Alcoa (NYSE:AA) today reported strong operational performance in second
quarter 2013 offset by special items primarily for restructuring and a
legacy legal matter. As a result, Alcoa reported a net loss of $119
million, or $0.11 per share, in second quarter 2013, which includes $195
million of special items.

Excluding the impact of special items, net income was $76 million, or
$0.07 per share, driven by productivity gains across all business
segments and record performance in Engineered Products and Solutions. In
the first half of 2013, Alcoa’s value-add businesses accounted for 57
percent of total revenues and 80 percent of segment after-tax operating
income.

The Company reported solid second quarter 2013 revenue of $5.8 billion,
positive free cash flow, and lower debt as strong end-market demand
mitigated an 8 percent sequential decline in London Metal Exchange (LME)
cash price.

“Our businesses showed remarkable operating performance in the quarter
with solid free cash flow,” said Klaus Kleinfeld, Alcoa Chairman and
CEO. “In our value-add businesses we reached another milestone with
record profitability in our downstream business while acting decisively
to defy the headwinds of falling metal prices in our upstream
businesses. We improved our competitive position by actively
restructuring, curtailing, and closing facilities and made progress
addressing legacy legal issues.”

Second quarter 2013 net loss of $119 million, or $0.11 per share,
compares to net income of $149 million, or $0.13 per share, in first
quarter 2013, and a net loss of $2 million, or $0.00 per share, in
second quarter 2012.

Excluding special items, second quarter 2013 net income of $76 million,
or $0.07 per share, compares to $121 million, or $0.11 per share, in
first quarter 2013 and $61 million, or $0.06 per share, in second
quarter 2012. The $45 million sequential decline was largely due to
lower LME prices. Lower prices were partially offset by higher volumes,
particularly in the midstream business, productivity savings, and the
favorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

In second quarter 2013, Alcoa’s net loss included $42 million in charges
for the closing of the two Soderberg potlines at its Baie-Comeau smelter
in Québec, which is part of the 460,000 metric tons of smelting capacity
Alcoa has said is under review. The remaining previously announced
charges associated with the closure will be recognized in future
periods. In addition to the smelting capacity review, Alcoa also
announced its intention to permanently close its Fusina smelter in Italy
and recorded a $34 million charge. A $37 million charge was taken for
restructuring across all business segments, including asset retirements
of previously idled structures. Alcoa also recorded a charge of $62
million in connection with settlement negotiations related to the
government investigation of the Alba matter (see “Alba Update” below).

Continued Growth Across End Markets

Alcoa continues to project 7 percent global aluminum demand growth in
2013 and essentially balanced alumina and aluminum markets.

Alcoa projects global growth this year across the aerospace (9-10
percent), automotive (1-4 percent), commercial transportation (3-8
percent), packaging (1-2 percent), building and construction (4-5
percent), and industrial gas turbine (3-5 percent) end markets.

Strong Execution Against Strategic Goals

Alcoa made investments to capitalize on value-added growth opportunities
and took definitive actions in second quarter 2013 to improve its
position on the aluminum cost curve.

As previously announced, to serve growing demand for the Company’s third
generation aluminum-lithium alloys, Alcoa completed the expansion of
aluminum-lithium capacity at its Kitts Green facility in the United
Kingdom and also expanded capacity by 30 percent at the Alcoa Technical
Center outside Pittsburgh. Construction is progressing on the $90
million greenfield state-of-the-art aluminum-lithium alloy casting
facility in Lafayette, Indiana. It is scheduled to be completed and
online by the end of 2014. Alcoa projects its aluminum-lithium revenues
will quadruple over the next six years to nearly $200 million.

Alcoa announced a $275 million North American investment over the next
three years to expand and convert capacity at its Alcoa, TN rolling mill
to support the growing demand for aluminum sheet for automotive
production. Alcoa previously announced a $300 million expansion of its
Davenport, Iowa plant which is set to be completed by the end of this
year.

