Lightweight metals leader Alcoa (NYSE:AA) today reported solid second
quarter 2015 results as the Company’s transformation showed strong
progress. Profitability from Alcoa’s growing aerospace and automotive
businesses increased year-over-year as mid and downstream investments
delivered positive impact. In the upstream, the Primary Metals business
was resilient in the face of market headwinds and the Alumina business
delivered its strongest first half results in eight years. The Company’s
portfolio reshaping is driving results.

Alcoa reported second quarter 2015 net income of $140 million, or $0.10
per share, including $143 million in restructuring-related charges,
primarily to optimize the Company’s upstream portfolio. Year-over-year,
second quarter 2015 results compare to net income of $138 million, or
$0.12 per share, in second quarter 2014.

Excluding special items, second quarter 2015 net income grew to $250
million, or $0.19 per share, up 16 percent from $216 million, or $0.18
per share, in the year-ago period. Profitability increased even as the
Midwest transaction price declined $527 per metric ton, or 22 percent,
year-to-date through June 30, demonstrating the benefit of a reshaped
portfolio.

Second quarter 2015 revenue rose to $5.9 billion, from $5.8 billion in
second quarter 2014, up 1 percent year-over-year. Organic growth in
aerospace, automotive and alumina, combined with acquisitions, grew
second quarter revenue by 12.7 percent. This profitable growth more than
offset an 11.7 percent decline in revenue caused by closing and
divesting lower-margin businesses and market headwinds. This revenue
shift reflects how the Company’s transformation is driving the portfolio
to higher profitability.

“We continue to transform Alcoa; our portfolio reshaping combined with
smart investments in growth markets is delivering strong results,” said
Klaus Kleinfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our value-add
businesses are outperforming, with record profitability in the
downstream and exciting profitable growth in the midstream. Recent
acquisitions are fully on track, and paired with our innovations we are
cementing Alcoa’s position as a premier aerospace and automotive
partner. In the upstream, our Alumina business delivered its best first
half since 2007 and our lower cost metals business showed resilience in
the face of strong market headwinds. Productivity and cash generation
were excellent.”

End Market Growth Remains Steady

Alcoa continues to project steady growth in 2015 across the majority of
its end markets.

In the aerospace sector, the Company expects global sales growth of 8 to
9 percent in 2015. The 2015 forecast shifted one point on a slower ramp
up primarily in the A350 and Bombardier C Series, and future estimated
growth rates have been revised upward. Projections for 2016 and 2017
aerospace sales growth have nearly doubled to 8 and 13 percent, from 4
to 5 percent and 6 percent, respectively, showing the ongoing strength
of the sector.

Alcoa sees increasing orders in the North American heavy duty truck and
trailer market, and projects 9 to 11 percent growth for 2015, up from
the previous forecast of 6 to 8 percent growth. In the global heavy duty
truck and trailer market, the Company is lowering its projection for the
year to a decline of 4 to 6 percent, from a decline of 2 to 4 percent,
on slower economic growth in Brazil and China.

In the automotive, building and construction, industrial gas turbine,
and packaging end markets, the Company’s global forecasts remain
unchanged. Alcoa estimates a global automotive production increase of 2
to 4 percent for the year, with a 1 to 4 percent rise in North America;
5 to 7 percent global sales growth in the commercial building and
construction market; 1 to 3 percent global airfoil market growth in the
industrial gas turbine market; and a 2 to 3 percent global sales
increase in the packaging market.

Alcoa continues to project robust global aluminum demand growth of 6.5
percent in 2015.

Value-Add Portfolio Transformation

Alcoa’s strategy to build its innovative value-add portfolio, both
organically and inorganically, remained on course in the second quarter.

Alcoa continued to successfully integrate jet engine component makers
Firth Rixson and TITAL. The acquisitions further strengthened the
Company’s position as a premier aerospace leader and contributed to 29
percent higher aerospace revenue in Engineered Products and Solutions in
the second quarter. Firth Rixson doubles Alcoa’s average revenue content
on key jet engine programs and TITAL expands the Company’s titanium and
aluminum structural castings for aerospace in Europe. As a result of
these acquisitions, Alcoa can build more than 90 percent of all the
structural and rotating components of a jet engine.

