Lightweight metals technology, engineering and manufacturing leader
Alcoa (NYSE:AA) today announced that profits surged in the second
quarter as the Company’s portfolio transformation continues
accelerating. Alcoa is aggressively transforming its portfolio by
building out its value-add businesses to capture profitable growth and
by creating a lower cost, very competitive commodity business.

In second quarter 2014, Alcoa reported net income of $138 million, or
$0.12 per share, which includes $78 million in special items largely
tied to a previously announced restructuring aimed at reducing the cost
base of the commodity business.

Excluding the impact of special items, net income was $216 million, or
$0.18 per share, more than double sequentially and nearly triple
year-over-year.

“Our second quarter results prove Alcoa’s transformation is in high
gear,” said Klaus Kleinfeld, Alcoa Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“We are taking the downstream business to new profitability heights,
capturing midstream demand as auto lightweighting accelerates, while
continuing to relentlessly improve upstream performance. Our strategy of
building a lightweight multi-material innovation powerhouse and a highly
competitive commodities business is driving compelling and sustainable
shareholder value.”

Second quarter 2014 revenues climbed sequentially to $5.8 billion and
held steady from the same period last year. The sequential improvement
resulted from stronger volumes in the mid and downstream, improved metal
pricing, and higher energy sales.

All of Alcoa’s business segments were profitable during the quarter.
Engineered Products and Solutions (EPS), the downstream business,
achieved its best ever results, delivering $204 million in after-tax
operating income (ATOI). The midstream business, Global Rolled Products
(GRP), continued to capture increasing demand for automotive sheet. The
upstream business, comprising Alumina and Primary Metals, improved
performance for the 11th consecutive quarter. Primary Metals’
results reflect a more competitive business, the positive impact of
energy sales, and higher regional premiums due to robust aluminum demand.

Sequentially, second quarter 2014 results compare to a net loss of $178
million, or $0.16 per share, in first quarter 2014. Excluding special
items, second quarter 2014 results compare to net income of $98 million,
or $0.09 per share, in the sequential period.

Year-over-year, second quarter 2014 results compare to a net loss of
$119 million, or $0.11 per share, in second quarter 2013. Excluding
special items, second quarter 2014 results compare to net income of $76
million, or $0.07 per share, in the year-ago period.

Special items in second quarter 2014 included the previously announced
restructuring associated with the closure of the Point Henry smelter in
Australia and the Australian rolling mills. There were also costs
associated with the Firth Rixson acquisition agreement and the recently
completed U.S. labor contract negotiations.

Continued Growth Across End Markets

Alcoa continues to project 2014 global aerospace growth of 8 to 9
percent driven by robust demand for both large commercial aircraft and
regional jets. The Company’s projected 2014 automotive growth of 1 to 4
percent, packaging growth of 2 to 3 percent, and building and
construction growth of 4 to 6 percent, remain unchanged. In the
industrial gas turbine market, the Company’s projected decline of 8 to
12 percent, on lower orders for new gas turbines and spare parts, also
remains unchanged.

Alcoa increased its 2014 estimate for the North America commercial
transportation market to a range of 10 to 14 percent, from a previous
range of 5 to 9 percent in the first quarter. The higher estimate is
based in part on rising truck orders and backlogs. Globally, Alcoa
continues to expect a steady commercial transportation market in 2014 of
-1 to 3 percent due to weakness in the European market.

Additionally, Alcoa reaffirmed its 7 percent global aluminum demand
growth projection for 2014.

For 2014, the Company sees a global aluminum deficit of 930,000 metric
tons, an increase from a deficit of 730,000 metric tons estimated in the
first quarter. Alcoa also sees a tightening of the alumina market with a
surplus declining from 2,257,000 metric tons in the first quarter to
824,000 metric tons in second quarter 2014.

Value-Add Portfolio Transformation

Alcoa’s strategy to build out its value-add businesses took a major step
forward in the second quarter with the signing of a definitive agreement
to acquire Firth Rixson, a global leader in aerospace jet engine
components. The $2.85 billion cash and stock acquisition will further
strengthen Alcoa’s robust aerospace portfolio, positioning the Company
to capture additional aerospace growth with a broader range of
multi-material, value-add jet engine components.

Firth Rixson’s revenues are expected to grow 60 percent over the next
three years, from $1 billion in 2013 to $1.6 billion, and contribute
$350 million EBITDA in 2016. Firth Rixson’s sales are expected to grow
12 percent annually through 2019, a rate more than double the expanding
global aerospace market. Approximately 70 percent of Firth Rixson’s
revenue growth is secured by long-term agreements.

