PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Howmet Aerospace (NYSE:HWM) today reported first quarter 2021 results. The Company reported first quarter revenues of $1.2 billion, down 26% year over year due to disruptions in the commercial aerospace market, primarily driven by COVID-19, Boeing 737 MAX, and Boeing 787 production declines, partially offset by growth in the commercial transportation, defense aerospace, and industrial gas turbine markets.
Howmet Aerospace reported income from continuing operations of $80 million, or $0.18 per share, in the first quarter 2021 versus income from continuing operations of $153 million, or $0.35 per share, in the first quarter 2020. Income from continuing operations excluding special items was $96 million, or $0.22 per share, in the first quarter 2021, versus $194 million, or $0.44 per share, in the first quarter 2020. Income from continuing operations in the first quarter 2021 included a $16 million charge from special items, principally related to plant fire costs and restructuring and other charges.
First quarter 2021 operating income was $189 million, down 27% year over year. Operating income excluding special items was $208 million, down 34% year over year. The year-over-year decline was due to significant disruptions in the commercial aerospace market, driven by COVID-19, Boeing 737 MAX, and Boeing 787 production declines, resulting in unfavorable volume and product mix. The decline was partially offset by growth in the commercial transportation, defense aerospace, and industrial gas turbine markets, variable and fixed cost reductions, and favorable product pricing. Operating income margin, excluding special items, was down approximately 200 basis points year over year to 17.2%.
Howmet Aerospace Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer John Plant said, “Howmet Aerospace delivered a healthy start to 2021 with first quarter 2021 profits and margins exceeding expectations. Our first quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.7% was similar to fourth quarter 2020 despite approximately $30 million less revenue, supported by favorable product pricing and effective cost performance. First quarter 2021 adjusted free cash flow was near breakeven, a first quarter record, demonstrating our continued focus on cash generation. We expect adjusted free cash flow to be less seasonal going forward, and expect positive cash generation through the remaining quarters of 2021.”
Mr. Plant continued, “We see the end of the second quarter as the inflection point for a commercial aerospace recovery, led by the narrow body market, that should support a stronger second half 2021, particularly for Engine Products and Engineered Structures. The Commercial Transportation market remains robust, supporting Forged Wheels, although industry supply chain constraints can limit growth in the near term. As we look to the rest of 2021 and beyond, we are well positioned to emerge from the pandemic in a stronger, more profitable position.”
“Our liquidity position is strong as a result of our strict and disciplined approach to costs and spending. We ended first quarter 2021 with $1.24 billion of cash after the early redemption of our April 2021 notes for approximately $361 million, and we completed the early redemption of our February 2022 notes for approximately $500 million on May 3, 2021. During the quarter, we amended our undrawn $1 billion revolving credit facility and our next debt maturity is not until October 2024.”
On April 1, 2020, Arconic Inc. completed the separation of its business into two independent, publicly-traded companies: Howmet Aerospace Inc. (the new name for Arconic Inc.) and Arconic Corporation. The financial results of Arconic Corporation for all periods prior to April 1, 2020 have been retrospectively reflected in the Statement of Consolidated Operations as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods prior to April 1, 2020. Additionally, the related assets and liabilities associated with Arconic Corporation in the December 31, 2019 Consolidated Balance Sheet are classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations. The cash flows, comprehensive income, and equity related to Arconic Corporation have not been segregated and are included in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows, Statement of Consolidated Comprehensive Income, and Statement of Changes in Consolidated Equity, respectively, for all periods prior to April 1, 2020.

Excluding Special Items |
*
Howmet Aerospace has not provided reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings per share or earnings per share excluding special items, and adjusted free cash flow, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Such reconciliations 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, 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.
Howmet Aerospace believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.
Completed Early Redemption of All Outstanding 5.40% Notes due 2021 for Approximately $361 Million
Howmet Aerospace redeemed all of its outstanding 5.40% Notes due 2021 in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $361 million on January 15, 2021. The notes were redeemed at 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the redemption date. As a result, interest costs to the Company are estimated to be reduced in 2021 by approximately $19 million.
Completed Early Redemption of All Outstanding 5.87% Notes due 2022 at an Aggregate Redemption Price of Approximately $500 Million
Howmet Aerospace completed the early redemption on May 3, 2021 of all $476 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5.87% Notes due 2022 at an aggregate redemption price of approximately $500 million. As a result, interest costs to the Company are estimated to be reduced in 2021 by approximately $19 million and approximately $28 million on an annual basis. The Company’s next debt maturity is in October 2024.
Amended Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement
On March 29, 2021, Howmet Aerospace successfully amended its Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement. This amendment provides certain relief under the financial covenant until December 31, 2022. The $1 billion revolving credit facility remains undrawn.
Expecting to Reinstate its Dividend on Common Stock Beginning in the Third Quarter 2021
Howmet Aerospace expects to reinstate a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share of the Company’s common stock, beginning in the third quarter 2021, subject to the discretion and final approval of the Board of Directors each quarter after the Board’s consideration of all factors it deems relevant and subject to applicable law and contractual considerations.

In order to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per share, preferred stock dividends declared of $1 for the quarters ended March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020 need to be subtracted from Net income. | |

For the quarters presented, the difference between the diluted average number of shares and the basic average number of shares related to share equivalents associated with outstanding employee stock options and awards. | |
|
(4) |
Basic and diluted average number of shares and common stock outstanding at the end of the period for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 do not reflect the full impact of the share repurchases made at different times during the fourth quarter of 2020. | |
|
(5) |
Per share amounts are calculated independently for Continuing and Discontinued operations, therefore, the sum of the amounts may not equal the total Net Income per share. |

The separation of Arconic Inc. into two standalone, publicly-traded companies, Howmet Aerospace Inc. and Arconic Corporation, (the “Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction”) occurred on April 1, 2020. The cash flows related to Arconic Corporation have not been segregated and are included in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the first quarter of 2020.
|
(1) |
In the third quarter of 2020, the Company identified a misclassification in the presentation of changes in accounts payable and capital expenditures in its previously issued Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows during 2020. Although management has determined that such misclassification did not materially misstate the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the first quarter of 2020, the Company has revised it resulting in an $83 increase to previously reported capital expenditures and decrease to cash provided from investing activities with a corresponding reduction (decrease) in accounts payable, trade and increase in cash provided by operations. | |
|
(2) |
The proceeds from financing activities primarily related to long-term debt issuance of $1,200 in the first quarter of 2020 which went with Arconic Corporation at separation. | |
|
(3) |
The use of cash from financing activities in 2021 was related to the repayment of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 5.400% Notes due 2021 of approximately $361. | |
|
(4) |
Proceeds from the sale of assets and businesses were primarily related to sale of a rolling mill in Itapissuma, Brazil and hard alloy extrusions plant in South Korea for $50 and $62 in cash, respectively, which were related to Arconic Corporation. |

Total Segment operating profit and Total Segment capital expenditures are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these measures are meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of the Company by Segment excluding the impacts of Corporate, Restructuring and other charges, 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 Income from continuing operations determined under GAAP as well as Total Segment operating profit.
Differences between the total segment and consolidated totals are in Corporate.

|
The net cash funding from the sale of accounts receivables was neither a use of cash nor a source of cash in the first quarter of 2021.
Adjusted 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 the Company’s asset base and are expected to generate future cash flows from operations), as well as cash receipts from net sales of beneficial interest in sold receivables. It is important to note that Adjusted 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 debt is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management assesses the Company’s leverage position after factoring in cash that could be used to repay outstanding debt.

Operating income excluding Special items and Operating income margin, excluding Special items are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these measures are meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of the Company excluding the impacts of 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 Operating income determined under GAAP as well as Operating income excluding Special items.

The Company’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. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding Special items Margin are meaningful to investors because it provides additional information with respect to the Company’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.
