ATI INC. (ATI) reported a net loss attributable to the company of $50.1 milliona for the third quarter of 2020, a significant decline from the $111.0 million net income reported in the prior year's quarter.

Additionally, ATI incurred $2.3 millionc in restructuring charges related to workforce right-sizing initiatives. Despite these challenges, ATI maintained a strong liquidity position with $572.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020, and had access to approximately $375 million in additional liquidity under its ABL facility, providing a total liquidity of approximately $950 million.