Firth Rixson generated $42 million in second quarter adjusted EBITDA up
from $27 million in the first quarter by successfully capturing
synergies. Firth Rixson is on track to increase Alcoa’s revenue by $1.6
billion with an additional $350 million EBITDA in 2016. TITAL’s titanium
revenues are expected to increase by 70 percent over the next five years
from approximately $100 million in 2014 and approximately 70 percent of
TITAL’s revenues are expected to come from commercial aerospace sales in
2019.

The Company’s plan to acquire RTI International Metals also progressed
as planned. U.S. and European regulatory approvals were obtained in the
second quarter and RTI shareholders are scheduled to vote on the merger
on July 21.

Upon shareholder approval and close, RTI will broaden Alcoa’s
multi-material product suite to meet growing aerospace demand for
titanium. With RTI, Alcoa’s 2014 pro forma aerospace revenue increases
by 13 percent to $5.6 billion. Alcoa expects RTI to contribute $1.2
billion in revenue in 2019, up from $794 million that RTI generated in
2014. Its profitability is expected to reach 25 percent EBITDA margin in
2019.

In the second quarter, Alcoa also announced an investment in aerospace
technology at its Whitehall, Michigan facility in the United States. The
$22 million investment in Hot Isostatic Pressing technology will enable
Alcoa to capture growing demand for advanced titanium, nickel and
3D-printed parts for the world’s bestselling jet engines.

In the midstream, Alcoa’s MicromillTM material continued to
gain commercial traction. The Company has qualification agreements in
place with eight major automotive customers from three continents.
Automotive parts made with Alcoa Micromill® material will be
twice as formable and 30 percent lighter than parts made from
high-strength steel. Alcoa Micromill also reduces the time to transform
molten metal into an aluminum coil from 20 days to 20 minutes.

The Company’s automotive expansion in Davenport, Iowa shipped record
volume of automotive sheet to meet growing customer demand, increasing
automotive sheet revenue approximately 180 percent year-over-year.
Alcoa’s automotive expansion in Tennessee is on schedule with customer
qualifications already taking place.

Upstream Portfolio Transformation

In the upstream, Alcoa continues to take steps to lower its cost base
and improve profitability.

In the Alumina segment, Alcoa of Australia Limited made the first of two
prepayments on the previously announced 12-year gas supply agreement for
its alumina refineries in Western Australia (WA), which begins in 2020.
A $300 million payment was made in the second quarter and a payment of
$200 million will be made in January 2016. The contract replaces
existing long-term contracts, which expire at the end of the decade, and
supports the refineries’ ongoing competitiveness.

Also in Australia, the Company announced plans to permanently close its
Anglesea coal mine and power station by August 31. The Anglesea
power station had previously supplied approximately 40 percent of the
power needs for the Point Henry smelter in Geelong, Victoria, which was
closed in 2014.

In addition, Alcoa continued to close and curtail upstream facilities as
part of its ongoing review of 500,000 metric tons of smelting capacity
and 2.8 million metric tons of alumina capacity. On April 30 in
Suriname, Alcoa curtailed 443,000 metric tons of alumina refining
capacity at Suralco. The Company also continued to pursue a transaction
to sell the Suralco operations to a Suriname government-owned entity.

In Primary Metals, Alcoa curtailed the remaining 74,000 metric tons of
primary aluminum smelting capacity at its São Luís, Brazil facility on
April 15. Also in Brazil, the Company permanently closed its Poços de
Caldas primary aluminum smelter on June 30, which had been curtailed
since May 2014. By permanently closing the Poços smelter, Alcoa’s total
global smelting capacity was reduced by 96,000 metric tons, to 3.4
million metric tons. The Poços bauxite mine, alumina refinery, aluminum
powder plant and aluminum casthouse will continue normal operations.

