  • Net income attributable to Arconic of $212 million, or $0.43 per share, versus $135 million in the second quarter of 2016

  • Excluding special items, consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $486 million, up 2% year over year
  • Excluding special items, consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of 20 basis points year over year

  • Cash balance of $1.8 billion
  • Reduced long-term debt by $1.25 billion year to date

Arconic Inc. (NYSE:ARNC) today reported results for the second quarter
of 2017, for which the Company reported revenue of $3.3 billion, up 1%
year over year, driven by higher volumes across all business segments as
well as higher aluminum prices. Adjusting for Tennessee packaging,
revenues were up 5% year over year.

Net income attributable to Arconic in the second quarter of 2017 was
$212 million, or $0.43 per share. The results include $47 million in
special items, including a gain on the debt-for-equity exchange of Alcoa
Corporation shares, which is intended to qualify as generally tax-free
to Arconic for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This was partially
offset by costs associated with the early redemption of debt; proxy,
advisory and governance-related costs; and restructuring-related charges.

Excluding special items, second quarter 2017 adjusted income was $165
million, or $0.32 per share. All segments delivered higher volumes while
maintaining focus on cost reduction savings. Annualized return on net
assets (RONA) was 8.7% based on the results of the first half of 2017.

Second quarter Consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $444 million, up 3% year
over year. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $486
million, up 2% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding special
items was 14.9%, up 20 basis points year over year.

“Arconic delivered another solid quarter. The business increased revenue
and profitability, continued to expand margins and take out cost. We
ended the first half of 2017 with significantly less debt, a strong cash
position and good liquidity. We are pleased to update our guidance for
the year, reflecting our increased confidence in 2017 performance,” said
Arconic Interim Chief Executive Officer David Hess.

Reynobond PE

Reynobond PE, one of Arconic’s building and construction products, was
one component of the overall cladding system installed on Grenfell Tower
in London, the site of last month’s tragic fire. Our Reynobond products,
including Reynobond PE, are permitted to be used in accordance with
local codes and regulations in the United States, UK and other countries
around the world. Cladding systems contain various components selected
and put together by architects, contractors, fabricators and building
owners, and those parties are responsible for ensuring that the cladding
systems are compliant under the appropriate codes and regulations. As it
relates to Arconic’s position in the supply chain, we believe we have
been compliant in the sale of our product. Given the tragedy at Grenfell
Tower, and out of an abundance of caution as Arconic does not control
the ultimate design and installation of the final cladding system, the
Company announced on June 26th that it would no longer sell the PE
product for use in high-rise construction – regardless of the local
codes and regulations.

Hess said, “We extend our deepest sympathies to those who have lost so
much. Everyone at Arconic continues to keep them in our thoughts. And
importantly, we remain committed to supporting the investigations that
are seeking an outcome that makes it unlikely that a similar tragedy
will ever recur.”

Second Quarter 2017 Segment Performance

Engineered Products and Solutions (EP&S)

EP&S reported revenue of $1.5 billion, up 1% year over year, and
Adjusted EBITDA of $310 million, down $19 million year over year.
Increased volume and continued net cost savings (excluding engine
ramp-up costs) were more than offset by unfavorable mix and price. While
a headwind year over year, ramp-up costs were down sequentially in the
second quarter, both in absolute dollars and as a percent of volume. The
segment’s Adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.9%, down 160 basis points year
over year.

Global Rolled Products (GRP)

GRP reported revenue of $1.3 billion, a decrease of 4% year over year,
which includes the Tennessee packaging business. Adjusting for Tennessee
packaging, GRP revenue was up 8% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA was
$164 million, up $1 million year over year, an improvement driven by net
cost savings and automotive volume and partially offset by reduced
aerospace wide-body build rates, airframe destocking and pricing
pressure in regional specialties. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA margin
was 12.9%, up 50 basis points year over year.

In the second quarter, Arconic continued progress towards streamlining
and simplifying its cost structure. In GRP, these efforts are expected
to save $15 million in 2018 and create a leaner business well positioned
to deliver growth.

