________________________________________________________________________________

1 The Arconic segments described in this release consist of Alcoa’s existing Value-Add segments: Global Rolled Products, Engineered Products and Solutions, and Transportation and Construction Solutions. The Alcoa Corporation segments described herein consist of the existing Upstream segments: Alumina and Primary Metals. Until the separation is effected, financial information about the future Arconic and Alcoa Corporation companies herein relates solely to the Value-Add and Upstream segments, respectively, and does not include any of the corporate-related items that are currently presented in Alcoa’s Reconciliation of Total Segment ATOI to Consolidated Net Income. Following the separation, the rolling mill operations in Warrick, IN and Saudi Arabia (which are currently in the Global Rolled Products segment) will belong to Alcoa Corporation.

________________________________________________________________________________

Lightweight metals leader Alcoa (NYSE:AA) today reported second quarter 2016 results. Profit in the future combined Arconic (Value-Add) segments grew year-over-year and the future combined Alcoa Corporation (Upstream) segments strengthened sequentially. The Company is on track to complete its separation in the second half of 2016.

"As markets ever more rapidly evolve, we have made Alcoa increasingly agile; results continue to improve,” said Klaus Kleinfeld, Alcoa Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “In the face of a transforming aerospace market, we moved quickly to bring our costs down while capturing new opportunities. Contract wins continued as did our innovation leadership with the opening of a state-of-the-art metals powder plant geared toward rising demand for 3D-printed parts. Our automotive sheet revenue hit an all-time high. After substantially reshaping our Upstream segments they are now performing well even in a low pricing environment; we are building out our bauxite business and continue to win new supply contracts. Exceptional productivity and monetization of non-essential assets has put us in an excellent cash position. Our separation is on track for later this year.”

Alcoa reported second quarter 2016 net income of $135 million, or $0.09 per share, including $78 million in special items primarily related to separation costs, restructuring-related charges and associated tax impacts, discussed below. Year-over-year, second quarter 2016 results compare to net income of $140 million, or $0.10 per share.

Excluding the impact of special items, second quarter 2016 adjusted net income was $213 million, or $0.15 per share. All segments contributed to $375 million in productivity gains, partially offsetting the negative effects of lower year-over-year alumina and aluminum pricing and cost increases. In second quarter 2015, Alcoa reported adjusted net income, excluding special items, of $250 million, or $0.19 per share.

The second quarter effective tax rate of 46 percent was affected by special items during the quarter, including certain non-deductible expenses related to the separation and tax costs associated with the sale of company-owned life insurance policies. Excluding the impact of all special items, the quarterly tax rate on operating results was 31 percent.

Year-over-year, a 4 percent revenue increase from recent acquisitions and organic growth was more than offset by a 14 percent revenue decline due primarily to lower aluminum and alumina pricing and the impact of curtailed, divested and closed operations. As a result of these combined factors, Alcoa reported second quarter 2016 revenue of $5.3 billion, down 10 percent from $5.9 billion in the second quarter of 2015.

Asset Sales

Alcoa continues to strengthen its balance sheet and maximize cash flow through sales of non-essential assets. Announced sales are expected to generate total cash proceeds of $1.2 billion during 2016, of which $815 million has been received year-to-date. In the second quarter of 2016, Alcoa:

  • Liquidated additional company-owned life insurance policies for gross proceeds of $223 million;
  • Sold its Remmele Medical business, which was part of the RTI International Metals acquisition, to LISI MEDICAL, for $102 million; and
  • Sold for $111 million equity and fixed income securities held by its captive insurance company.

Additionally in the second quarter, Alcoa reached agreement to sell the following assets for a total of approximately $400 million:

  • Real estate in Ferndale, Washington to Petrogas and property associated with a former Alcoa smelter in Frederick, Maryland to a regional commercial real estate company; and
  • The Yadkin Hydroelectric Project in North Carolina to Cube Hydro Carolinas LLC, an affiliate of Cube Hydro Partners LLC, which will manage the assets.

The transactions above are expected to close in the second half of 2016.

Cash Flows

Alcoa ended second quarter 2016 with cash on hand of $1.9 billion. Cash from operations was $332 million. Free cash flow for the quarter was $55 million, which reflected an additional planned prepayment of $200 million related to a natural gas supply agreement in Australia and pension contributions of $77 million. Additionally, cash used for financing activities and cash provided from investing activities were $100 million and $311 million, respectively.

Market Update

In the global aerospace market, 2016 continues to be a transition year for original equipment manufacturers. Within jet engines, new launches are accelerating demand, outpacing near-term demand for structural airframe components, which is being partially absorbed through de-stocking.