In Saudi Arabia, the Ma’aden-Alcoa joint venture mine neared completion
while the refinery continued its ramp up and is on track to produce 1.1
million metric tons of alumina in 2015. The smelter is on target to
reach nameplate production of 740,000 metric tons of primary aluminum
this year.

All of the above actions support Alcoa’s goal of lowering its position
on the global aluminum cost curve to the 38th percentile and
the global alumina cost curve to the 21st percentile by 2016.

Financial Performance

In the second quarter, Alcoa achieved $324 million in year-over-year
productivity gains and $562 million through the first half of 2015
against a $900 million annual target, driven by process improvements and
procurement savings across all segments. Through the first half of the
year, Alcoa managed return-seeking capital of $283 million against a
$750 million annual target and controlled sustaining capital
expenditures of $240 million against a $725 million annual plan.

Free cash flow for the quarter was $205 million, with cash provided from
operations of $472 million. Alcoa ended the quarter with cash on hand of
$1.3 billion, and on July 7, extended the maturity date of its $4
billion revolving credit line to July 2020.

The Company achieved an average of 34 days working capital for the
quarter, 1 day higher than second quarter 2014 due primarily to the
impact of the Firth Rixson and TITAL acquisitions. Excluding the impact
of the acquisitions, average days of working capital decreased 2 days
from 33 to 31. Alcoa’s debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio on a trailing
twelve months basis was 2.12.

Segment Performance

Engineered Products and Solutions

After-tax operating income (ATOI) was a record $210 million, up $8
million, or 4 percent, year-over-year from $202 million (revised from
$204 million*), and up $16 million, or 8 percent, from $194 million
(revised from $191 million*) sequentially. Year-over-year, productivity
improvements, the contribution from acquisitions and higher volumes were
mostly offset by unfavorable price/mix and unfavorable foreign currency
exchange rates. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 21.5 percent in second
quarter 2015 compared to 22.9 percent (revised from 23.1 percent*) in
the year-ago quarter and 20.4 percent (revised from 20.1 percent*) in
first quarter 2015.

Global Rolled Products

ATOI in the second quarter was $76 million, up $6 million, or 9 percent,
year-over-year from $70 million (revised from $79 million*), and up $22
million, or 41 percent, from $54 million (revised from $34 million*)
sequentially. Year-over-year, results were driven by strong productivity
gains, recording-setting approximately 200 percent growth in automotive
sheet shipments, and increased commercial transportation and aerospace
volume of 10 percent and 4 percent, respectively. Results were partially
offset by lack of metal premium pass-through in Russia, pricing
headwinds in global packaging, and costs associated with the investment
in MicromillTM. As a result of the segment’s transformation
initiatives, adjusted EBITDA per metric ton was $342 in second quarter
2015, up 18 percent or $53 per metric ton from $289 (revised from $313*)
in the year-ago quarter.

Alumina

ATOI in the second quarter was $215 million, down $6 million
sequentially from $221 million, and up $177 million year-over-year from
$38 million. Lower pricing based on both the Alumina Price Index (API)
and the London Metal Exchange (LME) drove the decline in sequential
ATOI. Increased productivity and higher volume partially offset the
pricing impacts. Adjusted EBITDA per metric ton decreased $4 from first
quarter 2015 to $98 per metric ton in second quarter 2015 and increased
$59 per metric ton year-over-year.

Primary Metals

ATOI in the second quarter was $67 million, down $120 million
sequentially from $187 million, and down $30 million from $97 million in
second quarter 2014. Sequential earnings declined due to lower regional
premiums and lower LME aluminum pricing. Lower alumina and energy costs
somewhat offset these negative market impacts. Third-party realized
price in second quarter 2015 was $2,180 per metric ton, down 10 percent
sequentially and down 5 percent year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA per
metric ton was $267, $232 per metric ton lower than first quarter 2015.