The Company announced the review of 460,000 metric tons of smelting
capacity for possible curtailment due to low metal prices and to
maintain cost competitiveness. The review equates to 11 percent of
Alcoa’s global smelting capacity. As part of that review, Alcoa
announced it would permanently close the two Soderberg potlines at its
Baie-Comeau smelter in Québec by the end of third quarter 2013. The two
lines are among Alcoa’s highest-cost smelting capacity and represent
105,000 metric tons of capacity per year. In addition to the review,
Alcoa announced its intent to permanently close its Fusina smelter in
Italy, representing 44,000 metric tons of smelting capacity. These two
closures will reduce the Company’s global smelting capacity to
approximately 4.1 million metric tons with 13 percent, or 523,000 metric
tons, of smelting capacity idled.

Strong Execution Against 2013 Financial Targets

Alcoa remains committed to being free cash flow positive in 2013. In
second quarter 2013, the Company generated $228 million in free cash
flow by successfully executing against its annual financial and
operational targets to maximize profitability and generate cash. Days
working capital, which ultimately equates to cash, was a second quarter
record low of 27 days, 6 days lower than second quarter 2012. This
milestone was the 15th successive year-over-year improvement
and equates to approximately $400 million in cash.

In the first half of 2013, Alcoa achieved $539 million in productivity
savings across all business segments against a $750 million annual
target; managed growth capital expenditures of $203 million against a
$550 million annual plan and controlled sustaining capital expenditures
of $318 million against a $1.0 billion annual plan. Progress and
expenditures on the Saudi Arabia joint venture project were on track
with $75 million year-to-date invested against a $350 million annual
plan; and Alcoa’s debt-to-capital ratio stood at 34.5 percent, 20 basis
points lower than first quarter 2013 and 160 basis points lower than
second quarter 2012. Net debt-to-capital stood at 31.1 percent.

Alcoa ended the quarter with cash on hand of $1.2 billion and reduced
debt by $566 million from first quarter 2013.

Segment Performance

Engineered Products and Solutions

After-tax operating income (ATOI) in the second quarter was $193
million, up from $173 million in first quarter 2013, a 12 percent
improvement, and up 23 percent from $157 million in the second quarter
of 2012. Sequentially, favorable productivity and higher volumes across
all market segments drove the improvement. Innovation continues to drive
share gains across all markets. This segment reported a record quarterly
adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.2 percent, compared to 20.9 percent and
19.2 percent, respectively, for first quarter 2013 and the same quarter
last year.

Global Rolled Products

ATOI in the second quarter was $79 million compared to $81 million in
first quarter 2013 and $78 million in second quarter 2012. Sequentially,
lower metal prices were largely offset by strong demand from the
aerospace, automotive, and packaging businesses. Adjusted EBITDA per
metric ton decreased to $322 from $385 in first quarter 2013. This
segment reported its best second quarter ever in days working capital,
which improved by 7 days compared with second quarter 2012.

Alumina

ATOI in the second quarter was $64 million up from $58 million in first
quarter 2013, and up from $23 million in second quarter 2012.
Sequentially, the increase was driven by relatively higher Alumina Price
Index-based pricing, a favorable impact from foreign exchange rates, and
strong productivity savings, partially offset by lower LME prices.
Strong performance across the business also offset increased costs in
mining due to the Myara crusher move in Australia and an increase in
bauxite costs in Suriname. Adjusted EBITDA per metric ton was $47 up
from $44 in first quarter 2013 and up from $31 in second quarter 2012.
This segment reported its best ever days working capital in second
quarter 2013. It improved by 12 days compared with second quarter 2012.

Primary Metals

ATOI in the second quarter was a negative $32 million compared to
positive ATOI of $39 million in first quarter 2013 and negative ATOI of
$3 million in second quarter 2012. The sequential decline was driven by
lower LME prices and higher costs, including the previously announced
maintenance costs tied to power plant outages in Australia and the U.S.,
partially offset by favorable mix, productivity gains, and a favorable
impact from foreign exchange rates. Third-party realized price in the
second quarter was $2,237 per metric ton, down 7 percent sequentially
and 4 percent lower than second quarter 2012. Adjusted EBITDA per metric
ton decreased to $88 from $205 in first quarter 2013.