The Company is forecasting improvement in the second half of 2016 as new platforms ramp up, and a strong 2017. Large commercial aircraft deliveries declined approximately 1 percent year-over-year in the first half of 2016, but are expected to rise 6 percent in the second half of 2016 compared to the first. As a result, Alcoa forecasts full-year 2016 deliveries to be flat to up 3 percent, followed by strong double-digit growth in 2017.

In automotive, Alcoa continues to forecast global automotive production growth of 1 to 4 percent. This includes 1 to 4 percent growth in North America, where the United States continues to record strong sales, particularly in the light truck segment. The global outlook is driven by a variety of factors, including low fuel prices, sustained demand, stable consumer confidence and recovery of global economies.

Alcoa also projects solid growth in other end markets. Low natural gas prices in North America and the adoption of new, high-efficiency industrial gas turbine models continue to drive orders for both heavy-duty gas turbines and spare parts. Alcoa projects global airfoil market growth to be 2 to 4 percent for 2016. The 2016 packaging market is projected to grow 1 to 3 percent and the global building and construction market, 4 to 6 percent.

Growth in the heavy duty truck, trailer and bus market in Europe and China is expected to be offset by continued production declines in North America, setting the global production outlook for the commercial transportation market at negative 4 to negative 1 percent for the year.

In 2016, Alcoa projects an approximately 775 thousand metric ton global aluminum deficit as 5 percent global aluminum demand growth outweighs 2.5 percent global aluminum supply growth. In addition, the Company projects a global alumina deficit of 1.5 million metric tons.

Arconic Overview

After the Company’s separation, the innovation and technology-driven Arconic will include Global Rolled Products (other than the rolling mill operations in Warrick, IN and Saudi Arabia, which will move to Alcoa Corporation), Engineered Products and Solutions and Transportation and Construction Solutions. In second quarter 2016, these Value-Add segments reported combined revenue of $3.5 billion, after-tax operating income (ATOI) of $294 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $567 million.

ATOI and adjusted EBITDA increased 3 and 6 percent, respectively, year-over-year. The combined segments also generated $176 million in productivity ($360 million year-to-date) as part of their business improvement programs announced in the first quarter. All Arconic segments are on track to deliver a combined $650 million in productivity savings in 2016.

In addition, in the second quarter, the future Arconic:

  • Signed a long-term contract valued at approximately $470 million with Embraer for aluminum sheet and plate for Embraer’s new E2 jet airliners; and
  • Opened a state-of-the-art, 3D printing metal powder production facility located at the Alcoa Technology Center to develop and produce proprietary titanium, nickel and aluminum powders optimized for 3D printed aerospace parts.

Alcoa Corporation Overview

Following the Company’s separation, Alcoa Corporation will comprise Bauxite, Alumina, Aluminum, Cast Products, and Energy – today’s Alumina and Primary Metals segments – as well as the rolling mill operations in Warrick, IN, and Saudi Arabia that are currently part of the Global Rolled Products segment. In second quarter 2016, the Alumina and Primary Metals segments reported revenue of $2.3 billion, ATOI of $150 million and adjusted EBITDA of $358 million. These segments generated $199 million in productivity in the second quarter ($379 million year-to-date) as part of its business improvement program, and are on track to deliver a combined $550 million in productivity savings for 2016.

In the second quarter, Alcoa Corporation continued to successfully build its third-party bauxite business. Alcoa World Alumina and Chemicals (AWAC) signed new third-party bauxite contracts valued at $60 million over the next two years for a total of $410 million in the first half of 2016. Under the contracts, AWAC will supply bauxite to external customers from four of its global mines. The new contracts, which will triple Alcoa Corporation’s third-party bauxite sales in 2016 from 2015, serve customers in China, the United States, Europe and Brazil. AWAC is an unincorporated joint venture that consists of a group of companies, which are owned 60 percent by Alcoa and 40 percent by Alumina Limited of Australia.

In addition, Alcoa Corporation continued to take aggressive action to improve its competitiveness and reached a new power agreement for its Intalco smelter in Washington State and completed the curtailment of the Pt. Comfort, Texas refinery.

As a result of these activities, Alcoa Corporation remains on target to meet or exceed its 2016 goals of moving to the 38th percentile on the global aluminum cost curve and 21st percentile on the global alumina cost curve.

