________________________________________________________________________________

1 The Arconic segments described in this release consist of Alcoa’s existing Value-Add segments: Global Rolled Products, Engineered Products and Solutions, and Transportation and Construction Solutions. The Alcoa Corporation segments described herein consist of the existing Upstream segments: Alumina and Primary Metals. Until the separation is effected, financial information about the future Arconic and Alcoa Corporation companies herein relates solely to the Value-Add and Upstream segments, respectively, and does not include any of the corporate-related items that are currently presented in Alcoa’s Reconciliation of Total Segment ATOI to Consolidated Net Income. Following the separation, the rolling mill operations in Warrick, IN and Saudi Arabia (which are currently in the Global Rolled Products segment) will belong to Alcoa Corporation.

________________________________________________________________________________

Lightweight metals leader Alcoa (NYSE:AA) today reported third quarter
2016 results. In spite of near-term market challenges, Arconic segments
reported combined year-over-year profit growth, and Alcoa Corporation
segments, Alumina and Primary Metals, maintained profitability
sequentially despite continued low alumina and aluminum pricing by
proactively managing costs and capacity. The Company’s separation is
scheduled to become effective before the opening of the market on
November 1, 2016.

”Alcoa steered steady and showed resilience in spite of near-term market
challenges,” said Klaus Kleinfeld, Alcoa Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer. “Profits grew in the combined Arconic segments, and Alcoa
Corporation segments managed successfully to stay profitable in a low
pricing environment. Productivity across the portfolio was exceptional,
and paired with non-essential asset sales, further strengthened our cash
position. Arconic’s results underline its strong position in higher
margin markets where innovation, technology, process skills and cost
focus pay off even under demanding circumstances, whereas Alcoa
Corporation proved to be successful in spite of challenging market
conditions. The strength of both future companies is the result of our
multi-year strategy and allows us to launch two strong, independent
entities.”

Kleinfeld continued, “Alcoa Corporation segments have met or exceeded
their respective 2016 global cost curve goals. The aluminum business now
sits at the 38th percentile – from the 51st percentile in 2010, 43rd in
2013 – and the alumina business has moved down to the 17th percentile –
from the 30th percentile in 2010, 27th in 2013. The Arconic segments are
adjusting their targets to reflect current economic realities in their
relevant industries. Looking ahead, fundamentals in key markets remain
very solid; commercial aerospace demand is strong with an order book in
excess of nine years and the aluminization in automotive continues. We
are well positioned to further increase our market position and
profitably grow.”

Alcoa reported third quarter 2016 net income of $166 million, or $0.33
per share, including a net $5 million in income related to special items
primarily associated with the sale of non-essential land offset by
separation costs and associated tax impacts. Year over year, third
quarter 2016 results compare to net income of $44 million, or $0.06 per
share in the third quarter of 2015.

Excluding the impact of special items, third quarter 2016 net income was
$161 million, or $0.32 per share. Year over year, all segments
contributed a combined $246 million (after-tax) in productivity gains,
partially offset by lower alumina pricing, cost increases, unfavorable
price and product mix, and unfavorable currency impacts. In third
quarter 2015, Alcoa reported net income excluding special items of $109
million, or $0.21 per share.

The third quarter effective tax rate of 44 percent was affected by
special items during the quarter, including certain non-deductible
expenses related to the separation and tax costs associated with the
previously-completed sale of the company-owned life insurance policies.
Excluding the impact of all special items, the quarterly tax rate on
operating results was 30 percent.

Year over year, the impact of curtailed and closed operations, lower
alumina pricing and an unfavorable price and product mix resulted in
third quarter 2016 revenue of $5.2 billion, down 6 percent year over
year from $5.6 billion in the third quarter of 2015.

Asset Sales

In the third quarter, Alcoa completed the sale of the Intalco smelter
wharf and other excess property, in the state of Washington, for $120
million.

In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company expects other potential asset
sales of approximately $250 million. Gross proceeds from Company asset
sales completed in 2016 are expected to total approximately $1.2 billion.

Cash Flows

Alcoa ended third quarter 2016 with cash on hand of $1.9 billion. Cash
from operations was $306 million; free cash flow for the quarter was $31
million. Cash used for financing activities totaled $154 million in the
third quarter; cash used for investing activities was $220 million.

Market Update

Aerospace

The global aerospace market continues to undergo a transition as new
aero engine launches accelerate demand, outpacing near-term demand for
airframe components, which is being partially absorbed through
de-stocking. As a result, Alcoa forecasts full-year 2016 aircraft
deliveries to be flat to up 3 percent. Strong market fundamentals
continue to drive long- term demand.

