NEW YORK–Alcoa (NYSE: AA) today announced a first quarter 2010 loss from
continuing operations of $194 million, or $0.19 per share, which
includes restructuring and special charges of $295 million, or $0.29 per
share. The results compare to a fourth quarter 2009 loss from continuing
operations of $266 million, or $0.27 per share, and a first quarter 2009
loss from continuing operations of $480 million, or $0.59 per share.
The $295 million in first-quarter charges, which are primarily non-cash,
relate to:
-
Restructuring and environmental costs, primarily from the decision to
permanently close two smelters in Badin, North Carolina, and
Frederick, Maryland, which were curtailed in August 2002 and December
2005, respectively, totaling $135 million, or $0.13 per share; -
Discrete tax impacts totaling $112 million, or $0.11 per share,
primarily as a result of changes in federal health care laws; and -
Special items totaling $48 million, or $0.05 per share, for
mark-to-market changes in derivatives and the impact of power outages.
Results from continuing operations in the first quarter 2010 improved
$72 million over the fourth quarter 2009, driven by higher realized
prices for alumina and aluminum (+13 percent and +8 percent,
respectively) and productivity gains, which were partially offset by the
impact of LIFO, lower volumes and higher energy costs.
Alcoa continued to produce strong results in cash sustainability
initiatives in the areas of overhead, procurement, working capital and
capital expenditures. In the first quarter the Company generated $86
million in productivity through the program sequentially, helping to
produce strong quarterly EBITDA of $596 million. Cash sustainability
efforts helped improve the cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales
by 8.2 points from the fourth quarter 2009 to 82.1 percent. The Company
is on track to deliver its new increased 2010 annual cash sustainability
goals.
“Our performance continued to improve in the first quarter thanks to
higher realized prices and strong operational results,” said Klaus
Kleinfeld, Alcoa President and Chief Executive Officer. “Most of the
special items we reported are non-cash and include proactive decisions
to structurally improve the company’s profit potential.
“Our markets are gradually improving and both policy trends and consumer
sentiment bode well for aluminum demand. Just a few days ago, the U.S.
finalized new rules that require increased fuel efficiency and for the
first time set greenhouse gas emissions standards for cars and light
trucks. In addition, a growing number of customers are requesting
sustainable products. Factors like these play to aluminum’s superior
advantages as a light, strong, versatile and infinitely recyclable
material.”
Revenues for the first quarter 2010 were $4.9 billion, a 10 percent
decrease from the fourth quarter of 2009. Higher realized prices were
offset by more normalized buy/re-sell activity compared to the fourth
quarter; lower shipments in alumina and primary metals; and the impact
of the Company’s strategy to improve long-term profitability in the
rigid packaging business. Revenues in the first quarter 2009 were $4.1
billion.
Net loss for the first quarter 2010 was $201 million, or $0.20 per
share, which includes the unfavorable impact of $295 million, or $0.29
per share, for restructuring and special charges. Net loss for the
fourth quarter 2009 was $277 million, or $0.28 per share, and net loss
for the first quarter 2009 was $497 million, or $0.61 per share.
Cash from operations in the quarter was $199 million and the Company
finished the first quarter 2010 with $1.3 billion of cash on hand. The
Company’s debt-to-capital ratio stood at 38.1 percent at the end of the
quarter, an improvement of 60-basis-points from fourth quarter 2009 and
a 250-basis-point improvement from first quarter 2009. Capital
expenditures in the quarter were $221 million, with approximately 60
percent related to growth projects.
Segment Results
Alumina
After-tax operating income (ATOI) in the first quarter was $72 million,
an increase of $53 million compared with $19 million in the fourth
quarter 2009. The prior period included a tax settlement related to an
equity investment in Brazil. A 13 percent increase in pricing and lower
costs driven by productivity, were partially offset by a power outage at
the Sao Luis refinery and higher Juruti start-up costs. Alumina
production in the first quarter declined 31 thousand metric tons (kmt)
to 3,866 kmt as the disruption at Sao Luis and maintenance outages in
Australia more than offset increases at Point Comfort. Also, third-party
shipments declined as more alumina was used to meet internal demand.
Primary Metals
ATOI in the first quarter was $123 million, an increase of $337 million
from the fourth quarter of 2009, which included $250 million in charges
related to the European Commission’s decision on electricity tariffs
affecting the Company’s Italian smelters. Higher LME prices and regional
premiums, combined with favorable currency movements and lower costs
driven by productivity drove the sequential improvement. Third-party
realized metal prices increased eight percent over the previous quarter.
Primary metal production for the quarter declined 8 kmt to 889 kmt.
Flat-Rolled Products
ATOI in the first quarter was $30 million, a sequential decrease of $7
million. Lower volumes related to Alcoa’s decision to curtail sales to a
North American can sheet customer negatively impacted the segment by $22
million. Improved pricing across many markets, including can sheet, and
capacity rationalization to bring costs in line with volumes more than
offset the impact of lower can sheet shipments.
Engineered Products and Solutions
ATOI in the first quarter was $81 million, up 42 percent sequentially
despite lower sales. Strong productivity gains and a modest improvement
in end-market conditions more than offset continued weakness in the
building and construction and industrial gas turbines markets.
Alcoa will hold its quarterly conference call at 5:00 PM Eastern Time on
April 12, 2010 to present the quarter’s results. The meeting will be
webcast via alcoa.com. Call information and related details are

Alcoa’s definition of EBITDA 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. EBITDA is a
non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is
meaningful to investors because EBITDA provides additional information
with respect to Alcoa’s operating performance and the Company’s ability
to meet its financial obligations. The EBITDA presented may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