Segment Information

Global Rolled Products

ATOI in the second quarter was $68 million, compared to $76 million in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding the $17 million impact of transforming the Warrick rolling mill into a cold metal plant, the year-over-year change reflected a $9 million improvement, as strong productivity more than offset cost increases, volume declines in aerospace due to new model transition and in commercial transportation due to slower North America build rates, and overall pricing pressure in global can sheet packaging. This segment continues to grow its automotive business and had a record quarter for automotive sheet shipments, up 17 percent year-over-year.

Engineered Products and Solutions

In the second quarter, this segment reported record revenue of $1.5 billion and record ATOI of $180 million. Year-over-year, revenue was up 15 percent driven by the RTI acquisition. ATOI was up $15 million, or 9 percent, year-over-year as productivity improvements in all businesses and the positive contribution from the RTI acquisition were mostly offset by unfavorable price/mix, cost headwinds and investments in growth projects.

Transportation and Construction Solutions

This segment delivered ATOI of $46 million in the second quarter, up $2 million, or 5 percent, compared to second quarter 2015. This increase was primarily the result of strong productivity gains offset by cost increases and continued weakness in the heavy-duty truck market in North America.

Alumina

This segment generated ATOI of $109 million in the second quarter, an increase of $101 million from $8 million in the first quarter of 2016. This improvement was primarily driven by a 22 percent increase in the Alumina Price Index, the benefits of a more competitive portfolio and productivity actions, slightly offset by net unfavorable foreign currency movements due to a stronger Australian dollar and Brazilian real.

Primary Metals

ATOI in the second quarter was $41 million, a $27 million sequential improvement from $14 million in first quarter 2016. This improvement was primarily due to higher metal prices, productivity improvements, a favorable impact from the closure of the Warrick smelter and lower costs for carbon and alumina, partially offset by lower energy sales.

Separation Update

On June 29, 2016, Alcoa Upstream Corporation (to be renamed Alcoa Corporation prior to separation) filed an initial Registration Statement on Form 10 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The initial Form 10 filing is a major milestone in Alcoa’s pending separation into two strong standalone, publicly-traded companies. The Value-Add segments (other than the rolling mill operations in Warrick, IN and Saudi Arabia) will remain in the existing company, which will be named Arconic Inc. The separation is on track to be completed in the second half of 2016.

The separation remains subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining final approval from the Alcoa Board of Directors; receipt of a favorable IRS ruling and an opinion from Alcoa’s tax advisors regarding certain U.S. federal income tax matters; and the effectiveness of the Form 10.

Alcoa will hold its quarterly conference call at 5:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time on July 11, 2016 to present quarterly results. The meeting will be webcast via alcoa.com. Call information and related details are available at www.alcoa.com under “Invest.” Presentation materials used during this meeting will be available for viewing shortly after the market closes at 4:00 PM EDT on July 11, 2016 at www.alcoa.com.

(1)   In the first quarter of 2016, Alcoa adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board to the presentation of debt issuance costs, which require such costs to be classified as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the related debt liability on an entity’s balance sheet. As such, all debt issuance costs were classified as a contra liability in the Long-term debt, less amount due within one year line item on the June 30, 2016 Consolidated Balance Sheet. These changes are required to be applied on a retrospective basis; therefore, the December 31, 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheet was updated to conform to the June 30, 2016 presentation. As a result, $51 of debt issuance costs (previously reported in Other noncurrent assets) were reclassified to the Long-term debt, less amount due within one year line item on the December 31, 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The difference between certain segment totals and consolidated amounts is in Corporate.
 
(1)   Total segment ATOI is the summation of the respective ATOI of Alcoa’s five reportable segments, which represent the two components of the Company, an Upstream business and a Value-Add business. Upstream is composed of the Alumina and Primary Metals segments and Value-Add is composed of the Global Rolled Products, Engineered Products and Solutions, and Transportation and Construction Solutions segments. As such, in all periods presented, ATOI of the Upstream business is equivalent to the summation of the respective ATOI of the Alumina and Primary Metals segments, and, likewise, ATOI of the Value-Add business is equivalent to the summation of the respective ATOI of the Global Rolled Products, Engineered Products and Solutions, and Transportation and Construction Solutions segments.
 

 

On September 28, 2015, Alcoa announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to separate into two standalone, publicly-traded companies. One such company will be named Alcoa Corporation and will include Upstream. Additionally, the future Alcoa Corporation will include the Warrick, IN rolling operations and the equity interest in the rolling mill at the joint venture in Saudi Arabia, both of which are currently part of the Global Rolled Products segment of Alcoa Inc. The other such company will be named Arconic and will include Value-Add, except for the Warrick, IN rolling operations and the equity interest in the rolling mill at the joint venture in Saudi Arabia.

