NEW YORK–Alcoa (NYSE: AA) today announced it generated cash from operations in
the second quarter of 2009 of $328 million, a $599 million improvement
from the first quarter. This improvement was driven by the Company’s
wide-ranging financial and operational initiatives to reduce costs,
increase cash, and strengthen its balance sheet.

The second quarter of 2009 showed a loss from continuing operations of
$312 million, or $0.32 per share. Excluding restructuring charges, the
loss was $256 million, or $0.26 per share. The loss from continuing
operations showed a $168 million improvement in the second quarter of
2009 compared with the first quarter loss from continuing operations of
$480 million, or $0.59 per share. Earnings from continuing operations in
the second quarter of 2008 were $553 million, or $0.67 per share.

Revenues for the quarter were $4.2 billion, a two percent increase from
the first quarter of 2009, but a decrease from the $7.2 billion in the
second quarter of 2008, as a result of the impact of lower metal prices
and the Company’s curtailment of aluminum and alumina production in
response to reduced demand. The average price of aluminum on the London
Metal Exchange in the second quarter of 2009 was $1,485 per metric ton
(mt), a nine percent increase from the first quarter of 2009, but a 49
percent decrease from the second quarter of 2008. The economic downturn
has affected most of Alcoa’s end markets – automotive, commercial
transportation, building and construction, and aerospace.

“Our cash generation initiatives, productivity improvements, and
portfolio changes are working. Now Alcoa has the staying power and
reduced cost base to withstand the most serious downturn in the history
of the aluminum industry,” said Klaus Kleinfeld, Alcoa President and
Chief Executive Officer. “Our operational and financial initiatives also
provide Alcoa with the focus and flexibility to compete and grow in the
most profitable segments of the industry as the economy recovers.”

The Company has achieved approximately $1.0 billion in procurement
savings through the first half of the year, or approximately two-thirds
of the full year target. Overhead savings year-to-date are approximately
$270 million, or 134 percent of the full year target for 2009. And,
rigorous management of working capital has generated $680 million in
cash, or 85 percent of the 2009 target of $800 million.

Capital expenditures in the quarter were $418 million and are on target
to reach the 2009 goal of a nearly 50 percent reduction from 2008; the
capital plan for 2010 calls for a further 50 percent reduction to $850
million. The Juruti bauxite mine in Brazil and the Alumar alumina
refining upgrade and expansion are both in the process of being
commissioned. First shipment of bauxite from Juruti is expected to occur
within the next ninety days. The Alumar refinery has already begun to
produce its first alumina and is on target for ramp-up to full
production during the second half of the year. The upgrade and expansion
project will increase the output of the refinery from approximately 1.5
million mt to a total production capacity of 3.5 million mt per year for
the Alumar consortium.

The Company’s debt-to-capital ratio stood at 39.8 percent at the end of
the quarter, an 80 basis point reduction from the first quarter of 2009.
Free cash flow in the quarter was a negative $90 million, but was a $652
million improvement from the first quarter of 2009. As the Company
continues to implement its cash generation programs, it finished the
quarter with $851 million of cash on hand.

Discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2009 had a loss of
$142 million, or $0.15 per share, primarily reflecting the impact of
exiting the electrical and electronics solutions business, which was
completed in June. The first quarter of 2009 had a loss of $17 million,
or $0.02 per share.

The second quarter of 2009 had a net loss of $454 million, or $0.47 per
share, compared with a net loss for the first quarter of 2009 of $497
million, or $0.61 per share. Net income in the second quarter of 2008
was $546 million, or $0.66 per share.

Revenues for the first half of 2009 were $8.4 billion, compared to $14.2
billion in the first half of 2008. For the first half of 2009, income
from continuing operations showed a loss of $792 million, or $0.89 per
share, compared with income of $852 million, or $1.03 per share, in the
first half of 2008. The first half of 2009 showed a net loss of $951
million, or $1.06 per share, compared to net income of $849 million, or
$1.03 per share, in the first half of 2008.

Segment Results

Alumina

After-tax operating income (ATOI) was a loss of $7 million, a decrease
of $42 million from the prior quarter. Production declined 136 thousand
mt, or four percent sequentially, mainly due to curtailments at Point
Comfort and Suriname. Unfavorable currency and lower LME-based pricing
was partially offset by productivity gains.

Primary Metals

ATOI was a loss of $178 million, an improvement of $34 million from the
prior quarter, which included a non-cash gain related to the Orkla ASA
exchange of $112 million. Realized pricing increased six percent, or
$100 per mt sequentially. Benefits from productivity gains more than
offset the impact of unfavorable currency. Production increased by 26
thousand mt in the quarter due to record production in Iceland as well
as the addition of the Norway smelters, which more than offset the
effects of the Tennessee and Massena East curtailments.

Flat-Rolled Products

ATOI was a loss of $35 million, an improvement of $26 million from the
prior quarter. Revenues declined five percent sequentially driven by
significant volume declines in all end markets except automotive and
packaging. Benefits from productivity gains more than offset the impacts
of unfavorable currency and volume declines in all other markets.

Engineered Products and Solutions

ATOI was $88 million, a decrease of $7 million or seven percent from the
prior quarter. Weakening conditions in the aerospace and building and
construction markets were partially offset by productivity gains.
Revenues declined six percent from the prior quarter due to weak end
markets. This segment was expanded to include the hard alloy extrusions
business which had previously been included in the Flat-Rolled Products
segment.

Alcoa will hold its quarterly conference call at 5:00 PM Eastern Time on
July 8, 2009 to present the quarter’s results. The meeting will be
webcast via alcoa.com. Call information and related details are
available at www.alcoa.com

The difference between certain segment totals and consolidated
amounts is in Corporate.
 
(1)   In the second quarter of 2009, management approved the movement of
Alcoa’s hard alloy extrusions business from the Flat-Rolled Products
segment to the Engineered Products and Solutions segment. This move
was made to capture market, customer, and manufacturer synergies
through the combination of the hard alloy extrusions business with
the power and propulsion forgings business. Prior period amounts
were reclassified to reflect this change.
 
(2) Prior period segment information for Engineered Products and
Solutions was reclassified to reflect the movement of the Electrical
and Electronic Solutions business to discontinued operations in the
fourth quarter of 2008.
 
(3) On February 29, 2008, Alcoa completed the sale of its packaging and
consumer businesses to Rank Group Limited. The Packaging and
Consumer segment no longer contains any operations.
 
(4) On January 1, 2009, Alcoa adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51,” the provisions
of which, among others, requires that minority interests be renamed
noncontrolling interests for all periods presented.

Loss from continuing operations 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. There can be no assurances that
additional restructuring and other charges will not occur in
future periods. To compensate for this limitation, management
believes that it is appropriate to consider both Loss from
continuing operations attributable to Alcoa determined under GAAP
as well as Loss from continuing operations attributable to Alcoa –
as adjusted.

Change

 
Cash from operations $ (271 ) $ 328 $ 599
 
Total capital expenditures   (471 )   (418 )   53
 
 
Free cash flow $ (742 ) $ (90 ) $ 652
  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.