In the second quarter, Alcoa also announced two organic investments in
its Power and Propulsion (APP) business in the EPS segment totaling $125
million to meet increasing demand for next-generation jet engine
components. In La Porte, Indiana, Alcoa is investing $100 million to
build a new state-of-the-art 320,000-square-foot facility. It will
expand Alcoa’s reach in structural engine components for military,
business and regional jets to large commercial aircraft, including
narrow-and wide-body airplanes. In Hampton, Virginia, Alcoa is
scaling-up technology at an existing plant to cut the weight of its
highest-volume jet engine blades by 20 percent. The lighter blade will
enhance aerodynamic performance for increased fuel efficiency. Both
expansions are expected to be complete by fourth quarter 2015 and will
contribute towards APP’s expected $2.2 billion revenues in 2016.

In Alcoa’s GRP segment, the automotive expansion in Davenport, Iowa, is
complete and will continue to ramp up production in the third quarter to
serve growing demand for aluminum intensive vehicles. Alcoa’s second
automotive expansion in Tennessee is on schedule for completion in mid
2015. The amount of aluminum body sheet content in North American
vehicles is expected to quadruple by 2015 and increase tenfold by 2025
from 2012 levels. In addition, the rolling mill at the Ma’aden-Alcoa
joint venture in Saudi Arabia produced its first production-grade coil
on schedule.

Upstream Portfolio Transformation

The Company continues to execute previously announced portfolio actions
to lower the cost base of its commodity business and take further
decisive action to optimize its portfolio.

In the second quarter, Alcoa completed the curtailment of 147,000 metric
tons of smelting capacity in Brazil at São Luís (Alumar) and Poços de
Caldas. In August, Alcoa will permanently close the 190,000 metric ton
Point Henry aluminum smelter in Australia.

The Saudi Arabia joint venture is also integral to the Company’s
strategy of increasing the cost competitiveness of its commodity
portfolio. In the second quarter, the start up of the Saudi Arabia
smelter, the lowest cost aluminum production facility in the world, was
completed.

To further optimize the Alumina business, Alcoa signed a non-binding
letter of intent to pursue a sale of its ownership stake in Alcoa
Minerals of Jamaica, L.L.C. (AMJ), which operates the Jamalco bauxite
mining and alumina refining joint venture. Jamalco is owned jointly by
AMJ (55%) and Clarendon Alumina Production Ltd. (45%). AMJ is part of
the Alcoa World Alumina & Chemicals (AWAC) group of companies and is
owned 60% by Alcoa and 40% by Alumina Ltd. Clarendon Alumina Production
Ltd. is a company wholly owned by the Government of Jamaica.

The above actions are consistent with the Company’s goal of lowering its
position on the world aluminum production cost curve to the 38th
percentile and the alumina cost curve to the 21st percentile,
by 2016.

Financial Performance

Alcoa continues to drive strong performance across all businesses,
delivering $302 million in second quarter productivity gains across all
segments and $556 million in year-over-year productivity gains in the
first half of 2014 against an $850 million annual target. Productivity
gains have been driven by process improvements and procurement savings
across all businesses. Alcoa managed growth capital expenditures of $206
million against a $500 million annual target and controlled sustaining
capital expenditures of $261 million against a $750 million annual plan.
Contributions in the Saudi Arabia joint venture project were on track at
$64 million invested against a $125 million annual plan.

Free cash flow for the quarter was $260 million, with cash from
operations generating $518 million. Alcoa ended the quarter with cash on
hand of $1.2 billion, up from $665 million in first quarter 2014.

The Company reported an average of 33 days working capital for the
quarter, up 4 days from second quarter 2013. The increase was primarily
due to inventory build to support automotive growth and third quarter
2014 sales expectations, as well as to fulfill stocking requirements for
both the recently-completed labor negotiations and curtailments.
Sequentially, average days working capital was 3 days higher primarily
due to longer customer terms and inventory build to support the
automotive growth.

Alcoa’s net debt decreased sequentially from $7.1 billion to $6.9
billion in second quarter 2014, the lowest since 2007. Alcoa’s debt
totaled $8.1 billion. The Company’s debt-to-capital ratio stood at 35.4
percent, while net debt-to-capital ratio stood at 31.8 percent.