Daylight Time on July 8, 2015 to present quarterly results. The meeting
will be webcast via alcoa.com. Call information and related details are

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the information included in this release is derived from Alcoa’s
consolidated financial information but is not presented in Alcoa’s
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Certain of
these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules.
These non-GAAP financial measures supplement our GAAP disclosures and
should not be considered an alternative to the GAAP measure.
Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures
and management’s rationale for the use of the non-GAAP financial
measures can be found in the schedules to this release and on our
website at www.alcoa.com under
the “Invest” section. Alcoa has not provided a reconciliation of any
forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures, due primarily to variability and
difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, as not all of
the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation is available

* Effective in the second quarter of 2015, management removed the impact
of metal price lag from the results of the Engineered Products and
Solutions and Global Rolled Products segments in order to enhance the
visibility of the underlying operating performance of these businesses.
Metal price lag describes the timing difference created when the average
price of metal sold differs from the average cost of the metal when
purchased by the respective segment. The impact of metal price lag is
now reported as a separate line item in Alcoa’s reconciliation of total
segment ATOI to consolidated net income (loss) attributable to Alcoa
(see Segment Information that follows below). As a result, this revision
does not impact the consolidated results of Alcoa. Segment information
for all prior periods presented was revised to reflect this change.

(1)   In order to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per share for
the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, preferred stock
dividends declared of $1 and $35, respectively, need to be
subtracted from Net (loss) income attributable to Alcoa.
 
(2) In the first quarter of 2014, holders of $575 principal amount of
Alcoa’s 5.25% Convertible Notes due March 15, 2014 (the “Notes”)
exercised their option to convert the Notes into 89 million shares
of Alcoa common stock. As a result, the basic average number of
shares for the six months ended June 30, 2014 includes 56 million
representing the weighted average number of shares for the length of
time the 89 million shares were outstanding during the six-month
period of 2014, and the basic average number of shares for the six
months ended June 30, 2015 includes all 89 million shares.
 
Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2014, Alcoa issued 37 million
shares of its common stock as part of the consideration paid to
acquire an aerospace business, Firth Rixson. As a result, the basic
average number of shares for the six months ended June 30, 2015
includes all 37 million shares.
 
(3) In the six months ended June 30, 2014, the diluted average number of
shares does not include any share equivalents as their effect was
anti-dilutive. In the six months ended June 30, 2015, the difference
between the diluted average number of shares and the basic average
number of shares relates to share equivalents associated with
outstanding employee stock options and awards. The diluted average
number of shares for the six months ended June 30, 2015 does not
include any share equivalents related to the mandatory convertible
preferred stock as their effect was anti-dilutive.

*   On November 19, 2014, Alcoa completed the acquisition of an
aerospace business, Firth Rixson. As a result, Alcoa’s Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014 included an estimate of the
beginning balance sheet of Firth Rixson. This estimate resulted in
the allocation of $1,227 of the $3,125 purchase price (includes $130
of contingent consideration) to various assets, primarily
Properties, plants, and equipment, and liabilities with the
difference included in Goodwill. In the 2015 six-month period, an
adjustment of $107 was recorded to increase the estimated beginning
balance of certain assets acquired and to decrease the initial
amount recorded as Goodwill. This adjustment was based on currently
available information from an in-progress third-party valuation of
the acquired business, which is expected to be finalized in the
third quarter of 2015.

(1)   In the first quarter of 2015, management decided to reflect the net
periodic benefit cost related to Alcoa-sponsored defined benefit
pension plans as a separate line item in the Statement of
Consolidated Cash Flows. In prior periods, a portion of this amount
was reported in both the (Increase) in noncurrent assets (overfunded
plans) and the (Decrease) in noncurrent liabilities (underfunded
plans) line items. As a result, the Statement of Consolidated Cash
Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was revised to conform
to the current period presentation.
 

(2)

The (Increase) in noncurrent assets line item for the six months
ended June 30, 2015 includes a $300 prepayment related to a
natural gas supply agreement for three alumina refineries in
Western Australia, which are owned by Alcoa’s majority-owned
subsidiary, Alcoa of Australia Limited.