Transportation and Construction Solutions (TCS)

TCS delivered revenue of $501 million, an increase of 7% year over year,
and Adjusted EBITDA of $82 million, up $6 million year over year, as
volume and net cost savings more than offset pricing pressure in the
heavy-duty truck market. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.4%,
up 10 basis points year over year.

Balance Sheet

Arconic ended the second quarter of 2017 with cash on hand of $1.8
billion. Cash from operations was $217 million, and free cash flow was
$91 million. Cash used for financing activities totaled $860 million,
reflecting cash payments for the early redemption of debt, and cash used
for investing activities was $125 million.

Since the start of the year, Arconic has reduced its long-term debt by
approximately $1.25 billion.

Arconic has not provided a reconciliation
of the forward-looking financial measures of adjusted EBITDA, and
adjusted earnings per share to the most directly comparable
financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP) because Arconic is unable to quantify certain amounts that
would be required to be included in the GAAP measures without
unreasonable efforts, and Arconic believes such reconciliations
would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or
misleading to investors. In particular, reconciliations of the
forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable
efforts due to the variability and complexity with respect to the
charges and other components excluded from the non-GAAP measures,
such as the effects of foreign currency movements, equity income,
gains or losses on sales of assets, taxes and any future
restructuring or impairment charges. These reconciling items are
in addition to the inherent variability already included in the
GAAP measures, which includes, but is not limited to, price/mix
and volume.

As previously announced, Arconic expects to fully exit the
North American packaging business at its Tennessee operations
following the expiration of the Toll Processing and Services
Agreement (the “Processing Agreement”) with Alcoa Corporation on
December 31, 2018, unless sooner terminated by the parties.
Pursuant to the Processing Agreement, dated as of October 31,
2016, Arconic provides can body stock to Alcoa Corporation, using
aluminum supplied by Alcoa Corporation.

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 Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Arconic’s definition of Combined segment 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 Combined segment adjusted EBITDA presented may not
be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
 
The difference between certain segment totals and consolidated
amounts is Corporate.

  On November 1, 2016, the former Alcoa Inc. completed its separation
into two standalone, publicly-traded companies. Arconic includes the
former Alcoa Inc. segments: Engineered Products and Solutions,
Transportation and Construction Solutions, and Global Rolled
Products, except for the Warrick, IN rolling operations and the
equity interest in the rolling mill at the joint venture in Saudi
Arabia, both of which became part of Alcoa Corporation. The Global
Rolled Products segment information has been updated to exclude the
Warrick, IN rolling operations and the equity interest in the
rolling mill at the joint venture in Saudi Arabia.

Combined segment adjusted EBITDA is the summation of the respective
Adjusted EBITDA of Arconic’s three reportable segments.
 

(3)

Other income, net included:
   

For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, a $351 gain on the sale of a
portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock;
and

For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, a $167 gain on the exchange of
Arconic’s remaining investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock for
a portion of the Company’s outstanding senior notes due 2018.

(4)

 

Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 includes $76
related to the early redemption of the Company’s outstanding
6.500% Senior Notes due 2018 and 6.750% Senior Notes due 2018
(collectively, the “2018 Senior Notes”) and a portion of the
Company’s outstanding 5.720% Senior Notes due 2019.

The reconciliation of Combined segment adjusted EBITDA to
Consolidated net income (loss) attributable to Arconic has been

Net income attributable to Arconic – as adjusted is a non-GAAP
financial measure. Management believes that this measure is
meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating
results of Arconic 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 Arconic determined under GAAP as
well as Net income attributable to Arconic – as adjusted.
 

(1)

 

On November 1, 2016, the former Alcoa Inc. was separated into two
standalone, publicly-traded companies, Arconic and Alcoa
Corporation, by means of a pro rata distribution of 80.1 percent
of the outstanding common stock of Alcoa Corporation to Alcoa Inc.
shareholders. Accordingly, the results of operations of Alcoa
Corporation have been reflected as discontinued operations for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016.

 

(2)

Discrete tax items included the following:

for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, a benefit for one item ($3);

for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, a net charge for a number of
small items ($1);

for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a net charge for a number of
small items ($3); and

for the six months ended June 30, 2017, a net charge for a number of
small items ($1).
 