Net income attributable to Alcoa – as adjusted is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of Alcoa excluding the impacts of restructuring and other charges, discrete tax items, and other special items (collectively, “special items”). There can be no assurances that additional special items will not occur in future periods. To compensate for this limitation, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both Net income attributable to Alcoa determined under GAAP as well as Net income attributable to Alcoa – as adjusted.
 

(1)

  In the second quarter of 2016, management changed the manner in which special items are presented in Alcoa’s reconciliation of Adjusted Income. This change resulted in special items being presented on a pretax basis and the related tax and noncontrolling interests impacts on special items being aggregated into separate respective line items. The special items for all prior periods presented were updated to conform to the current period presentation.
 
(2) Discrete tax items include the following:

for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, a net benefit for a number of small items;

for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, a net charge for a number of small items; and

for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, a benefit for one item.

 
(3) Other special items include the following:

for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, a gain on the sale of land in the United States ($29), a favorable tax impact related to the interim period treatment of operational losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized ($21), costs associated with the then-planned acquisition of RTI International Metals ($6), a net unfavorable change in certain mark-to-market energy derivative contracts ($5), an unfavorable tax impact resulting from the difference between Alcoa’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory rates applicable to special items ($4), and a write-down of inventory related to the permanent closure of both a smelter in Brazil and a power station in Australia ($4);

for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, costs associated with the planned separation of Alcoa ($18), an unfavorable tax impact resulting from the difference between Alcoa’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory rates applicable to special items ($8), a write-down of inventory related to the permanent closure of a smelter in the United States ($3), and an unfavorable tax impact related to the interim period treatment of operational losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized ($2); and

for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, an unfavorable tax impact resulting from the difference between Alcoa’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory rates applicable to special items ($60), costs associated with the planned separation of Alcoa ($45), a gain on the sale of an equity investment in a natural gas pipeline in Australia ($27), a benefit for an arbitration recovery related to a 2010 fire at the Iceland smelter ($14), a favorable tax impact related to the interim period treatment of operational losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized ($11), a net unfavorable change in certain mark-to-market energy derivative contracts ($6), and a write-down of inventory related to two previously curtailed facilities ($3).

 
(4) The tax impact on special items is based on the applicable statutory rates whereby the difference between such rates and Alcoa’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate is itself a special item (see footnote 3 above). The noncontrolling interests impact on special items represents Alcoa’s partners’ share of certain special items.
 
(5) The average number of shares applicable to diluted EPS for Net income attributable to Alcoa common shareholders excludes certain share equivalents as their effect was anti-dilutive (see footnote 3 to the Statement of Consolidated Operations). However, certain of these share equivalents may become dilutive in the EPS calculation applicable to Net income attributable to Alcoa common shareholders – as adjusted due to a larger and/or positive numerator. Specifically:

for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, no additional share equivalents were dilutive based on Net income attributable to Alcoa common shareholders – as adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number of shares of 1,236,918,280;

for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, share equivalents associated with outstanding employee stock options and awards were dilutive based on Net income attributable to Alcoa common shareholders – as adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number of shares of 1,324,558,308; and

for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, no additional share equivalents were dilutive based on Net income attributable to Alcoa common shareholders – as adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number of shares of 1,356,158,542.

There can be no assurances that additional special items will not occur in future periods.

Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to Alcoa’s operating performance and the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations.

Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation, depletion, and amortization. The Other line in the table above includes gains/losses on asset sales and other nonoperating items. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to Alcoa’s operating performance and the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations. The Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Value-Add is composed of the Global Rolled Products, Engineered Products and Solutions, and Transportation and Construction Solutions segments. On September 28, 2015, Alcoa announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to separate into two standalone, publicly-traded companies. One such company will be named Arconic and will include Value-Add, except for the Warrick, IN rolling operations and the equity interest in the rolling mill at the joint venture in Saudi Arabia, both of which are currently part of the Global Rolled Products segment of Alcoa Inc. and will be included in the other company, Alcoa Corporation. See Segment Information for a reconciliation of Alcoa Inc.’s total segment ATOI, which includes the Value-Add ATOI presented in the table above, to its consolidated net income.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations after taking into consideration capital expenditures due to the fact that these expenditures are considered necessary to maintain and expand Alcoa’s asset base and are expected to generate future cash flows from operations. It is important to note that Free Cash Flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure.
