NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD AFFIRMS
DISMISSAL OF STEELWORKERS CHARGES AGAINST
RTI SUBSIDIARY

Niles, Ohio – RTI International Metals, Inc., (NYSE: RTI) announced that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has affirmed dismissal of charges brought by the United Steelworkers against its subsidiary RMI Titanium Company, Niles, Ohio.

The NLRB had ruled in June 2004 that the Company’s denial of the Union’s demand to audit its financial records was legal and “based on its well-founded determination that it was not required to do so”. The Union appealed the decision. The NLRB has rejected that appeal and dismissed the charge.

RTI International Metals^®, headquartered in Niles, Ohio, is one of the world’s largest producers of titanium. Through its various subsidiaries, RTI manufactures and distributes titanium and specialty metal mill products, extruded shapes, formed parts and engineered systems for aerospace, industrial, defense, energy, chemical and consumer applications for customers around the world.
