ASX Announcement 9 October 2015


Alcoa Third Quarter Earnings Release


Alumina Limited (ASX: AWC) notes Alcoa's quarterly earnings release and attaches it for reference. Selected information from the Alcoa alumina business segment and relevant market data to assist readers in understanding the market, operational and commercial matters of Alcoa World Alumina & Chemicals ('AWAC') is also attached.


Alumina Limited's CEO, Peter Wasow, commented, 'The alumina segment, which includes the bauxite mining business, was able to maintain its strong margins in the third quarter. Lower prices were offset by higher shipments, favourable currency movements, a higher proportion of sales on an API-basis and net productivity gains for both mining and refining. Given recent API and LME aluminium prices, the expectation is for lower alumina pricing in the fourth quarter.'


AWAC's production of alumina was 3.8 million tonnes for the third quarter.


Alumina Limited received no dividends from and made no cash capital contributions to AWAC in the third quarter.


Alumina Limited's net debt was approximately US$125 million at the end of September 2015.


About AWAC & Alcoa's Earnings Release

Alumina Limited owns 40% of each of the AWAC entities, which form a part of the Alcoa alumina business segment. The Alcoa primary metals business segment includes the AWAC Point Henry smelting (closed 1 August 2014), Portland smelting and Anglesea power station operations. Therefore, the AWAC results cannot be directly inferred from the Alcoa earnings release. Further, unlike Alumina Limited, Alcoa reports under US GAAP.

    New York, October 8, 2015 - Lightweight metals leader Alcoa (NYSE:AA) today reported a third quarter profit as its value-add and upstream portfolios delivered solid results in the face of strong market and currency headwinds. Alcoa has been transforming by building its value-add portfolio for profitable growth and creating a globally competitive upstream business. The Company's successful multi-year transformation will culminate with the launch of two Fortune 500 companies, one value-add focused and the other upstream focused, expected in the second half of 2016.


    Alcoa reported third quarter 2015 net income of $44 million, or $0.02 per share, including $65 million in net unfavorable special items. Special items included restructuring-related costs to optimize the upstream portfolio and transaction costs, partially offset by gains on asset sales. Third quarter 2015 results compare to net income of $149 million, or $0.12 per share, in third quarter 2014.


    Excluding special items, third quarter 2015 net income was $109 million, or $0.07 per share, led by strong productivity gains and solid midstream and downstream profitability, offset by lower metal prices. The Midwest transaction price was down $641 per metric ton, or 27.2 percent, year-to-date through September 30, 2015. Third quarter 2015 results, excluding special items, compare to net income of $370 million, or $0.31 per share, in third quarter 2014.


    Third quarter 2015 revenue totaled $5.6 billion, down approximately 11 percent year-over-year. Divesting and closing lower-margin businesses and market headwinds caused third quarter revenue to fall 21 percent. This decrease was partially offset by a 10 percent third quarter revenue increase from organic growth in aerospace, automotive and alumina, combined with acquisitions.


    'The third quarter brought economic headwinds and significant volatility in some of our markets,' said Klaus Kleinfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. 'We continue to be laser focused on the things we can control. We have successfully made our Upstream businesses less vulnerable to commodity downswings. We have intensified innovation and growth in the Value- Add businesses, and it shows through the solid underlying performance despite currency movements and market fluctuations. Our productivity performance was strong combined with

    good cash generation. While we cannot control external factors, we do remain focused on what we can control-making our businesses more resilient.'


    2015 End Market Forecasts


    In its global end markets, Alcoa maintained 2015 estimates for global aerospace sales growth of 8 to 9 percent. In industrial gas turbines, Alcoa increased its 2015 forecast for global airfoil market growth of 3 to 4 percent, up from 1 to 3 percent.


    In North America, Alcoa tightened 2015 estimates for automotive production to up 2 to 4 percent, from up 1 to 4 percent; maintained its 2015 estimate for heavy duty truck and trailer production growth of 9 to 11 percent; held steady its 2015 projection for commercial building and construction sales growth at 4 to 5 percent; and kept its 2015 packaging estimate unchanged at down 1 to 2 percent.


    In Europe, the Company updated its projection for 2015 automotive production growth to up 1 to 3 percent, from down 1 to up 3 percent; raised its 2015 heavy duty truck and trailer production forecast to up 1 to 3 percent, from down 2 percent to flat; maintained its 2015 commercial building and construction sales growth estimate at down 2 to 3 percent; and kept its 2015 packaging estimate unchanged at up 1 to 2 percent.


    In China, Alcoa lowered its estimate for 2015 automotive production growth to up 1 to 2 percent, from up 5 to 8 percent; reduced its projection for 2015 heavy duty truck and trailer production growth to down 22 to 24 percent, from down 14 to 16 percent; reduced its 2015 commercial building and construction sales growth to up 4 to 6 percent from up 6 to 8 percent; and kept its 2015 packaging estimate unchanged at up 8 to 12 percent.