In the first quarter of 2014, holders of $575 principal amount of
Alcoa’s 5.25% Convertible Notes due March 15, 2014 (the “Notes”)
exercised their option to convert the Notes into 89 million shares
of Alcoa common stock. This transaction was not reflected in the
Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the six months ended June
30, 2014 as it represents a noncash financing activity.
 

(4)

Proceeds from the sale of assets and businesses for the six months
ended June 30, 2015 includes a cash outflow for cash paid as a
result of post-closing adjustments associated with the December 2014
divestiture of three rolling mills in Spain and France.

The difference between certain segment totals and consolidated
amounts is in Corporate.

 
*   Effective in the second quarter of 2015, management removed the
impact of metal price lag from the results of the Global Rolled
Products and Engineered Products and Solutions segments in order to
enhance the visibility of the underlying operating performance of
these businesses. Metal price lag describes the timing difference
created when the average price of metal sold differs from the
average cost of the metal when purchased by the respective segment.
This revision does not impact the consolidated results of Alcoa.
Segment information for all prior periods presented was revised to
reflect this change.

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)   Discrete tax items include the following:

 

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

 

for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, a net benefit for a number of
small items.

 
(2) Other special items include the following:

 

for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, 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), a gain on the sale of land ($19), costs
associated with a future acquisition of an aerospace business
($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), a net
unfavorable change in certain mark-to-market energy derivative
contracts ($3), and a write-down of inventory related to the
permanent closure of a smelter in Brazil and a power station in
Australia ($2);

 

for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, an unfavorable tax impact
related to the interim period treatment of operational losses in
certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was
recognized ($35), a favorable tax impact resulting from the
difference between Alcoa’s consolidated estimated annual effective
tax rate and the statutory rates applicable to special items
($31), costs associated with current and future acquisitions of
aerospace businesses ($7), and a net favorable change in certain
mark-to-market energy derivative contracts ($1); and

 

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 was
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 special items
($24), costs associated with (i) a then-planned acquisition of an
aerospace business ($11) and (ii) preparation for and ratification
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).

 
(3) The average number of shares applicable to diluted EPS for Net
income attributable to Alcoa 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 – as adjusted due to a larger,
positive numerator. Specifically, these share equivalents were
associated with mandatory convertible preferred stock for the
quarter ended March 31, 2015. As a result, the average number of
shares applicable to diluted EPS for Net income attributable to
Alcoa – as adjusted was 1,315,558,890 for the quarter ended March
31, 2015. Additionally, the subtraction of preferred stock dividends
declared from the numerator (see footnote 1 to the Statement of
Consolidated Operations) needs to be reversed for the quarter ended
March 31, 2015 since the related mandatory convertible preferred
stock was dilutive in the EPS calculation for Net income
attributable to Alcoa – as adjusted.

Alcoa’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes,

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.

Alcoa’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes,

Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general

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.

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.
 
(1)   Effective in the second quarter of 2015, management removed the
impact of metal price lag from the results of the Global Rolled
Products and Engineered Products and Solutions segments in order to
enhance the visibility of the underlying operating performance of
these businesses. Metal price lag describes the timing difference
created when the average price of metal sold differs from the
average cost of the metal when purchased by the respective segment.
This revision does not impact the consolidated results of Alcoa.
Segment information for all prior periods presented was revised to
reflect this change. See Segment Information above for additional
information.

In the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the
Third-party sales and Adjusted EBITDA of Engineered Products and
Solutions includes $233 and $27 (ATOI of $6 plus an add-back of
both $18 for depreciation, depletion, and amortization and $3 for
income taxes), respectively, and $268 and $42 (ATOI of $14 plus an
add-back of both $21 for depreciation, depletion, and amortization
and $7 for income taxes), respectively, related to the acquisition
of two aerospace businesses, Firth Rixson and TITAL. Excluding
these amounts, Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 21.8% and 22.6% for the
quarters ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

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.

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.
 
(2) The Working Capital for each period presented represents an average
quarter Working Capital, which reflects 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.
 
(3) In the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, Working
