¹ Arconic’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation 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 and amortization. The Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

_______________________________________

Arconic Inc. (NYSE: ARNC) today reported results for the first quarter 2017, in which the Company reported revenue of $3.2 billion, up 4.5 percent year over year, driven by higher volumes across all segments. The impact of higher aluminum prices was more than offset by the Company’s ramp down from the North American packaging business at its Tennessee operations. Excluding the impact of the Tennessee packaging ramp down, revenues were up 8 percent year over year².

Net income was $322 million, or $0.65 per share. The results reflect $153 million in special items, including a gain on the sale of Alcoa Corporation shares, somewhat offset by non-cash charges related to the divestiture of a rolling mill in Fusina, Italy [link here].

Excluding special items, first quarter 2017 adjusted income was $169 million, or $0.33 per share; key factors included higher volumes across Arconic than the year-ago quarter, strong gross cost reduction savings and net cost savings, which were partially offset by unfavorable mix and price, predominately in aerospace. Annualized return on net assets (RONA) was 8.9 percent for the first quarter.

First quarter consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, excluding special items, was $485 million, up 11 percent year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin, excluding special items, was 15.2 percent, up 90 basis points year over year.

"Solid performance, strong net cost reduction and some additional tailwinds allowed Arconic to deliver a stronger than anticipated first quarter of 2017,” said Arconic Interim Chief Executive Officer David Hess. “The aerospace market is continuing its transition to new platforms where we are strongly positioned. We continue to be focused on capital efficiency, growth, cost reduction and margin expansion, in line with our stated strategy. We affirm the guidance for full year 2017 provided at Investor Day last year.”

_______________________________________

² As previously announced, Arconic expects to fully exit the North America packaging business at its Tennessee operations following the expiration of the toll processing and services agreement with Alcoa Corporation on December 31, 2018, unless sooner terminated by the parties.

First Quarter 2017 Segment Performance

As of the first quarter of 2017, Arconic’s segment reporting metric has changed from after-tax operating income to Adjusted EBITDA.

Engineered Products and Solutions (EP&S)

EP&S reported revenue of $1.5 billion, up two percent year over year, first-quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $306 million, up $1 million year over year, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.6 percent, down 40 basis points year over year. Adjusted EBITDA was driven by volume and net cost savings excluding engine ramp-up costs, which offset unfavorable mix, price and ramp-up costs. The ramp up costs are associated with increasing production volumes of new engine parts and are the result of, for example, higher scrap rates, lower efficiencies, new process development and employee training. These costs will diminish over time as volumes increase and processes mature.

Global Rolled Products (GRP)

GRP reported revenue of $1.2 billion, an increase of five percent year over year. The segment also reported Adjusted EBITDA of $171 million, up $16 million year over year, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.7 percent, up 60 basis points year over year. The Adjusted EBITDA improvement was driven by net cost savings and record automotive volume, which were partially offset by reduced aero wide-body build rates, airframe destocking, reduced North America heavy duty truck (HDT) build rates and pricing pressure in regional specialties.

Transportation and Construction Solutions (TCS)

TCS delivered revenue of $449 million, an increase of five percent year over year. The segment also reported first quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $72 million, up $8 million year over year, and a first quarter adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.0 percent, up 110 basis points year over year. The Adjusted EBITDA improvement was driven by volume and net cost savings that more than offset pricing pressure in the HDT market.

Balance Sheet

At the separation of Alcoa Inc., Arconic chose to retain a 19.9 percent stake in Alcoa Corporation, indicating it would review options for responsibly managing the stake, taking into account its continued upside potential. In February 2017, Arconic monetized approximately 64 percent of the 36,311,767 shares it retained in Alcoa Corporation at a price of $38.03 per share. The monetization resulted in $888 million in proceeds.

In December 2016, at the Company’s Investor Day, Arconic communicated its intent to pay down $1 billion in debt in the first half of 2017. On April 5, 2017, the Company announced the commencement of cash tender offers by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”) and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”) for up to $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding senior notes due in 2018 and 2019, subject to certain conditions. On April 24, 2017, the Company purchased $295 million in aggregate principal amount of its senior notes from Citigroup and Credit Suisse.

Arconic ended the first quarter of 2017 with cash on hand of $2.6 billion. Cash used for operations was $300 million, driven by the normal first quarter build in working capital and semi-annual interest payments; cash used for financing activities totaled $43 million; and cash provided from investing activities was $1.0 billion, reflecting the proceeds from the monetization of Alcoa Corporation shares and the sales proceeds from Alcoa Corporation’s Yadkin Hydroelectric Project. Free cash flow for the quarter was negative $403 million.

Arconic will hold its quarterly conference call at 5:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time on April 25, 2017 to present first quarter 2017 results. The meeting will be webcast via www.arconic.com . Call information and related details are available at www.arconic.com under “Investors;” presentation materials will be available at approximately 4:15 PM EDT on April 25, 2017.