Automotive

Alcoa continues to forecast global automotive production growth of 1 to
4 percent in 2016, unchanged from the prior quarter. This includes 1 to
2 percent growth in North America, where overall sales are up slightly,
and a strengthening outlook in China.

Commercial Transportation

Growth in the heavy duty truck, trailer and bus market in Europe and
China is expected to be mostly offset by continued production declines
in North America, setting the global production outlook at flat to 2
percent growth in 2016. This marks an improvement over the negative 4 to
negative 1 percent forecast in the second quarter of 2016.

Packaging, Building & Construction

The 2016 global packaging market is projected to be up slightly for the
year, with growth of 2 to 3 percent, up slightly from the prior
quarter’s forecast of 1 to 3 percent. The global building and
construction market is projected to grow 4 to 6 percent in 2016,
unchanged from the second quarter.

Industrial Gas Turbines

Low natural gas prices in North America and the adoption of new,
high-efficiency industrial gas turbine models continue to drive orders
for both heavy-duty gas turbines and spare parts. Alcoa projects global
airfoil market growth to be 2 to 4 percent for 2016, unchanged from the
prior quarter.

Alumina & Aluminum

For 2016, Alcoa projects a global alumina deficit of 1.6 million metric
tons. The Company also continues to project a global aluminum deficit of
615 thousand metric tons in 2016 as 5 percent global aluminum demand
growth surpasses 3 percent global aluminum supply growth.

Arconic Overview

After the Company’s separation, the innovation and technology-driven
Arconic will include Global Rolled Products (other than the rolling mill
operations in Warrick, Indiana, and Saudi Arabia, which will move to
Alcoa Corporation), Engineered Products and Solutions and Transportation
and Construction Solutions. In third quarter 2016, these Arconic
segments reported combined revenue of $3.4 billion, ATOI of $267 million
and adjusted EBITDA of $517 million.

ATOI and adjusted EBITDA increased 4 percent and 2 percent,
respectively, year over year. The combined Arconic segments also
generated $187 million in productivity as part of their business
improvement programs, announced in the first quarter of 2016. Arconic
segments are on track to deliver $650 million productivity savings in
2016.

Arconic Segments Target Update

2

Alcoa is providing new full-year 2016 goals to reflect near-term
industry challenges and foreign exchange impacts. In aerospace, this
includes an unprecedented industry ramp-up to new platforms, destocking
and supply chain optimization in airframes.

  • Global Rolled Products targets revenue of $4.8 billion to $5.0 billion
    for full year 2016. This is revised from $5.0 billion to $5.2 billion
    for full year 2016, a target adjusted from the earlier $6.0 billion to
    $6.2 billion to reflect the transfer of the rolling mill in Warrick,
    Indiana, to the future Alcoa Corporation; the impact of a tolling
    arrangement between Alcoa Corporation and Arconic for can body sheet
    at Tennessee Operations; and the updated impact for changes in both
    the London Metal Exchange aluminum price and foreign currency exchange
    rate assumptions versus 2013. The goal for adjusted EBITDA per metric
    ton remains unchanged at or above average historical highs of $344.
  • Engineered Products and Solutions targets revenue of $5.6 billion to
    $5.8 billion for full year 2016, revised from $5.9 billion to $6.1
    billion, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 21 percent,
    revised from 21 to 22 percent.
  • Transportation and Construction Solutions targets revenue of $1.7
    billion to $1.8 billion, revised from $2.1 billion, and an adjusted
    EBITDA margin of approximately 15 percent, which remains unchanged.

With respect to the information under “Arconic
Segments Target Update”, no reconciliation of the forecasted range for
adjusted EBITDA per metric ton or adjusted EBITDA margin on a segment
basis for fiscal 2016 to the most directly comparable financial measures
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (GAAP) is included in this release because
we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be
included in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts and we believe
such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be
confusing or misleading to investors. In particular, reconciliation of
guidance for adjusted EBITDA per metric ton and adjusted EBITDA margin
to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without
unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the variability
and complexity with respect to the charges and other components excluded
from these non-GAAP measures, such as the effects of the Warrick cold
metal plan, foreign currency movements, equity income, gains or losses
on sales of assets, and taxes. These reconciling items are in addition
to the inherent variability already included in the GAAP measure which
includes, but is not limited to, price/mix, volume, and the impact of
the impending separation of Alcoa Inc.

