The special charges include $3.4 million, or $0.04 per share, resulting from previously announced workforce reductions and a non-recurring, non-cash charge Non-Cash Charge

A charge off, made by a company against earnings, that does not require an initial outlay of cash.

Notes:
Non-cash charges are typically against the depreciation, amortization, and depletion accounts on a company's balance sheet.
 of $1.1 million, or $0.01 per share, resulting from the Company's minority interest in an investment held for sale. Excluding these special charges, the net loss was $(3.0) million, or $(0.04) per share, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2002. During the same period in 2001, net income was $8.0 million, or $0.10 per share, on sales of $537.7 million.

Third quarter 2002 highlights:
-- Flat-Rolled Products profitability improved modestly on cost reduction efforts

-- High Performance Metals impacted further by weak conditions in commercial aerospace and power generation markets

-- Industrial Products results lower due to continued weak manufacturing economy


Nine months 2002 highlights:

-- Cash flow from operations Cash flow from operations

 totaled $204 million

-- Managed working capital reduced by $120 million

-- Targeted cost reductions reached $97 million

-- Free cash flow of $122 million, or $1.52 per share

Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, were a net loss of $(26.1) million, or $(0.32) per share, including special charges of $4.5 million, or $0.05 per share, on sales of $1,453.6 million. These results compare to net income of $20.6 million, or $0.26 per share, on sales of $1,634.9 million for the comparable 2001 period, which included a non-cash after tax charge of $3.4 million, or $0.04 per share, in the second quarter 2001 for the write-off Write-Off

Imports

Imports of some stainless steel flat-rolled products rose during the first seven months of 2002, the most recent data available. Imports of stainless steel sheet and strip rose 8% during the first seven months and accounted for 17% of the market compared to 18% in the same period last year. Imports of stainless steel plate products rose 26%, reaching a 21% market share in the first seven months of 2001 compared to 18% during the same period in 2001. The Section 201 trade case actions are insignificant to the Company and do not impact the imports discussed above.

High Performance Metals

Third quarter 2002 compared to third quarter 2001

Sales declined 23% to $146.1 million due primarily to reduced demand from the commercial aerospace and power generation markets. Operating profit was $9.3 million compared to $22.9 million in the year-ago period. Shipments of nickel-based, specialty steel and titanium-based products decreased significantly while average prices increased due to product mix. Shipments of exotic alloys increased 53% while average prices were lower due to product mix.

Industrial Products

Due to the generally weak manufacturing sector of the economy, third quarter 2002 sales decreased to $56.8 million, a 15% reduction from the same period last year, resulting in a decrease in operating profit to $1.6 million compared to $2.5 million in the year-ago period. Compared to the second quarter 2002, sales decreased 5% and operating profit was 27% lower.

Retirement Benefits

A severe decline in the equity markets in both 2000 and 2001 and higher benefit liabilities from long-term labor contracts negotiated in 2001 resulted in a pre-tax retirement benefit expense of $5.4 million in the third quarter 2002 compared to pre-tax retirement benefit income of $10.1 million in the third quarter 2001. These factors resulted in a $15.5 million pre-tax, or $0.11 per share after-tax, reduction in third quarter 2002 earnings as compared to the third quarter 2001, and a $59.6 million pre-tax, or $0.44 per share after-tax, reduction in earnings for the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same 2001 period. The swing to retirement benefit expense from income had a negative effect on both cost of sales, and selling and administrative expenses in the third quarter 2002 compared to the same period last year. The further decline in the equity markets thus far in 2002 is likely to result in a significant increase in non-cash pre-tax retirement benefit expense for 2003, compared to 2002. However, this decline is not expected to result in a need to make cash contributions to the defined benefit pension plan for at least the next several years.

However, such a reduction would not impact the Company's compliance with existing debt covenants.

Other Earnings Comments

Corporate expenses for the third quarter 2002 of $5.6 million were comparable to the year-ago period, even though staff levels have been reduced. Third quarter 2002 interest expense increased to $8.3 million from $7.1 million in the year-ago period due to higher interest costs associated with the 8.375% 10-year Notes issued in December 2001, which were partially offset by the pay-off of all outstanding commercial paper.

 contracts for $150 million related to these Notes, which effectively converts this portion of the Notes to variable rate debt. The result of the swap contracts was a decrease in interest expense of $1.6 million for the three months and $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the fixed interest expense of the Notes.

Cash used in financing activities was $129.1 million and consisted of a reduction in debt of $80.8 million and dividend payments of $48.3 million.

Total debt outstanding declined to $524.7 million at September 30, 2002 from $582.2 million at end of 2001, primarily due to the pay-off of all outstanding commercial paper. The decline in debt outstanding was partially offset by the recognition of the fair market value of the interest rate swap contracts. At September 30, 2002, the accounting treatment required to adjust these swap contracts to fair market value resulted in the recognition of a $20.2 million asset on the balance sheet, included in other assets, with an offsetting increase in long-term debt Long-Term Debt