(1)		On November 1, 2016, the former Alcoa Inc. was separated into two standalone, publicly-traded companies, Arconic and Alcoa Corporation, by means of a pro rata distribution of 80.1 percent of the outstanding common stock of Alcoa Corporation to Alcoa Inc. shareholders. Accordingly, the results of operations of Alcoa Corporation have been reflected as discontinued operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016.
(2)		For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, Other income, net included a $351 gain on the sale of a portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock.
(3)		At a special meeting of Arconic common shareholders held on October 5, 2016, shareholders approved a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of Arconic’s outstanding and authorized shares of common stock which became effective on October 6, 2016. All share and per share data presented for all periods herein have been updated to reflect the reverse stock split.
(4)		In order to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended March 31, 2016, December 31, 2016, and March 31, 2017, preferred stock dividends declared of $18, $17, and $17, respectively, need to be subtracted from Net income attributable to Arconic.
(5)		For the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016, the diluted average number of shares does not include any share equivalents related to outstanding employee stock options and awards, convertible debt (acquired through the acquisition of RTI International Metals, Inc.) nor the mandatory convertible preferred stock as their effect was anti-dilutive. For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the difference between the respective diluted average number of shares and the respective basic average number of shares relates to share equivalents associated with employee stock options and awards, convertible debt (acquired through the acquisition of RTI International Metals, Inc.), and mandatory convertible preferred stock.

Arconic’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation 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 and amortization. The Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
The difference between certain segment totals and consolidated amounts is Corporate.
(1)		On November 1, 2016, the former Alcoa Inc. completed its separation into two standalone, publicly-traded companies. Arconic includes the former Alcoa Inc. segments: Engineered Products and Solutions, Transportation and Construction Solutions, and Global Rolled Products, except for the Warrick, IN rolling operations and the equity interest in the rolling mill at the joint venture in Saudi Arabia, both of which became part of Alcoa Corporation. The Global Rolled Products segment information has been updated to exclude the Warrick, IN rolling operations and the equity interest in the rolling mill at the joint venture in Saudi Arabia.
(2)		Combined segment adjusted EBITDA is the summation of the respective adjusted EBITDA of Arconic’s three reportable segments.
(3)		For the first quarter of 2017, Other income, net includes a $351 gain on the sale of a portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock.
(4)		The reconciliation of Combined segment adjusted EBITDA to Consolidated net income (loss) attributable to Arconic has been updated for all periods presented to exclude the results of operations for Alcoa Corporation, which have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Net income attributable to Arconic common shareholders – as adjusted		$	0.26			$	0.12			$	0.33

Net income (loss) attributable to Arconic – as adjusted is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of Arconic 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 (loss) attributable to Arconic determined under GAAP as well as Net income (loss) attributable to Arconic – as adjusted.
(1)		On November 1, 2016, the former Alcoa Inc. was separated into two standalone, publicly-traded companies, Arconic and Alcoa Corporation, by means of a pro rata distribution of 80.1 percent of the outstanding common stock of Alcoa Corporation to Alcoa Inc. shareholders. Accordingly, the results of operations of Alcoa Corporation have been reflected as discontinued operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016.
(2)		In the second quarter of 2016, management changed the manner in which special items are presented in Arconic’s reconciliation of Adjusted Income. This change resulted in special items being presented on a pretax basis and the related tax and noncontrolling interest’s impacts on special items being aggregated into separate respective line items. The special items for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 were updated to conform to the current period presentation.
(3)		Discrete tax items include the following:
•		for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, a net charge related to a number of small items ($6);
•		for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, a charge for valuation allowances related to the November 1, 2016 separation (see Note 1 above) ($1,267), a net charge for the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets due to tax rate and tax law changes ($51), a net benefit for valuation allowances not associated with the separations ($29), and a net benefit for a number of small items ($17);
•		for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, a net charge related to number of small items ($1);
(4)		Other special items include the following:
•		for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, a favorable tax impact related to the interim period treatment of operational losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized ($58); an unfavorable tax impact resulting from the difference between Arconic’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory rates applicable to special items ($46), and costs associated with the then-planned separation of Alcoa Inc. ($18);
•		for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, costs associated with the separation of Alcoa Inc. ($87), a favorable adjustment to the contingent earn-out liability related to the November 2014 acquisition of Firth Rixson ($56), a favorable tax benefit related to the currency impacts of a distribution of previously taxed income ($38), an unfavorable tax impact related to the interim period treatment of operational losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized ($37), and a favorable tax impact resulting from the difference between Arconic’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory rates applicable to special items ($17);
•		for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, a gain on the sale of a portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock ($351), costs associated with the separation of Alcoa Inc. ($18), a favorable tax impact resulting from the difference between Arconic’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory rate applicable to special items ($17), proxy, advisory and governance-related costs ($16), and an unfavorable tax impact related to the interim period treatment of operational losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized ($9);
(5)		The tax impact on special items is based on the applicable statutory rates whereby the difference between such rates and Arconic’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate is itself a special item (see footnote 2 above).
(6)		At a special meeting of Arconic common shareholders held on October 5, 2016, shareholders approved a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of Arconic’s outstanding and authorized shares of common stock which became effective on October 6, 2016. All share and per share data for all periods presented have been updated to reflect the reverse stock split.
The average number of shares applicable to diluted EPS for Net income (loss) attributable to Arconic common shareholders excludes certain share equivalents as their effect was anti-dilutive (see footnote (5) 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 Arconic common shareholders – as adjusted due to a larger and/or positive numerator. Specifically:
•		for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, share equivalents associated with outstanding employee stock options and awards and convertible debt (acquired through the acquisition of RTI International Metals, Inc.) were dilutive based on Net income attributable to Arconic common shareholders – as adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number of shares of 450,934,515;
•		for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, share equivalents associated with outstanding employee stock options and awards were dilutive based on net income attributable to Arconic common shareholders – as adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number of shares of 443,779,820; and
The average number of shares applicable to diluted EPS for Net income (loss) attributable to Arconic common shareholders includes certain share equivalents as their effect was dilutive. However, certain of these share equivalents may become anti-dilutive in the EPS calculation applicable to Net income attributable to Arconic common shareholders – as adjusted due to a smaller and/or negative numerator. Specifically:
•		for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, share equivalents associated with mandatory convertible preferred stock were anti-dilutive based on Net income attributable to Arconic common shareholders – as adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number of shares of 460,207,783.

