(1)     The Company entered into a sale leaseback arrangement in October 2018 for a cast house that is now part of Arconic Corporation, and due to continuing involvement, the gain on sale was deferred. In connection with the adoption of the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019, the arrangement no longer required that the gain be deferred. As such, the associated $73 deferred gain, net of tax was recognized as a cumulative effect of an accounting change within Accumulated deficit. Also, the Company adopted the new hedge accounting guidance on January 1, 2019. As a result, an adjustment of $2 was recognized as a cumulative effect of an accounting change within Accumulated deficit with an offset to Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the elimination of a separate measurement of ineffectiveness for its cash flow hedges.

Howmet Aerospace Inc. and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(U.S. dollars in millions, except per-share amounts)
A. Basis of Presentation
The interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Howmet Aerospace Inc. (formerly known as Arconic Inc.) and its subsidiaries (“Howmet” or the “Company”) are unaudited. These Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. The results reported in these Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. The 2019 year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This Form 10-Q report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which includes all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation (see Note D).
The separation of Arconic Inc. into 2 standalone, publicly-traded companies, Howmet Aerospace Inc. and Arconic Corporation, (the “Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction”) became effective on April 1, 2020 (see Note B).2020. The financial results of Arconic Corporation for all periods prior to the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction have been retrospectively reflected in the Statement of Consolidated Operations as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Certain adjustments to equity and reclassifications have been made related to the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction. In addition, the related assets and liabilities associated with Arconic Corporation in the December 2019 Consolidated Balance Sheet are classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations. The cash flows, comprehensive income, and equity related to Arconic Corporation have not been segregated and are included in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows, Statement of Consolidated Comprehensive Income (Loss), and Statement of Changes in Consolidated Equity, respectively, for all periods prior to the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction. See Note B for additional information related to the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction and discontinued operations.
TheYear to date, the Company derivesderived approximately 70% of its revenue from products sold to the aerospace end-market. As a result of the global pandemic coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and its impact on the aerospace industry to-date, the possibility exists that there could be a sustained impact to our operations and financial results. Since the start of the pandemic, certain original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) customers have reduced production or suspended manufacturing operations in North America and Europe on a temporary basis. While the pandemic has resulted in the temporary closure of a small number of the Company's manufacturing facilities, all of our manufacturing facilities are currently operating. Since the duration of the pandemic is uncertain, the Company is taking a series of actions to address the financial impact, including announcing certain headcount reductions and reducing certain cash outflows by suspending dividends on common stock and reducing the level of its capital expenditures to preserve cash and maintain liquidity.
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain judgments, estimates, and assumptions. These estimates are based on historical experience and, in some cases, assumptions based on current and future market experience, including considerations relating to the impact of COVID-19. The impact of COVID-19 is rapidly changing and of unknown duration and macroeconomic impact and as a result, these considerations remain highly uncertain. We have made our best estimates using all relevant information available at the time, but it is possible that our estimates will differ from our actual results and affect the Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods and potentially require adverse adjustments to the recoverability of goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets, the realizability of deferred tax assets and other judgements and estimations and assumptions that may be impacted by COVID-19.
During the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company identified a misclassification in the presentation of changes in accounts payable and capital expenditures in its previously issued Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. Although management has determined that such misclassification did not materially misstate such prior financial statements, the Company has revised its Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 resulting in a $117 increase to previously reported capital expenditures and decrease to cash provided from investing activities with a corresponding reduction in (decrease) in accounts payable, trade and increase in cash provided by operations. The Company will also prospectively revise, in connection with future filings, its Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows to increase its previously reported capital expenditures with a corresponding offset in accounts payable, trade of $55, $83 and $83 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, three months ended March 31, 2020, and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2020, a $16 tax error was identified related to periods prior to 2018. Although management has determined it was not material to any periods, it was corrected as an adjustment to Retained Earnings in the Statement of Changes in Consolidated Equity in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020. During the third quarter, the Company determined that such correction to Retained Earnings should have been accounted for as a revision to its prior year's Retained Earnings (Accumulated Deficit) and has made this correction in the current quarter. The Company will prospectively revise, in connection with future filings, its Statement of Changes in Consolidated Equity for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020 to properly present the correction as a reduction to prior year's Retained Earnings (Accumulated Deficit). The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019 reflects the revision for such tax item.
B. Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction and Discontinued Operations
On April 1, 2020, the Company completed the previously announced separation of its business into 2 independent, publicly-traded companies. Following the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction, Arconic Corporation holds the Global Rolled Products businesses (global rolled products, aluminum extrusions, and building and construction systems) previously held by the Company. The Company retained the Engineered Products and Forgings businesses (engine products, fastening systems, engineered structures, and forged wheels).
The Company's Board of Directors approved the completion of the separation on February 5, 2020, which was effected by the distribution (the “Distribution”) by the Company of all of the outstanding common stock of Arconic Corporation on April 1, 2020 to the Company’s stockholders who held shares as of the close of business on March 19, 2020 (the “Record Date”). In the Distribution, each Company stockholder of record as of the Record Date received one share of Arconic Corporation common stock for every four shares of the Company’s common stock held as of the Record Date. The Company did not issue fractional shares of Arconic Corporation common stock in the Distribution. Instead, each stockholder otherwise entitled to a fractional share of Arconic Corporation common stock received cash in lieu of fractional shares.
9


