NEW YORK–Alcoa (NYSE: AA) today reported increased third quarter revenue and
earnings compared to the year-ago quarter, but lower results
sequentially, primarily due to lower metal prices, seasonal factors and
weakness in Europe.
Income from continuing operations was $172 million, or $0.15 per share,
in third quarter 2011, compared to $61 million, or $0.06 per share, in
third quarter 2010 and $326 million, or $0.28 per share, in second
quarter 2011.
“Aluminum prices fell in the third quarter, but most markets continued
to grow,” said Alcoa Chairman and CEO Klaus Kleinfeld. “With the
exception of Europe, we saw growth in our end markets, though at a
slower rate than in the first half, as confidence in the global recovery
faded.
“We continue to forecast a growth rate of 12 percent for 2011, with a
slower pace in the second half of the year, and reaffirm our long-term
forecast for a doubling of aluminum demand by 2020. Alcoa is a confident
company in a nervous world. We are well prepared for whatever lies
ahead, with more cash on hand, lower debt and continued focus on
profitable growth.”
Net income for third quarter 2011 was $172 million, or $0.15 per share,
compared to net income in third quarter 2010 of $61 million, or $0.06
per share, and net income in second quarter 2011 of $322 million, or
$0.28 per share.
Revenue was $6.4 billion in third quarter 2011, up 21 percent from the
$5.3 billion recorded in third quarter 2010 and down 3 percent compared
to $6.6 billion recorded in second quarter 2011.
On a year-over-year basis, Alcoa’s major end markets showed strong
revenue growth, led by commercial transportation (up 44 percent),
automotive (up 26 percent), packaging (up 21 percent), and aerospace (up
20 percent).
Sequentially, markets were mixed. Revenue was lower for both alumina and
aluminum, down 5 percent and 1 percent, respectively, driven by lower
alumina shipments and lower realized pricing in both businesses. In end
markets, revenue increased in commercial transportation (6 percent) and
aerospace (2 percent), while declines were seen in automotive (7
percent), industrial products (6 percent), building and construction (5
percent), and packaging (4 percent).
Excluding the impact of restructuring and other special items, income
from continuing operations was $165 million in third quarter 2011, an
increase of $69 million from the prior-year quarter’s $96 million, but a
decrease of $199 million from sequential quarter income from continuing
operations of $364 million.
In third quarter 2011, special items included the positive impact of
mark-to-market changes on certain energy contracts and a net discrete
income tax benefit, partially offset by the negative impact of net costs
associated with restructuring and uninsured losses, including losses
related to flood damage at Alcoa’s Bloomsburg, PA, plant.
For the quarter, adjusted EBITDA was $821 million, up 36 percent from
third quarter 2010, but down 21 percent from second quarter 2011.
Year-to-date, revenues were $19.0 billion, up 23 percent over the first
three quarters of 2010. Income from continuing operations year-to-date
was $807 million, or $0.71 per share, compared to $4 million in the
first three quarters of 2010. Net income year-to-date in 2011 was $802
million, or $0.71 per share.
Through the first three quarters of 2011, Alcoa continued to turn in
outstanding performance against the Company’s financial targets. Alcoa
generated $250 million in free cash flow while cash from operations was
$1.1 billion. Alcoa improved liquidity in third quarter 2011, with cash
on hand rising 6 percent to $1.3 billion compared to second quarter
2011. Capital spending through third quarter 2011 was $801 million, 53
percent of target. Year-to-date, Alcoa has invested $165 million in the
Company’s joint venture in Saudi Arabia, 41 percent of target. Alcoa’s
debt-to-capital ratio stands at 33.7 percent, 200 basis points lower
than third quarter 2010 and within the Company’s targeted range of 30 to
35 percent.
Looking forward, Alcoa continues to project aluminum demand will grow 12
percent in 2011 on top of the 13 percent growth seen in 2010, well ahead
of the 6.5 percent compound annual growth rate needed to double aluminum
demand by 2020. Increasing demand in China, where the Company has raised
its 2011 growth projection two-percentage points to 17 percent, will
mostly offset declines in Europe and other regions.
On a global basis, Alcoa’s year-over-year end market outlook remains
positive.
Aerospace, where order backlogs top eight years, and automotive, where
increasing government requirements for fuel efficiency are driving more
demand for light-weight solutions, are expected to remain strong. Alcoa
projects aerospace demand will continue to grow in the second half of
2011 and the year-end growth rate will be between 6 and 7 percent. In
the automotive market, Alcoa projects continued growth in the second
half and a year-over-year improvement of 3 to 5 percent.
Growing demand for aluminum beverage cans in China, Europe, and the
Middle East will offset flat to declining markets in the United States
and drive overall packaging market growth of 2 to 3 percent in 2011
compared to 2010. The recovery in the industrial gas turbine market
continues to support a brighter long-term outlook and a 2011 growth
projection of 5 to 10 percent. The building and construction market
continues to struggle in North America and Europe, leading to a growth
projection of 1 to 3 percent, primarily due to continued strength in
non-residential construction in China.
The outlook for commercial transportation is mixed, with a weaker second
half of 2011, driven primarily by lower sales in Europe and China,
offsetting strong first-half results and continued gains in the North
American market. Alcoa projects heavy truck and trailer sales will range
from flat to 2 percent growth over 2010.
Segment Information
Alumina
After-tax operating income (ATOI) in the third quarter was $154 million,
up 120 percent compared to $70 million in third quarter 2010, but a
decrease of $32 million, or 17 percent, compared to second quarter 2011.
Adjusted EBITDA fell $24 million to $311 million, a sequential decrease
of 7 percent. Third-quarter results were impacted by lower pricing on
the London Metal Exchange (LME) and lower index pricing. Increased
energy and raw materials costs were offset by improved productivity,
higher volumes, and positive currency impact. Alumina production of 4.14
million metric tons in the third quarter was essentially flat from
second quarter 2011, with higher internal sales offsetting a slight
decrease in third-party shipments.
Primary Metals
ATOI in the third quarter was $110 million, an increase of $32 million,
or 41 percent, over third quarter 2010 and a decrease of $91 million, or
45 percent, from second quarter 2011. Third-party realized metal prices
decreased 5 percent sequentially on declining LME cash prices. Restarts
at smelters in Massena, NY, and Intalco and Wenatchee, WA, had a
positive impact of $6 million in the quarter compared to second quarter
2011.
Flat-Rolled Products
Third-party revenue in the third quarter was $2.0 billion, up 20 percent
year-over-year and down 5 percent sequentially. ATOI for the third
quarter was $60 million, down 9 percent, or $6 million, from third
quarter 2010 and down 39 percent, or $39 million, from second quarter
2011. The declining performance was driven by significant deterioration
in European markets, seasonal plant shutdowns and rising costs.
Engineered Products and Solutions
Revenue in the third quarter was $1.4 billion, up 17 percent over third
quarter 2010 and an increase of $3 million over second quarter 2011.
ATOI in the third quarter was $138 million, up $24 million, or 21
percent, from third quarter 2010 and down $11 million, or 7 percent,
compared to second quarter 2011. Sequentially, decreased ATOI was mainly
driven by unfavorable price and mix across most businesses as well as
the cost impact of flooding at the Bloomsburg, PA, plant. The ATOI
improvement from third quarter 2010 resulted from higher volumes across
all businesses supported by a strong portfolio of innovative products.
Alcoa will hold its quarterly conference call at 5:00 PM Eastern Time
on October 11, 2011 to present the quarter’s results. The meeting will
be webcast via alcoa.com. Call information and related details are

