dividend equivalents or any other rights as a holder of Common Stock shall exist with respect to the PSUs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.**<u>Change in Control</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Determination of the Performance Goals</u>. If a Change in Control occurs prior to the completion of the Performance Period (or in the case of a Participant who experienced a Retirement, prior to the end of the Applicable Measurement Period), the Performance Goals shall be deemed achieved, as of immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control, at the greater of (i) target level and (ii) the level of achievement of the Performance Goals, as determined by the Committee prior to the Change in Control, based on performance through the latest date preceding the Change in Control, and from and after the date of the Change in Control, the number of Shares subject to the PSUs shall be fixed based on such determination, which determination shall be made without application of\| the Maximum Dollar Value limitation or the TSR Floor.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Vesting</u>. If a Change in Control occurs prior to the completion of the Performance Period, the PSUs (if and to the extent not previously forfeited) that are earned at the level set forth in Section 8(a) above shall vest effective as of such Change in Control, except to the extent that another award meeting the requirements of Section 11(c) of the Incentive Plan (as determined by the Committee as of immediately prior to the Change in Control, in its sole discretion) is provided to the Participant to replace the earned PSUs (any award meeting the requirements of Section 11(c) of the Incentive Plan, a "<u>Replacement Award</u>"). From and after the Change in Control, any such Replacement Award shall vest solely based on the Participant's service through the Vesting Dates, subject to accelerated vesting on certain terminations of employment as set forth in Section 5 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(b), if the Participant has incurred a Termination of Service due to Retirement prior to the Change in Control, the Proration Fraction shall apply to the PSUs that are determined to be earned under Section 8(a) above. If Replacement Awards are provided, from and after the Change in Control, references herein to the PSUs shall refer to the Replacement Awards, and references to the Company include any surviving successor entity following the Change in Control, in each case unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.**<u>Withholding</u>**. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant or subject to any applicable tax for federal income tax purposes with respect to any PSUs, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, all federal, state and local income and employment taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld with respect to such amount. The Participant may direct the Company to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Participant, including the delivery of Shares that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The Company's obligation to deliver the Shares underlying the PSUs (or to make a book-entry or other electronic notation indicating ownership of the Shares) is subject to the condition precedent that the Participant either pay or provide for the amount of any such withholding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.**<u>No Right to Continued Employment; Effect on Benefit Plans</u>**. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Participant any right with respect to continuance of his or her employment or other relationship, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company, or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, to terminate his or her employment or other relationship, at any time. Income realized by the Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall not be included in the Participant's earnings for the purpose of any benefit plan in which the Participant may be enrolled or for which the Participant may become eligible, unless otherwise specifically provided for in such plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.**<u>Participant Representations</u>**. In connection with the grant of the PSUs, the Participant represents the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Participant has, if and to the extent deemed necessary or advisable in the judgment of the Participant, reviewed with the Participant's own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Participant is relying solely on such advisors, if any, and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that the Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Participant's own tax liability that may arise as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Participant has received, read and understood this Agreement and the Incentive Plan and agrees to abide by and be bound by their respective terms and conditions.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.**<u>Restrictive Covenants</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Non-Competition</u>. While employed by the Company and for a period of one (1) year after the Participant's Termination of Service with the Company for any reason, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, serve as an owner, principal, partner, employee, consultant, officer, director or agent of an entity, including a sole proprietorship, that engages or is planning to engage in any business in which the Company is engaged in any market in which the Company is engaged at the time of the Participant's Termination of Service, including, without limitation, the production and delivery of materials and products for the aerospace and defense, oil and gas/chemical and hydrocarbon processing industries, and electrical energy, medical, automotive, food equipment and appliance, and construction and mining markets (each such entity in such industry or market is referred to as a "<u>Competing Business</u>"). The Participant shall not be deemed to be in violation of this covenant solely by virtue of his or her ownership of not more than two percent (2%) of any company the stock of which is traded on a recognized securities exchange. References in this Section 12 to the "Company" shall include its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

The Company intends to restrict your activities following your employment with the Company only to the extent that your affiliation with a Competing Business may be detrimental to the Company. To avoid unduly restricting your future employment, you should consult with the Company's General Counsel (or officer of the Company fulfilling the same functions) if you intend to provide services to any potentially Competing Business during the one (1)-year restricted period. The Company will consider the individual circumstances of such requests and will not unreasonably withhold consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Non-Solicitation of Customers</u>. While employed by the Company and for a period of one (1) year after the Participant's Termination of Service with the Company for any reason, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, on behalf of a Competing Business solicit or attempt to divert the business or patronage of any business entity that has purchased materials or products from the Company within two (2) years prior to such Termination of Service and shall not assist any person or business entity in planning or making such a solicitation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Non-Solicitation of Employees</u>. While employed by the Company and for a period of one (1) year after the Participant's Termination of Service with the Company for any reason, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or assist another person or entity to solicit any person who consults with the Company or is employed by the Company to cease consulting with the Company or to leave the employ of the Company or to accept a consulting or other business relationship or employment with another person or entity, whether or not a Competing Business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Non-Disparagement</u>. The Participant shall not disparage the Company or its business, agents, servants, employees, officers or directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Confidentiality</u>. The Participant shall not disclose, divulge or use any non-public information of the Company, including, but not limited to, manufacturing processes, customer lists, marketing plans or procedure proprietary information and trade secrets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Notice of Rights under Applicable Law</u>. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall impair the Participant's rights under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable federal law or regulation or, for the avoidance of doubt, limit the Participant's right to receive an award for information provided to any government authority under such law or regulation. The Company hereby informs the Participant

------

that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, an individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (i) is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. Further, an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the employer's trade secrets to the attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Consideration and Remedies</u>. The Participant recognizes and acknowledges that the opportunity to earn compensation or receive Shares under this Agreement is adequate consideration for the covenants set forth in this Section 12. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company has no adequate remedy at law should the Participant violate or threaten to or attempt to violate any one or more of the covenants in this Section 12, and the Participant agrees that the Company is entitled to an injunction or other equitable relief restraining the Participant from violating or threatening to or attempting to violate any one or more of the covenants set forth in this Section 12 and, prior to a Change in Control, any PSUs that have not yet vested or Shares that have not yet been delivered to the Participant shall be forfeited as a result of any such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.**<u>Section 409A</u>**. This Agreement and the PSUs granted hereunder are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or an exemption or exclusion therefrom, and, with respect to PSUs that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Incentive Plan and this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in all respects in accordance with Section 409A of the Code (including with respect to the application of any defined terms, such as Change in Control, to PSUs that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation, which defined terms shall be interpreted to have the meaning required by Section 409A of the Code to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code). Each payment (including the delivery of Shares) under the PSUs that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. In no event may the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Participant is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company as in effect on the date of Termination of Service), amounts that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code that would otherwise be payable by reason of the Participant's Separation from Service during the six (6)-month period immediately following such Separation from Service shall instead be paid or provided on the earlier to occur of (i) the first business day following the date that is six (6) months following the Participant's Separation from Service and (ii) the date of the Participant's death.

**Appendix A<br><u>Average Share Price Performance Goals and Payout Percentages</u>** 

<br> <u>[Completed according to participant award]</u>

**<u>Calculation Methodology</u>**

• <u>Average Share Price</u>. The Average Share Price is calculated based on the sum of (i) the trailing ten-day average of Fair Market Value of a Share on each trading day of the Measurement Period, divided by the number of days in the Measurement Period, and (ii) cumulative dividends, if any, actually paid from and after January 1, 2026 through the last day of the applicable Measurement Period.

• <u>Fair Market Value</u>. The "<u>Fair Market Value</u>" means, as of any given trading date, the closing price of a Share on the New York Stock Exchange.