Segment Performance

Engineered Products and Solutions

ATOI was a quarterly record of $204 million, up $15 million, or 8
percent, sequentially and up $11 million, or 6 percent, year-over-year.
Sequentially, higher volumes across all businesses and favorable
productivity drove the improvement. This segment reported a record
adjusted EBITDA margin of 23.1 percent, compared to 22.2 percent for
both first quarter 2014 and the same quarter last year.

Global Rolled Products

ATOI in the second quarter was $79 million compared to $59 million in
first quarter 2014, a 34 percent improvement, and $79 million in second
quarter 2013. Sequentially, the improvement in ATOI was driven by higher
seasonal demand for can sheet and strengthening orders for brazing
sheet, industrial and commercial transportation products due to
recovering economies in Europe and the United States, as well as the
absence of a first quarter charge related to the planned permanent
shutdown of the Australia rolling operations. This segment also
continues to capture automotive demand. These favorable impacts were
partially offset by costs associated with recently completed U.S. labor
contract negotiations.

Alumina

ATOI in the second quarter was $38 million, down $54 million
sequentially, and down $26 million year-over-year. The decline in
sequential ATOI was primarily due to the first quarter benefit from the
sale of Alcoa’s Suriname gold mine interest, unfavorable foreign
exchange rates, lower Alumina Price Index (API) pricing, and additional
costs due to outages and maintenance. Adjusted EBITDA per metric ton
fell $10 from first quarter 2014 to $39 per metric ton in second quarter
2014.

Primary Metals

ATOI in the second quarter was $97 million, up $112 million sequentially
from negative $15 million, and up $129 million from negative $32 million
in second quarter 2013. Third-party realized price in second quarter
2014 was $2,291 per metric ton, up 4 percent sequentially, and up 2
percent year-over-year. Sequential results were driven by higher London
Metal Exchange (LME) pricing and regional premiums, increased power
sales, and the absence of special charges recorded in the first quarter.
Results were partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange rates.
Adjusted EBITDA per metric ton was $337, $187 per metric ton higher than
first quarter 2014.

Alcoa will hold its quarterly conference call at 5:00 PM Eastern
Daylight Time on July 8, 2014 to present quarterly results. The meeting
will be webcast via alcoa.com. Call information and related details are

Sales $ 5,849 $ 5,454 $ 5,836
 
Adjusted EBITDA Margin 10.5 % 12.3 % 13.3 %
 

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, 2014, a net benefit for a number of
    small items;
  • for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, a net benefit for a number of
    small items; and
  • 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).

** Other special items include the following:

  • for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, a favorable tax impact related to
    the interim period treatment of operational losses in certain foreign
    jurisdictions for which no tax benefit is recognized ($20), an
    unfavorable tax impact resulting from the difference between Alcoa’s
    consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory
    rates applicable to restructuring and other charges ($24), costs
    associated with (i) a planned acquisition of an aerospace business
    ($11) and (ii) a potential strike and successful execution of a new
    labor agreement with the United Steelworkers ($11), a net favorable
    change in certain mark-to-market energy derivative contracts ($6), and
    an unfavorable impact related to the restart of one potline at the
    joint venture in Saudi Arabia that was previously shut down due to a
    period of pot instability ($6);
  • for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, a favorable tax impact resulting
    from the difference between Alcoa’s consolidated estimated annual
    effective tax rate and the statutory rates applied to restructuring
    and other charges ($72) (impact is expected to reverse by the end of
    2014), an unfavorable tax impact related to the interim period
    treatment of operational losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for
    which no tax benefit was recognized ($56) (impact is expected to
    reverse by the end of 2014), the write-off of inventory related to the
    permanent closure of a smelter and two rolling mills in Australia and
    a smelter in the United States ($20), an unfavorable impact related to
    the restart of one potline at the joint venture in Saudi Arabia that
    was previously shut down due to a period of pot instability ($13), a
    gain on the sale of a mining interest in Suriname ($11), and a loss on
    the writedown of an asset to fair value ($2); and
  • 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 ($5).

Days Working Capital = Working Capital divided by (Sales/number of days

*

 

The deferred purchase price receivable relates to an arrangement
to sell certain customer receivables to several financial
institutions on a recurring basis. Alcoa is adding back this
receivable for the purposes of the Days Working Capital
calculation.

 

**

Beginning January 1, 2014, management changed the manner in which
Working Capital is measured by moving from an end of quarter
Working Capital to an average quarter Working Capital. This change
will now reflect the capital tied up during a given quarter. As
such, the components of Working Capital for each period presented
represent the average of the ending balances in each of the three
months during the respective quarter.

Alcoa’s leverage position after factoring in available cash that could
be used to repay outstanding debt.