Alcoa Corporation Overview

Following the Company’s separation, Alcoa Corporation will comprise
Bauxite, Alumina, Aluminum, Cast Products, and Energy – today’s Alumina
and Primary Metals segments – as well as the rolling mill operations in
Warrick, Indiana, and Saudi Arabia currently part of the Global Rolled
Products segment. In third quarter 2016, the Alumina and Primary Metals
segments reported revenue of $2.3 billion, ATOI of $128 million and
adjusted EBITDA of $318 million.

In the third quarter, Alcoa Corporation continued to successfully build
its third-party bauxite business. Alcoa World Alumina and Chemicals
(AWAC) signed new third-party bauxite contracts valued at $53 million
over the next two years for a total of $468 million year-to-date in
2016. The new contracts, which will triple Alcoa Corporation’s
third-party bauxite sales in 2016 from 2015, serve customers in China,
the United States, Europe and Brazil. AWAC is an unincorporated joint
venture that consists of a group of companies, which are owned 60
percent by Alcoa and 40 percent by Alumina Limited of Australia.

In addition, these segments generated $190 million in productivity in
the third quarter ($569 million year-to-date) as part of their business
improvement programs, and have together surpassed their $550 million
2016 target.

In the third quarter, Alcoa also reported that it had exceeded its
three-year 2016 target of moving down the global alumina cost curve. It
also achieved its global aluminum cost curve target.

The Company now occupies the 17th percentile on the global
alumina cost curve, 4 points better than target, and a 13-point
improvement from the 30th percentile in 2010. Alcoa has also
met its goal of moving to the 38th percentile on the global
aluminum cost curve, a 13-point improvement from the 51st
percentile in 2010.

Segment Information

Global Rolled Products

In the third quarter, Global Rolled Products reported ATOI of $58
million, compared to $62 million in the third quarter of 2015. Excluding
the $18 million impact of transforming the Warrick rolling mill into a
cold metal plant, the year-over-year change reflected a $14 million
improvement, up 23 percent. Strong productivity and higher volumes in
automotive more than offset cost increases, unfavorable product mix
across most market sectors and pricing pressure in global can sheet
packaging. Global Rolled Products continues to grow its automotive
business and had a record quarter for automotive sheet shipments, up 49
percent year over year.

Engineered Products and Solutions

In the third quarter, this segment reported revenue of $1.4 billion and
ATOI of $162 million. Year over year, revenue was up 1 percent driven by
the RTI acquisition. ATOI was up $11 million, or 7 percent, year over
year as productivity improvements in all business units and the positive
contribution from the RTI acquisition were mostly offset by unfavorable
price and product mix, cost headwinds and investments in growth projects.

Transportation and Construction Solutions

In the third quarter, Transportation and Construction Solutions
delivered ATOI of $47 million, up 7 percent year-over-year. Results were
driven by strong productivity, mostly offset by cost increases and lower
volume. Growth in this segment’s building and construction business was
more than offset by the performance of its commercial transportation
business, which continued to feel the impact of softness in the North
America heavy duty truck market.

Alumina

This segment generated ATOI of $72 million in the third quarter,
a decrease of $37 million from $109 million in the second quarter of
2016. This change was primarily driven by a 6 percent decrease in the
Alumina Price Index (API) and the unfavorable impact of foreign
currency, which were somewhat offset by an increase in third-party
alumina shipments and better price and mix.

Primary Metals

ATOI in the third quarter was $56 million, a $15 million sequential
improvement from $41 million in the second quarter of 2016. This
improvement was primarily due to cost reductions and higher metal
prices, partially offset by higher costs for alumina.

Separation Update

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has approved management’s plan
to separate the Alcoa Inc. pension plans between the future Arconic Inc.
and Alcoa Corporation. The agreement stipulates that Arconic will make
cash contributions over a period of 30 months to its two largest pension
funds. Payments are expected to be made in three increments of no less
than $50 million each over this 30-month period, with the first payment
due no later than six months after the separation of the Company.

In September 2016, Alcoa Nederland Holding B.V., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Alcoa Corporation, which is currently a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, closed its offering of $750,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of 6.75% senior notes due 2024 and $500,000,000
aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior notes due 2026. Alcoa
Corporation intends to use the proceeds from the offering to make a
payment to Arconic to fund the transfer of certain assets and for
general corporate purposes. The net proceeds from the offering will be
held in escrow until the completion of the separation and the
satisfaction of certain other escrow release conditions.

