Item 8.01.     Other Events.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company began operating under two revised business segments: High Performance Materials & Components (HPMC) and Advanced Alloys & Solutions (AAS). HPMC is now comprised of the Specialty Materials and Forged Products businesses, as well as our ATI Europe distribution operations. The new AAS segment combines our Specialty Alloys & Components (SAC) business, including our primary titanium operations in Richland, WA and Albany, OR, with ATI’s former Flat Rolled Products (FRP) business segment. Financial results of our aerospace-grade titanium plate products also transferred from HPMC to AAS effective January 1, 2020.

HPMC intensifies its focus on the aerospace & defense markets, with 82% of 2019 sales to these key end markets, led by products for commercial jet engines and supported by multi-year long-term sales agreements. AAS has a large presence in the energy markets and a growing presence in aerospace & defense, the latter of which comprised 24% of 2019 sales, with an emphasis on manufacturing high-value products primarily in flat-rolled forms, both reactive and refractory materials produced by SAC, as well as Specialty Rolled Products of the FRP US operations. AAS also includes Standard Stainless Sheet Products, including the A&T Stainless joint venture.

The segment reporting information for 2019 and prior periods provided in Exhibit 99.1 reflects this new internal management reporting basis of segment operating results and is filed as part of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