On March 31, 2020, in connection with the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction, the Company entered into several agreements with Arconic Corporation that govern the relationship between the Company and Arconic Corporation following the Distribution, including the following: a Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, Transition Services Agreement and certain Patent, Know-How, Trade Secret License and Trademark License Agreements.
On February 7, 2020 Arconic Corporation completed an offering of $600 aggregate principal amount of 6.125% senior secured second-lien notes due 2028. On March 25, 2020.2020, Arconic Corporation entered into a credit agreement which provided for a $600 aggregate principal amount seven-yearseven-year senior secured first-lien loan B facility and a revolving credit facility which is guaranteed by certain of Arconic Corporation's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and secured on a first-priority basis by liens on substantially all assets of Arconic Corporation and subsidiary guarantors. Arconic Corporation used the proceeds to make payment to the Company to fund the transfer of certain assets to Arconic Corporation relating to the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction and for general corporate purposes. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $45 associated with these issuances for the first quarter of 2020 and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.
On February 1, 2020, Arconic CorpCorporation completed the sale of its rolling millionmill in Itapissuma, Brazil for $50 in cash which resulted in a loss of $59, of which $53 was recognized in discontinued operations in the second half of 2019 and $6 in the first quarter of 2020 and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020. On March 1, 2020, Arconic Corporation sold its hard alloy extrusions plant in South Korea for $62 in cash, which resulted in a gain that was recognized in discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2020 and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company identified and corrected a prior period equity misclassification of $22 million related to the distribution of pension plans and their related financial statement impacts which related to the distributions to Arconic Corporation. Management evaluated the impact of the misclassification within the components of equity on previously issued financial statements and concluded that it was not material.

C. Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Adopted
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") related to the impairment model for expected credit losses. The new impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model) is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The Company recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses. The CECL model applies to most debt instruments, trade receivables, lease receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and other loan commitments and requires the measurement of expected credit losses on assets including those that have a low risk of loss. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Issued
In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that impacts disclosures for defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. These changes become effective for the Company's 2020 annual report. Management has determined that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements and plans to adopt for the 2020 annual report.
In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance that is intended to simplify various aspects related to the accounting for income taxes. These changes become effective on January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Consolidated Financial Statements and plans to adopt on January 1, 2021.
11


In March 2020, the FASB issued amendments that provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued
12


due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Securities and Exchange Commission issued amendments to modernize the Regulation S-K disclosure requirements about description of business, legal proceedings and risk factors. The amendments permit registrants to take a more principles based approach to tailor business and risk factors disclosures to their circumstances and calls for enhanced human capital disclosures. The amendments, which became effective on November 9, 2020, are designed to improve the readability of these disclosures and discourage the repetition of non-material information. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on this Form 10-Q.
D. Segment Information
Following the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction, Howmet’s operations consist of 4 worldwide reportable segments as follows:
Engine Products
Engine Products produces investment castings and seamless rolled rings primarily for aircraft engines and industrial gas turbines. Engine Products produces rotating parts as well as structural parts.
Fastening Systems
Fastening Systems produces aerospace fastening systems, as well as commercial transportation fasteners. The business’s high-tech, multi-material fastening systems are found nose to tail on aircraft and aero engines. The business’s products are also critical components of industrial gas turbines, automobiles, commercial transportation vehicles, and construction and industrial equipment.
Engineered Structures
Engineered Structures produces titanium and aluminum ingots and mill products for aerospace and defense applications and is vertically integrated to produce titanium forgings, extrusions formingsforming and machining services for airframe, wing, aero-engine, and landing gear components. Engineered Structures also produces aluminum forgings, nickel forgings, and aluminum machined components and assemblies for aerospace and defense applications.
Forged Wheels
Forged Wheels provides forged aluminum wheels and related products for heavy-duty trucks and the commercial transportation markets.
Goodwill     
The Company had $4,051$4,072 of Goodwill at JuneSeptember 30, 2020, and the Company reviews it for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if indicators exist or if a decision is made to sell or realign a business.
On January 1, 2020, management transferred the Savannah business from the Engine Products segment to the Engineered Structures segment, based on synergies with forgings technologies and manufacturing capabilities. As a result of the reorganization, goodwill of $17 was reallocated from Engine Products to Engineered Structures, and these reporting units were evaluated for impairment during the first quarter of 2020. The estimated fair value of each of these reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying value; thus, there was no goodwill impairment at the date the business was transferred.
During the first quarter of 2020, Howmet's market capitalization declined significantly compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Over the same period, the equity value of our peer group companies, and the overall U.S. stock market also declined significantly amid market volatility. In addition, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures designed to contain the spread, sales globally to customers in the aerospace and commercial transportation industries that are impacted by COVID-19 have been and are expected to be negatively impacted as a result of disruption in demand. As a result of these macroeconomic factors, we performed a qualitative impairment test to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units is less than its carrying value.
As a result of this assessment, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test in the first quarter for the Engineered Structures reporting unit and concluded that though the margin between the fair value of the reporting unit and carrying value had declined from approximately 60% to approximately 15%, it was not impaired. Consistent with prior practice, a discounted cash flow model was used to estimate the current fair value of the reporting unit. The significant assumptions and estimates utilized to determine fair value were developed utilizing current market and forecast information reflecting the disruption in demand that has and is expected to negatively impact the Company’s sales globally in the aerospace industry. In the second quarterand third quarters of 2020, there were no indicators of impairment identified for the Engineered Structures reporting unit as the margin between fair value of the reporting unit and carrying value exceeded 20%. If our actual results or external market factors decline significantly from management’s estimates, future goodwill impairment charges may be necessary and could be material.

