First Quarter 2023 Highlights
- Sales of $1.9 billion, down 12% year over year, up 6% organically, up 6% from prior quarter on a comparable basis excluding Russian Operations
- Net income of $25 million, or $0.24 per share, compared with $42 million, or $0.39 per share, in first quarter 2022
- Adjusted EBITDA of $157 million, up 8% from prior quarter on a comparable basis excluding Russian Operations
PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Arconic Corporation (NYSE: ARNC) (“Arconic” or the “Company”) today reported first quarter 2023 results. Sales were $1.9 billion, down 12% year over year and up 6% organically due to strength in aerospace, packaging, and ground transportation sales partially offset by weak industrial sales. The Company reported net income of $25 million, or $0.24 per share, compared with $42 million, or $0.39 per share, in first quarter 2022.
First quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA was $157 million, up 8% sequentially on a comparable basis excluding Russian Operations. Growth was driven by strength in aerospace, ground transportation, and the Building and Construction Systems segment partially offset by weakness in industrial sales. Cash used for operations was $39 million and capital expenditures were $82 million.
Tim Myers, Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our first quarter results were underpinned by improved operational performance. Aerospace market strength drove much of the growth and ground transportation sales continued to improve sequentially, and we optimized product mix and controlled costs in Europe.”

The above list of factors is not exhaustive or necessarily in order of importance. Market projections are subject to the risks discussed above and in this release, and other risks in the market. The statements in this release are made as of the date set forth above, even if subsequently made available by the Company on its website or otherwise. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the information included in this release is derived from Arconic’s consolidated financial information but is not presented in Arconic’s financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Certain of these financial measures are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement our GAAP disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as determined in accordance with GAAP, and investors should consider Arconic’s performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of Arconic. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures presented by Arconic may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and management’s rationale for the use of the non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the schedules to this release. Arconic has not provided reconciliations of any forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because 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 metal price lag, 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. Arconic believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Arconic recorded both a $74 charge and a $74 benefit in Cost of goods sold to establish a liability for a settlement in principle and a receivable for insurance reimbursement, respectively, related to a litigation matter. In the quarter ended December 31, 2022, Arconic recorded both a $61 charge and a $53 benefit in Cost of goods sold to establish a liability for a then-potential settlement and a receivable for an anticipated insurance reimbursement, respectively, related to a litigation matter. |
|

On November 15, 2022, Arconic completed the sale of 100% of its operations in Russia to Promishlennie Investitsii LLC, the majority owner of VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation, for cash proceeds of $230. The transaction closed after the Company received all required approvals, resulting in the receipt of the cash consideration in exchange for all of Arconic’s net assets in Russia. These net assets included $203 of cash held in Russia that was not available for distribution to the parent company because of injunctions imposed as a result of litigation initiated in March 2020 by the Federal Antimonopoly Service of The Russian Federation (“FAS”). The Company recorded a loss of $306 ($304 after-tax) in the fourth quarter of 2022 in connection with this transaction. At a hearing on December 22, 2022, the Samara Court dismissed the litigation. |
|
In addition, in the quarter ended December 31, 2022, Restructuring and other charges includes $31 related to the settlement of a portion of the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan obligations as a result of elections by certain plan participants to receive lump-sum benefit payments. |
||
(3) |
Prior to the sale of Arconic’s operations in Russia (see footnote 2), VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation owned a limited portion of one of the legal entities included in the sale. VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation’s share of net income (loss) of this legal entity was reported in this line item. Subsequent to the sale, there is no longer a noncontrolling interest in Arconic Corporation and its subsidiaries. |
|
(4) |
For periods in which the Company generates net income, the diluted weighted-average number of shares include common share equivalents associated with outstanding employee stock awards. For periods in which the Company generates a net loss, the diluted weighted-average number of shares does not include any common share equivalents as their effect is anti-dilutive. |

Arconic has two separate arrangements, each with a single financial institution, to sell certain customer receivables outright without recourse on a continuous basis. All such sales are at the Company’s discretion. The first arrangement, which was executed in January 2022, relates to certain of Arconic’s U.S. operations and automatically renews each year unless terminated in accordance with the provisions of the underlying purchase agreement. The second arrangement, which was executed in July 2022, relates to certain of the Company’s European operations. Under both arrangements, Arconic serves in an administrative capacity, including collection of the receivables from the respective customers and remittance of these cash collections to the respective financial institution. Accordingly, upon the sale of customer receivables to the financial institutions, the Company removes the underlying trade receivables from its Consolidated Balance Sheet and includes the reduction as a positive amount in the (Increase) in receivables line item within Operating Activities on its Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. In the quarters ended March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022, the Company sold customer receivables of $151, $156, and $221, respectively, collected cash from customers of $129, $314, and $158, respectively, and remitted cash to the financial institutions of $116, $314, and $158, respectively. |
|
(3) |
Arconic maintains a five-year credit agreement, dated May 13, 2020, with a syndicate of lenders named therein and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch as administrative agent (the “ABL Credit Agreement”). The ABL Credit Agreement provides for a $1,200 senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) to be used, generally, for working capital or other general corporate purposes. In the quarters ended March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022, the Company borrowed $150, $25, and $100, respectively, and in the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, repaid $100 and $175, respectively, under the ABL Credit Facility. |
|

