Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Allegheny Technologies Incorporated
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Rome
Metals, LLC Employees 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We
were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Our
audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the
changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken
as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December
31, 2009, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosures under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates and Basis of Accounting
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The financial statements are prepared under the accrual basis of accounting.
Investment Valuation
Investments are reported at fair value. Fully benefit-responsive investment contracts held by a
defined contribution plan are reported at fair value in the Plans statement of net assets
available for benefits with a corresponding adjustment to reflect these investments at contract
value. Contract value is the relevant measurement attributable to fully benefit-responsive
investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were
to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The contract value represents
contributions plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued changes to disclosure
requirements to allow entities to use net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent), as a
practical expedient, to measure fair value when the investment does not have a readily determinable
market value and the NAV is calculated in a manner consistent with investment company accounting.
The adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on the Plans net assets available for
benefits or its changes in net assets available for benefits.
In January 2010, the FASB issued changes to disclosure requirements for fair value measurements,
including the amount of transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the reasons
for transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and activity for recurring Level 3
measures. In addition, the changes clarify certain disclosure requirements related to the level at
which fair value disclosures should be disaggregated with separate disclosures of purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements, and the requirement to provide disclosures about valuation techniques
and inputs used in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities classified as Levels 2 or 3.
The Plan will adopt the disclosure changes effective January 1, 2010, except for the disaggregated
Level 3 rollforward disclosures, which will be effective for fiscal year 2011. The adoption of
these changes is not expected to have a material impact on the Plans net assets available for
benefits or its changes in net assets available for benefits.

Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Description of the Plan
The Rome Metals, LLC Employees 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution
plan and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA). Rome Metals, LLC (the Plan Sponsor or the Company) is an indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiary of Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (the Plan Administrator).
The purpose of the Plan is to provide retirement benefits to eligible employees through Company
contributions and to encourage employee thrift by permitting eligible employees to defer a part of
their compensation and contribute such deferral to the Plan. The Plan allows employees to
contribute a portion of eligible wages each pay period through payroll deductions subject to
Internal Revenue Code limitations.
The Company also contributes an amount from its current or accumulated profits for each Plan Year
as determined by its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may choose
to make contributions without regard to its current or accumulated profits for the Plan Year. The
determination of Company contributions for employees in the collective bargaining unit represented
by the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and
Service Workers AFL-CIO, CLC, are subject to the terms of the collective bargaining agreement
effective May 31, 2008.
The Plan allows participants to direct their contributions, and contributions made by the Company,
to any of the investment alternatives. Unless otherwise specified by the participant, contributions
are made to State Street Global Advisors Target Retirement Fund that most closely matches the
participants 65th birthday date (e.g., State Street Target Retirement 2020 SL Series Fund).
Separate accounts are maintained by the Plan Sponsor for each participating employee. Trustee fees
and asset management fees charged by the Plans trustee, Mercer Trust Company, for the
administration of all funds are charged against net assets available for benefits of the respective
fund. Certain other expenses of administering the Plan may be paid by the Plan Sponsor.
Participants may make in-service and hardship withdrawals as outlined in the plan document.

2. Description of the Plan (continued)
Participants are always fully vested in that portion of their participant account balance derived
from their own contributions. The portion derived from Company contributions vest based upon the
employees years of service, as follows:

Active employees can borrow up to 50% of their vested account balances minus any outstanding loans.
The loan amounts are further limited to a minimum of $500 and a maximum of $50,000, and an employee
can obtain no more than three loans at one time. Interest rates are determined based on
commercially accepted criteria, and payment schedules vary based on the type of the loan.
General-purpose loans are repaid over 6 to 60 months, and primary residence loans are repaid over
periods up to 180 months. Payments are made by payroll deductions.
Further information about the Plan, including eligibility, vesting, contributions, and withdrawals,
is contained in the plan document, summary plan description, and related contracts. These documents
are available from the Plan Sponsor.
3. Investments
The BNY Mellon Stable Value Fund (the Fund) invests in guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) and
actively managed structured or synthetic investment contracts (SICs). The GICs are promises by a
bank or insurance company to repay principal plus a fixed rate of return through contract maturity.
SICs differ from GICs in that there are specific assets supporting the SICs and these assets are
owned by the Plan. The bank or insurance company issues a wrapper contract that allows
participant-directed transactions to be made at contract value. The assets supporting the SICs are
comprised of government agency bonds, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities (ABOs), and
collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs).
Interest crediting rates on the GICs in the Fund are determined at the time of purchase. The Fund
had no GIC investments for the periods presented. Interest crediting rates on the SICs are either:
(1) set at the time of purchase for a fixed term and crediting rate, (2) set at the time of
purchase for a fixed term and variable crediting rate, or (3) set at the time of purchase and reset
monthly

within a constant duration. A constant duration contract may specify a duration of 2.5 years, and
the crediting rate is adjusted monthly based upon quarterly rebalancing of eligible 2.5 year
duration investment instruments at the time of each resetting; in effect the contract never
matures.
The following presents investments that represent 5% or more of the Plans net assets:

