the year of $65 million
Fourth Quarter 2007 Results
-- Net sales of $163.8 million
-- Operating income of $39.4 million
-- Net income of $24.9 million
For the full year 2007, the Company reported net sales of $626.8 million versus net sales of $505.4 million for 2006, a 24% increase. Operating income for the year increased 22% from $115.3 million in 2006 to $141.2 million in 2007. Net income for the year was $92.6 million, or $4.00 per diluted share. Net income for 2006 was $75.7 million or $3.29 per diluted share.
For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, the Company reported net sales of $163.8 million compared to $143.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase of 14%. Operating income was $39.4 million versus $40.6 million in 2006. Fourth quarter net income was $24.9 million or $1.08 per diluted share in comparison to $26.8 million or $1.16 per diluted share for the same period in the prior year. The quarterly year-over-year comparison reflected the unprecedented business climate for titanium during the fourth quarter of 2006.
Titanium Group
For the year 2007, RTI's Titanium Group posted operating income of $102.6 million including the impact of the $7.2 million duty drawback charge on net sales of $434.3 million including intersegment sales of $181.2 million. This performance surpassed 2006 operating income of $78.5 million on sales of $356.9 million, including intersegment sales of $152.0 million. Mill product shipments for the year were 15.4 million pounds at an average realized price of $26.58 per pound up 28% over RTI's average realized price for 2006.
For the fourth quarter of 2007, the Titanium Group posted operating income of $33.7 million on sales of $114.1 million, including intersegment sales of $45.4 million. Mill product shipments for the fourth quarter were 4.0 million pounds at an average realized price of $27.34 per pound compared to mill product shipments of 3.9 million pounds in 2006 at an average realized price of $22.45 per pound.
Dawne S. Hickton, Vice Chairman & CEO commented, "The Titanium Group had its second consecutive record year in 2007. Net sales, operating income and earnings were at all-time highs. We extended our contract with Airbus, as well as the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) contract with Lockheed Martin. To support these long-term contracts, we made major commitments to increase our titanium melting, forging and rolling capability, and to ensure a reliable supply of raw material through the new sponge plant in Hamilton, Mississippi. In light of these and other initiatives, I look forward to even better results for 2008."
Fabrication & Distribution Group
For 2007, net sales for the Fabrication & Distribution Group ("F&D") grew 24% to a record $373.7 million versus $300.5 million in 2006. The F&D Group also had record operating income of $38.6 million for the year, compared to $36.8 million in 2006. For the fourth quarter of 2007, the F&D Group posted operating income of $5.7 million on sales of $95.1 million. During the same period in 2006, this Group had operating income of $15.4 million on sales of $92.9 million.
"The modest increase in operating income was impacted by costs relating to our Houston and new Montreal facilities, as our spending increased in anticipation of meeting the demands of the Boeing 787 contract, as well as a softening in prices for certain products sold by our distribution facilities," said Dawne Hickton. "For 2008, we expect that the F&D Group's operating results will continue to improve as production at the Houston and Montreal facilities ramp up to support the $900 million long-term agreement with Boeing, as well as other initiatives."
Expansions
During 2007, we substantially completed our previously announced $35 million expansion in the Titanium Group to support the $800 million 10-year Airbus contract announced in 2006, as well as the $43 million expansion in the F&D Group for the Boeing 787 program.
The Company's capital expenditures for the year were $65 million of which $6 million was related to the future sponge and mill expansion projects while the remaining $59 million was related to previously announced expansions, replacement and maintenance requirements.
Outlook
"Our major capital expansion projects are on track to support the $4 billion of long-term agreements we have signed that ramp up production in 2010 and beyond," said Dawne Hickton. "Our cash on hand at year-end was $107.5 million, and with our new credit facility of $240 million in place, we are well positioned to support the more than $400 million in announced capital expenditures, while we continue to seek additional growth opportunities. For 2008, we expect mill product shipments to range between 17 - 18 million pounds at an average realized price lower than that experienced in 2007. We also expect sales to increase 15 - 20% and operating income to increase 7 - 12% versus 2007."

RTI still consolidating...
Closed past resistance today @ 73. Good sign...
With titanium in short supply, don't expect RTI to remain at current low levels...
RECOMMENDATION by The Street.com
We rate RTI INTL METALS INC (RTI) a BUY. We are positive on the expected benefit from a favorable demand
outlook for titanium, a growing order backlog, and a strong balance sheet. Also, RTI reported an impressive
earnings performance in the recently concluded quarter, leading to a good improvement in shareholder
return.
HIGHLIGHTS
Favorable demand outlook. Titanium demand continues to benefit from rising consumption among aerospace
companies such as Boeing Co. (BA) and Airbus S.A.S., which has prompted producers to add capacity.
Further, the usage of titanium in industrial applications, medical equipment, and oil and gas exploration, is
picking up. RTI is best poised to benefit from this, due to its strong market presence and growing exposure to
military and defense markets.
Margin expansion fuels earnings growth. RTI’s net income more than doubled to $22.07 million in Q1 FY07
compared to $10.74 million in Q1 FY06, primarily due to a 771 basis points improvement in its operating margin,
driven by selling price increases and a favorable mix of high margin mill products. The company’s order
backlog grew by 6.0% and stood at $606.00 million as of Q1 FY06 end. Looking forward, management expects
full FY07 revenue to grow by 20.0% to 25.0% over FY06.
Strong balance sheet. RTI is an under leveraged company with a very low total debt-to-equity ratio (0.03 as of
Q1 FY07), and a cash balance of $129.65 million. This strong cash position and its ability to leverage provides
the company the financial flexibility it needs to continue generating solid organic growth and fund future
acquisition plans, while enhancing value for its shareholders.
Superior return-on-equity (ROE). RTI’s ROE improved a robust 767 basis points to 17.75% as of Q1 FY07 end, led
by a strong growth in net income. In turn, RTI’s ROE surpassed the average of the Metals & Mining industry
and the S&P 500 at quarter’s end. Looking forward, ROE growth could continue due to anticipated net income
growth.
Risks to the BUY rating. The principal risks to the rating emanates from customer order cancellations or any
unexpected delay in fulfilling customer supply obligations. Also, any significant increase in the cost of the
company’s key input, ferro- titanium, could hurt RTI’s operating margin.