• <u>Achievement of Average Share Price Performance Goals</u>. If a Share attains an Average Share Price in Column A during any Measurement Period, the Participant shall accrue the number of Shares (rounded up or down to the nearest whole Share) based on the Payout Percentage in Column B (without regard to whether the Fair Market Value of a Share price subsequently decreases). There shall be no interpolation between the Average Share Prices and, if after achieving an Average Share Price a higher Average Share Price is achieved, the incremental additional number of Shares in respect of the PSUs shall be accrued (*i.e.*, if the $____ Average Share Price is achieved such ____ Shares are accrued and subsequently the $____ Average Share Price is Achieved, an additional __% of the target PSUs (representing an additional 4,444 Shares) shall be accrued).

• <u>Target and Maximum Shares Accrued</u>. The target number of Shares (100%) is accrued if the Average Share Price in Column A is $____ and the maximum number of Shares (300%) is accrued if the Average Share Price in Column A is $____

• <u>Maximum Dollar Value</u>. If the Average Share Price in Column A is in excess of $____ as of the last day of the final Measurement Period during the Performance Period (or the earlier applicable final Measurement Period, in the case of the events set forth in Sections 5(a) through 5(c)), the maximum number of Shares to be delivered in settlement of earned and vested PSUs shall have a value equal to $____ ("<u>Maximum Dollar Value</u>"). In such event, the maximum number of Shares shall be calculated by dividing the Maximum Dollar Value by the Average Share Price through the last day of the final Measurement Period during the Performance Period (or the earlier applicable final Measurement Period, in the case of the events set forth in Sections 5(a) through 5(c)), with 50% of the earned Shares to be delivered on the Initial Scheduled Settlement Date and the remaining 50% of the earned Shares to be delivered on the Second Scheduled Settlement Date. The number of earned Shares to be delivered in respect of vested PSUs shall not be limited by the Maximum Dollar Value from and after a Change in Control that occurs prior to December 31, 2029. For this purpose, including whether the Maximum Dollar Value has been reached, the Average Share Price of a Share shall be the Average Share Price through the last day of the final Measurement Period during the Performance Period (or the earlier applicable final Measurement Period, in the case of the events set forth in Sections 5(a) through 5(c)).

• <u>TSR Floor</u>. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in the event that the total shareholder return (the "TSR") at the end of the Performance Period is negative, then the total payout for the Performance Period may not exceed 34,188 Shares (the "<u>TSR Floor"</u>); <u>provided</u> that such

------

TSR Floor shall be inapplicable in the case of death as set forth in Section 5(a), Disability as set forth in Section 5(b) and from and after a Change in Control that occurs prior to December 31, 2029. TSR shall be the quotient of (i) the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the end of the Performance Period *minus* the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date *plus* the dividends paid as if they had been reinvested on each ex-dividend date during the Performance Period, as applicable, *divided by* (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. For purposes of determining the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date, the value shall be the average Fair Market Value of a Share for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the Grant Date. For purposes of determining the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the end of the Performance Period, the value shall be the average Fair Market Value of a Share for the trading days during the period of October 1, 2029 through December 31, 2029; <u>provided</u> that if the final Measurement Period occurs prior to December 31, 2029 is measured over less than a 48 month period due to the Participant's Retirement prior to a Change in Control, the Fair Market Value of a Share shall be the average Fair Market Value of a Share for the trading days during the 90 day period ending on the last day of the Applicable Measurement Period.

<u>Adjustment Event.</u> In the event of a change in capitalization or other adjustment event contemplated by Section 3(d) of the Plan that impacts the Common Stock and occurs prior to a Change in Control, the Share Price Performance Goals, Payout Percentages and number of Shares Accrued, each as set forth in the chart above shall be equitably adjusted as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion to be necessary to preserve the intended purpose of the PSUs.

------

**<u>Appendix B</u>**

A Participant is considered to have a "<u>Disability</u>" if he or she (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months; or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company.

"<u>Good Reason</u>" means, without the Participant's express written consent, the occurrence of any one or more of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)(i) a material diminution of the Participant's position, authorities, duties, responsibilities or status (including offices, titles, or reporting relationships) as an employee of the Company (or those of the supervisor to whom the Participant is required to report, including a requirement that the Participant report to a corporate officer or other employee rather than directly to the Board), in each case, from those in effect as of immediately prior to the Change in Control, or (ii) the assignment to the Participant of duties or responsibilities inconsistent with his or her position as of immediately prior to the Change in Control, other than an insubstantial and inadvertent act that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Participant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)the Company's requiring the Participant to be based at a location in excess of thirty-five (35) miles from the location of the Participant's principal job location or office immediately prior to the Change in Control, except for required travel on the Company's business to an extent consistent in all material respects with the Participant's business travel obligations as of immediately prior to the Change in Control;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)(i) a reduction in the Participant's annual base salary, (ii) a material reduction in the Participant's target annual incentive opportunity or (iii) a material reduction in the other compensation and benefits provided or made available to the Participant from the Company, in each case, from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or, if greater, following the Change in Control;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)a material breach of any Change in Control severance or similar agreement in place between the Company and the Participant, including the failure of the Company to obtain an unqualified agreement from any successor to the Company to assume and agree to perform the Company's obligations under any such agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)a material diminution in the budget over which the Participant retains authority relative to such budget immediately prior to the Change in Control; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)any purported attempt by the Company to terminate the Participant's employment other than for Cause or by reason of Disability occurring after an event constituting Good Reason.

The Participant's mental or physical incapacity following the occurrence of an event described above shall not affect his or her ability to terminate employment for Good Reason, and the

------

Participant's death following delivery of a notice of termination for Good Reason shall not affect the Participant's estate's entitlement to benefits provided upon a termination of employment for Good Reason.

To invoke a termination for Good Reason, the Participant must provide written notice to the Company of the existence of one or more of the conditions described above within ninety (90) days following the Participant's knowledge of the initial existence of such condition or conditions, specifying in reasonable detail the conditions constituting Good Reason, and the Company or its affiliate will have thirty (30) days following receipt of such written notice (the "<u>Cure Period</u>") during which it may remedy the condition. If the Company or the affiliate fails to remedy the condition constituting Good Reason during the applicable Cure Period, the Participant's Termination of Service must occur, if at all, within thirty (30) days following such Cure Period.

"<u>Retirement</u>" shall mean, (a) prior to a Change in Control, a termination of employment with the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company, with the consent of the Company at or after (i) attaining age 55 and (ii) completing five years of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and (b) following a Change in Control, a termination of employment with the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company at or after (i) attaining age 55 and (ii) completing five (5) years of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.

## Exhibit 10.17

**Exhibit 10.17**

**<u>Form of 2026 Performance-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Agreement</u>**

This Performance-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this "<u>Agreement</u>") is made as of the 5th day of January, 2026 (the "<u>Grant Date</u>") by and between ATI Inc., a Delaware company (the "<u>Company</u>"), and ___________ (the "<u>Participant</u>").

WHEREAS, the Company sponsors and maintains the Allegheny Technologies Incorporated 2022 Incentive Plan (the "<u>Incentive Plan</u>");

WHEREAS, the Company desires to encourage the Participant to remain an employee of the Company and, during such employment, to contribute substantially to the financial performance of the Company;

WHEREAS, to provide that incentive, the Company awarded the Participant the number of performance-vested restricted stock units (singular "<u>PSU</u>" and plural "<u>PSUs</u>") shown below, related to the common stock of the Company, $0.10 par value per share ("<u>Common Stock</u>"), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including restrictive covenants, set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the PSUs are subject to the Company's attainment of the performance requirements set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement (the "<u>Performance Goals</u>") and the Participant's ongoing employment by the Company until the end of the Performance Period, except as otherwise provided herein;