Alba Update

As previously disclosed, over five years ago, the Department of Justice
(“DOJ”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) commenced
investigations of alleged corrupt payments in connection with contracts
for the sale of alumina to Alba. In the past year Alcoa has been seeking
settlements of both investigations. During the second quarter of 2013,
Alcoa proposed to settle the DOJ matter by offering a cash payment of
$103 million and has recorded a charge of $103 million ($62 million
after non-controlling interest). There is currently the potential of an
additional possible charge of up to approximately $200 million to settle
the DOJ matter. Settlement negotiations are continuing. Based on
negotiations to date, Alcoa expects any such settlement will be paid
over several years. Alcoa has also exchanged settlement offers with the
SEC. However, the SEC staff has rejected Alcoa’s most recent offer of
$60 million and no charge has been recorded. Alcoa expects that any
resolution through settlement with the SEC would be material to results
of operations for the relevant fiscal period.

Although Alcoa seeks to resolve the Alba matter with the DOJ and the SEC
through settlements, there can be no assurance that settlements will be
reached. If settlements cannot be reached, Alcoa will proceed to trial.
Under those circumstances, the final outcome cannot be predicted and
there can be no assurance that it would not have a material adverse
effect on Alcoa. If settlements with both the DOJ and the SEC are
reached, based on an agreement between Alcoa and Alumina Limited,
Alcoa’s $62 million after non-controlling interest share of the second
quarter $103 million charge recorded with respect to the DOJ matter
would be approximately $25 million higher.

Alcoa will hold its quarterly conference call at 5:00 PM Eastern Time
on July 8, 2013 to present quarterly results. The meeting will be
webcast via alcoa.com. Call information and related details are

On January 1, 2013, management revised the inventory-costing
method used by certain locations within the Global Rolled Products
and Engineered Products and Solutions segments, which affects the
determination of the respective segment’s profitability measure,
ATOI. Management made the change in order to improve internal
consistency and enhance industry comparability. This revision does
not impact the consolidated results of Alcoa. Segment information
for all prior periods presented was revised to reflect this change.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin 8.7 % 11.8 % 10.5 %
 

Alcoa’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for
depreciation, depletion, 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, 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. The Adjusted
EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of
other companies.

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.

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 (loss) income attributable
to Alcoa determined under GAAP as well as Net income attributable to
Alcoa – as adjusted.

* Discrete tax items include the following:

  • for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, a charge related to prior year
    taxes in Spain and Australia ($10), a benefit for a tax rate change in
    Jamaica ($2), and a net charge for other miscellaneous items ($3);
  • for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, a benefit related to the
    reinstatement under the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 of two
    tax provisions that will be applied in 2013 to Alcoa’s U.S. income tax
    return for calendar year 2012 ($19); and
  • for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, a charge related to prior year
    U.S. taxes on certain depletable assets ($8) and a net charge for
    other miscellaneous items ($2).

** Other special items include the following:

  • for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, a net unfavorable change in
    certain mark-to-market energy derivative contracts ($9) and the write
    off of inventory related to the permanent closure of two potlines at a
    smelter in Canada and a smelter in Italy;
  • for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, a net favorable change in
    certain mark-to-market energy derivative contracts ($9) and a net
    insurance recovery related to the March 2012 cast house fire at the
    Massena, NY location ($5); and
  • for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, a litigation reserve ($18),
    uninsured losses related to fire damage to the cast house at the
    Massena, NY location ($12), and a net increase in the environmental
    reserve related to the Grasse River remediation in Massena, NY and
    remediation at two former locations, East St. Louis, IL and Sherwin,
    TX ($13).

a recurring basis. Alcoa is adding back this receivable for the
purposes of the Days Working Capital calculation.