Alcoa received an Internal Revenue Service Private Letter Ruling to the
effect that Arconic’s retention of a 19.9 percent ownership stake in
Alcoa Corporation will not affect the tax-free status of the separation.

Also in September, Alcoa Inc. named
the members of the Boards of Directors
for the future Arconic Inc.
and Alcoa Corporation. The new boards will assume their responsibilities
upon completion of the Company’s separation. The Company announced that Michael
Morris
will serve as Chairman of Alcoa Corporation.

The Company’s separation is scheduled to become effective before the
opening of the market on November 1, 2016. The separation remains
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and may change if
certain conditions are not satisfied by that date, as described in Alcoa
Upstream Corporation’s preliminary information statement filed with the
Form 10.

Alcoa will hold its quarterly conference call at 8:30 AM Eastern
Daylight Time on October 11, 2016 to present quarterly results. The
meeting will be webcast via alcoa.com. Call information and related
details are available at

At a special meeting of Alcoa common shareholders held on October
5, 2016, shareholders approved a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of
Alcoa’s outstanding and authorized shares of common stock. The
reverse stock split became effective at 5 pm Eastern Time on
October 5, 2016. All share and per share data presented for all
periods herein has been updated to reflect the reverse stock split.

 

(2)

In order to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per share
for the quarters ended September 30, 2015, June 30, 2016, and
September 30, 2016, preferred stock dividends declared of $18,
$17, and $18, respectively, need to be subtracted from Net income
attributable to Alcoa. Additionally, in order to calculate diluted
earnings per share for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and
September 30, 2016, after-tax interest expense of $2 per quarter,
related to convertible debt (see footnote 4 below) needs to be
added back to Net income attributable to Alcoa.

 

(3)

In the third quarter of 2015, Alcoa issued 29 million (87 million
pre-reverse stock split – see footnote 1 above) shares of its
common stock to acquire RTI International Metals. As a result, the
basic number of shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2015
includes 19 million (58 million pre-reverse stock split – see
footnote 1 above) representing the weighted average number of
shares for the length of time the 29 million shares were
outstanding during the third quarter of 2015, and the basic
average number of shares for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and
September 30, 2016 includes all 29 million shares.

 

(4)

In the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the difference between
the diluted average number of shares and the basic average number
of shares relates to share equivalents associated with outstanding
employee stock options and awards. The diluted average number of
shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 does not include
any share equivalents related to convertible debt (acquired
through RTI International Metals) or the mandatory convertible
preferred stock as their effect was anti-dilutive. In the quarters
ended June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016, the difference between
the respective diluted average number of shares and the respective
basic average number of shares relates to share equivalents
associated with outstanding employee stock options and awards (4
million and 6 million, respectively) and convertible debt
(acquired through RTI International Metals) (9 million in both
periods). The respective diluted average number of shares for the
quarters ended June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 does not
include any share equivalents related to the mandatory convertible
preferred stock as their effect was anti-dilutive.

At a special meeting of Alcoa common shareholders held on October
5, 2016, shareholders approved a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of
Alcoa’s outstanding and authorized shares of common stock. The
reverse stock split became effective at 5 pm Eastern Time on
October 5, 2016. All share and per share data presented for all
periods herein has been updated to reflect the reverse stock split.

 

(2)

In order to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per share
for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, preferred
stock dividends declared of $52 need to be subtracted from Net
income attributable to Alcoa.

 

(3)

In the third quarter of 2015, Alcoa issued 29 million (87 million
pre-reverse stock split – see footnote 1 above) shares of its
common stock to acquire RTI International Metals. As a result, the
basic average number of shares for the nine months ended September
30, 2015 includes 7 million (20 million pre-reverse stock split –
see footnote 1 above) representing the weighted average number of
shares for the length of time the 29 million shares were
outstanding during the nine-month period of 2015, and the basic
average number of shares for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2016 includes all 29 million shares.

 

(4)

In both the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, the
difference between the respective diluted average number of shares
and the respective basic average number of shares relates to share
equivalents associated with outstanding employee stock options and
awards. The respective diluted average number of shares for both
the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 does not include
any share equivalents related to convertible debt (acquired
through RTI International Metals) or the mandatory convertible
preferred stock as their effect was anti-dilutive.

