Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

The holders of the 15% noncontrolling interest in ATI Flowform Products have a put option to require the Company to purchase their equity interest at a redemption value determinable from a specified formula based on a multiple of EBITDA (subject to a fixed minimum linked to the original acquisition date value). The put option is fully exercisable beginning in the second quarter of 2017, and is also exercisable under certain other circumstances. The put option cannot be separated from the noncontrolling interest, and the combination of a noncontrolling interest and the redemption feature requires classification as redeemable noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheet, separate from Stockholders’ Equity.

The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest approximates its maximum redemption value. Any subsequent change in maximum redemption value is adjusted through retained earnings. The adjustment to the carrying amount for the six months ended June 30, 2015 reduced retained earnings by $0.1 million. The Company applied the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, and as such this adjustment to the carrying amount was reflected in earnings per share. The redeemable noncontrolling interest was $12.1 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, which was unchanged from the acquisition date value.
