Arconic Inc. (NYSE:ARNC) today reported results for the second quarter of 2017, for which the Company reported revenue of $3.3 billion, up 1% year over year, driven by higher volumes across all business segments as well as higher aluminum prices. Adjusting for Tennessee packaging, revenues were up 5% year over year.

Net income attributable to Arconic in the second quarter of 2017 was $212 million, or $0.43 per share. The results include $47 million in special items, including a gain on the debt-for-equity exchange of Alcoa Corporation shares, which is intended to qualify as generally tax-free to Arconic for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This was partially offset by costs associated with the early redemption of debt; proxy, advisory and governance-related costs; and restructuring-related charges.

Excluding special items, second quarter 2017 adjusted income was $165 million, or $0.32 per share. All segments delivered higher volumes while maintaining focus on cost reduction savings. Annualized return on net assets (RONA) was 8.7% based on the results of the first half of 2017.

Second quarter Consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $444 million, up 3% year over year. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $486 million, up 2% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding special items was 14.9%, up 20 basis points year over year.

“Arconic delivered another solid quarter. The business increased revenue and profitability, continued to expand margins and take out cost. We ended the first half of 2017 with significantly less debt, a strong cash position and good liquidity. We are pleased to update our guidance for the year, reflecting our increased confidence in 2017 performance,” said Arconic Interim Chief Executive Officer David Hess.

Reynobond PE

Reynobond PE, one of Arconic’s building and construction products, was one component of the overall cladding system installed on Grenfell Tower in London, the site of last month’s tragic fire. Our Reynobond products, including Reynobond PE, are permitted to be used in accordance with local codes and regulations in the United States, UK and other countries around the world. Cladding systems contain various components selected and put together by architects, contractors, fabricators and building owners, and those parties are responsible for ensuring that the cladding systems are compliant under the appropriate codes and regulations. As it relates to Arconic’s position in the supply chain, we believe we have been compliant in the sale of our product. Given the tragedy at Grenfell Tower, and out of an abundance of caution as Arconic does not control the ultimate design and installation of the final cladding system, the Company announced on June 26th that it would no longer sell the PE product for use in high-rise construction – regardless of the local codes and regulations.

Hess said, “We extend our deepest sympathies to those who have lost so much. Everyone at Arconic continues to keep them in our thoughts. And importantly, we remain committed to supporting the investigations that are seeking an outcome that makes it unlikely that a similar tragedy will ever recur.”

Second Quarter 2017 Segment Performance

Engineered Products and Solutions (EP&S)

EP&S reported revenue of $1.5 billion, up 1% year over year, and Adjusted EBITDA of $310 million, down $19 million year over year. Increased volume and continued net cost savings (excluding engine ramp-up costs) were more than offset by unfavorable mix and price. While a headwind year over year, ramp-up costs were down sequentially in the second quarter, both in absolute dollars and as a percent of volume. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.9%, down 160 basis points year over year.

Global Rolled Products (GRP)

GRP reported revenue of $1.3 billion, a decrease of 4% year over year, which includes the Tennessee packaging business. Adjusting for Tennessee packaging, GRP revenue was up 8% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA was $164 million, up $1 million year over year, an improvement driven by net cost savings and automotive volume and partially offset by reduced aerospace wide-body build rates, airframe destocking and pricing pressure in regional specialties. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.9%, up 50 basis points year over year.

In the second quarter, Arconic continued progress towards streamlining and simplifying its cost structure. In GRP, these efforts are expected to save $15 million in 2018 and create a leaner business well positioned to deliver growth.

Transportation and Construction Solutions (TCS)

TCS delivered revenue of $501 million, an increase of 7% year over year, and Adjusted EBITDA of $82 million, up $6 million year over year, as volume and net cost savings more than offset pricing pressure in the heavy-duty truck market. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.4%, up 10 basis points year over year.

Balance Sheet

Arconic ended the second quarter of 2017 with cash on hand of $1.8 billion. Cash from operations was $217 million, and free cash flow was $91 million. Cash used for financing activities totaled $860 million, reflecting cash payments for the early redemption of debt, and cash used for investing activities was $125 million.

Since the start of the year, Arconic has reduced its long-term debt by approximately $1.25 billion.