In September 2016, Alcoa Nederland Holding B.V., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Alcoa Upstream Corporation, which is currently a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Alcoa Inc., issued $1,250 in new senior
notes in preparation for the separation of Alcoa Inc. into two
standalone, publicly-traded companies (scheduled to become
effective before the opening of the market on November 1, 2016).
The net proceeds of $1,228 from the debt issuance, along with
additional cash on hand of $81, were required to be placed into
escrow contingent on the completion of the separation transaction.
The $81 represents the necessary cash to fund the redemption of
the notes, pay all regularly scheduled interest on the notes
through a specified date as defined in the notes, and a premium on
the principal of the notes if the separation has not been
completed by a certain time as defined in the notes.

 

(2)

In the first quarter of 2016, Alcoa adopted changes issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board to the presentation of debt
issuance costs, which require such costs to be classified as a
direct deduction from the carrying value of the related debt
liability on an entity’s balance sheet. As such, all debt issuance
costs were classified as a contra liability in the Long-term debt,
less amount due within one year line item on the September 30,
2016 Consolidated Balance Sheet. These changes are required to be
applied on a retrospective basis; therefore, the December 31, 2015
Consolidated Balance Sheet was updated to conform to the September
30, 2016 presentation. As a result, $51 of debt issuance costs
(previously reported in Other noncurrent assets) were reclassified
to the Long-term debt, less amount due within one year line item
on the December 31, 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

(3)

Effective August 2, 2016, Alcoa’s Board of Directors approved the
retirement of all common shares held in treasury (76 million). As
a result, Common stock and Additional capital were decreased by
$76 and $2,563 to reflect the retirement of the treasury shares.

 

(4)

At a special meeting of Alcoa common shareholders held on October
5, 2016, shareholders approved a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of
Alcoa’s outstanding and authorized shares of common stock. The
reverse stock split became effective at 5 pm Eastern Time on
October 5, 2016. The par value of Alcoa’s common stock remains
unchanged at $1 per share. Accordingly, the Common stock and
Additional capital balances above were updated to reflect a
decrease and increase, respectively, of $877 as if the reverse
stock split occurred on September 30, 2016.

(1)   The (Increase) in noncurrent assets line item for the nine months
ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 includes a $300 and $200,
respectively, prepayment related to a natural gas supply agreement
for three alumina refineries in Western Australia, which are owned
by Alcoa’s majority-owned subsidiary, Alcoa of Australia Limited.
 
(2) In September 2016, Alcoa Nederland Holding B.V., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Alcoa Upstream Corporation, which is currently a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Alcoa Inc., issued $1,250 in new senior
notes in preparation for the separation of Alcoa Inc. into two
standalone, publicly-traded companies (scheduled to become effective
before the opening of the market on November 1, 2016). The net
proceeds of $1,228 from the debt issuance, along with additional
cash on hand of $81 (see below), were required to be placed into
escrow contingent on the completion of the separation transaction.
As a result, the $1,228 was not reflected in the Statement of
Consolidated Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016
as it represents a noncash financing activity. The $81 represents
the necessary cash to fund the redemption of the notes, pay all
regularly scheduled interest on the notes through a specified date
defined in the notes, and a premium on the principal of the notes if
the separation has not been completed by a certain time as defined
in the notes. As this amount was deposited into escrow from cash on
hand, it was reflected in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as a cash outflow in
the Net change in restricted cash line item.
 
(3) In the third quarter of 2015, Alcoa issued 87 million shares of its
common stock valued at $870 to acquire RTI International Metals. The
issuance of common stock was not reflected in the Statement of
Consolidated Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015
as it represents a noncash investing activity. However, through this
acquisition, Alcoa acquired $302 in cash, which was reflected as a
cash inflow in the Acquisitions, net of cash acquired line item on
the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 2015.
 
(4) Proceeds from the sale of assets and businesses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 includes a cash outflow for cash
paid as a result of post-closing adjustments associated with the
December 2014 divestiture of three rolling mills in Spain and France
and the December 2014 divestiture of an ownership stake in a smelter
in the United States, respectively.

The difference between certain segment totals and consolidated
amounts is in Corporate.
 
(1) Total segment ATOI is the summation of the respective ATOI of
Alcoa’s five reportable segments, which represent the two components
of the Company, an Upstream business and a Value-Add business.
Upstream is composed of the Alumina and Primary Metals segments and
Value-Add is composed of the Global Rolled Products, Engineered
Products and Solutions, and Transportation and Construction
Solutions segments. As such, in all periods presented, ATOI of the
Upstream business is equivalent to the summation of the respective
ATOI of the Alumina and Primary Metals segments, and, likewise, ATOI
of the Value-Add business is equivalent to the summation of the
respective ATOI of the Global Rolled Products, Engineered Products
and Solutions, and Transportation and Construction Solutions
segments.
 