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

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.

Income from continuing operations 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 Income from
continuing operations attributable to Alcoa determined under GAAP as
well as Income from continuing operations attributable to Alcoa – as
adjusted.
* Discrete tax items include the following:
-
for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, a net benefit for
adjustments made related to the filing of 2010 tax returns in various
jurisdictions ($5) and a net benefit for other miscellaneous items
($5); and -
for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a benefit for the reversal
of a valuation allowance related to net operating losses of an
international subsidiary that are now realizable due to a settlement
with a tax authority ($41), a charge for a tax rate change in Brazil
($11), and a benefit for the recovery of a portion of the unfavorable
impact included in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 related to
unbenefitted losses in Russia, China, and Italy ($8).
** Other special items include the following:
-
for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, favorable mark-to-market
changes in certain power derivative contracts ($13) and uninsured
losses, including costs related to flood damage to a plant in
Pennsylvania caused by Hurricane Irene, ($11); -
for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, a net charge comprised of
expenses for the early repayment of Notes set to mature in 2013 due to
the premiums paid under the tender offers and call option and gains
from the termination of related “in-the-money” interest rate swaps
($32) and favorable mark-to-market changes in certain power derivative
contracts ($10); and -
for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, unfavorable mark-to-market
changes in certain power derivative contracts ($29), recovery costs
associated with the São Luís, Brazil facility due to a power outage
and failure of a ship unloader in the first half of 2010 ($23),
restart costs and lost volumes related to a June 2010 flood at the
Avilés smelter in Spain ($13), and a net charge comprised of expenses
for the early repayment of Notes set to mature in 2011 through 2013
due to the premiums paid under the tender offers and call option and
gains from the termination of related “in-the-money” interest rate
swaps ($9).