WHEREAS, the Company and the Participant desire to evidence the award of the PSUs and the terms and conditions applicable thereto in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Incentive Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, including the Restrictive Covenants set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound, the Company and the Participant agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.<u>Grant of PSUs</u>**. The Company hereby grants to the Participant a target amount of _____ PSUs (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(d) of the Incentive Plan) as of the Grant Date. The target amount of PSUs represents the right to receive an equivalent number of Shares upon the achievement of the Performance Goals referenced in Section 3 below at the target level of achievement set forth herein, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Incentive Plan. The actual number of Shares in respect of the PSUs that become earned and vested shall be determined based on the level of achievement of the Performance Goals, as determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 3 below (or Section 7(a), upon a Change in Control), except as otherwise provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.<u>Performance Period</u>**. The overall "<u>Performance Period</u>" for the PSUs shall be the period commencing on January 1, 2026 and ending on December 31, 2028.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.<u>Performance Goals and Payment of PSUs.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PSUs may be earned based on the achievement of the Performance Goals measured over the Performance Period (except as otherwise provided in Section 7(a) below upon a Change in Control) and subject to the Participant's continuous employment with the Company through the conclusion of the Performance Period, except as otherwise provided in Section 4 of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fifty percent (50%) of the PSUs (the "TSR Portion") shall be eligible to become earned and vested based on the Company's Total Shareholder Return ("<u>TSR</u>") as compared to that of the TSR Peer Group set forth on <u>Appendix A</u> hereto. As indicated in the table below, a percentage of the TSR Portion is allocated to, and may be earned with respect to performance for, one of four individual, independent measurement periods (each a "<u>Measurement Period</u>") commencing on January 1, 2026 and ending on each of June 30, 2027, December 31, 2027, June 30, 2028 and December 31, 2028:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **<u>Measurement Period Ending:</u>** | **<u>% of TSR Portion of PSUs Allocated</u>** |
| June 30, 2027 (first 18 months) | 20% |
| December 31, 2027 (first 24 months) | 20% |
| June 30, 2028 (first 30 months) | 30% |
| December 31, 2028 (full 36 months) | 30% |

---

The number of PSUs comprising the TSR Portion that become earned and vested under this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the schedule below based on the Company's TSR during each Measurement Period within the Performance Period (determined as set forth on <u>Appendix A</u> hereto), and calculated in accordance with the methodology set forth on <u>Appendix A</u> hereto, with the payout percentage applied to the portion of the TSR Portion allocated to each Measurement Period.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Percentile Performance<br><u>In each Measurement Period</u> | Payout (percentage of TSR Portion)<br><u>allocated to Measurement Period</u> |
| Threshold: 30<sup>th</sup>  | 50% |
| Target: 50<sup>th</sup>  | 100% |
| Maximum: 80<sup>th</sup> or more | 200% |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The remaining fifty percent (50%) of the PSUs (the "<u>EBITDA Margin Portion</u>") shall be eligible to become earned and vested in equal one-third (1/3) increments annually over the Performance Period based on the Company's year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA Margin (as defined on Appendix B) for each fiscal year of the Performance Period, as compared to the Company's performance for the immediately preceding fiscal year. The Company has established Threshold, Target and Maximum levels of achievement for the EBITDA Margin Portion of the PSU

------

award, as set forth below, and the EBITDA Margin Portion shall become earned and vested in accordance with the following:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| ***Tranche*** | ***Weighting***  | Threshold<br>Year-Over-Year Growth | Target<br>Year-Over-Year Growth | Maximum<br>Year-Over-Year Growth |
| ***2026*** | ***1/3*** | ***__ basis points*** | ***__ basis points*** | ***__ basis points*** |
| ***2027*** | ***1/3*** | ***__ basis points*** | ***__ basis points*** | ***__ basis points*** |
| ***2028*** | ***1/3*** | ***__ basis points*** | ***__ basis points*** | ***__ basis points*** |

---

<u>provided that</u>, the achievement of Threshold, Target or Maximum adjusted EBITDA Margin growth will be measured against (i) for 2026, actual adjusted EBITDA Margin for 2025, and (ii) for each of 2027 and 2028, the lesser of (x) actual adjusted EBITDA Margin for the immediately preceding fiscal year or (y) the level of adjusted EBITDA Margin that would have earned the Maximum payout for the immediately preceding fiscal year.

***For example***, if actual adjusted EBITDA Margin for 2025 were __% and actual adjusted EBITDA Margin for 2026 were __%, then for purposes of determining year-over-year EBITDA Margin growth for 2027, actual EBITDA Margin for 2027 would be compared to __% (actual 2026 adjusted EBITDA Margin). However, if actual adjusted EBITDA Margin for 2025 were __% and actual adjusted EBITDA Margin for 2026 were __%, then for purposes of determining year-over-year EBITDA Margin growth for 2027, actual EBITDA Margin for 2027 would be compared to __% (the level of 2026 adjusted EBITDA Margin performance earning the Maximum payout for 2026).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If achievement with respect to either TSR, on the one hand, or adjusted EBITDA Margin growth, on the other hand, occurs at a level between the Threshold and Target levels of achievement, or between the Target and Maximum levels of achievement, then the percentage of the payout that becomes earned and vested with respect to that Portion shall be interpolated between the outcomes set forth in the applicable table above on a straight-line basis. In any case, no achievement or payout is earned for TSR performance or adjusted EBITDA Margin growth performance below Threshold for any given measurement period. Each of the TSR and adjusted EBITDA Margin growth metrics are independent of the other, such that a portion of the payout may be accrued for each metric, without regard to the performance of the other metric.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either (i) the TSR for the three-year Performance Period ending December 31, 2028 is negative, or (ii) adjusted EBITDA Margin is lower for 2028 than for 2025, then in each case, total payout attributable to the TSR Portion or the EBITDA Margin Portion, as the case may be, for the Performance Period may not exceed 100% of the target PSUs attributed to that Portion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As soon as administratively practicable following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the TSR achieved by the Company for each individual independent Measurement Period and during the Performance Period and the adjusted EBITDA Margin growth achieved for each fiscal year of the Performance Period, and the resulting extent to which the PSUs

------

have been earned during the Performance Period, calculated as the sum of (i) all PSUs comprising the TSR Portion allocated to and earned with respect to each Measurement Period, and (ii) the PSUs comprising the EBITDA Margin Portion allocated to and earned with respect to each year of the Performance Period, with such total reduced by the limit on the total payout if TSR and/or adjusted EBITDA Margin growth was negative for the Performance Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.<u>Termination of Service Prior to the End of the Performance Period</u>**. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, if, prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Participant experiences a Termination of Service, whether initiated by either party and for any reason, all rights of the Participant to the PSUs shall terminate immediately and be forfeited in their entirety without compensation to the Participant, without regard to performance during any Measurement Period or year, and the forfeited PSUs shall be canceled without further action required by the Company or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Termination of Service Due to Death or Disability Prior to a Change in Control</u>. If, during the Performance Period and prior to a Change in Control, the Participant experiences a Termination of Service due to the Participant's death or Disability (as defined in <u>Appendix B</u>), then the PSUs shall be deemed to have been earned by the Participant in the target amount set forth in Section 1 hereof, all rights of the Participant with respect to such target amount of PSUs shall become immediately vested as of the date of such Termination of Service, and the Shares with respect thereto shall be delivered as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) following the date of such Termination of Service, provided that, prior to the delivery date, the Participant does not breach any of the restrictive covenants set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant experiences a Termination of Service due to Disability (other than during the two (2)-year period following a Section 409A CIC) and the Participant is (or during the Performance Period would be) Retirement eligible (without regard to any consent requirement), such Shares shall be delivered on the Scheduled Settlement Date (as defined in Section 5), provided that, prior to the delivery date, the Participant does not breach any of the restrictive covenants set forth herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Termination of Service Due to Retirement or Attainment of Specified Age and Years of Service Prior to a Change in Control</u>. If, during the Performance Period and prior to a Change in Control, the Participant experiences a Termination of Service due to the Participant's Retirement (as defined in <u>Appendix B</u>), then if the effective date of such Retirement is (i) prior to the nine month anniversary of the Grant Date, all rights of the Participant to the PSUs shall terminate immediately and be forfeited in their entirety, without compensation to the Participant, and the forfeited PSUs shall be canceled without further action required by the Company or otherwise, or (ii) on or following the nine month anniversary of the Grant Date, then the continued service requirement shall lapse and the number of vested shares shall equal the number of Shares underlying the PSUs that would be earned based on the level of achievement of the TSR and adjusted EBITDA Margin as determined by the Committee, with the resulting number of vested Shares to be delivered on the Scheduled Settlement Date, provided that, prior to the delivery date, the Participant does not breach any of the restrictive covenants set forth herein. If, during the Performance Period and prior to a Change in Control, the Participant experiences a Termination of Service at or after attainment of age 55 with five years of credited employment with the Company after providing no less than six months advance written notice to the Company (unless and to the extent such notice is waived by the Company), and does not otherwise qualify for Retirement, and such Termination of Service is (i)

