Arconic Announces Divestiture of its Fusina, Italy Rolling Mill

April 6, 2017

Arconic Inc. (NYSE: ARNC) today announced the divestiture of its Fusina,
Italy rolling mill to Slim Aluminium. The transaction follows a thorough
review process and is part of Arconic Global Rolled Products’ (GRP)
continued drive to convert the business from a commodity producer to a
high-margin aerospace and automotive supplier.

Arconic expects to record restructuring-related charges representing the
loss on sale of approximately $60 million after tax, or $0.12 per
diluted share, in its Statement of Consolidated Operations for the first
quarter of 2017. The charges primarily relate to the non-cash impairment
of the net book value of the business as well as the injection of $10
million in cash into the business prior to its sale.

GRP has increased its adjusted EBITDA margin by 890 basis points – from
3 percent in 2008 to 11.9 percent in 2016 – through portfolio
optimization, manufacturing excellence and commercializing innovations.

Arconic’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an
add-back for depreciation and amortization. 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 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 Arconic’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.
(1)   Excludes the Warrick, IN rolling operations and the equity interest
in the rolling mill at the joint venture in Saudi Arabia, both of
which were previously part of the Global Rolled Products segment but
became part of Alcoa Corporation effective November 1, 2016.