On November 16, 2022, Arconic announced that its Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock up to an aggregate transactional value of $200 over a two-year period expiring November 17, 2024. In the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 35,615 and 2,071,835, respectively, shares of its common stock under this program. |
|
In the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 505,982 shares of its common stock under its previous share repurchase program, which was authorized in May 2021 and completed in August 2022. Cumulatively, the Company repurchased 9,776,177 shares of its common stock for $300 under this program. In connection with the authorization of the new program, Arconic’s previous repurchase program was terminated. |
||
(5) |
In the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company received $230 in cash proceeds related to the sale of its operations in Russia less $203 in cash held by its operations in Russia that was not available for distribution to the parent company because of injunctions imposed as a result of litigation initiated in March 2020. See footnote 2 to the Statement of Consolidated Operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 included in this release. |

Arconic’s profit or loss measure for its reportable segments is Segment Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization). The Company calculates Segment Adjusted EBITDA as Total sales (third-party and intersegment) minus each of (i) Cost of goods sold, (ii) Selling, general administrative, and other expenses, and (iii) Research and development expenses, plus each of (i) Stock-based compensation expense, (ii) Metal price lag (see footnote 3), and (iii) Unrealized (gains) losses on mark-to-market hedging instruments and derivatives. Arconic’s Segment Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies’ reportable segments. |
|
Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the sum of the respective Segment Adjusted EBITDA for each of the Company’s three reportable segments: Rolled Products, Building and Construction Systems, and Extrusions. This amount is being presented for the sole purpose of reconciling Segment Adjusted EBITDA to the Company’s Consolidated net income (loss). |
||
(2) |
Corporate expenses are composed of general administrative and other expenses of operating the corporate headquarters and other global administrative facilities. |
|
(3) |
Metal price lag represents the financial impact of the timing difference between when aluminum prices included in Sales are recognized and when aluminum purchase prices included in Cost of goods sold are realized. This adjustment aims to remove the effect of the volatility in metal prices and the calculation of this impact considers applicable metal hedging transactions. |
|
(4) |
See footnote 2 to the Statement of Consolidated Operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 included in this release. |
|
(5) |
Other includes certain items that impact Cost of goods sold and Selling, general administrative, and other expenses on the Company’s Statement of Consolidated Operations that are not included in Segment Adjusted EBITDA, including those described as “Other special items” (see footnote 4 to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA within Calculation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures included in this release). |

Arconic’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for the following items: Provision for depreciation and amortization; Stock-based compensation; Metal price lag (see footnote 3); Unrealized (gains) losses on mark-to-market hedging instruments and derivatives; and Other special items. 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. Special items are composed of restructuring and other charges, discrete income tax items, and other items as deemed appropriate by management. There can be no assurances that additional special items will not occur in future periods. Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to Arconic’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. |

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA included in this release for (i) the Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA and (ii) management’s rationale for the presentation of this non-GAAP measure. The “As reported” column presents a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. |
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA excluding Russian operations is also a non-GAAP financial measure. On November 15, 2022, Arconic completed the sale of 100% of its operations in Russia (see footnote 2 to the Statement of Consolidated Operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 included in this release). Accordingly, management believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA excluding Russian operations is meaningful to investors because such measure provides context as to the contribution made by the Company’s former operations in Russia relative to Arconic’s total financial performance. Additionally, this measure provides a historical basis with which to compare the Company’s financial performance in future periods. |
|
|
The “Russia” column presents the unaudited combined financial information of Arconic’s subsidiaries that held the Company’s former operations in Russia prepared from the historical accounting records of these legal entities. This information is not equivalent to that which would be presented as consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America if these subsidiaries were to be presented as a standalone consolidated reporting entity. Other amounts related to Arconic’s former operations in Russia recorded in the historical accounting records of other legal entities included in the Company’s consolidated group, such as the loss on the sale of the previously mentioned former subsidiaries recorded by the direct parent company of these legal entities, were presented in the “As recast” column. However, the amount presented as Adjusted EBITDA excluding Russian operations is the same whether these amounts related to Arconic’s former operations in Russia are presented in the “Russia” column or the “As recast” column. |
|
|
The amounts in the “As recast” column are equal to the amounts in the “As reported” column less the amounts in the “Russia” column. Consequently, there are limitations in the usefulness of the amounts presented in the “As recast” column for Net (loss) income attributable to Arconic Corporation and (Benefit) Provision for income taxes. For example, the (Benefit) Provision for income taxes would need to be recalculated on a “without” approach to consider the consolidated company excluding the former operations in Russia, the impact of which may extend beyond subtracting the amount for (Benefit) Provision for income taxes presented in the “Russia” column from the consolidated amount in the “As reported” column. Conversely, the amount presented for Adjusted EBITDA excluding Russia does not contain any such limitations. |

Arconic’s definition of working capital is Receivables plus Inventories less Accounts payable, trade. |

Other includes the impact of metal price lag as follows: 1Q23-$—; 4Q22-$8; 3Q22-$15; 2Q22-$30; and 1Q22-$(36). See footnote 3 to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA included in this release for additional information on metal price lag. |
|
(4) |
Arconic’s definition of Free Cash Flow is Cash from operations less capital expenditures. 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, which are both necessary to maintain and expand the Company’s asset base and 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. |

Organic revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is meaningful to investors as it presents revenue on a comparable basis for all periods presented due to the impact of divestitures, changes in aluminum prices and foreign currency fluctuations relative to the prior year period.