------

prior to the nine month anniversary of the Grant Date, all rights of the Participant to the PSUs shall terminate immediately and be forfeited in their entirety, without compensation to the Participant, and the forfeited PSUs shall be canceled without further action required by the Company or otherwise, or (ii) on or following the nine month anniversary of the Grant Date, then the continued service requirement shall lapse and the number of vested Shares shall equal the product of (A) the number of Shares underlying the PSUs that would be earned based on the level of achievement of the TSR and adjusted EBITDA Margin, as applicable, as determined by the Committee and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of months the Participant was employed by the Company during the Performance Period (including any month during which the Participant remained employed by the Company for at least fifteen (15) days) and the denominator of which is equal to the total number of months in the Performance Period (the "<u>Proration Fraction</u>"), with the resulting number of vested Shares to be delivered on the Scheduled Settlement Date, provided that, prior to the delivery date, the Participant does not breach any of the restrictive covenants set forth herein and provided further that the balance of the PSUs shall be canceled without further action required by the Company or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Certain Terminations Following a Change in Control</u>. If, during the Performance Period, a Participant experiences a Termination of Service (i) at any time following a Change in Control due to the Participant's death, Disability or Retirement, or (ii) during the two (2)-year period following a Change in Control due to a termination by the Company without Cause or a resignation by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined in <u>Appendix B</u> hereto), any Replacement Award (as defined in Section 7 below) granted in respect of the PSUs (for the avoidance of doubt, with the number of Shares subject to the PSUs to equal the number of Shares determined to be earned in accordance with Section 7(a) below) shall vest in full immediately upon the date of Termination of Service, and the Shares with respect thereto shall be delivered as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) following the date of such Termination of Service, subject to any required delay under Section 12 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (A) such Change in Control is not a Section 409A CIC or the Termination of Service due to Disability or Retirement occurs after the second anniversary of such Change in Control and (B) the Participant is (or during the Performance Period would be) Retirement eligible (without regard to any consent requirement) or the PSUs otherwise constitute nonqualified deferred compensation, subject to Section 409A of the Code the acceleration of which would result in tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, such Shares shall be delivered at the earliest practicable date permitted by Section 409A that does not result in the imposition of tax penalties (and in no event later than thirty (30) days following December 31, 2028).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.<u>Settlement of the Earned and Vested PSUs.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>General</u>. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Committee's determinations pursuant to Section 3(b) above (and in no event later than the first to occur of the date that is thirty (30) days following the date of such determination and March 15, 2029) (such settlement date, the "<u>Scheduled Settlement Date</u>") or at the time specified in Section 4 and subject to Section 12 below, the earned portion of the PSUs shall be settled by the issuance of Shares. If a Replacement Award is provided in connection with a Change in Control and is not previously settled or forfeited as provided herein, the Replacement Award shall be settled as soon as practical (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) following December 31, 2028. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Replacement Award is not provided in connection with a Change in Control the earned PSUs (as

------

determined in accordance with Section 7(a)) shall be settled as soon as practicable (and in no event later than ten (10) days) following the Change in Control; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Shares in respect of PSUs that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A shall be delivered at the earliest practicable date permitted by Section 409A that does not result in the imposition of tax penalties under Section 409A (taking into account the immediately following sentence and the payment timing rules of Section 4(c) that would apply to a Replacement Award). Nothing herein shall preclude the Company from settling the PSUs upon a Section 409A CIC, if they are not replaced by a Replacement Award, to the extent such settlement is effectuated in accordance with Treas. Regs. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Method of Delivery</u>. In settlement of the vested PSUs, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to the Participant, Shares in the form of a certificate or proof of ownership in an aggregate amount equal to the number of Shares deliverable to the Participant in respect of the PSUs vesting on such date, unless the Company is using book-entry, in which case, the Company shall credit such Shares to the Participant's account. In any case, such Shares shall not be subject to transfer restrictions and shall not bear any legend or electronic notation limiting transferability. Upon payment or crediting of such Shares, the vested PSUs shall be deemed fully settled and the Participant shall have no further rights in respect of such PSUs. No fractional Share shall be issued and any fractional vested PSU shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, other than following a Change in Control, in which case the rules applicable to fractional Shares under the transaction agreement shall govern.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.<u>Rights as a Stockholder</u>**. Until the issuance of the Shares subject to the PSUs (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a holder of Common Stock shall exist with respect to the PSUs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.<u>Change in Control.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Determination of the Performance Goals</u>. If a Change in Control occurs prior to the completion of the Performance Period, the Performance Goals shall be deemed achieved, as of immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control, at the greater of (i) target level and (ii) the level of achievement of the Performance Goals, as determined by the Committee prior to the Change in Control, based on performance through the latest date preceding the Change in Control as to which performance can, as a practical matter, be determined (but not later than the end of the Performance Period), and from and after the date of the Change in Control, the number of Shares subject to the PSUs shall be fixed based on such determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Vesting</u>. If a Change in Control occurs prior to the completion of the Performance Period, the PSUs (if and to the extent not previously forfeited) that are earned at the level set forth in Section 7(a) above shall vest effective as of such Change in Control, except to the extent that another award meeting the requirements of Section 11(c) of the Incentive Plan (as determined by the Committee as of immediately prior to the Change in Control, in its sole discretion) is provided to the Participant to replace the earned PSUs (any award meeting the requirements of Section 11(c) of the Incentive Plan, a "Replacement Award"). From and after the Change in Control, any such Replacement Award shall vest solely based on the Participant's service through December 31, 2028, subject to accelerated vesting on certain terminations of employment as set forth in Section 4 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(b), if the

------

Participant has incurred a Termination of Service after attainment of age 55 with five years of credited employment with the Company, and does not otherwise qualify for Retirement prior to the Change in Control, the Proration Fraction shall apply to the PSUs that are determined to be earned under Section 7(a) above. If Replacement Awards are provided, from and after the Change in Control, references herein to the PSUs shall refer to the Replacement Awards, and references to the Company include any surviving successor entity following the Change in Control, in each case unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.<u>Withholding.</u>** No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant or subject to any applicable tax for federal income tax purposes with respect to any PSUs, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, all federal, state and local income and employment taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld with respect to such amount. The Participant may direct the Company to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Participant, including the delivery of Shares that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The Company's obligation to deliver the Shares underlying the PSUs (or to make a book-entry or other electronic notation indicating ownership of the Shares) is subject to the condition precedent that the Participant either pay or provide for the amount of any such withholding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.<u>No Right to Continued Employment; Effect on Benefit Plans</u>.** This Agreement shall not confer upon the Participant any right with respect to continuance of his or her employment or other relationship, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company, or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, to terminate his or her employment or other relationship, at any time. Income realized by the Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall not be included in the Participant's earnings for the purpose of any benefit plan in which the Participant may be enrolled or for which the Participant may become eligible, unless otherwise specifically provided for in such plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.<u>Participant Representations</u>**. In connection with the grant of the PSUs, the Participant represents the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Participant has, if and to the extent deemed necessary or advisable in the judgment of the Participant, reviewed with the Participant's own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Participant is relying solely on such advisors, if any, and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that the Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Participant's own tax liability that may arise as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Participant has received, read and understood this Agreement and the Incentive Plan and agrees to abide by and be bound by their respective terms and conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.<u>Restrictive Covenants.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Non-Competition</u>. While employed by the Company and for a period of one (1) year after the Participant's Termination of Service with the Company for any reason, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, serve as an owner, principal, partner, employee,

