RTI International Metals, Inc.
To Our Shareholders As we begin our 50th year in titanium, conditions are improving in our principle aerospace markets. The excess inventory held by our customers that has plagued the industry for the last couple of years has been substantially depleted. Boeing and Airbus have firm orders for over 3,200 aircraft, representing four to five years of production. Both have announced production increases. As a result, order flow and selling prices are increasing for our mill products. Prospects are also improving for RTI’s energy related businesses as deep-water oil and gas exploration activity increases. Our backlog for these products exceeds $20 million and is growing. Demand for the products and services of our Fabrication and Distribution Group is also expanding, where sales in the first quarter grew 42% over the previous quarter. Our strategy for growing this business in Europe is the subject of this quarter’s “Focus on…” (opposite). On a consolidated basis, RTI’s order backlog, which grew 27% in the final period last year, grew an additional 28% in the first quarter. RTI has 1,200 men and women who work on your behalf each day, diligently finding ways to improve our operations and reduce cost at all levels while continuing to produce the finest quality products in the industry. As a result of their efforts and improving market conditions, we remain confident in RTI’s future, both near and long term.

Focus on... RTI Europe One of RTI International Metals’ key strategies is to expand our capabilities and operations in Europe, enhancing our ability to further add customer value to our products. Our operations in the U.K. and France provide full service fabrication and distribution facilities, while Germany and Italy were recently added to increase sales support on the continent. These operations work closely with our customers to maximize value while also reducing costs. One example is optimizing the number of parts produced from a single piece of input material. This is accomplished by careful design during the production process, which significantly reduces our customers final component costs and minimizes scrap. Our experienced sales and manufacturing personnel provide the necessary ongoing technical support and manufacturing expertise that is important in building and maintaining these commercial relationships. Approximately 20% of RTI’s total revenue flows through RTI Europe and this is expected to increase as major RTI European programs, including Airbus, Eurofighter, compact heat exchangers, and automotive applications show sustained growth over the coming years. The European operations also work closely with their RTI affiliate subsidiaries in America to augment capabilities, which add to RTI’s European competitive advantage including titanium mill products, CAD/CAM, water-jet cutting, machining, extrusion capability, hot forming, and a wide array of other products and services. The inherent synergies and expertise of these groups focus on supplying our customers with a wider range of products and services, while improving revenues, diversifying activities, and enhancing shareholder value. RTI is well positioned to further serve and support the European Union Community, as it becomes an ever-growing segment in the world economy. To illustrate this, in the April 2001 Stainless Steel World's "Titanium Special" issue, RTI was the featured cover story. In addition to highlighting our Company and titanium, they increased their readers’ awareness and knowledge of our products, services, and the diversity we offer. In time, this type of coverage will serve RTI well as it continues to market to an evergrowing number of customers and applications.