K. Receivables
Sale of Receivables Programs
The Company has 2 accounts receivable securitization arrangements.
The first is an arrangement with several financial institutions to sell certain customer receivables without recourse on a revolving basis ("Receivables Sale Program"). The sale of such receivables is completed using a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. This arrangement historically provided up to a maximum funding of $400 for receivables sold. The Company maintains a beneficial interest, or a right to collect cash, on the sold receivables that have not been funded (deferred purchase program receivable). In the first quarter of 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to remove subsidiaries of Arconic Corporation from the sale of receivables program in preparation for the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction and repurchased the remaining $282 unpaid receivables of Arconic Corporation in a non-cash transaction by reducing the amount of the deferred purchase program receivable. This amendment also reduced the maximum funding for receivables sold to $300. Effective September 30, 2020, the concentration limit of one customer may be reduced at the discretion of the financial institutions or automatically upon the downgrade of its debt rating as defined in the Receivables Sale Program agreement. A reduction in the customer's concentration limit would reduce the eligible receivable funding base thereby reducing the amount of future draws available and may also require repayment of a portion of existing draws.
The Company had net cash repayments totaling $136$153 ($138189 in draws and $274$342 in repayments) for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the deferred purchase program receivable was $97$53 and $246, respectively, which was included in Other receivables on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The deferred purchase program receivable is reduced as collections of the underlying receivables occur; however, as this is a revolving program, the sale of new receivables will result in an increase in the deferred purchase program receivable. The Company services the customer receivables for the financial institutions at market rates; therefore, no servicing asset or liability was recorded.
Cash receipts from customer payments on sold receivables (which are cash receipts on the underlying trade receivables that have been previously sold in this program)sold) as well as cash receipts and cash disbursements from draws and repayments under the program are presented as cash receipts from sold receivables within investing activities in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows.
On April 14, 2020, the Company’s credit rating was downgraded by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., which resulted in a termination event under the provisions of the Receivables Sale Program agreement for which a waiveran amendment was obtained.executed on May 5, 2020 that cured it. This termination event under the Receivables Sale Program iswas not an event of default under the Company’s other financing and commercial agreements, including the Credit Agreement. On May 5, 2020, an amendment to the Receivables Sale Program was executed that cured the termination event.
The second arrangement is one in which the Company, through a wholly-owned special purpose entity (“SPE”), entered into a receivables purchase agreement (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) on June 30, 2020 such that the SPE may sell certain receivables to financial institutions until the earlier of June 30, 2021 or a termination event. The Receivables Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, as well as affirmative and negative covenants. Pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred receivables, and therefore accounts for these transfers as sales of receivables.
The SPE sold $77$46 and $123, respectively, of its receivables without recourse and received cash funding under this program during the secondthird quarter and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, resulting in derecognition of the receivables from the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Cash received from collections of sold receivables is used by the SPE to fund additional purchases of receivables on a revolving basis, not to exceed $125, which is the aggregate maximum limit. As collateral against the sold receivables, the SPE maintains a certain level of unsold receivables, which was $30$28 at JuneSeptember 30, 2020. Costs associated with the sales of receivables are reflected in the Company’s Consolidated statements of operations for the periods in which the sales occur. Cash receipts from sold receivables are presented within Operating Activities in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows.
Other Customer Receivable Sales
In the secondthird quarter and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company supplemented the first accounts receivable securitization arrangement by selling $10sold $8 and $24$32 of a certain customer’s receivables in exchange for cash, the proceeds from which are presented in changes in receivables within operating activities in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. The sale of these customer receivables partially offset the maximum funding reduction resulting from the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction as well as customer concentration limits within the first accounts receivable securitization arrangement.
In the secondthird quarter and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company also began to sellsold another customer’s receivables of $48$34 and $65$99 in exchange for cash, the proceeds from which are presented in changes in receivables within operating activities in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. The sale of these customer receivables is beingwas undertaken to offset a change in the customer’s payment patterns in which the customer(customer had been taking a contractually available discount for paying early.early).

Management evaluated the disclosure misclassification on previously issued financial statements and concluded that it was not material.

The Company incurred capital expenditures which remain unpaid at September 30, 2020 and 2019 of $29 and $71, respectively, which will result in cash outflows for investing activities in subsequent periods.

Q. Acquisitions and Divestitures
2020 Divestitures.Divestitures
On January 31, 2020, the Company reached an agreement to sell a small manufacturing plant in the U.K. for $12 in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments. The operating results and assets and liabilities of this plant are included in the Engineered Structures segment. As a result of entering into the agreement to sell, the Company recognized a charge of $12 related to a non-cash impairment of the net book value of the business, primarily properties, plants, and equipment in the first quarter ofended March 31, 2020. TheAs the sale is not expected to occur. As a resultoccur, the Company changed the classification of the assets from held for sale to held for use in the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 and recorded these assets at their lower of carrying value (assuming no initial reclassification for held for sale was made) or fair value. The result was a reversal of $7 related to a non-cash impairment in the second quarter of 2020. These charges were recorded in Restructuring and other charges in the Statement of Consolidated Operations.
2019 Divestiture.Divestitures
On December 1, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its forgings business in the U.K. for $64 in cash, which resulted in a loss on sale of $46 that was recognized in 2019 (of which $43 and $3 was recognized in the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively) and an incremental charge of $6 related to certain post-closing adjustments in the first quarter ofended March 31, 2020 and nine months ended September 30, 2020. These charges were recorded in Restructuring and other charges in the Statement of Consolidated Operations. Of the cash proceeds received, $53 was recorded as Restricted cash within Prepaid expenses and other current
2326


expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019 as its use is subject to restriction by the U.K. pension authority until certain U.K. pension plan changes were made and approved. In the second quarter of 2020, the restriction was removed, and the proceeds were reclassified to Cash and cash equivalents. The forgings business primarily producesproduced steel, titanium, and nickel based forged components for aerospace, mining, and off-highway markets and its operating results and assets and liabilities were included in the Engine Products segment. The sale remains subject to certain remaining post-closing adjustments. This business generated third-party sales of $34$30 and $66$95 in the secondthird quarter and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, and had 540 employees at the time of divestiture.
On May 31, 2019, the Company sold a small additive manufacturing facility within the Engineered Structures segment for $1 in cash, which resulted in a loss of $13 in the second quarter ended June 30, 2019 and nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the non-cash impairment of the net book value of the business recorded in Restructuring and other charges in the Statement of Consolidated Operations.
On August 15, 2019, the Company sold inventories and properties, plantplants and equipment related to a small energy business within the Engineered Structures segment for $13 in cash. As the sale was substantially complete as of June 30, 2019, and the sale price was estimated to be less than the carrying value, the Company recognized a charge of $9 in the second quarter ofended June 30, 2019 and nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to inventory impairment and recorded the charge in Cost of goods sold in the Statement of Consolidated Operations.
R. Contingencies and Commitments
Contingencies
Environmental Matters
The Company participates in environmental assessments and cleanups at more than 30 locations. These include owned or operating facilities and adjoining properties, previously owned or operating facilities and adjoining properties, and waste sites, including Superfund (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA")) sites.
A liability is recorded for environmental remediation when a cleanup program becomes probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. As assessments and cleanups proceed, the liability is adjusted based on progress made in determining the extent of remedial actions and related costs. The liability can change substantially due to factors such as the nature and extent of contamination, changes in remedial requirements, and technological changes, among others.
The Company’s remediation reserve balance was $8$9 at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and $8 at December 31, 2019, recorded in Other noncurrent liabilities and deferred credits in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (of which $4 and $3, respectively, were classified as a current liability), and reflects the most probable costs to remediate identified environmental conditions for which costs can be reasonably estimated. Payments related to remediation expenses applied against the reserve were less than $1 in the secondthird quarter and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 which includes expenditures currently mandated, as well as those not required by any regulatory authority or third party.
Included in annual operating expenses are the recurring costs of managing hazardous substances and environmental programs. These costs are estimated to be approximately 1% or less of Cost of goods sold.
The Company previously reported on a remediation project related to the Grasse River, which is adjacent to the Massena West, New York plant site that is now part of Arconic Corporation. In connection with the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction, the Company entered into a separation and distribution agreement (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”) with Arconic Corporation, which, together with the documents and agreements by which the internal reorganization of the Company prior to the separation was effected, determined the allocation of assets and liabilities between the Company and Arconic Corporation following the separation and included any necessary indemnifications related to liabilities and obligations. In general, the respective parties will be responsible for the environmental matters associated with their operations, and with the properties and other assets assigned to each. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Arconic Corporation agreed to assume and indemnify the Company against potential liabilities associated with the remediation project related to the Grasse River. Therefore, the Company will no longer report on the Grasse River matter unless and until some event in the future causes it to become material and reportable.

Tax
Pursuant to the October 31, 2016 Tax Matters Agreement between the Company and Alcoa Corporation, Alcoa Corporation shares responsibility with and has agreed to partially indemnify the Company for the following matter. Additionally, as part of the March 31, 2020 Tax Matters Agreement between the Company and Arconic Corporation, Arconic Corporation also shares partial responsibility with and has agreed to partially indemnify the Company for its own share of the same matter. In connection with these indemnities, Alcoa Corporation and Arconic Corporation retain 49% and 34% of the total liability, respectively, for the following matter, and the Company retains the remaining 17% of the total liability.
As previously reported, in July 2013, following a Spanish corporate income tax audit covering the 2006 through 2009 tax years, an assessment was received mainly disallowing certain interest deductions claimed by a Spanish consolidated tax group owned by the Company. In August 2013, the Company filed an appeal of this assessment in Spain’s Central Tax Administrative Court, which was denied in January 2015. The Company filed another appeal in Spain’s National Court in March 2015 which was denied in July 2018. The National Court’s decision requires the assessment for the 2006 through 2009 tax years to be reissued to take into account the outcome of the 2003 to 2005 audit which was closed in 2017. The Company estimates the revised assessment to be $174$181 (€154)155), including interest.
In March 2019, the Supreme Court of Spain accepted the Company's petition to review the National Court’s decision, and the Company has filed a formal appeal of the assessment. TheOn October 13, 2020, the Supreme Court is reviewingreviewed the assessment on its merits, and will render a final decision.decision is expected to be rendered before the end of the year. In the event the Company receives an
27


unfavorable ruling from the Supreme Court of Spain, a portion of the assessment may be offset with existing net operating losses and tax credits available to the Spanish consolidated tax group in existence during the audit period.
In the third quarter of 2018, the Company established an income tax reserve and an indemnification receivable representing Alcoa Corporation’s 49% share of the liability. Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement with Arconic Corporation, as of the second quarter of 2020 the Company established an additional income tax receivable representing Arconic Corporation's 34% share of the total liability. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the balances of the Company's reserve, including interest, and the receivables are $60$63 (€54) and $50$52 (€45), respectively.
The tax years 2010 through 2013 are closed to audit. In July of 2020, a Spanish corporate income tax audit covering the periodtax years 2014 through 2018 commenced. Any potential assessment for the tax period open to audit is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated operations.
Reynobond PE
Prior to the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction on April 1, 2020, the Company was known as Arconic Inc. References to “Arconic Inc.” in this “Reynobond PE” section refer to Arconic Inc. only and do not include its subsidiaries, except as otherwise stated.
On June 13, 2017, the Grenfell Tower in London, U.K. caught fire resulting in fatalities, injuries and damage. A French subsidiary of Arconic Inc., Arconic Architectural Products SAS (AAP SAS) (now a subsidiary of Arconic Corporation), supplied a product, Reynobond PE, to its customer, a cladding system fabricator, which used the product as one component of the overall cladding system on Grenfell Tower. The fabricator supplied its portion of the cladding system to the façade installer, who then completed and installed the system under the direction of the general contractor. Neither Arconic Inc. nor AAP SAS was involved in the design or installation of the system used at the Grenfell Tower, nor did it have a role in any other aspect of the building’s refurbishment or original design. Regulatory investigations into the overall Grenfell Tower matter are being conducted, including a criminal investigation by the London Metropolitan Police Service (the “Police”), a Public Inquiry by the British government and a consumer protection inquiry by a French public authority. The Public Inquiry was announced by the U.K. Prime Minister on June 15, 2017 and subsequently was authorized to examine the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the Grenfell Tower fire in order to make findings of fact and recommendations to the U.K. Government on matters such as the design, construction and modification of the building, the role of relevant public authorities and contractors, the implications of the fire for the adequacy and enforcement of relevant regulations, arrangements in place for handling emergencies and the handling of concerns from residents, among other things. Hearings for Phase 1 of the Public Inquiry began on May 21, 2018 and concluded on December 12, 2018. Phase 2 hearings of the Public Inquiry began in early 2020, following which a final report will be written and subsequently published. AAP SAS is participating as a Core Participant in the Public Inquiry and is also cooperating with the ongoing parallel investigation by the Police. The Company no longer sells the PE product for architectural use on buildings. Given the preliminary nature of these investigations and the uncertainty of potential future litigation, the Company cannot reasonably estimate at this time the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the possible loss or range of losses in the event of an unfavorable outcome.

Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Arconic Corporation agreed to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities and the Company agreed to indemnify Arconic Corporation for certain liabilities.As a result of the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction, Arconic Corporation holds the building and construction systems businesses previously held by the Company and AAP SAS is a subsidiary of Arconic Corporation; accordingly, Arconic Corporation has agreed to assume and indemnify the Company against potential liabilities associated with the June 13, 2017 fire at the Grenfell Tower in London, U.K., including the following legal proceedings:proceedings in which Arconic Inc. and/or its then directors were named as parties:
Behrens et al. v. Arconic Inc. et al. On June 6, 2019, 247 plaintiffs comprised of survivors and estates of decedents of the Grenfell Tower fire filed a complaint against “Arconic Inc., Alcoa Inc. and Arconic Architectural Products, LLC” (collectively, for purposes of the description of such proceeding, the “Arconic Defendants”), as well as Saint-Gobain Corporation, d/b/a Celotex and Whirlpool Corporation alleging claims under Pennsylvania state law for products liability and wrongful death related to the fire. In particular, the plaintiffs allege that the Arconic Defendants knowingly supplied a dangerous product ("Reynobond PE") for installation on the Grenfell Tower despite knowing that Reynobond PE was unfit for use above a certain height. The case has beenwas removed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and discovery is ongoingPennsylvania. Defendants moved to dismiss the case on defendants’numerous grounds, including forum non conveniens. Defendant Saint-Gobain Corporation was subsequently voluntarily dismissed from the case. On September 16, 2020, the court issued an order granting the remaining Defendants’ motion to havedismiss on forum non conveniens grounds. Plaintiffs subsequently filed a motion for reconsideration of the case dismissed in favor ofjudgment and Defendants are preparing a UK forum (forum non conveniens).response.
Howard v. Arconic Inc. et al. A purported class action complaint related to the Grenfell Tower fire was filed on August 11, 2017 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against Arconic Inc. and Klaus Kleinfeld. A related purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania
28


on September 15, 2017, under the caption Sullivan v. Arconic Inc. et al., against Arconic Inc., three former Arconic Inc. executives, several current and former directors, and certain banksbanks. Howard and Sullivan were subsequently consolidated and the lead plaintiffs in the consolidated purported class action filed a consolidated amended complaint alleging violations of the federal securities laws and seeking, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and an award of attorney and expert fees and expenses. After the Courtcourt granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss in full, the lead plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, and all defendants have moved to dismiss the second amended complaint.
Raul v. Albaugh, et al. On June 22, 2018, a derivative complaint was filed nominally on behalf of Arconic Inc. by a purported Arconic Inc. stockholder against the then members of Arconic Inc.’s Board of Directors and Klaus Kleinfeld and Ken Giacobbe, naming Arconic Inc. as a nominal defendant, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint raises similar allegations as the consolidated amended complaint and second amended complaint in Howard, as well as allegations that the defendants improperly authorized the sale of Reynobond PE for unsafe uses, and asserts claims under federal securities laws and Delaware state law. The case has been stayed until the final resolution of the Howard case, the Grenfell Tower Public Inquiry in London, and the investigation by the Police.
There can be no assurances regarding the ultimate resolution of these matters.
Stockholder Demands. Prior to the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction, the Board of Directors also received letters, purportedly sent on behalf of stockholders, reciting allegations similar to those made in the federal court lawsuits and demanding that the Board authorize the Company to initiate litigation against members of management, the Board and others. The Board of Directors appointed a Special Litigation Committee of the Board to review, investigate, and make recommendations to the Board regarding the appropriate course of action with respect to these stockholder demand letters. On May 22, 2019, the Special Litigation Committee, following completion of its investigation into the claims demanded in the demand letters, recommended to the Board that it reject the demands to authorize commencement of litigation. On May 28, 2019, the Board adopted the Special Litigation Committee’s findings and recommendations and rejected the demands that it authorize commencement of actions to assert the claims set forth in the demand letters.
Other
In addition to the matters discussed above, various other lawsuits, claims, and proceedings have been or may be instituted or asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to environmental, product liability, safety and health, employment, tax and antitrust matters. While the amounts claimed in these other matters may be substantial, the ultimate liability cannot currently be determined because of the considerable uncertainties that exist. Therefore, it is possible that the Company’s liquidity or results of operations in a period could be materially affected by one or more of these other matters. However, based on facts currently available, management believes that the disposition of these other matters that are pending or asserted will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
(dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
Overview
On April 1, 2020, Howmet Aerospace Inc. (formerly known as Arconic Inc.) ("Howmet"(“Howmet” or the “Company”) completed the previously announced separation of its business into two independent, publicly-traded companies (the “Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction”). Following the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction, Arconic Corporation holds the Global Rolled Products businesses (global rolled products, aluminum extrusions, and building and construction systems) previously held by the Company. The Company retained the Engineered Products and Forgings businesses (Engine Products, Engineered Structures, Fastening Systems, and Forged Wheels).
The Company's Board of Directors approved the completion of the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction on February 5, 2020, which was effected by the distribution (the “Distribution”) by the Company of all of the outstanding common stock of Arconic Corporation on April 1, 2020 to the Company’s stockholders who held shares as of the close of business on March 19, 2020 (the “Record Date”). In the Distribution, each Company stockholder of record as of the Record Date received one share of Arconic Corporation common stock for every four shares of the Company’s common stock held as of the Record Date. The Company did not issue fractional shares of Arconic Corporation common stock in the Distribution. Instead, each stockholder otherwise entitled to a fractional share of Arconic Corporation common stock received cash in lieu of fractional shares.
On March 31, 2020, in connection with the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction, the Company entered into several agreements with Arconic Corporation that govern the relationship between the Company and Arconic Corporation following the Distribution, including the following: a Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, Transition Services Agreement and certain Patent, Know-How, Trade Secret License and Trademark License Agreements.
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations excludes the historical results of Arconic Corporation, as the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction took place on April 1, 2020. The financial results of Arconic Corporation for all periods prior to the Arconic IncInc. Separation Transaction have been retrospectively reflected in the Statement of Consolidated Operations as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. In addition, the related assets and liabilities associated with Arconic Corporation in the December 2019 Consolidated Balance Sheet are classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations. The cash flows, comprehensive income, and equity related to Arconic Corporation have not been segregated and are included in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows, Statement of Consolidated Comprehensive Income (Loss), and Statement of Changes in Consolidated Equity, respectively, for all periods prior to the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction.
COVID-19
TheYear to date, the Company derivesderived approximately 70% of its revenue from products sold to the aerospace end-market. As a result of COVID-19 and its impact on the aerospace industry to-date, the possibility exists that there could be a sustained impact to our operations and our financial results. Since the start of the pandemic, certain original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) customers have suspended manufacturing operations in North America and Europe on a temporary basis. While the pandemic has resulted in temporary closure of a small number of the Company's manufacturing facilities, all of our manufacturing facilities are currently operating. Since the duration of the pandemic is uncertain, the Company is taking a series of actions to address the financial impact, including announcing certain headcount reductions and reducing certain cash outflows, by suspending our dividends and reducing the levels of our capital expenditures to preserve cash and maintain liquidity. For additional information regarding the risks of COVID-19 on our business, see the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows have been and could continue to be materially adversely affected by the effects of widespread public health epidemics/pandemics, including COVID-19, that are beyond our control.”

