Alcoa (NYSE: AA) today announced second quarter 2010 income from
continuing operations of $137 million or $0.13 per share compared with a
first quarter 2010 loss from continuing operations of $194 million, or a
loss of $0.19 per share. First quarter 2010 results included
restructuring and special charges of $295 million, or $0.29 per share.
The second quarter of 2009 showed a loss from continuing operations of
$312 million, or $0.32 per share including restructuring charges.
Earnings for the second quarter improved $331 million sequentially as
stronger volumes, productivity improvements, favorable currency and
lower energy costs more than offset slightly lower average realized
metal prices which declined $22 a metric ton, to an average of $2,309 a
ton in the quarter.
The second quarter 2010 results reflect the impact of restructuring
including job reductions and special items such as costs associated with
the recently completed United Steelworkers contract negotiations, offset
by non-cash, mark-to-market benefits on derivatives in several power
contracts as well as a net discrete tax benefit. Taken together these
items had a net unfavorable impact of $2 million in the quarter. First
quarter 2010 results included restructuring and special charges of $295
million or $0.29 per share.
Revenues for the quarter were $5.2 billion, a six percent increase from
the first quarter of 2010 driven by a four percent increase in aluminum
shipments and a one percent increase in third-party prices for alumina,
partially offset by a one percent decrease in realized prices for
aluminum. In many markets we saw strong revenue growth from the previous
quarter with packaging (+17%), commercial transportation (+10%),
building and construction (+9%), distribution (+5%), industrial gas
turbines (+5%) and aerospace (+5%) realizing gains. Revenues increased
22 percent from $4.2 billion in the second quarter of 2009.
'We improved profits and revenues and maintained our solid cash
position,? said Klaus Kleinfeld, Alcoa Chairman and CEO. 'The top and
bottom line growth was driven by higher volumes from stronger end
markets and continued gains from our productivity programs. Based on
this improved end-market demand, we are raising our projection for
aluminum consumption from 10 percent to 12 percent this year.
'Prospects for Alcoa and aluminum continue to be excellent,? Kleinfeld
said. 'Aluminum is traditionally a backbone of growing economies and is
penetrating new applications every day. Alcoa has enviable positions in
bauxite, alumina and aluminum and our investments will move us further
down the cost curve. Meanwhile, our mid- and downstream businesses
continue to improve margins.?
Alcoa continued to produce strong results in its cash sustainability
program. After the first six months of 2010, the Company is tracking
toward its expanded goals for 2010, including: $1.4 billion of the
targeted $2.5 billion in procurement savings; $311 million of the
targeted $500 million in annual overhead reduction savings; days of
working capital at 42, a six-day improvement from the same period last
year; and $514 million toward the targeted $1.25 billion in capital
spending. The capital spending includes the Company′s investment in the
Ma′aden/Alcoa joint venture in Saudi Arabia, which will create the
world′s lowest-cost aluminum complex, including a mine, refinery,
smelter and rolling mill.
Cash sustainability efforts helped improve the cost of goods sold as a
percentage of sales by 90 basis points to 81.2 percent from 82.1 percent
in the first quarter of 2010. EBITDA for the second quarter 2010 was
$724 million. The Company′s second quarter 2010 EBITDA margin of 14.0
percent was the highest since third quarter 2008.
Net income for the second quarter 2010 was $136 million or $0.13 per
share compared with a net loss of $201 million, or a loss of $0.20 per
share in the first quarter of 2010, which includes the previously
mentioned restructuring and special items. The second quarter of 2009
showed a net loss of $454 million, or $0.47 per share, including
restructuring charges.
Free cash flow in the second quarter of 2010 totaled $87 million. In the
quarter, the Company ended several accounts receivable sales programs,
which resulted in an unfavorable working capital impact of approximately
$260 million and held free cash flow back from even stronger performance.
Debt-to-capital at the end of the second quarter 2010 stands at 38.4
percent, 130 basis points lower than the second quarter of 2009. Overall
debt decreased $465 million from the second quarter of 2009. Cash on
hand at the end of the second quarter of 2010 was $1.34 billion.
Revenues for the first half of 2010 were $10.1 billion, and results from
continuing operations showed a loss of $57 million, or $0.06 per share.
The first half of 2010 showed a net loss of $65 million, or $0.06 per
share.
Segment Results
Alumina
After-tax operating income (ATOI) in the second quarter was $94 million,
an increase of $22 million compared with first quarter ATOI of $72
million. Higher production and a one percent increase in realized price,
along with favorable currency and productivity benefits, were partially
offset by commissioning issues at the Sao Luis refinery. Alumina
production in the second quarter increased 24 thousand metric tons (kmt)
to 3,890 kmt as increases across our global system more than offset
declines at Sao Luis.
Primary Metals
ATOI in the second quarter was $109 million, a decrease of $14 million
from the first quarter. Lower LME prices and higher LME-linked costs,
primarily energy, were partially offset by favorable currency,
non-LME-linked energy benefits and continued productivity gains.
Litigation related to a power contract at the Rockdale smelter and the
associated legal costs negatively impacted results by $10 million. Also
in the quarter, the Fusina smelter was fully curtailed and the Aviles
smelter was forced to halt operations due to flooding. Primary metal
production for the quarter increased 4 kmt to 893 kmt and buy/resell
activity totaled 68 kmt.
Flat-Rolled Products
ATOI in the second quarter was $71 million, a sequential increase of $41
million. Higher volumes in Russia, China and North America, and
continued productivity gains were partially offset by lower prices. In
the quarter, the Russia operations benefited from improving market
conditions and a lower cost structure to generate positive ATOI.
Engineered Products and Solutions
ATOI in the second quarter was $107 million, up 32 percent while sales
rose four percent. Higher volumes in the aerospace, building &
construction and commercial vehicle markets along with strong
productivity gains.
Alcoa will hold its quarterly conference call at 5:00 PM Eastern Time on
July 12, 2010 to present the quarter's results. The meeting will be
