RTI International Metals, Inc.
1st Quarter 2004
To Our Shareholders RTI earned $0.13 per share in the first quarter on sales of $54 million. However, profitability did not come from operations. During the quarter the Company received its final payment under a 5-year take-or-pay contract with Boeing which contributed $0.28 per share. Operating results continued to reflect weak demand from commercial aerospace markets. The Titanium Group lost $4.1 million, most of which came from the Group’s Niles, Ohio plant where management employees operated the facility after hourly workers declined a new contract in October of 2003. To date, the work stoppage has not been an impediment to operational utilization or the booking of new orders. In fact, during the quarter, shipments of mill products increased slightly to 1.5 million pounds. The Fabrication and Distribution Group also had a loss of $0.9 million, despite a good performance by the Group’s domestic distribution businesses. There continues to be talk among industry insiders of signs of improving conditions in commercial aerospace, but evidence is not yet in hand. Airbus and Boeing have announced increased build rates and titanium order backlogs have increased some, but profitability within the airline industry remains elusive. Without profits, carriers cannot buy new planes. After the long drought in this market, everyone is eager for positive signs, but a measure of caution also seems appropriate.

Focus on...
China
RTI International Metals opened a new office in Guangzhou, China, last year in order to increase our participation in a part of the world that is currently experiencing dramatic economic growth and development. It is this new effort that we “Focus on…” in this quarterly report to investors.
The opportunities for titanium mill products and business relationships in China and the Pacific Rim are as vast as the geography they cover. RTI’s office opened in September 2003, and during these past nine months, we have established numerous contacts and potential customers throughout the entire region. The Chinese titanium market has experienced rapid growth since 2000, due to the internal domestic needs for power plants, chemical facilities, and numerous other corrosion related applications as they continue to develop their infrastructure. Demand from China’s aerospace industries is also expanding, which bodes well for titanium alloys. In addition, the consumer markets continue to grow, requiring titanium in everything from bicycles to golf clubs, eyeglasses, pots and pans for cooking, jewelry, watches, medical implants, and architectural applications.
China, like the rest of the world, is an extremely competitive environment. Although RTI’s established presence on the ground is new, we have a long recognized history of providing products and services to that part of the world. Adding an RTI location in China has further established our commitment to working in and with the industries of that vast country. We hope that through our presence there, our customers will come to know RTI even better.