------

consultant, officer, director or agent of an entity, including a sole proprietorship, that engages or is planning to engage in any business in which the Company is engaged in any market in which the Company is engaged at the time of the Participant's Termination of Service, including, without limitation, the production and delivery of materials and products for the aerospace and defense, oil and gas/chemical and hydrocarbon processing industries, and electrical energy, medical, automotive, food equipment and appliance, and construction and mining markets (each such entity in such industry or market is referred to as a "Competing Business"). The Participant shall not be deemed to be in violation of this covenant solely by virtue of his or her ownership of not more than two percent (2%) of any company the stock of which is traded on a recognized securities exchange. References in this Section 11 to the "Company" shall include its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

The Company intends to restrict your activities following your employment with the Company only to the extent that your affiliation with a Competing Business may be detrimental to the Company. To avoid unduly restricting your future employment, you should consult with the Company's General Counsel (or officer of the Company fulfilling the same functions) if you intend to provide services to any potentially Competing Business during the one-year restricted period. The Company will consider the individual circumstances of such requests and will not unreasonably withhold consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Non-Solicitation of Customers</u>. While employed by the Company and for a period of one (1) year after the Participant's Termination of Service with the Company for any reason, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, on behalf of a Competing Business solicit or attempt to divert the business or patronage of any business entity that has purchased materials or products from the Company within two (2) years prior to such Termination of Service and shall not assist any person or business entity in planning or making such a solicitation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Non-Solicitation of Employees</u>. While employed by the Company and for a period of one (1) year after the Participant's Termination of Service with the Company for any reason, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or assist another person or entity to solicit any person who consults with the Company or is employed by the Company to cease consulting with the Company or to leave the employ of the Company or to accept a consulting or other business relationship or employment with another person or entity, whether or not a Competing Business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Non-Disparagement</u>. The Participant shall not disparage the Company or its business, agents, servants, employees, officers or directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Confidentiality</u>. The Participant shall not disclose, divulge or use any non-public information of the Company, including, but not limited to, manufacturing processes, customer lists, marketing plans or procedure proprietary information and trade secrets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Notice of Rights under Applicable Law</u>. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall impair the Participant's rights under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable federal law or regulation or, for the avoidance of doubt, limit the Participant's right to receive an award for information provided to any government authority under such law or regulation. The Company hereby informs the Participant that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, an individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade

------

secret that (i) is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. Further, an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the employer's trade secrets to the attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Consideration and Remedies</u>. The Participant recognizes and acknowledges that the opportunity to earn compensation or receive Shares under this Agreement is adequate consideration for the covenants set forth in this Section 11. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company has no adequate remedy at law should the Participant violate or threaten to or attempt to violate any one or more of the covenants in this Section 11, and the Participant agrees that the Company is entitled to an injunction or other equitable relief restraining the Participant from violating or threatening to or attempting to violate any one or more of the covenants set forth in this Section 11 and, prior to a Change in Control, any PSUs that have not yet vested or Shares that have not yet been delivered to the Participant shall be forfeited as a result of any such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.<u>Section 409A</u>.** This Agreement and the PSUs granted hereunder are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or an exemption or exclusion therefrom, and, with respect to PSUs that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Incentive Plan and this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in all respects in accordance with Section 409A of the Code (including with respect to the application of any defined terms, such as Change in Control, to PSUs that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation, which defined terms shall be interpreted to have the meaning required by Section 409A of the Code to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code). Each payment (including the delivery of Shares) under the PSUs that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. In no event may the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Participant is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company as in effect on the date of Termination of Service), amounts that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code that would otherwise be payable by reason of the Participant's Separation from Service during the six (6)-month period immediately following such Separation from Service shall instead be paid or provided on the earlier to occur of (i) the first

------

business day following the date that is six (6) months following the Participant's Separation from Service and (ii) the date of the Participant's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.<u>Miscellaneous.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Governing Law</u>. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without regard to such State's principles of conflicts of laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Successors and Assigns</u>. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto. Neither this Agreement, nor any rights hereunder, shall be assignable or otherwise subject to hypothecation without the consent of all parties hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Entire Agreement; Amendment</u>. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms of any employment or change of control agreement to which the Participant is a party, except with respect to the definitions of "Cause" and "Disability" as may be set forth in any such Individual Agreement that becomes applicable on a Change in Control, which definitions shall apply to the PSUs from and after such Change in Control. This Agreement may not be amended or modified without the written consent of the Company and the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Counterparts</u>.

**<u>Calculation Methodology</u>**

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

<u>Total Shareholder Return</u> is calculated based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the end of each individual independent Measurement Period and the end of the Performance Period, plus dividends paid as if they had been reinvested on each ex-dividend date during each Measurement Period and the Performance Period, as applicable, divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the beginning of the Performance Period. For purposes of determining the Company's Total Shareholder Return:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "<u>Fair Market Value</u>" means, as of any given date, the closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the "<u>NYSE</u>") or, if the Common Stock is not then traded on the NYSE, on such other national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is admitted to trade, or, if none, on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System if the Common Stock is admitted for quotation thereon; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if there were no sales reported as of such date, Fair Market Value shall be computed as of the last date preceding such date on which a sale was reported, <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that if any such exchange or quotation system is closed on any day on which Fair Market Value is to be determined, Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the first date immediately preceding such date on which such exchange or quotation system was open for trading.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For purposes of determining the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the beginning and end of each Measurement Period and the Performance Period, the value shall be determined as the average Fair Market Value for the calendar quarter immediately preceding, respectively, the first day of the Performance Period, and last day of each Measurement Period and the Performance Period.

<u>Calculation of Relative Total Shareholder Return</u>: The extent to which the number of PSUs which become vested under this Agreement shall be determined by measuring the Company's Total Shareholder Return as a percentage ranking in comparison with the Peer Group Total Shareholder Return, as calculated using the above-stated principles, with the Company included in the group. The determination of whether the Company's Total Shareholder Return is negative for the three-year Performance Period ending December 31, 2028 shall be determined using the above-stated principles. Adjustments and actions with respect to the Company and any peer group company shall be in accord with the provisions of <u>Appendix C</u>.

294839.1 ------

**<u>Appendix B</u>**

"<u>Adjusted EBITDA Margin</u>" means the quotient of the Company's net income, excluding net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and special items for such fiscal year, as reported by the Company in its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "<u>Form 10-K</u>") for such fiscal year (or, if not included in the Form 10-K, in the Company's relevant earnings release or other disclosure filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission), divided by the Company's total Sales for such year as reflected in its audited annual consolidated financial statements. "Special items" include significant non-recurring or non-operational charges or credits, restructuring and other charges or credits, gains or losses from the sale of accounts receivable, strike related costs, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, debt extinguishment charges, pension remeasurement gains and losses, other postretirement/pension curtailment and settlement gains and losses, and gains or losses on sales of businesses.

"<u>Disability</u>" shall mean (a) prior to a Change in Control, any condition as a result of which the Participant has been determined eligible to receive long-term disability benefits under the Company's long term disability plan and (b) following a Change in Control, as defined in any change in control, salary continuation or similar agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

"<u>Good Reason</u>" means, without the Participant's express written consent, the occurrence of any one or more of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a material diminution of the Participant's position, authorities, duties, responsibilities or status (including offices, titles, or reporting relationships) as an employee of the Company (or those of the supervisor to whom the Participant is required to report, including a requirement that the Participant report to a corporate officer or other employee rather than directly to the Board), in each case, from those in effect as of immediately prior to the Change in Control, or (ii) the assignment to the Participant of duties or responsibilities inconsistent with his or her position as of immediately prior to the Change in Control, other than an insubstantial and inadvertent act that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Participant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Company's requiring the Participant to be based at a location in excess of thirty-five (35) miles from the location of the Participant's principal job location or office immediately prior to the Change in Control, except for required travel on the Company's business to an extent consistent in all material respects with the Participant's business travel obligations as of immediately prior to the Change in Control;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a reduction in the Participant's annual base salary, (ii) a material reduction in the Participant's target annual incentive opportunity or (iii) a material reduction in the other compensation and benefits provided or made available to the Participant from the Company, in each case, from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or, if greater, following the Change in Control;

294839.1 ------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a material diminution in the budget over which the Participant retains authority relative to such budget immediately prior to the Change in Control; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any purported attempt by the Company to terminate the Participant's employment other than for Cause or by reason of Disability occurring after an event constituting Good Reason.