Separation Transaction in the first quarter of 2019, separation costs recorded in Income from discontinued operations and in Selling, general administrative, and other expenses totaled $124 as well as debt issuance costs and capital expenditures of $45 and $10, respectively.
Segment Information
Segment performance under the Company's management reporting system is evaluated based on a number of factors; however, the primary measure of performance is Segment operating profit. The Company's definition of Segment operating profit is Operating income excluding Special items. Special items include Restructuring and other charges and Impairment of goodwill. Segment operating profit may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Differences between segment and consolidated totals are in Corporate. The Company has four segments - Engine Products, Fastening Systems, Engineered Structures and Forged Wheels. (See Note D to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a description of each segment).
In the second quarter of 2020, the Company realigned its operations consistent with how the Co-Chief Executive Officers are assessing operating performance and allocating capital in conjunction with the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction (see Note B to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q). Prior period financial information has been recast to conform to current year presentation.
The Company produces aerospace engine parts and components and aerospace fastening systems for Boeing 737 MAX ("737 MAX") airplanes. The temporary reduction in the production rate of the 737 MAX airplanes that was announced by Boeing in April 2019 did not have a significant impact on the Company's sales or segment operating profit in 2019. In late December 2019, Boeing announced a temporary suspension of production of the 737 MAX airplanes. This decline in production had a negative impact on sales and segment operating profit in the Engine Products, Fastening Systems and Engineered Structures segments in the secondthird quarter and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020. The Company expects the reduction in 737 MAX production rates to continue to have a negative impact on its financial performance for the remainder of 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company identified a misclassification in the presentation of changes in accounts payable and capital expenditures in its previously issued Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows, and has revised its Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. See Note A to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail.
Operating Activities
Cash used for(used for) provided by operations was $260($142) in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, compared to $152$17 in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019. The increase in cash used for operations of $108,$159, or 71%935%, was primarily due to lower operating results of $296,$569, partially offset by lower working capital of $179.$299 and lower pension contributions of $107. The components of the change in working capital included favorable changes in receivables of $673$840, and ininventories of $50, offset by accounts payable of $437, accrued expenses of $87, taxes, including income taxes of $55, partially offset by unfavorable changes in accounts payable of $374, accrued expenses of $127,$51, and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $29 and inventories of $19.$16.
Financing Activities
Cash used for financing activities was $277$339 in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 compared to $942$1,144 in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019. The increasedecrease in cash used for financing activities of $665,$805, or 71%70%, was primarily due to a decrease in repurchasesthe repurchase of common stock of $900$1,049 and an increase in debt issued of $2,174,$2,100, which were partially offset by
35


an increase in long-term debt redemptions of $1,815,$1,738, cash distributed to Arconic Corporation at the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction of $500, debt issuance costs of $61 and premiums paid on the redemption of debt of $59.

The Company maintains a Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders and issuers named therein. In addition to the Credit Agreement, the Company has a number of other credit agreements. On June 26, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement to modify certain terms which provided relief from its existing financial covenant through December 31, 2021 and reduced total commitment available from $1,500 to $1,000. See Note O to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for reference.
The Company’s costs of borrowing and ability to access the capital markets are affected not only by market conditions but also by the short- and long-term debt ratings assigned to the Company by the major credit rating agencies.