Operational Tax Rate		Quarter ended March 31, 2017
		As reported				Special items (1)				As adjusted
Income from continuing operations before income taxes		$	484			$	(243	)		$	241
Provision for income taxes		$	162			$	(90	)		$	72
Tax rate			33.5	%							29.9	%

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 Arconic 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.

Arconic’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation 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 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 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.
Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA, excluding special items, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of Arconic excluding the impacts of special items, such as costs associated with the separation of Alcoa Inc. and proxy, advisory and governance-related costs (collectively, “special items”).

(1)		On November 1, 2016, the former Alcoa Inc. was separated into two standalone, publicly-traded companies, Arconic and Alcoa Corporation, by means of a pro rata distribution of 80.1 percent of the outstanding common stock of Alcoa Corporation to Alcoa Inc. shareholders. Accordingly, the results of operations of Alcoa Corporation have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

(1)		Excludes the Warrick, IN rolling operations and the equity interest in the rolling mill at the joint venture in Saudi Arabia, both of which were previously part of the Global Rolled Products segment but became part of Alcoa Corporation effective November 1, 2016.
(2)		Includes 76 thousand metric tons (kmt) and 54 kmt at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively for the Tennessee packaging business. These amounts represent the volume at Arconic’s Tennessee operations associated with the toll processing and services agreement that Arconic and Alcoa Corporation entered into in connection with the separation of the companies. Pursuant to this agreement, this amount is not reported in Arconic’s shipments but has been included in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA / Total shipments for historical comparative purposes.

Third party sales excluding Tennessee packaging is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors as it presents sales on a comparable basis for all periods presented as Arconic ramps down the Tennessee packaging business.
(1)		Excludes the Warrick, IN rolling operations and the equity interest in the rolling mill at the joint venture in Saudi Arabia, both of which were previously part of the Global Rolled Products segment but became part of Alcoa Corporation effective November 1, 2016.

Free cash flow		$	(681	)		$	351			$	(403	)

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 Arconic’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.
(1)		On November 1, 2016, the former Alcoa Inc. was separated into two standalone, publicly-traded companies, Arconic and Alcoa Corporation, by means of a pro rata distribution of 80.1 percent of the outstanding common stock of Alcoa Corporation to Alcoa Inc. shareholders. Cash from operations and capital expenditures for Alcoa Corporation have not been segregated and are included in this table for all periods prior to November 1, 2016.

Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management assesses Arconic’s leverage position after factoring in available cash that could be used to repay outstanding debt.

RONA			8.9	%

RONA is a non-GAAP financial measure. RONA is calculated as adjusted net income divided by working capital and net PP&E. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors as RONA helps management and investors determine the percentage of net income the company is generating from its assets. This ratio tells how effectively and efficiently the company is using its assets to generate earnings.
(1)		See Reconciliation of Adjusted Income for a description of special items.
(2)		The Deferred purchase price receivable relates to an arrangement to sell certain customer receivables to several financial institutions on a recurring basis. Arconic is adding back the receivable for the purposes of the Working Capital calculation.
