Arconic Inc. (NYSE: ARNC) today announced the divestiture of its Fusina, Italy rolling mill to Slim Aluminium. The transaction follows a thorough review process and is part of Arconic Global Rolled Products’ (GRP) continued drive to convert the business from a commodity producer to a high-margin aerospace and automotive supplier.

Arconic expects to record restructuring-related charges representing the loss on sale of approximately $60 million after tax, or $0.12 per diluted share, in its Statement of Consolidated Operations for the first quarter of 2017. The charges primarily relate to the non-cash impairment of the net book value of the business as well as the injection of $10 million in cash into the business prior to its sale.

GRP has increased its adjusted EBITDA margin by 890 basis points – from 3 percent in 2008 to 11.9 percent in 2016 – through portfolio optimization, manufacturing excellence and commercializing innovations.

Forward-looking statements include those containing such words as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or other words of similar meaning. All statements that reflect Arconic’s expectations, assumptions or projections about the future, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding charges in first quarter of 2017. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Although Arconic believes that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed in Arconic’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the information included in this communication 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). Such non-GAAP financial measures supplement our GAAP disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to the GAAP measure. 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 below.

Reconciliation of Global Rolled Products⁽¹⁾ Adjusted EBITDA

($ in millions)			2008					2016
After-tax operating income (ATOI)			$	(15	)			$	269
Add:
Depreciation and amortization				190					201
Income taxes				50					107
Other				4					–
Adjusted EBITDA			$	229				$	577
Third Party Sales			$	7,659				$	4,864
Adjusted EBITDA Margin				3.0%					11.9%

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 Other line in the table above includes gains/losses on asset sales and other nonoperating items. 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.
