Third Quarter 2022 Highlights
Arconic Corporation (NYSE: ARNC) (“Arconic” or “the Company”) today reported third quarter 2022 results. Revenue was $2.3 billion, down 11% from the prior quarter, primarily due to sequential declines in metal prices and lower sales volumes due to production outages and other operational challenges. The Company reported a net loss of $65 million, or $0.64 per share, compared with net income of $16 million, or $0.15 per share in third quarter 2021. Third quarter 2022 includes an after-tax, non-cash asset impairment charge of $70 million related to the Extrusions segment business review. Third quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA was $143 million, a decline of 16% year over year, driven by weakness in industrial production related to operational challenges in the quarter and lower profitability in Europe driven by hyperinflationary energy prices impacting demand and costs. Cash provided from operations was $91 million and capital expenditures were $47 million in the third quarter 2022. Tim Myers, Chief Executive Officer, said, “The production outages and other operational challenges at the Tennessee and Davenport facilities that impacted third quarter results have been resolved and the affected facilities are now producing at expected rates. Maintenance scheduled for the end of the third quarter was completed successfully and the repaired equipment has been operating consistently for several weeks. While there has been weakness in Europe, demand in North America remains strong. Also in the quarter, we completed our $300 million share repurchase authorization.”
Outlook The Company is updating its full-year 2022 outlook. Arconic revenue expectations are now in the range of $9.0 billion to $9.3 billion for full-year 2022 compared with the prior expected range of $9.2 billion to $9.5 billion. This assumes LME aluminum price of $2,300/mt and Midwest Premium of $550/mt. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $700 million to $730 million compared to the previously guided range of $715 million to $765 million. The reduction was primarily caused by issues on the Lancaster hot mill, which returned to service from a scheduled outage in late-September. During the outage, a piece of equipment was upgraded to increase capacity, but it is running well below pre-outage rates since returning to production. The production rates from the hot mill have improved throughout October and are expected to return to normal rates by the end of the fourth quarter 2022. Free cash flow for full-year 2022 is now anticipated to be approximately $150 million compared to the prior expectation of approximately $200 million due to reduced profitability and increased working capital. Share Repurchase Program In the 2022 third quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 3.0 million shares for a total of approximately $86 million, completing the $300 million authorization. Arconic will hold its quarterly conference call at 10:00 AM Eastern Time on November 1, 2022, to present third quarter 2022 financial results. The call will be webcast on the Arconic website.

The above list of factors is not exhaustive or necessarily in order of importance. Market projections are subject to the risks discussed above and in this release, and other risks in the market. The statements in this release are made as of the date of this release, even if subsequently made available by Arconic on its website or otherwise. Arconic disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Some of the information included in this release 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). Certain of these financial measures are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement our GAAP disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as determined in accordance with GAAP, and investors should consider Arconic’s performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of Arconic. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures presented by Arconic may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. 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 in the schedules to this release. Arconic has not provided reconciliations of any forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because such reconciliations 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 metal price lag, foreign currency movements, unrealized gains or losses on mark-to-market hedging, 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. Arconic believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.