The Participant's mental or physical incapacity following the occurrence of an event described above shall not affect his or her ability to terminate employment for Good Reason, and the Participant's death following delivery of a notice of termination for Good Reason shall not affect the Participant's estate's entitlement to benefits provided upon a termination of employment for Good Reason.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To invoke a termination for Good Reason, the Participant must provide written notice to the Company of the existence of one or more of the conditions described above within ninety (90) days following the Participant's knowledge of the initial existence of such condition or conditions, specifying in reasonable detail the conditions constituting Good Reason, and the Company or its affiliate will have thirty (30) days following receipt of such written notice (the "Cure Period") during which it may remedy the condition. If the Company or the affiliate fails to remedy the condition constituting Good Reason during the applicable Cure Period, the Participant's Termination of Service must occur, if at all, within thirty (30) days following such Cure Period.

"<u>Retirement</u>" shall mean, (a) prior to a Change in Control, a termination of employment with the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company, with the consent of the Company after providing no less than six months advance written notice to the Company (unless and to the extent such notice is waived by the Company) (i) at or after attainment of age 60 but prior to age 65 with ten years of credited employment with the Company, or (ii) at or after attainment of age 65, in each case upon no less than six months advance written notice by the Participant to the Company, unless and to the extent otherwise waived by the Company, and (b) following a Change in Control, at or after (i) attaining age 55 and (ii) completing five (5) years of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, if, prior to the applicable Vesting Date for one or more installments of the RSUs, the Participant experiences a Termination of Service, whether initiated by either party and for any reason, all rights of the Participant to the RSUs that have not vested prior to the date of Termination of Service shall terminate immediately and be forfeited in their entirety without compensation to the Participant, and the forfeited RSUs shall be canceled without further action required by the Company or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Termination of Service Due to Death or Disability</u>. If the Participant experiences a Termination of Service due to the Participant's death or Disability (as defined on <u>Appendix A</u> hereto), then all rights of the Participant to the RSUs that have not vested on or prior to the date of Termination of Service shall become immediately vested as of the date of such Termination of Service, and the Shares with respect thereto shall be delivered as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) following the date of such Termination of Service, provided that, in the case of a Participant's Termination of Service due to Disability, subject to any required delay under Section 11 and provided that the Participant does not breach any of the restrictive covenants set forth herein.

If, prior to a Change in Control or following the second anniversary thereof, the Participant experiences a Termination of Service due to the Participant's Retirement (as defined in <u>Appendix A</u>), then if the effective date of such Retirement is (i) prior to the nine month anniversary of the Grant Date, all rights of the Participant to the RSUs shall terminate immediately and be forfeited in their entirety, without compensation to the Participant, and the forfeited RSUs shall be canceled without further action required by the Company or otherwise, or (ii) on or following the nine month anniversary of the Grant Date, the RSUs shall continue to vest as set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, provided that the Participant does not breach any of the restrictive covenants set forth herein. If, prior to a Change in Control or following the second anniversary thereof, the Participant experiences a Termination of Service at or after attainment of age 55 with five years of credited employment with the Company after providing no less than six months advance written notice to the Company (unless and to the extent such notice is waived by the Company), and does not otherwise qualify for Retirement, and such Termination of Service is (i) prior to the nine month anniversary of the Grant Date, all rights of the Participant to the RSUs shall terminate immediately and be forfeited in their entirety, without compensation to the Participant, and the forfeited RSUs shall be canceled without further action required by the Company or otherwise, or (ii) on or following the nine month anniversary of the Grant Date, a pro rata portion of the RSUs scheduled to vest following the date of such Termination of Service, determined by multiplying the total number of such unvested RSUs by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of months the Participant was employed by the Company following the Vesting Date immediately preceding the date of such Termination of Service (including any month during which the Participant remained employed by the Company for at least fifteen (15) days) and the denominator of which is equal to the number of months between the most recent Vesting Date immediately preceding the date of such Termination of Service and the third anniversary of the Grant Date, shall become immediately vested as of the date of such

------

Termination of Service, and the Shares with respect thereto shall be delivered as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) following the date of such Termination of Service, subject to any required delay under Section 11 and provided that the Participant does not breach any of the restrictive covenants set forth herein and except as otherwise provided by Section 11 below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Certain Terminations During the Two-Year Period Following a Change in Control</u>. If a Participant incurs a Termination of Service (i) at any time after a Change in Control, due to the Participant's Retirement (as defined in <u>Appendix A hereto</u>), or (ii) at any time during the two year period following a Change in Control, either due to (A) a termination by the Company without Cause or (B) a resignation by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined in <u>Appendix A hereto</u>), any Replacement Award (as defined in Section 6 below) granted in respect of the RSUs shall vest in full immediately upon the date of Termination of Service, and the Shares with respect thereto shall be delivered as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) following the date of such Termination of Service, except as otherwise provided by Section 11 below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.<u>Settlement of the Vested RSUs</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>General</u>. Vested RSUs shall be settled by the issuance of Shares as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) following the originally scheduled Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided in Section 3 hereof and subject to Section 11. Nothing herein shall preclude the Company from settling the RSUs upon a Section 409A CIC, if they are not replaced by a Replacement Award, to the extent such settlement is effectuated in accordance with Treas. Regs. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Method of Delivery</u>. In settlement of the vested RSUs, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to the Participant, Shares in the form of a certificate or proof of ownership in an aggregate amount equal to the number of Shares deliverable to the Participant in respect of the RSUs vesting on such date, unless the Company is using book- entry, in which case, the Company shall credit such Shares to the Participant's account. In any case, such Shares shall not be subject to transfer restrictions and shall not bear any legend or electronic notation limiting transferability. Upon payment or crediting of such Shares, the vested RSUs shall be deemed fully settled and the Participant shall have no further rights in respect of such RSUs. No fractional Share shall be issued and any fractional vested RSU shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, other than following a Change in Control, in which case the rules applicable to fractional Shares under the transaction agreement shall govern.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.<u>Rights as a Stockholder</u>**. Until the issuance of the Shares subject to the RSUs (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a holder of Common Stock shall exist with respect to the RSUs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.<u>Change in Control</u>**. If a Change in Control occurs prior to any Vesting Date, the RSUs (if and to the extent not previously forfeited) shall vest effective as of such Change in Control, except to the extent that another award meeting the requirements of Section 11(c) of the Incentive

------

Plan (as determined by the Committee as of immediately prior to the Change in Control, in its sole discretion) is provided to the Participant to replace the RSUs (any award meeting the requirements of Section 11(c) of the Incentive Plan, a "<u>Replacement Award</u>"). If Replacement Awards are provided, from and after the Change in Control, references herein to the RSUs shall refer to the Replacement Awards, and references to the Company include any surviving successor entity following the Change in Control, in each case unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.<u>Withholding</u>**. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant or subject to any applicable tax for federal income tax purposes with respect to any RSUs, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, all federal, state and local income and employment taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld with respect to such amount. The Participant may direct the Company to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Participant, including the delivery of Shares that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The Company's obligation to deliver the Shares underlying the RSUs (or to make a book-entry or other electronic notation indicating ownership of the Shares) is subject to the condition precedent that the Participant either pay or provide for the amount of any such withholding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.<u>No Right to Continued Employment; Effect on Benefit Plans</u>**. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Participant any right with respect to continuance of his or her employment or other relationship, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company, or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, to terminate his or her employment or other relationship, at any time. Income realized by the Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall not be included in the Participant's earnings for the purpose of any benefit plan in which the Participant may be enrolled or for which the Participant may become eligible, unless otherwise specifically provided for in such plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.<u>Participant Representations</u>**. In connection with the grant of the RSUs, the Participant represents the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Participant has, if and to the extent deemed necessary or advisable in the judgment of the Participant, reviewed with the Participant's own tax advisors, the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Participant is relying solely on such advisors, if any, and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that the Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Participant's own tax liability that may arise as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Participant has received, read and understood this Agreement and the Incentive Plan and agrees to abide by and be bound by their respective terms and conditions.

