Lightweight metals leader Alcoa (NYSE:AA) today reported strong first
quarter 2015 profits. The Company’s strategy of building its value-add
portfolio and creating a globally competitive commodity business is
delivering results.
Alcoa reported first quarter 2015 net income of $195 million, or $0.14
per share, including $158 million in restructuring-related charges
(approximately 90 percent non-cash), mostly to optimize the Company’s
portfolio. Year-over-year, first quarter 2015 results compare to a net
loss of $178 million, or $0.16 per share.
Excluding the impact of all special items, first quarter 2015 net income
jumped to $363 million, or $0.28 per share, from $98 million, or $0.09
per share, in the year-ago period.
First quarter 2015 revenues rose 7 percent to $5.8 billion, from $5.5
billion in first quarter 2014. The revenue increase resulted principally
from organic growth, driven by strong automotive and aerospace volume.
Positive market effects in the quarter were offset by capacity
reductions and portfolio changes.
“First quarter results show our transformation is moving at ongoing high
speed and is fully on course,” said Klaus Kleinfeld, Alcoa Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. “We are organically and inorganically
broadening our innovative, multi-material value-add businesses, bringing
new capabilities and materials to our aerospace and automotive
offerings, and taking swift action in the upstream, making it more
competitive. We are pulling on all levers to create sustainable
shareholder value.”
End Market Growth Remains Steady
Alcoa is holding steady its 2015 growth projections for the aerospace,
automotive, building and construction, industrial gas turbine and
packaging end markets.
The Company expects robust global aerospace sales growth of 9 to 10
percent in 2015 driven by strong deliveries across the large commercial
aircraft, regional jet and business jet segments. 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. The Company is also
projecting 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 sees increasing orders in the North American heavy duty truck and
trailer market, and projects 6 to 8 percent growth for 2015, up from 3
to 7 percent in the previous forecast. However, with weakness in China,
Europe and Brazil, the global heavy duty truck and trailer market is
projected to decline 2 to 4 percent for the year.
Given final 2014 worldwide aluminum demand, Alcoa has upwardly revised
its view of global aluminum demand growth in 2014 to 9 percent, an
increase from the prior forecast of 7 percent. This results in global
consumption of 54 million metric tons, or 1.2 million metric tons higher
than previously forecast. Alcoa continues to project further robust
global aluminum demand growth in 2015 of approximately 3.5 million
metric tons, equaling 6.5 percent growth and reaching a new record high
of 57.5 million metric tons.
Value-Add Portfolio Transformation
Alcoa advanced its strategy to build its innovative value-add portfolio,
both organically and inorganically, in the first quarter.
Alcoa acquired TITAL, expanding the Company’s titanium casting
capabilities into Europe, with strong customer relationships. TITAL’s
titanium revenues are expected to increase by 70 percent over the next
five years; approximately 70 percent of TITAL’s revenues are expected to
come from commercial aerospace sales in 2019.
The Company’s integration of Firth Rixson is fully on track. Firth
Rixson is expected to increase Alcoa’s revenues by $1.6 billion with an
additional $350 million EBITDA in 2016.
Alcoa announced it is acquiring titanium leader RTI International Metals
to further grow its titanium offerings and to complement its mid and
downstream value chain. RTI will grow Alcoa’s advanced technologies for
greater innovation power and broaden the Company’s multi-material
product suite to meet growing aerospace demand for titanium. RTI will
increase Alcoa’s 2014 pro forma aerospace revenues by 13 percent to $5.6
billion. It is also expected to contribute $1.2 billion in revenues in
2019, up from $794 million that RTI generated in 2014. RTI’s
profitability is expected to reach 25 percent EBITDA margin in 2019.
Alcoa expects to complete the acquisition in two to five months upon
obtaining all required regulatory clearances and RTI shareholder
approval.
To meet growing European demand for the Company’s innovative wheels,
Alcoa doubled capacity in Hungary to produce lightweight, durable,
low-maintenance Dura-Bright® EVO surface-treated aluminum
truck wheels. The wheels, which were launched on March 27 in North
America after the successful European debut, are 10 times more corrosive
resistant than their predecessor, the Dura-Bright wheel with XBR®
technology, easier to clean and look newer longer. The total global
aluminum commercial vehicle wheel market is expected to increase from 30
percent of the total market in 2010 to 50 percent in 2018.
In the midstream, Alcoa continued to take steps to further optimize and
improve the competitiveness and profitability of its rolling mill
business. To focus the rolled products segment on selling highly
differentiated products in growth markets, the Company sold its Belaya
Kalitva, Russia facility to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stupino
Titanium Company. All regulatory approvals were obtained and the sale
closed on March 31. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. In
North America, Alcoa’s automotive expansion in Davenport, IA fully
ramped up and shipped record amounts of automotive sheet to meet growing
customer demand. Alcoa’s automotive expansion in Tennessee is on track
to be completed by mid-2015.
Upstream Portfolio Transformation
In the upstream, Alcoa remains on course to lower the cost base of its
commodity businesses through upgrades and smelting and refining capacity
reductions. In the first quarter, the Company announced:
-
A strategic review over the next 12 months of 500,000 metric tons of
smelting capacity and 2.8 million metric tons of refining capacity for
possible curtailment, closure or sale; -
Plans to curtail the remaining 74,000 metric tons of smelting capacity
in Brazil at São Luís (Alumar) by April 15, increasing the amount of
smelting capacity offline to 21 percent; -
Plans to curtail 443,000 metric tons of refining capacity at the
Suralco facility by April 30, and pursue a transaction for a Suriname
government-owned entity to acquire the Suralco operations; and -
It converted its San Ciprian alumina refinery in Spain to natural gas
from fuel oil to increase its competitiveness.
Additionally, Alcoa of Australia Limited today secured a new 12-year gas
supply agreement to power its alumina refineries in Western Australia
(WA). Combined with a number of smaller agreements, Alcoa of Australia
now has secured approximately 75 percent of its WA natural gas
requirement, replacing existing long-term contracts which expire at the
end of the decade. The agreement is conditional on a consortium
comprising Brookfield Asset Management Inc. and Macquarie Capital Group
Limited completing the acquisition of Apache Energy Limited’s WA oil and
gas assets from Apache Corporation. As part of the gas supply
arrangements, Alcoa of Australia will make a prepayment of $500 million
in two installments—$300 million on financial close of the Apache asset
sale in 2015 and $200 million in 2016.
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
Alcoa achieved $238 million in year-over-year productivity gains against
a $900 million annual target, driven by process improvements and
procurement savings across all businesses. Alcoa managed return-seeking
capital of $150 million against a $750 million annual target and
controlled sustaining capital expenditures of $101 million against a
$725 million annual plan.
Free cash flow for the quarter was a negative $422 million, with cash
used for operations of $175 million, driven by the normal build in
working capital, semi-annual interest payments, and pension
contributions. Alcoa ended the quarter with cash on hand of $1.2 billion.
The Company achieved an average of 33 days working capital for the
quarter, 3 days higher than first quarter 2014 due to the impact of
acquisitions. Alcoa’s debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio on a trailing twelve
months basis was 2.22.
Segment Performance
Engineered Products and Solutions
After-tax operating income (ATOI) was a first quarter record of $191
million, up $2 million, or 1 percent, year-over-year, and up $26
million, or 16 percent, sequentially. Year-over-year, productivity
improvements and higher volumes in aerospace, commercial transportation
and North American non-residential construction markets were offset by
unfavorable price/mix and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates.
Adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.1 percent in first quarter 2015 compared
to 22.2 percent in the year-ago quarter.
Global Rolled Products
ATOI in the first quarter was $34 million compared to $59 million in the
first quarter of 2014, and $71 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Year-over-year, this segment’s profits decreased by 42 percent as market
pressures in packaging and metal price lag more than offset record
shipments in automotive. Strong productivity, higher volumes in the
North American packaging market and record shipments in the automotive
market from the Davenport expansion were more than offset by lack of
metal premium pass-through in the Russia packaging market and pricing
headwinds in global packaging. The segment also experienced increased
research and development costs for the MicromillTM and
ramp-up costs for the rolling mill in Saudi Arabia. Adjusted EBITDA per
metric ton was $280 in first quarter 2015 compared to $315 in first
quarter 2014.
Alumina
ATOI in the first quarter was $221 million, up $43 million sequentially
from $178 million, and up $129 million year-over-year from $92 million.
The increase in sequential ATOI was due to favorable foreign currency
exchange rates and energy costs, partially offset by lower volumes and
unfavorable London Metal Exchange (LME)-linked pricing. Adjusted EBITDA
per metric ton increased $17 from fourth quarter 2014 to $102 per metric
ton in first quarter 2015.
Primary Metals
ATOI in the first quarter was $187 million, down $80 million
sequentially from $267 million, but up $202 million from negative $15
million in first quarter 2014. Third-party realized price in first
quarter 2015 was $2,420 per metric ton, down 6 percent sequentially, but
up 10 percent year-over-year. Sequential earnings declined due to a
lower LME aluminum price, lower energy sales, mostly due to new rate
caps in Brazil, and higher alumina costs. These factors were partially
offset by favorable foreign currency exchange rates, lower energy costs
in Spain and productivity improvements. Adjusted EBITDA per metric ton
was $499, $130 per metric ton lower than fourth quarter 2014.