On September 29, 2016, Alcoa announced that its Board of Directors
approved the completion of the Company’s separation into two
standalone, publicly-traded companies. The separation is scheduled
to become effective before the opening of the market on November 1,
2016. One such company will be named Alcoa Corporation and will
include Upstream. Additionally, the future Alcoa Corporation will
include the Warrick, IN rolling operations and the equity interest
in the rolling mill at the joint venture in Saudi Arabia, both of
which are currently part of the Global Rolled Products segment of
Alcoa Inc. The other such company will be named Arconic and will
include Value-Add, except for the Warrick, IN rolling operations and
the equity interest in the rolling mill at the joint venture in
Saudi Arabia.

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

(1)   In the second quarter of 2016, management changed the manner in
which special items are presented in Alcoa’s reconciliation of
Adjusted Income. This change resulted in special items being
presented on a pretax basis and the related tax and noncontrolling
interests impacts on special items being aggregated into separate
respective line items. The special items for all prior periods
presented were updated to conform to the current period presentation.
 
(2) Discrete tax items include the following:

for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a net charge for a number
of small items;

for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, a benefit for one item; and

for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, a net charge for a number
of small items.
 
(3) Other special items include the following:

for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a gain on the sale of land
in the United States and an equity investment in a China rolling
mill ($39), a write-down of inventory related to a refinery in
Suriname ($28), 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 ($27),
costs associated with the planned separation of Alcoa and the
acquisition of RTI International Metals ($25), a net unfavorable
change in certain mark-to-market energy derivative contracts ($17),
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 ($16);

for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, 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 ($60), costs associated with the planned separation of
Alcoa ($45), a gain on the sale of an equity investment in a natural
gas pipeline in Australia ($27), a benefit for an arbitration
recovery related to a 2010 fire at the Iceland smelter ($14), a
favorable tax impact related to the interim period treatment of
operational losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax
benefit was recognized ($11), a net unfavorable change in certain
mark-to-market energy derivative contracts ($6), and a write-down of
inventory related to two previously curtailed facilities ($3); and

for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, a gain on the sale of
land ($118), costs associated with the planned separation of Alcoa
($55), 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 ($46), a
favorable post-closing adjustment related to the November 2014
acquisition of Firth Rixson ($20), a favorable tax impact related
to the interim period treatment of operational losses in certain
foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized
($13), and a net favorable change in certain mark-to-market energy
derivative contracts ($1).

 
(4) The tax impact on special items is based on the applicable statutory
rates whereby the difference between such rates and Alcoa’s
consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate is itself a special
item (see footnote 3 above). The noncontrolling interests impact on
special items represents Alcoa’s partners’ share of certain special
items.
 
(5) At a special meeting of Alcoa common shareholders held on October 5,
2016, shareholders approved a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of Alcoa’s
outstanding and authorized shares of common stock. The reverse stock
split became effective at 5 pm Eastern Time on October 5, 2016. All
share and per share data presented for all periods herein has been
updated to reflect the reverse stock split.
 
The average number of shares applicable to diluted EPS for Net
income attributable to Alcoa common shareholders excludes certain
share equivalents as their effect was anti-dilutive (see footnote 4
to the Statement of Consolidated Operations). However, certain of
these share equivalents may become dilutive in the EPS calculation
applicable to Net income attributable to Alcoa common shareholders –
as adjusted due to a larger and/or positive numerator. Specifically:

Operational Tax Rate 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 the Effective Tax Rate determined under GAAP as well as
the Operational Tax Rate.

description of special items.

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.

and Provision for depreciation, depletion, and amortization. The Other
line in the table above includes gains/losses on asset sales and other
nonoperating items. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.

September 29, 2016, Alcoa announced that its Board of Directors
approved the completion of the Company’s separation into two
standalone, publicly-traded companies. One such company will be
named Alcoa Corporation and will include Upstream. Additionally, the
future Alcoa Corporation will include the Warrick, IN rolling
operations and the equity interest in the rolling mill at the joint
venture in Saudi Arabia, both of which are currently part of the
Global Rolled Products segment of Alcoa Inc. See Segment Information

(1)   Value-Add is composed of the Global Rolled Products, Engineered
Products and Solutions, and Transportation and Construction
Solutions segments. On September 29, 2016, Alcoa announced that its
Board of Directors approved the completion of the Company’s

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.