Although it is managements intention to hold the investment contracts in the Fund until
maturity, certain investment contracts provide for adjustments to contract value for withdrawals
made prior to maturity.
Certain investments are subject to restrictions or limitations if the Plan Sponsor decided to
entirely exit the investments. Investments in registered investment companies and the Fund require
at least 30 days prior notice to completely withdraw from the investments. The targeted date fund
investments held in common collective trusts currently require the prior approval of the investment
manager if the Plan Sponsor decided to entirely exit these investments.
4. Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with accounting standards, fair value is defined as the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value.
-7-
Rome Metals, LLC Employees 401(k) and
Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
4. Fair Value Measurements (continued)
The accounting standards establish a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon
the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.
Determination of Fair Value
Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not
available, fair value is based upon models that primarily use, as inputs, market-based or
independently-sourced market parameters, including yield curves, interest rates, volatilities,
equity or debt prices, foreign exchange rates and credit curves. In addition to market information,
models may also incorporate transaction details, such as maturity. Valuation adjustments, such as
liquidity valuation adjustments, may be necessary when the Plan is unable to observe a recent
market price for a financial instrument that trades in inactive (or less active) markets. Liquidity
adjustments are not taken for positions classified within Level 1 (as defined below) of the fair
value hierarchy.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net
realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its
valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of
different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments
could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
Valuation Hierarchy
The three levels of inputs to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices
for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets and
liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are
significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models,
discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
A financial instruments categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

4. Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Valuation Methodologies
The valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, including their
general classification based on the fair value hierarchy, includes the following:
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents where the NAV is a quoted price in a market that is active, it
is classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. In certain cases, NAV is a quoted
price in a market that is not active, or is based on quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, and these investments are classified within Level 2 of the
valuation hierarchy. |
|
|
|
Corporate common stocks these investments are valued at the closing price reported on
the major market on which the individual securities are traded. Substantially all other common
stock is classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. |
|
|
|
Common collective trust funds these investments are public investment vehicles valued
using the NAV provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the
underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of
shares outstanding. The NAV is a quoted price in a market that is not active and classified
within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. |
|
|
|
Registered investment companies these investments are public investment vehicles valued
using the NAV provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the
underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of
shares outstanding. Where the NAV is a quoted price in a market that is active, it is
classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. In certain cases, NAV is a quoted price
in a market that is not active, or is based on quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, and these investments are classified within Level 2 of the
valuation hierarchy. |
|
|
|
Corporate debt instruments, U.S. government and federal agency obligations, U.S.
government-sponsored entity obligations, and other where quoted prices are available in an
active market, the investments are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If
quoted market prices are not available for the specific security, then fair values are
estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics,
or discounted cash flows. When quoted market prices for the specific security are not
available in an active market, they are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. |

4. Fair Value Measurements (continued)
|
|
Synthetic investment contracts fair value is based on the underlying investments. The
underlying investments include government agency bonds, corporate bonds, ABOs and CMOs.
Because inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, synthetic investment contracts are classified within Level 2 of
the valuation hierarchy. |
|
|
|
Loans to plan participants valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair
value and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. |
The following tables present the financial instruments carried at fair value by caption on the
statement of net assets available for benefits and by category of the valuation hierarchy (as
described above). The Plan had no assets classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
There were no reclassifications of assets between levels of the valuation hierarchy for the periods
presented.

5. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) dated August
2, 2000, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the
Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this issuance of the
determination letter, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in
conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is
being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes
that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt. The Plan was most
recently amended and restated effective June 1, 2009 to conform with certain provisions of the
Pension Protection Act of 2006 and other regulations, and in January 2010 an Application for
Determination was filed with the IRS with respect to said amendment and restatement.
6. Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the employing companies have the right under the
Plan to discontinue their contributions at any time and to terminate their respective
participation in the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. However, no such action may deprive
any participant of any vested right.

7. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various
risk such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with
certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of
investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect
participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available
for benefits.
8. Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500
The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements