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

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 first quarter of 2015, an adjustment of $275 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 second 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 three months ended March 31, 2014 was revised to conform to the current period presentation. |
|
|
(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. This transaction was not reflected in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as it represents a noncash financing activity. |
|
|
(3) |
Proceeds from the sale of assets and businesses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was a cash outflow as this line item includes cash paid as a result of post-closing adjustments associated with the December 2014 divestiture of three rolling mills in Spain and France. |

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 (loss) income attributable
to Alcoa determined under GAAP as well as Net income attributable to
Alcoa – as adjusted.

Discrete tax items include the following: | |
|
• |
for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, a charge for the |
|
|
• |
for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, a net benefit for a number |
|
|
(2) |
Other special items include the following: | |
|
• |
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); |
|
|
• |
for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, 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 ($81), a favorable tax impact related to the interim period treatment of operational losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized ($44), costs associated with current and future acquisitions of aerospace businesses ($22), and a net favorable change in certain mark-to-market energy derivative contracts ($2); and |
|
|
• |
for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, 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 ($72), an unfavorable tax impact related to the interim period treatment of operational losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized ($56), a write-down of inventory related to the permanent closure of a smelter and two rolling mills in Australia and a smelter in the United States ($20), 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 ($13), a gain on the sale of a mining interest in Suriname ($11), and a loss on the write-down of an asset to fair value ($2). |
|
|
(3) |
The average number of shares applicable to diluted EPS for Net (loss) 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 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 outstanding employee stock options and awards for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and mandatory convertible preferred stock for the quarters ended December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015. As a result, the average number of shares applicable to diluted EPS for Net income attributable to Alcoa – as adjusted was 1,115,941,470; 1,294,701,805; and 1,315,558,890 for the quarters ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2014, and March 31, 2015, respectively. 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 quarters ended December 31, 2014 and 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, and amortization) 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. 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.

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.