    In addition, Alcoa reaffirmed its projections that global aluminum demand is expected to increase 6.5 percent in 2015 and double between 2010 and 2020; so far this decade, global demand growth is tracking ahead of this projection. Alcoa is also projecting a global aluminum deficit for 2016.


    Value-Add Portfolio Transformation


    After the separation, the innovation and technology-driven Value-Add Company will include Global Rolled Products, Engineered Products and Solutions, and Transportation and Construction Solutions. In the third quarter, these combined business segments reported revenue of $3.4 billion, after-tax operating income (ATOI) of $257 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $508 million.


    In the third quarter, the Company acquired RTI International Metals. Earlier this month, Alcoa announced an approximately $1.1 billion contract with Lockheed Martin that draws on new titanium capabilities gained through RTI. Under the contract, Alcoa becomes the titanium supplier for airframe structures for all three variants of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter over nine years, from 2016 to 2024. RTI is expected to contribute $1.2 billion in revenue and its profitability is expected to reach 25 percent EBITDA margin, both in 2019. Separately, Alcoa announced an approximately $1 billion contract with Airbus for high-tech, multi-material fastening systems, Alcoa's largest-ever fastener deal with the aircraft manufacturer. Under the

    contract, Alcoa will supply primarily titanium, steel and nickel-based superalloy fastening systems for every Airbus platform.


    The Company announced a $60 million expansion at the Alcoa Technical Center to accelerate advanced 3D-printing materials and processes. Alcoa is building a multi-metals powder facility to make the critical input material for metallic 3D-printed parts. In addition, Alcoa has developed the patented Ampliforge™ process. With this process, the Company can design and 3D-print a near complete part, and then treat it using a traditional manufacturing process, such as forging, to enhance metallurgical properties, including toughness and strength.


    In automotive, Alcoa continued to make significant headway with both its breakthrough Micromill technology and material, and rolling mill investments to meet growing demand for aluminum intensive vehicles. Alcoa's automotive revenues are expected to increase 2.4 times from 2014 to $1.8 billion in 2018.


    In the third quarter:


  • Ford and Alcoa announced a joint development agreement to collaborate on advanced automotive aluminum alloys using Micromill technology. Ford also said it will debut Micromill material on its 2016 Ford F-150 truck, making it the first automaker to use the advanced automotive aluminum commercially. To date, the Company has Micromill qualification agreements in place with nine major automotive customers on three continents, including Ford.


  • Alcoa signed a letter of intent with the Danieli Group to work toward an agreement to license the breakthrough Micromill technology to customers around the world.


  • A new midstream business unit, Micromill Products and Services, was established to drive revenue from licensing Alcoa's intellectual property and technology associated with manufacturing advanced Micromill products. The business unit will provide services like training and technical support as well as generate product sales from San Antonio Works starting with automotive sheet in North America and expanding into other market sectors and regions.


  • In Tennessee, a $300 million automotive plant expansion backed by customer contracts opened and began shipments four months ahead of schedule. Alcoa also announced plans to restart its Texarkana, Texas casthouse. It is expected to ramp up production in the first half of 2016 and produce aluminum slab for the North American automotive market.


    The Company also realigned its value-add portfolio to drive further profitable growth.


  • In the third quarter, Alcoa created a new downstream business segment, Transportation and Construction Solutions (TCS), comprising Alcoa Wheel and Transportation Products and Alcoa Building and Construction. The segment will expand into emerging regional markets, in addition to capturing continued growth in existing markets.


  • Global Rolled Products is also strengthening its ability to capture profitable growth opportunities in attractive market sectors and regions. The segment will now consist of

    four business units comprising Aerospace and Automotive Products; Brazing, Commercial Transportation and Industrial; Global Packaging; and Micromill Products and Services.


    Upstream Portfolio Transformation


    After the separation, the Upstream Company will comprise five strong business units that today make up Global Primary Products - Bauxite, Alumina, Aluminum, Casting and Energy. In the third quarter, the combined upstream businesses reported revenue of $2.2 billion, ATOI of $153 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $379 million.


    Alcoa made progress in building its third-party bauxite business. In the third quarter, the Company received approval from the Government of Western Australia to export trial bauxite shipments from its Willowdale and Huntly mines, targeted for early 2016. Alcoa has the world's largest bauxite mining portfolio with a low 19th percentile position on the global bauxite cost curve.


    Since 2007, the Company has divested, closed or curtailed 1.4 million metric tons, or 33 percent, of total smelting operating capacity. In addition, Alcoa's review of 500,000 metric tons of smelting capacity and 2.8 million metric tons of refining capacity for possible curtailment or divestiture remains active.


    In the third quarter, Alcoa:


  • Announced the curtailment of the remaining 887,000 metric-tons-per-year of Suralco's alumina refining capacity in Suriname. The refinery is scheduled to be idled by November 30, 2015.


  • Permanently closed the Anglesea coal mine and power station in Australia on August 31, 2015.