Investing Activities
Cash provided from investing activities was $127$152 in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 compared to $171 in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019. The decrease of $44,cash provided from investing activities of $19, or 26%11%, was primarily due to decreasesa decrease in Cash receipts from sold receivables of $303$372, and lower sales of fixed-income securities of $47, which were partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures of $203$312 and an increase in proceeds from the sale of assets and businessesbusiness of $102$87 primarily related to the sale of a hard extrusions plant in South Korea and an aluminum rolling mill in Brazil in the first quarter of 2020 (both of which related to Arconic Corporation) compared to the sale of a small additives business and inventory and properties, plants and equipment of a small energy business within the Engineered Structures segment in the first halfsecond and third quarters of 2019.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates2019, respectively.
Goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized; instead, it is reviewed for impairment annually (in the fourth quarter) or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist or if a decision is made to sell or realign a business. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include deterioration in general economic conditions, negative developments in equity and credit markets, adverse changes in the markets in which an entity operates, increases in input costs that have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows, or a trend of negative or declining cash flows over multiple periods, among others. The fair value that could be realized in an actual transaction may differ from that used to evaluate the impairment of goodwill.
Goodwill is allocated among and evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. For the secondthird quarter of 2020, Howmet had four reporting units (Engine Products, Fastening Systems, Engineered Structures and Forged Wheels).
In reviewing goodwill for impairment, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (greater than 50%) that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity elects to perform a qualitative assessment and determines that an impairment is more likely than not, the entity is then required to perform the quantitative impairment test (described below); otherwise no further analysis is required. An entity also may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment and, instead, proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. The ultimate outcome of the goodwill impairment review for a reporting unit should be the same whether an entity chooses to perform the qualitative assessment or proceeds directly to the quantitative impairment test.
Howmet determines annually, based on facts and circumstances, which of its reporting units will be subject to the qualitative assessment. For those reporting units where a qualitative assessment is either not performed or for which the conclusion is that an impairment is more likely than not, a quantitative impairment test will be performed. Howmet’s policy is that a quantitative impairment test be performed for each reporting unit at least once during every three-year period.
Under the qualitative assessment, various events and circumstances (or factors) that would affect the estimated fair value of a reporting unit are identified (similar to impairment indicators above). These factors are then classified by the type of impact they would have on the estimated fair value using positive, neutral, and adverse categories based on current business conditions. Additionally, an assessment of the level of impact that a particular factor would have on the estimated fair value is determined using high, medium, and low weighting. Furthermore, management considers the results of the most recent quantitative impairment test completed for a reporting unit and compares the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) between the current and prior years for each reporting unit.

During the first quarter of 2020, Howmet’s market capitalization declined significantly compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Over the same period, the equity value of our peer group companies, and the overall U.S. stock market also declined significantly amid market volatility. In addition, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures designed to contain the spread, sales globally to customers in the aerospace and commercial transportation industries that are impacted by COVID-19 have been and are expected to be negatively impacted as a result of disruption in demand. As a result of these macroeconomic factors, we performed a qualitative impairment test in the first quarter to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units is less than its carrying value. As a result of this assessment, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test in the first quarter for the Engineered Structures reporting unit and concluded that though the margin between the fair value of the reporting unit and carrying value had declined from approximately 60% to approximately 15%, it was not impaired. Consistent with prior practice, a discounted cash flow model was used to estimate the current fair value of the reporting unit. The significant assumptions and estimates utilized to determine fair value were developed utilizing current market and forecast information reflecting the disruption in demand that has and is expected to negatively impact the Company’s sales globally in the aerospace industry.
In the second quarterand third quarters of 2020, there were no indicators of impairment identified for the Engineered Structures reporting unit as the margin between fair value of the reporting unit and carrying value exceeded 20%. As such, the fair values of all of our reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying values at JuneSeptember 30, 2020. If our actual results or external market factors decline significantly from management’s estimates, future goodwill impairment charges may be necessary and could be material.

In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this report, in Part I, Item 1A of Howmet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, Part II, Item 1A. of Howmet’s Quarterly ReportReports on Form 10-Q for the quarterquarters ended June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, and in other reports filed by Howmet with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the following risks and uncertainties, updated from and in addition to those in the Form 10-K and FormForms 10-Q, could materially harm its business, financial condition or results of operations, including causing Howmet’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to Howmet or that Howmet currently deems immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company in future periods.
Our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows have been and could continue to be materially adversely affected by the effects of widespread public health epidemics/pandemics, including COVID-19, that are beyond our control.
Any outbreaks of contagious diseases, public health epidemics or pandemics and other adverse public health developments in countries where we, our employees, customers and suppliers operate could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. Specifically, the novel strain of COVID-19, affecting the global community on a pandemic basis, including the United States, Europe and South America, is adversely impacting our operations, and the nature and extent of the impact over time is highly uncertain and beyond our control. The extent to which COVID-19 further affects our operations over time will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including the duration of the outbreak, the continued severity of the virus, resurgences of the virus, and the efficacy and the extent of actions that have been or may be taken to contain or treat its impact. These actions include, but are not limited to, declarations of states of emergency, business closures, manufacturing restrictions and a prolonged period of travel, commercial and/or other similar restrictions and limitations, many of which have been implemented across much of the globe and all of which have negatively affected our business. The longer the period of duration, the greater impact on our businesses and the heightened risk of a continuing material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and/or cash flows, as well as on our business strategies and initiatives. While some of the restrictions and limitations noted above have been and may continue to be relaxed or rolled back, certain actions have been and may continue to be reinstated as the pandemic continues to evolve including as a result of resurgences. The scope and timing of such reinstatements are difficult to predict and may materially affect our operations in the future. We continue to monitor guidelines proposed by federal, state and local governments with respect to the “reopening” measures and measures for continued operation, which may change over time depending on public health, safety and other considerations. We are continuing to focus on the safety and protection of our workforce by continuing to implement additional safety protocols in light of COVID-19.
As a result of COVID-19 and the measures designed to contain its spread, our sales globally, including to customers in the aerospace and commercial transportation industries that are impacted by COVID-19, have been and are expected to be negatively impacted as a result of disruption in demand, which has had and over time could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. The COVID-19 pandemic has already subjected our operations, financial performance and financial condition to a number of risks, including, but not limited to those discussed below:
3538


