Alcoa (NYSE: AA) today announced fourth quarter 2010 income from
continuing operations of $258 million, or $0.24 per share, the company′s
highest quarterly income since the economic downturn and $197 million
higher than the third quarter of 2010. Fourth quarter income from
continuing operations includes a $35 million, or $0.03 per share,
positive impact from special items, compared to a negative impact of $35
million, or $0.03 per share, in the third quarter of 2010 and a negative
impact of $275 million, or $0.28 per share, in the fourth quarter of
2009. The company also set an all-time record for cash from operations
and a fourth-quarter record for free cash flow.
Improved earnings were driven by higher pricing, continued strengthening
in most end markets and improved productivity as a result of the
company′s Cash Sustainability Program. Results were offset somewhat by a
weaker U.S. dollar and higher energy and raw material costs.
Results for the fourth quarter of 2010 include a favorable impact of $35
million, or $0.03 per share, for special items. Special items included a
net benefit for restructuring-related actions, discrete income tax
benefits and non-cash, mark-to-market impacts of derivatives in several
power contracts.
'We exceeded all of our targets and continued to build momentum,? said
Klaus Kleinfeld, Alcoa Chairman and CEO. 'We delivered all-time record
cash from operations, record fourth-quarter free cash flow, improved
earnings, grew revenue and paid down debt.
'In 2011, we see aluminum growing another 12 percent on top of last
year′s 13-percent improvement. We are well positioned to outpace the
recovery in the markets we serve and grow shareholder value.?
Alcoa projects global demand for aluminum to double by 2020. For 2011,
the company projects growth in all end markets on a global basis.
4Q 2010
Revenue for the fourth quarter was $5.7 billion, up 7 percent compared
to the third quarter. The increase was driven by an improvement in
realized pricing for both alumina (9 percent) and aluminum (11 percent)
as well as continued strengthening in most end markets.
Income from continuing operations in the quarter was $258 million, or
$0.24 per share, compared to $61 million, or $0.06 per share, in the
previous quarter and a loss of $266 million, or $0.27 per share, in the
fourth quarter of 2009. Fourth-quarter income from continuing operations
includes a $35 million, or $0.03 per share, positive impact from special
items, compared to a negative impact of $35 million, or $0.03 per share,
in the third quarter of 2010 and a negative impact of $275 million, or
$0.28 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Net income was $258 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of $197
million from sequential quarter income of $61 million, and an increase
of $535 million from the prior year quarter loss of $277 million.
Adjusted EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter of 2010 improved to 13.8
percent, up from 11.4 percent in the third quarter of 2010 and 3.4
percent in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Cash from operations was an all-time record $1.4 billion, an increase of
$978 million from the previous quarter and a $246 million improvement
from the fourth quarter of 2009. The sequential increase in cash from
operations was driven by higher earnings, favorable changes in working
capital and lower interest and tax payments. Alcoa generated $1 billion
in free cash flow in the quarter, an increase of $829 million over the
third quarter. Free cash flow was $244 million higher than the fourth
quarter of 2009.
Third-party shipments of aluminum were essentially flat compared to the
third quarter of 2010. End-market revenue performance improved over the
third quarter in Aerospace (+4 percent), Building and Construction (+2
percent), Distribution (+13 percent) and Industrial Gas Turbines (+16
percent).
Alcoa′s debt-to-capital ratio stands at 34.8 percent at the end of the
fourth quarter, 90 basis points better than the third quarter of 2010,
and 390 basis points lower than the fourth quarter of 2009. Liquidity
improved, with $1.5 billion in cash on hand at the end of the fourth
quarter compared to $843 million at the end of the third quarter of 2010.
2010 Full Year
Alcoa exceeded all targets in its Cash Sustainability Program in 2010.
Results for the year include procurement savings of $2.64 billion,
overhead savings of $509 million, capital spending reduced to $1.21
billion and working capital at 34 days.
For the year 2010, revenue was $21.0 billion, compared to $18.4 billion
in 2009. Income from continuing operations was $262 million, or $0.25
per share, compared with a loss of $985 million, or $1.06 per share, in
2009. In both periods, income from continuing operations includes
special items resulting in a negative impact of $297 million, or $0.29
per share, in 2010 and $300 million, or $0.32 per share, in 2009.
Full-year 2010 net income was $254 million, or $0.24 per share, compared
to a net loss of $1.15 billion, or $1.23 per share, in 2009. Cash from
operations in 2010 was $2.3 billion, compared to $1.4 billion in 2009.
Alcoa generated $1.2 billion in free cash flow in 2010, up $1.5 billion
over 2009.
The company′s debt to capital ratio was reduced 390 basis points in 2010
compared to year-end 2009, driven by a $654 million net reduction in
debt and a $1.6 billion increase in equity.
Segment Information
Alumina
After-tax operating income (ATOI) in the fourth quarter was $65 million,
a decrease of $5 million compared with third-quarter ATOI of $70
million. A discrete tax item in the third quarter of $42 million
obscured the improving performance of this business, with adjusted
EBITDA rising to $180 million compared with third-quarter adjusted
EBITDA of $146 million. A 9 percent improvement in realized alumina
price was partially offset by negative currency impacts, higher raw
material costs and continuing São Luis production recovery efforts.
Alumina production in the fourth quarter increased to 4.12 million
metric tons, record quarterly production.
Primary Metals
ATOI in the fourth quarter was $178 million, an increase of $100 million
compared with third-quarter ATOI of $78 million. Improved LME prices,
volume and productivity were partially offset by unfavorable currency
and cost increases in energy and carbon product prices. Primary
production for the quarter increased to 913,000 metric tons, with
buy/resell activity totaling 70,000 metric tons. The Avil?smelter
returned to full production this quarter. Adjusted EBITDA per ton
improved to $436 in the quarter, better than the ten-year historical
average.
Flat-Rolled Products
ATOI in the fourth quarter was $53 million, a decrease of $13 million
compared with third-quarter ATOI of $66 million. Seasonal volume
declines in North America and Europe as well as scrap and alloying cost
pressures accounted for the decline, although improving prices helped to
offset these effects. Russia remained profitable for the third
consecutive quarter, with $130 million of improved ATOI over 2009.
Engineered Products and Solutions
ATOI in the fourth quarter was $113 million, essentially flat with
third-quarter ATOI of $114 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin remained at
17 percent, 6 percent better than the fourth quarter of 2009. Seasonal
shutdowns and weather delays impacted this quarter′s results, although
the segment achieved improved sequential revenues due to volume
improvements in aerospace and commercial transportation.
Alcoa will hold its quarterly conference call at 5:00 PM Eastern Time
on January 10, 2011 to present the quarter′s results.The meeting
will be webcast via alcoa.com.Call information and related

Alcoa′s definition of Adjusted EBITDA is net margin plus an add-back for
depreciation, depletion, 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, depletion, 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 Alcoa′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.

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 Alcoa′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.