  • Completed the mine at the Ma'aden-Alcoa joint venture in Saudi Arabia, the lowest cost aluminum complex in the world. The joint venture's smelter is on track to produce nameplate capacity of 740,000 metric tons of aluminum and the refinery is projected to produce 1 million metric tons of alumina, both in 2015.


In addition, Alcoa has launched an improvement plan in its Primary Metals segment to increase productivity between $110 million to $130 million in 2016.


As a result of strategic actions, Alcoa has dropped eight points on the global aluminum cost curve since 2010 to the 43rd percentile and is targeting the 38th percentile by 2016. On the global alumina cost curve, Alcoa has dropped five points since 2010 to the 25th percentile and is targeting the 21st percentile by 2016.


The Company also continued growing its value-add casthouse products, which are projected to represent approximately 70 percent of 2015 smelter shipments. From 2010 to 2014, growth of total value-add product shipments from its smelters delivered $1.3 billion in total incremental

margin. In Alumina, Alcoa estimates approximately 75 percent of its total third-party smelter- grade alumina shipments will be based on Alumina Price Index/spot market pricing this year.


Financial Performance


Alcoa continues to drive strong performance across all businesses, delivering $287 million in third quarter year-over-year productivity gains and $849 million year-to-date against a $900 million 2015 annual target. Productivity gains have been driven by process improvements and procurement savings across all segments. Alcoa invested return-seeking capital of $389 million, compared to a $750 million 2015 annual target. Approximately 80 percent of year-to-date return seeking capital was invested in the value-add businesses. Alcoa controlled sustaining capital expenditures of $408 million against a $725 million 2015 annual plan.


Cash provided from operations was $420 million in the quarter and free cash flow was $152 million. Alcoa ended the quarter with cash on hand of $1.7 billion.


The Company achieved an average of 40 days working capital for the quarter, 8 days higher than third quarter 2014 due to the impact of the Firth Rixson, TITAL and RTI acquisitions.

Excluding the impact of the acquisitions, average days of working capital decreased 1 day from 32 to 31. Alcoa's debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio on a trailing twelve months basis was 2.44.


Segment Performance


Engineered Products and Solutions

This segment reported record revenue of $1.4 billion, up 35 percent year-over-year, driven by acquisitions and share gains, somewhat offset by unfavorable price/mix and currency. ATOI in the third quarter was $151 million, down $4 million, year-over-year from $155 million, including

$16 million of after-tax expenses attributable to purchase accounting adjustments and other costs in connection with the acquisition of RTI. As a result, adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.3 percent in third quarter 2015 compared to 25.7 percent in the year-ago quarter. Year-over- year, productivity improvements and the positive contribution from the Firth Rixson acquisition were offset by cost headwinds, investments for ramping up growth projects and unfavorable price/mix.


Transportation and Construction Solutions

ATOI in the third quarter was $44 million, down $6 million year-over-year. The decline was driven by cost headwinds and the unfavorable impact from currency, which were offset by strong productivity gains. This segment delivered an adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.2 percent, compared to 15.5 percent for the same quarter last year.


Global Rolled Products

ATOI in the third quarter was $62 million, down $7 million year-over-year. Strong productivity and the benefit of automotive sales growth of 133 percent, were more than offset by cost increases, investments for ramping up growth projects (e.g. Tennessee automotive expansion and Micromill), currency, portfolio actions and unfavorable price/mix. As a result of this segment's transformation initiatives, including divestitures and upgrading the product mix, adjusted EBITDA per metric ton was $330 in third quarter 2015, up 6 percent, or $18 per metric ton, from $312 in the year-ago quarter.


Alumina

This segment reported ATOI of $212 million, its best year-to-date profitability since 2007. Third quarter ATOI was down $3 million sequentially from $215 million, and up $150 million year- over-year from $62 million. Lower pricing drove the decline in sequential ATOI, but was nearly offset by favorable foreign currency movements, cost control and productivity improvements, higher shipments based on Alumina Price Index/spot pricing, and higher volume. Adjusted EBITDA per metric ton decreased $3 from second quarter 2015 to $95 per metric ton in third quarter 2015 and increased $49 per metric ton year-over-year.


Primary Metals

ATOI in the third quarter was a negative $59 million, down $126 million sequentially from $67 million, and down $304 million year-over-year from $245 million. Sequential earnings declined due to lower London Metal Exchange aluminum pricing, lower regional premiums and unfavorable energy costs in Spain and the United States. These impacts were somewhat offset by lower input costs, strong productivity and favorable currency. Third-party realized price in third quarter 2015 was $1,901 per metric ton, down 13 percent sequentially and down 25 percent year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA per metric ton in third quarter 2015 was $4, a sequential decrease of $263 per metric ton.


Alcoa will hold its quarterly conference call at 5:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time on October 8, 2015 to present quarterly results. The meeting will be webcast via alcoa.com. Call information and related details are available at www.alcoa.com under 'Invest.' Presentation materials will be available for viewing