Business and operations risks: We continue to monitor the evolving situation relating to COVID-19 to determine whether we will need to significantly modify our business practices or take actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, suppliers and shareholders. We have had a number of smaller manufacturing locations that have experienced periods of shutdowns. Future shutdowns will be dependent on facts and circumstances as they unfold, including based on the restrictions and limitations noted above. Additional shutdowns, while not required by governmental authorities, may be necessary to match our production of materials to the reduced demand of our customers. In addition, given these factors and potential further disruptions, we may be unable to perform fully on our contracts and our costs may increase as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. We may also face challenges in restoring our production levels if and when COVID-19 abates, including as a result of government-imposed or other limitations that prevent the return of all or a portion of our workforce and/or continue to disrupt demand and limit the capabilities of our suppliers. We continue to monitor the situation, to assess further possible implications to our business, employees, customers and supply chain, and to take actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences. As a result of COVID-19 and its potential impact on the aerospace industry, the possibility exists that a sustained impact to our operations, financial results and market capitalization may require material impairments of our assets including, but not limited to, goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived assets, and right-of-use assets. While we have already commenced plans to reduce costs, including certain headcount reductions, reductions in certain cash outflows, suspension of our common stock dividend and reductions in the levels of our capital expenditures, we cannot at this time predict the longer term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Customer and supplier risks: We have limited visibility into future demand given the disruptions resulting from COVID-19. The sharp decrease in air travel resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak and the measures governments and private organizations worldwide have implemented in an attempt to contain its spread is adversely affecting, and will likely continue to adversely affect, airlines and airframers and their respective demand for our customers’ products and services. Aircraft manufacturers are reducing production rates due to fewer expected aircraft deliveries and, as a result, demand for products in the original equipment manufacturer market has significantly decreased. Several of our aerospace and commercial transportation customers have temporarily suspended operations at certain production sites, reduced operations and production rates and/or taken cost-cutting actions, the duration and extent of which we cannot predict, including, but not limited to, General Electric Company, Raytheon Technologies Corporation and The Boeing Company, and Raytheon Technologies Corporation, which represented approximately 12%11%, 9% and 9%8%, respectively, of our third partythird-party sales for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020. Due to these cost-cutting measures and others, we are experiencing, and expect to continue experiencing, lower demand and volume for products and services, customer requests for potential payment deferrals, pricing concessions or other contract modifications, delays of deliveries and the achievement of other billing milestones. COVID-19 may also limit the ability of our counterparties generally to perform their obligations to us, including, but not limited to, our customers’ ability to make timely payments to us. These trends may lead to charges, impairments and other adverse financial impacts over time, as noted above, as we have historically depended upon the strength of these industries, particularly the aerospace industry. In addition, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact customer contract negotiations, including the ability to negotiate acceptable terms in contract renewal negotiations and our ability to obtain new customers. Similarly, our suppliers may not have the materials, capacity, or capability to manufacture our products according to our schedule and specifications. To date, we have not experienced significant disruption to our supply chain. If our suppliers’ operations were to be impacted, we may need to seek alternate suppliers, which may be more expensive, may not be available or may result in delays in shipments to us and subsequently to our customers, each of which would affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. The duration of the current disruptions to our customers and to our supply chain, and related financial impact to us, cannot be estimated at this time. Should such disruption continue for an extended period of time, the impact will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. Ultimately, the demand for our products is, in turn, driven by demand for transportation and for people to travel within and between various countries around the world. Should the COVID-19 outbreak cause a long term deterioration in demand for transportation or travel due to fear or anxiety related to health concerns, governmental restriction, economic hardships, or increased use of electronic communication technologies embraced during the COVID-19 related shutdowns, the effects of the COVID-19 virus on our business may extend well beyond the COVID-19 current health crisis and immediate related governmental actions.
Market risks: The current financial market dynamics and volatility pose heightened risks to our liquidity. For example, dramatically lowered interest rates and lower expected asset valuations and returns can materially impact the calculation of long-term liabilities such as our pension. In addition, extreme volatility in financial and commodities markets has had and may continue to have adverse impacts on other asset valuations such as the value of the investment portfolios supporting our pension. Our long-term liabilities are sensitive to numerous factors and assumptions that can move in offsetting directions and should be considered as of the time of a relevant measurement event.

Liquidity and credit risks: We currently have the ability to borrow up to $1.0 billion under our revolving credit agreement, which was amended in June 2020. A prolonged period of generating lower financial results and cash from
36


operations could adversely affect our ability to draw under such amended revolving credit agreement, could also adversely affect our financial condition, including in respect of satisfying both required and voluntary pension funding requirements, and could otherwise negatively affect our ability to achieve our strategic objectives. These factors could also adversely affect our ability to maintain compliance with the debt covenants under our amended revolving credit agreement, including as a result of potential increases in net debt or future reductions in EBITDA. There can also be no assurance that we will not face credit rating downgrades as a result of weaker than anticipated performance of our businesses or other factors including overall market conditions. Future downgrades could further adversely affect our cost of funds and related margins, liquidity, competitive position and access to capital markets, and a significant downgrade could have an adverse commercial impact on our businesses. Conditions in the financial and credit markets may also limit the availability of funding or increase the cost of funding (including for receivables securitization or supply chain finance programs used to finance working capital) or our ability to refinance certain of our indebtedness, which could adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows. Although the U.S. federal and other governments have announced a number of funding programs to support businesses, our ability or willingness to access funding under such programs may be limited by regulations or other guidance, including eligibility criteria, or by further change or uncertainty related to the terms of these programs.

The COVID-19 pandemic may also exacerbate other risks disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Quarterly ReportReports on Form 10-Q for the quarterquarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, including, but not limited to, risks related to global economic conditions, competition, loss of customers, costs of supplies, manufacturing difficulties and disruptions, investment returns, our credit profile, our credit ratings and interest rates. We expect that the longer the period of disruption from COVID-19 continues, the more material the adverse impacts will be on our business operations, financial performance, results of operations and/or cash flows. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may also affect our operating and financial results in a manner that is not presently known to us or that we currently do not expect to present significant risks to our business, results of operations, financial conditions and/or cash flows.
