The Company’s investments to increase capacity and focus on continuous improvement are driving improvements to our work-flow processes and operations. HPMC results for 2025 reflected year-over-year improved operating leverage and pricing as we continued to experience increasing demand from the aerospace & defense market, especially for commercial jet engines. Although macro risks and uncertainty continue, we believe our capabilities, strong backlog and long-term agreements with aerospace market OEMs for our specialty materials, including powders, parts and components, position the HPMC segment for profitable growth for the next several years. ATI has prepared for the potential risks of tariffs for many years, and we have taken actions to minimize the impact of tariffs in our contracts and supply chains.