Full Year 2017 Guidance ^*

The Company adjusted 2017 full year guidance based on solid first half performance, increased confidence, higher volumes, stronger net cost savings and higher aluminum prices.

_______________

^* Arconic has not provided a reconciliation of the forward-looking financial measures of adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) because Arconic is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts, and Arconic believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. In particular, reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures 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 foreign currency movements, equity income, 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.

_______________

¹		As previously announced, Arconic expects to fully exit the North American packaging business at its Tennessee operations following the expiration of the Toll Processing and Services Agreement (the “Processing Agreement”) with Alcoa Corporation on December 31, 2018, unless sooner terminated by the parties. Pursuant to the Processing Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2016, Arconic provides can body stock to Alcoa Corporation, using aluminum supplied by Alcoa Corporation.

²		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’s definition of Combined segment 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 Combined segment 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⁾		Other income, net included:

		•	For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, a $351 gain on the sale of a portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock; and
		•	For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, a $167 gain on the exchange of Arconic’s remaining investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock for a portion of the Company’s outstanding senior notes due 2018.

⁽⁴⁾		Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 includes $76 related to the early redemption of the Company’s outstanding 6.500% Senior Notes due 2018 and 6.750% Senior Notes due 2018 (collectively, the “2018 Senior Notes”) and a portion of the Company’s outstanding 5.720% Senior Notes due 2019.

⁽⁵⁾		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	$	0.33		$	0.33		$	0.32		$	0.59		$	0.66

Net income 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 attributable to Arconic determined under GAAP as well as Net income 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 quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016.

⁽²⁾		Discrete tax items included the following:
•		for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, a benefit for one item ($3);
•		for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, a net charge for a number of small items ($1);
•		for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a net charge for a number of small items ($3); and
•		for the six months ended June 30, 2017, a net charge for a number of small items ($1).

⁽³⁾		Other special items included the following:
•		for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, an unfavorable tax impact related to the interim period treatment of operational income in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax expense was recognized ($51), costs associated with the separation of Alcoa Inc. ($45), and an unfavorable tax impact resulting from the difference between Arconic’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory rate 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);
•		for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, a gain on the exchange of the remaining portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock ($167), costs associated with the Company’s early redemption of $1,250 of outstanding senior notes ($76), proxy, advisory and governance-related costs ($42), an unfavorable tax impact resulting from the difference between Arconic’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory rate applicable to special items ($30), 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 ($4);
•		for the six months ended June 30, 2016, an unfavorable tax impact resulting from the difference between Arconic’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory rate applicable to special items ($63), costs associated with the separation of Alcoa Inc. ($63), 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 ($7); and
•		for the six months ended June 30, 2017, a gain on the sale of a portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock ($351), a gain on the exchange of the remaining portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock ($167), costs associated with the Company’s early redemption of $1,250 of outstanding senior notes ($76), proxy, advisory, and governance-related costs ($58), costs associated with the separation of Alcoa Inc. ($18), an unfavorable tax impact resulting from the difference between Arconic’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory rate applicable to special items ($13), 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 ($5).

⁽⁴⁾		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 Note 3 above).

⁽⁵⁾		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 attributable to Arconic - as adjusted, includes certain share equivalents as their effect was dilutive. Specifically:
•		for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, share equivalents associated with outstanding employee stock options and awards and shares underlying outstanding 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 452,052,847;
•		for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, share equivalents associated with outstanding employee stock options and awards and shares underlying outstanding 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 460,207,783.
•		for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, share equivalents associated with outstanding employee stock options and awards and shares underlying outstanding 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 461,826,510; and
•		for the six months ended June 30, 2016, share equivalents associated with outstanding employee stock options and awards and shares underlying outstanding 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 451,498,740.
•		for the six months ended June 30, 2017, share equivalents associated with outstanding employee stock options and awards and shares underlying outstanding 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 460,894,897.

Operational tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure.

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”). This measure provides additional information with respect to Arconic’s operating performance and the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations excluding such costs.

Free cash flow	$	55		$	(403	)	$	91		$	(626	)	$	(312	)

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.

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 program 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.