The Participant shall not be deemed to be in violation of this covenant solely by virtue of his or her ownership of not more than 2% of any company the stock of which is traded on a recognized securities exchange. References in this Section 10 to the "Company" shall include its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

The Company intends to restrict your activities following your employment with the Company only to the extent that your affiliation with a Competing Business may be detrimental to the Company. To avoid unduly restricting your future employment, you should consult with the Company's General Counsel (or officer of the Company fulfilling the same functions) if you intend to provide services to any potentially Competing Business during the one-year restricted period. The Company will consider the individual circumstances of such requests and will not unreasonably withhold consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Non-Solicitation of Customers</u>. While employed by the Company and for a period of one (1) year after the Participant's Termination of Service with the Company for any reason, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, on behalf of a Competing Business solicit or attempt to divert the business or patronage of any business entity that has purchased materials or products from the Company within two (2) years prior to such Termination of Service and shall not assist any person or business entity in planning or making such a solicitation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Non-Disparagement</u>. The Participant shall not disparage the Company or its business, agents, servants, employees, officers or directors.

The Participant shall not disclose, divulge or use any non-public information of the Company, including, but not limited to, manufacturing processes, customer lists, marketing plans or procedure proprietary information and trade secrets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Notice of Rights under Applicable Law</u>. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall impair the Participant's rights under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable federal law or regulation or, for the avoidance of doubt, limit the Participant's right to receive an award for information provided to any government

------

authority under such law or regulation. The Company hereby informs the Participant that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, an individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (i) is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. Further, an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the employer's trade secrets to the attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Consideration and Remedies</u>. The Participant recognizes and acknowledges that the opportunity to earn compensation or receive Shares under this Agreement is adequate consideration for the covenants set forth in this Section 10. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company has no adequate remedy at law should the Participant violate or threaten to or attempt to violate any one or more of the covenants in this Section 10, and the Participant agrees that, in addition to the forfeiture of any RSUs that have not yet vested or Shares that have not yet been delivered to the Participant, the Company is entitled to an injunction or other equitable relief restraining the Participant from violating or threatening to or attempting to violate any one or more of the covenants set forth in this Section 10.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.<u>Section 409A</u>**.

Each payment (including the delivery of Shares) under the RSUs that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. In no event may the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Participant is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company as in effect on the date of Termination of Service), amounts that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code that would otherwise be payable by reason of the Participant's Separation from Service during the six (6)-month period immediately following such Separation

**ATI Inc.<br>Insider Trading Policies and Procedures**

**(as of July 2025)**

**1.<u>General Policy: No Transactions While in Possession of Material Non-public Information</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)**No director, officer or employee of the Company may purchase or sell any Company security while in possession of material non-public information about the Company. The terms "material" and "non-public" are defined in Part I, Section 3(a) and (b) below. This prohibition extends to all transactions in ATI securities, including but not limited to the purchase and sale of ATI stock within the Company's 401(k) Plan and the gifting or other acquisition or disposition of ATI securities, except under certain circumstances, as described in Part I, Section 4 below. **If you are unsure whether your plans with respect to your ATI securities would be affected by these Policies and Procedures, you should consult with ATI's Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer or its Vice President, Corporate Secretary (or other member of the Law Department responsible for securities law matters).**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)**No director, officer or employee of the Company who knows of any material non-public information about the Company may communicate that information to any other person, including family and friends.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)**In addition, no director, officer or employee may purchase or sell any security of any other company while in possession of material non-public information about that other company that was obtained in the course of his or her involvement with ATI or any of its subsidiaries. No director, officer or employee of the Company who knows of any such material non-public information may communicate that information to any other person, including family and friends.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)**Preclearance Persons must "pre-clear" all trading in securities of the Company in accordance with the procedures set forth in Part II, Section 3 below.

**2.<u>Definitions</u>**

**<u>Materiality.</u>** Information is generally regarded as "material" if it has market significance: that is, if its public dissemination is likely to affect the market price of securities, or if it otherwise is information that a reasonable investor would want to know before making an investment decision. Material information is not limited to historical facts but may also include projections and forecasts. With respect to a future event, such as a potential merger, acquisition or introduction of a new product or technology, the point at which negotiations or product development are determined to be material is determined by balancing the probability that the event will occur against the magnitude of the effect the event would have on a company's operations or stock price should it occur. Thus, information concerning an event that would have a large effect on stock price, such as a merger, may be material even if the possibility that the event will occur is relatively small.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ultimately, whether particular information is material involves the exercise of judgment, is therefore subjective, and generally is judged with the benefit of hindsight. Accordingly, when in doubt about whether particular non-public information is material, presume it is material. **If** 

------

**you are unsure whether information that you possess is material, you should consult with ATI's General Counsel or Corporate Secretary (or other member of the Law Department responsible for securities law matters) before trading in or recommending securities to which that information relates.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)<u>Non-public Information</u>.** Insider trading prohibitions come into play only when you possess information that is <u>both</u> material and "non-public." The fact that information has been disclosed to a few members of the public – or even posted on the Company's website – does <u>not</u> make it public for insider trading purposes. To be "public" the information must have been disseminated in a manner designed to reach investors generally, such as in a press release, in a public filing made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**") (such as a Report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K), through a news wire service or daily newspaper of wide circulation, and investors must be given the opportunity to absorb the information. Even after public disclosure of information about the Company, you should wait until after the close of business on the first full trading day after the information was publicly disclosed before you can treat the information as public.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-public information may include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)information that is only internally available;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)information that has been made available to a select group of advisors, customers, suppliers, regulators/government officials or others;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)undisclosed facts that are the subject of rumors, even if the rumors are widely circulated; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)information that has been entrusted to the Company on a confidential basis until a public announcement of the information has been made and enough time has elapsed for the market to respond to a public announcement of the information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**As with questions of materiality, if you are not sure whether information is considered public, you should either consult with ATI's General Counsel or Corporate Secretary (or other member of the Law Department responsible for securities law matters) or assume that the information is "non-public" and treat it as confidential.**

**3.<u>Transactions in ATI Stock within the Company's 401(k) Plan</u>.** Transactions in ATI stock within the Company's 401(k) Plan are subject to the provisions of these Policies and Procedures as a general rule. However, routine/recurring purchases and sales of ATI stock within the 401(k), including in connection with the automatic rebalancing of your portfolio, are permitted, **if** those transactions are executed by the plan administrator pursuant to investment allocation decisions and instructions that you provided to the administrator at a time when you were not in possession of material, non-public information about the Company.

If you are a Preclearance Person, any changes to your investment allocations and instructions that would impact your ownership of ATI stock within the 401(k) Plan should be precleared as provided in Part II, Section 3 below.

**4.<u>Other Prohibited Transactions</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)**Directors and executive officers of the Company are prohibited from trading in the Company's equity securities during a blackout period imposed under an "individual account" retirement or pension plan of the Company, during which at least 50% of the plan participants

------

are unable to purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or transfer an interest in equity securities of the Company, due to a temporary suspension of trading by the Company or the plan fiduciary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)**Directors, officers and employees of the Company and their respective spouses, other members of their households, minor children and entities over which they exercise control, are prohibited from engaging in the following transactions in the Company's securities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Short sales;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Options trading (buying or selling puts or calls or other derivative securities linked to the Company's securities);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)Trading on margin (holding Company securities in a margin account or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Hedging (entering into hedging or monetization transactions or similar arrangements with respect to Company securities).

