MESSAGE FROM CEO


At ATI, we believe a company should be defined not only by near-term financial results, but also by
its values and the way in which those values inform its actions. Woven into our mindset, our core
values set the foundation of everything that we achieve. They ensure that we keep our people safe,
protect the environment while delivering for our customers, create the diverse and inclusive culture
we aspire to lead, and support the communities in which we operate.
Last year marked a significant turning point for ATI, defined by crucial transformation of our business that sharpened our focus on the demanding, high-value
products and markets where our unique materials science capabilities set us apart. Despite rapid change and significant uncertainty, we evolved and strengthened
our business while maintaining our steadfast commitment to environmental stewardship, social engagement and strong corporate governance. In 2022, we are
poised for growth and energized by many opportunities to promote these principals while delivering for our investors. Robert S. Wetherbee
In particular, we are excited about the many opportunities the “greening” of the global economy presents to our business. Our products are indispensable to our Board Chair, President and

customers’ efforts to meet the challenges of the world’s rapidly evolving and demanding sustainability needs and expectations. ATI’s innovative and exacting
products and services are helping to solve the world’s climate and other environmental challenges through materials science, with applications ranging from lighter,
more fuel efficient, longer-lasting jet engines, to renewable and other carbon-free energy production, to pollution control and wastewater treatment.
We do what we say we are going to do, when we say we are going to do it, and we do it the right way. We are committed in our own operations to achieving
our stated environmental goals, improving the diversity of our workforce, cultivating an inclusive corporate culture, fostering local community involvement and
sustaining our long and proud tradition of robust corporate governance. As an industry leader, and as reflected in this Report, we’ve succeeded in advancing each
of these priorities, and we look forward to continuing progress.
To that end, I am pleased to report that – as promised – we adopted the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) reporting framework for
2021 and published our inaugural stand-alone TCFD Report, which you can find at https://www.atimetals.com/aboutati/Pages/safety-sustainability.aspx. This
effort reflects our ongoing commitment to addressing the impacts of climate change as part of our broader ESG vision.
Thank you for your support as we look forward to discovering new ways to solve the world’s challenges through materials science.

Our 2021 Performance and Progress Toward Our Goals


In 2018, we began annually reporting on our progress toward our goals, based on data that generally included our largest domestic manufacturing operations. Consistent with our goal for 2022, we have
included all of our manufacturing facilities in our performance target reporting for 2021, expanding beyond our seven largest facilities. Our metrics now include data from our 19 manufacturing locations
including facilities.

The following tables summarize our recent performance relative to our other environmental sustainability goals for our manufacturing sites. Our data for 2018 has been adjusted to
include the 19 locations mentioned above and is presented as adjusted and compared to 2021. As illustrated below, we have made significant progress toward our goals since 2018,
including meaningful reductions in GHG emissions from both an absolute “location based” standpoint and from a “market based” standpoint giving effect to our zero-emission nuclear
generation supply contract.

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions


Our GHG emissions (which as reported include gross global Scope 1 emissions and Scope 2 emissions) for 2021 were significantly lower
than our base year 2018 emissions. Year-over-year total emissions decreased by approximately 45% in 2021 compared to 2018, primarily
attributable to increased purchases of carbon-free electric generation. Although our performance in 2021 was also impacted by lower
production activity, we believe that this represents meaningful progress toward our goals for 2025 and beyond.

At the end of 2021, we had 34 operating facilities, including manufacturing and service centers,
18 of which had obtained ISO 14001 certification of their environmental management programs.
In light of the pandemic and the ongoing consolidation and restructuring of our facilities, we are
re-evaluating our ISO 14001 certification goal as part of our decision to revise our goals in 2022.

Engagement and Performance Management

► Senior Leader Communication and Transparency. We actively seek opportunities for regular
engagement and communication by our CEO and other senior executive leaders with our
broader employee population. For example, we hold a quarterly CEO Review that follows
the release of our quarterly earnings and is accessible to hundreds of employees across the
Company. These reviews provide an opportunity for our CEO and other senior leaders to
communicate their perspectives on our recent financial results, as well as financial education
and enterprise-level education on topics such as global commercial and other growth initiatives,
cybersecurity, ethics and compliance, talent and development programs, opportunities for
community engagement and safety.

► Annual Employee Engagement Surveys. Annually, we conduct a confidential company-wide


employee engagement survey. Feedback from these surveys provides our management team
with valuable information about our workplace culture. It is reviewed with our Board and used
to develop and refine other aspects of our overall human capital management and other growth
strategies.

► Performance Management Framework. We maintain a robust annual performance management


process across the organization. Together with their supervisors, employees identify annual
goals and, at the end of the year, provide their own self assessments as to goal achievement and
defined core competencies. Employees are reviewed based on the same criteria by both their
managers and a second-level reviewer. The results of each annual assessment inform short term
incentive compensation and career advancement decisions and are reviewed with employees in
one-on-one sessions with their managers.

Succession Planning

► We maintain a formal succession planning process and career mapping framework that is
designed to work in concert with our performance management processes and ensure a
systematic and ongoing dialogue regarding career development and succession planning at both
the individual employee level and more broadly at an enterprise level. We believe that the robust
and systematic nature of these programs is critical to optimizing our talent management and
ensuring sustainably high-quality management of our business over the long term.