(3)

Other special items included the following:

for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, an unfavorable tax impact
related to the interim period treatment of operational income in
certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax expense was
recognized ($51), costs associated with the separation of Alcoa Inc.
($45), and an unfavorable tax impact resulting from the difference
between Arconic’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate
and the statutory rate applicable to special items ($17);

for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, a gain on the sale of a
portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock
($351), costs associated with the separation of Alcoa Inc. ($18), a
favorable tax impact resulting from the difference between Arconic’s
consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory
rate applicable to special items ($17), proxy, advisory and
governance-related costs ($16), and an unfavorable tax impact
related to the interim period treatment of operational losses in
certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was
recognized ($9);

for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, a gain on the exchange of the
remaining portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation
common stock ($167), costs associated with the Company’s early
redemption of $1,250 of outstanding senior notes ($76), proxy,
advisory and governance-related costs ($42), an unfavorable tax
impact resulting from the difference between Arconic’s consolidated
estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory rate
applicable to special items ($30), and a favorable tax impact
related to the interim period treatment of operational losses in
certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was
recognized ($4);

for the six months ended June 30, 2016, an unfavorable tax impact
resulting from the difference between Arconic’s consolidated
estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory rate
applicable to special items ($63), costs associated with the
separation of Alcoa Inc. ($63), and a favorable tax impact related
to the interim period treatment of operational losses in certain
foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized ($7);
and

for the six months ended June 30, 2017, a gain on the sale of a
portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock
($351), a gain on the exchange of the remaining portion of Arconic’s
investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock ($167), costs
associated with the Company’s early redemption of $1,250 of
outstanding senior notes ($76), proxy, advisory, and
governance-related costs ($58), costs associated with the separation
of Alcoa Inc. ($18), an unfavorable tax impact resulting from the
difference between Arconic’s consolidated estimated annual effective
tax rate and the statutory rate applicable to special items ($13),
and an unfavorable tax impact related to the interim period
treatment of operational losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for
which no tax benefit was recognized ($5).

(4)

 

The tax impact on special items is based on the applicable
statutory rates whereby the difference between such rates and
Arconic’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate is
itself a special item (see Note 3 above).

 

(5)

At a special meeting of Arconic common shareholders held on
October 5, 2016, shareholders approved a 1-for-3 reverse stock
split of Arconic’s outstanding and authorized shares of common
stock which became effective on October 6, 2016. All share and per
share data for all periods presented have been updated to reflect
the reverse stock split.

 

The average number of shares applicable to diluted EPS for Net
income attributable to Arconic – as adjusted, includes certain
share equivalents as their effect was dilutive. Specifically:

for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, share equivalents associated
with outstanding employee stock options and awards and shares
underlying outstanding convertible debt (acquired through the
acquisition of RTI International Metals, Inc.) were dilutive based
on Net income attributable to Arconic common shareholders – as
adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number of shares of
452,052,847;

for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, share equivalents associated
with outstanding employee stock options and awards and shares
underlying outstanding convertible debt (acquired through the
acquisition of RTI International Metals, Inc.) were dilutive based
on Net income attributable to Arconic common shareholders – as
adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number of shares of
460,207,783.

for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, share equivalents associated
with outstanding employee stock options and awards and shares
underlying outstanding convertible debt (acquired through the
acquisition of RTI International Metals, Inc.) were dilutive based
on Net income attributable to Arconic common shareholders – as
adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number of shares of
461,826,510; and

for the six months ended June 30, 2016, share equivalents associated
with outstanding employee stock options and awards and shares
underlying outstanding convertible debt (acquired through the
acquisition of RTI International Metals, Inc.) were dilutive based
on Net income attributable to Arconic common shareholders – as
adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number of shares of
451,498,740.

for the six months ended June 30, 2017, share equivalents associated
with outstanding employee stock options and awards and shares
underlying outstanding convertible debt (acquired through the

it is appropriate to consider both the Effective tax rate determined

Arconic’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest,

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

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.
 
Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA, excluding special items is a non-GAAP

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
Arconic’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

RONA is a non-GAAP financial measure. RONA is calculated as adjusted