**5.<u>Violations of Insider Trading Laws</u>**

Penalties for trading while in possession of or communicating material non-public information can be severe, both for individuals involved in such unlawful conduct and their employers and supervisors, and may include jail terms, criminal fines, civil penalties and civil enforcement injunctions. Given the severity of the potential penalties, compliance with this Policy is absolutely mandatory.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)<u>Legal Penalties</u>.** A person who violates insider trading laws by engaging in transactions in a company's securities when he or she has material non-public information can be sentenced to a substantial jail term and required to pay a penalty of several times the amount of profits gained or losses avoided.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, a person who tips others may also be liable for transactions by the tippees to whom he or she has disclosed material non-public information. Tippers can be subject to the same penalties and sanctions as their tippees, and the SEC has imposed large penalties even when the tipper did not profit monetarily from the transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The SEC can also seek substantial penalties from any person who, at the time of an insider trading violation, "directly or indirectly controlled the person who committed such violation," which would apply to the Company and/or management and supervisory personnel. These control persons may be held liable for up to the greater of $1 million or three times the amount of the profits gained or losses avoided. Even for violations that result in a small or no profit, the SEC can seek a $1 million or more from a company and/or management and supervisory personnel as control persons. The Department of Justice may also pursue criminal penalties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)<u>Company-Imposed Penalties.</u>** Employees who violate this Policy may be subject to disciplinary action by the Company, up to and including dismissal for cause. Any exceptions to the Policy, if permitted, may only be granted by ATI's General Counsel or Corporate Secretary and must be provided before any activity contrary to the above requirements takes place.

**PART II**

**1.<u>Blackout Periods</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All Preclearance Persons are prohibited from trading in the Company's securities during blackout periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)<u>Quarterly Blackout Periods</u>.** Preclearance Persons are prohibited from trading in the Company's securities during the period:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>beginning</u> at the close of the market on the last trading day immediately preceding the 15th day prior to the end of each calendar quarter and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>ending</u> at the close of the market on the first full trading day following the public disclosure of the Company's financial results for the quarter. For the sake of clarity, if the Company announces such results prior to the market open on a particular trading day, then the date on which such announcement is made will constitute the first full trading day.

During these periods, Preclearance Persons generally possess or are presumed to possess material non-public information about the Company's financial results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)<u>Exception</u>.** These trading restrictions do not apply to purchases and sales of ATI stock under a pre-existing written plan, contract, instruction, or arrangement under Rule 10b5-1 (an "**Existing 10b5-1 Plan**") if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the Existing 10b5-1 Plan and any amendment thereto was reviewed and approved in advance by ATI's General Counsel or Corporate Secretary (or other member of the Law Department responsible for securities law matters);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the Existing 10b5-1 Plan and any amendment thereto was entered into in good faith by the person trading pursuant to the written plan at a time when he or she was not in possession of material non-public information about the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)the person trading pursuant to the written plan has acted at all times since its establishment, and is continuing to act, in good faith with respect to the Existing 10b5-1 Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)the Existing 10b5-1 Plan and any amendment thereto are in compliance with Rule 10b5-1;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)the Existing 10b5-1 Plan gives a third party the discretionary authority to execute such purchases and sales, outside the control of the person trading pursuant to the written plan, so long as such third party does not possess any material non-public information about the Company; or explicitly specifies the security or securities to be purchased or sold, the number of shares, the prices and/or dates of transactions, or other formula(s) describing such transactions.

Additionally, these restrictions do not apply to routine/recurring purchases and sales of ATI stock within the Company's 401(k) Plan, including in connection with the automatic rebalancing of your portfolio, **if** those transactions are executed by the plan administrator pursuant to investment allocation decisions and instructions that you provided to the administrator at a time when you were not in possession of material, non-public information about the Company and that were precleared as provided in Section 3 below. Changes to your investment allocations and instructions that would impact your ownership of ATI stock within the 401(k) Plan should occur only during open trading windows (as described in Section 2 below) and must be precleared.

------

**2.<u>Trading Window</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Preclearance Persons generally are permitted to trade in, gift or otherwise acquire or dispose of the Company's securities when no blackout period is in effect, subject to the preclearance requirements of Section 3 below and provided that they do not possess material nonpublic information at the time of such trade, gift or transfer and are otherwise complying with this Policy. Generally, this means that Preclearance Persons can request preclearance to trade, gift or otherwise acquire or dispose of the Company's securities during the period:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>beginning</u> at the close of the market on the first full trading day following the public disclosure of Company's financial results and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>ending</u> at the close of the market on the last trading day immediately preceding the 15th day prior to the end of each calendar quarter.

However, even during this trading window, a Preclearance Person who is in possession of any material non-public information should not trade in, gift or otherwise acquire or dispose the Company's securities until the information has been made publicly available or is no longer material.

**3.<u>Preclearance of Securities Transactions</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)**Because Preclearance Persons are likely to obtain material non-public information on a regular basis, the Company requires all such persons to refrain from trading, gifting or otherwise acquiring or disposing of the Company's securities, even during a trading window under Part II, Section 2 above, without first preclearing all such trades, gifts or other acquisitions or dispositions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)**Subject to the exemption in subsection (f) below, no Preclearance Person may, directly or indirectly, (i) purchase or sell (or otherwise make any transfer, gift, pledge or loan of) any Company security or (ii) establish, amend or terminate any written plan, contract, instruction, or arrangement under Rule 10b5-1, in each case at any time without first obtaining prior approval from ATI's General Counsel or Corporate Secretary (or other member of the Law Department responsible for securities law matters). These procedures also apply to similar actions by such person's spouse, other persons living in such person's household and minor children and to similar actions by entities over which such person exercises control, including trusts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)**Preclearance Persons may request preclearance of an anticipated transaction in Company securities or other action requiring preclearance under this Policy by completing the attached Preclearance Request Form and returning a signed copy of the completed Form to ATI's General Counsel or Corporate Secretary (or other member of the Law Department responsible for securities law matters). The Law Department will endeavor when possible to respond to such requests within two trading days.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)**The member of the Law Department providing such preclearance shall record the date each request is received and the date and time each request is approved or disapproved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e)**Unless revoked or otherwise specified, a preclearance will normally remain valid until the earlier of the close of trading five trading days following the day on which it was granted or the closing of the applicable trading window. If the transaction does not occur or the action requiring preclearance under this Policy is not completed during such period, preclearance of the transaction or action must be re-requested.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(f)**Pre-clearance is not required for purchases and sales of securities under an Approved 10b5-1 Plan. With respect to any purchase or sale under an Approved 10b5-1 Plan, the third party effecting transactions on behalf of the Preclearance Person should be instructed to send duplicate confirmations of all such transactions to ATI's Senior Vice President, General Counsel or Vice President, Corporate Secretary (or other member of the Law Department responsible for securities law matters).

**4.<u>Exceptions</u>**

This Policy does not apply to the following transactions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)**the vesting of restricted stock or restricted stock units granted under any of the Company's equity incentive plans, or the surrender of any shares of such restricted stock or of restricted stock units to the Company in satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations, in each case in a manner permitted by the applicable restricted stock agreement; <u>provided</u>, however, that this Policy <u>does</u> apply to any market sale of such restricted stock or common stock underlying any restricted stock unit;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)**purchases of the Company's securities in the Company's 401(k) plan resulting from any employee's or officer's contribution of money to such plan pursuant to his or her payroll deduction election; <u>provided</u>, however, that this Policy <u>does</u> apply to certain elections made under such plan, including: (i) an election to increase or decrease the percentage of the periodic contribution that will be allocated to any Company stock fund; (ii) an election to make an intra-plan transfer of an existing account balance into or out of any Company stock fund; (iii) an election to borrow money against such plan account if the loan will result in a liquidation of some or all of the balance of any Company stock fund; and (iv) an election to pre-pay a plan loan if the pre-payment will result in allocation of loan proceeds to any Company stock fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)**any other purchase of the Company's securities from the Company or sale of the Company's securities to the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)**any other proposed transaction or other action expressly excepted in advance by ATI's General Counsel or Corporate Secretary; exceptions will be granted only in the sole discretion of ATI's General Counsel or Corporate Secretary, and it should be assumed that exceptions will be granted only in exigent circumstances.

**5.<u>Acknowledgment and Certification</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All Preclearance Persons are required to sign the attached acknowledgment and certification.
