RTI International Metals Inc. (RTI, Financial) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2010-06-30.
Rti International Metals Inc. has a market cap of $883.7 million; its shares were traded at around $29.38 with a P/E ratio of 979.4 and P/S ratio of 2.2.

Excluding the $2.3 million charge in the prior year period associated with the U.S. Customs investigation of our previously filed duty drawback claims, gross profit for the Titanium Group decreased $5.2 million compared to the prior year. Lower average realized selling prices reduced gross profit by $8.4 million. Further, the Titanium Groups gross profit was unfavorably impacted by $0.3 million due to lower sales of Titanium Group-sourced inventory by our Fabrication and Distribution Group businesses. These decreases were partially offset by a higher margin sales mix which increased gross profit by $3.0 million. Additionally, gross profit at the Titanium Group was favorably impacted $0.7 million due to higher ferro-alloy demand.
The $1.8 million increase in SG&A was primarily related to a $2.8 million increase in salaries and benefits in the current year compared to the prior year, partially offset by a reduction of $0.4 million in professional and consulting expenses. SG&A expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 included the reversal of $2.2 million of incentive compensation accruals as a result of our decision to eliminate incentive compensation in 2009 in response to the challenging market conditions which existed at the time.
Excluding the $2.3 million charge in the prior year period associated with the U.S. Customs investigation of our previously filed duty drawback claims, operating income decreased $2.6 million for the Titanium Group compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower gross profit due to lower realized selling prices, partially offset by a reduction in SG&A costs.
Interest Income and Interest Expense. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The decrease in interest income was principally related to lower returns on invested cash, as well as lower overall cash balances, compared to the prior year period. Interest expense was $0.3 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to the decrease in our long-term debt compared to the prior year as a result of the payoff of our $225 million term loan in September 2009.
Inclusive of discrete items, we recognized a benefit from income taxes of $8.1 million, or (372.3)% of pretax income, and $2.8 million, or 104.7% of the pretax loss, for federal, state, and foreign income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The current year-to-date benefit is expected to reverse in the second half of 2010 based on our most recent forecast. Discrete items recognized during each of the three months periods were immaterial.

Highlight of Business Operations:
An increase of 36% in shipments, offset by a 27% decrease in the average realized selling prices of prime mill products to our trade customers, resulted in a $0.2 million reduction in the Titanium Groups net sales. The decrease in average realized selling prices was primarily due to the continued high proportion of sales under long-term agreements with lower contract pricing versus the comparable period in the prior year. Offsetting these impacts was a strengthening in ferro-alloy demand from the specialty steel industry which resulted in a $3.7 million increase in net sales.Excluding the $2.3 million charge in the prior year period associated with the U.S. Customs investigation of our previously filed duty drawback claims, gross profit for the Titanium Group decreased $5.2 million compared to the prior year.
