Arconic and subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(dollars in millions, except per-share amounts)

A. Basis of Presentation

The interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Arconic Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Arconic” 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 20162017 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 Arconic’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, which includes all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The separation of Alcoa Inc. into two standalone, publicly-traded companies,presentation (see below).

On January 1, 2018, Arconic Inc. (theadopted new name for Alcoa Inc.) and Alcoa Corporation, became effective on November 1, 2016 (the “Separation Transaction”). The financial results of Alcoa Corporation for all periods priorguidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) related to the Separation Transaction have been retrospectively reflected infollowing: presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost that required a reclassification of costs within the Statement of Consolidated Operations as discontinued operationsOperations; presentation of certain cash receipts and as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results forcash payments within the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The cash flows, equity and comprehensive income related to Alcoa Corporation have not been segregated and are included in the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows Statementthat required a reclassification of Changesamounts between operating and either financing or investing activities; and the classification of restricted cash within the statement of cash flows. See Note B for further details.
In January 2018, management changed the organizational structure of the businesses in Consolidated Equityits Engineered Products and Statement of Consolidated Comprehensive Income, respectively, for the third quarterSolutions (EP&S) segment, from four business units to three business units, with a focus on aligning its internal structure to core markets and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Pursuant to the authorization provided at a special meeting of Arconic common shareholders held on October 5, 2016, shareholders approved a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of Arconic’s outstandingcustomers and authorized shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).reducing cost. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every three shares of issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without anythis change in the parEP&S segment organizational structure, management assessed and concluded that each of the three business units represent reporting units for goodwill impairment evaluation purposes.  Also, as a result of the reorganization, goodwill was reallocated to the three new reporting units and evaluated for impairment during the first quarter of 2018.  The fair value per share. The Reverse Stock Split reducedof each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value; thus there was no goodwill impairment. More than 92% of Arconic’s total goodwill at March 31, 2018 was allocated to the number of shares of common stock outstanding from approximately 1.3 billion shares to approximately 0.4 billion shares. The Company’s common stock began trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on the New York Stock Exchange on October 6, 2016.

following three EP&S reporting units: Arconic Engines ($2,095), Arconic Fastening Systems ($1,623) and Arconic Engineered Structures ($517).

B. Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Adopted

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued changes to employee share-based payment accounting. Previously, an entity determined for each share-based payment award whether the difference between the deduction for tax purposes and the compensation cost recognized for financial reporting purposes resulted in either an excess tax benefit or a tax deficiency. Excess tax benefits were recognized in additional paid-in capital; tax deficiencies were recognized either as an offset to accumulated excess tax benefits, if any, or in the income statement. Excess tax benefits were not recognized until the deduction reduced taxes payable. The changes require all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to share-based payment awards to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. The tax effects of exercised or vested awards should be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity also should recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. In addition, the presentation of excess tax benefits related to share-based payment awards in the statement of cash flows changed. Previously, excess tax benefits were separated from other income tax cash flows and classified as a financing activity. The changes require excess tax benefits to be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity. Also, the changes require cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes to be classified as a financing activity. Further, for a share-based award to qualify for equity classification it previously could not be partially settled in cash in-excess of the employer’s minimum statutory withholding requirements. The changes permit equity classification of share-based awards for withholdings up to the maximum statutory tax rates in applicable jurisdictions. These changes became effective for Arconic on January 1, 2017. The prospective transition method was utilized for excess tax benefits in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. Management concluded that the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued changes eliminating the requirement for an investor to adjust an equity method investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence. In addition, an entity that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting must recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. These changes became effective for Arconic on January 1, 2017. Management determined that the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued changes to derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments. These changes clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. These changes became effective for Arconic on January 1, 2017. Management determined that the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for Intra-Entity transactions, other than inventory. Previously, no immediate tax impact was recognized in the consolidated financial statements as a result of intra-entity transfers of assets. The previous standard precluded an entity from reflecting a tax benefit or expense from an intra-entity transfer between entities that file separate tax returns, whether or not such entities were in different tax jurisdictions, until the asset was sold to a third party or otherwise recovered. The previous standard also prohibited recognition by the buyer of a deferred tax asset for the temporary difference arising from the excess of the buyer’s tax basis over the cost to the seller. The changes require the current and deferred income tax consequences of the intra-entity transfer to be recorded when the transaction occurs. The exception to defer the tax consequences of inventory transactions is maintained. These changes became effective for Arconic on January 1, 2017. Management determined that the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued changes to the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, which previously required measurement of any goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. An entity will perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value without exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Arconic has elected to early adopt this guidance as of January 1, 2017, and will apply it on a prospective basis. Management does not anticipate that the adoption of these changes will have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued changes which narrow the definition of a business and require an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, which would not constitute the acquisition of a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs. Arconic has elected to early adopt this guidance as of January 1, 2017, and will apply it on a prospective basis. Management does not anticipate that the adoption of these changes will have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Issued

In May 2014, the FASB issued changes to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. These changes created a comprehensive framework for all entities in all industries to apply in the determination of when to recognize revenue and, therefore, supersede virtually all existing revenue recognition requirements and guidance. This framework is expected to result in less complex guidance in application while providing a consistent and comparable methodology for revenue recognition. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s), (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s), and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the new guidance by one year, making theseThese changes became effective for Arconic on January 1, 2018.

Arconic will adopt theadopted this new guidance using the modified retrospective transition approach reflecting theapplied to those contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. There was no cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of initially applyingretained earnings in the new standard to revenue recognitionConsolidated Balance Sheet in the first quarter of 2018.

believes that revenue under certain of those contracts, primarily within the Engineered Products and Solutions segment, may be recognized over time due to the customized nature of certain of its products that have no alternative use combined with an enforceable right of payment from the customer in the event of termination of the contract. The Company is assessing the modification of certain contract terms that may impact point-in-time versus over-time revenue recognition. It is not anticipated that these modifications would result in significant changes to revenue, business practices or controls. The Company is continuing to assess the impact that over-time revenue recognition will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements; therefore an estimate of the impact of adopting this standard is not currently determinable. In addition, the Company is in the process of identifying appropriate changes to its business processes and controls, as well as preparing for revisions to accounting policies and expanded disclosures related to revenue recognition in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

further details.

In January 2016, the FASB issued changes to equity investments. These changes require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values atusing the measurement alternative of cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Also, the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values has been simplified by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. Also, the new guidance will requirerequired changes in fair value of equity securities to be recognized immediately as a component of net income instead of being reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss until the gain (loss) is realized.realized. These changes which will be applied on a prospective basis, becomebecame effective for Arconic on January 1, 2018. Management determined2018 and have been applied on a prospective basis. Arconic elected the measurement alternative for its equity investments that thedo not have readily determinable fair values. The adoption of these changes willthis guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued changes to the accounting and presentation of leases. These changes require lessees to recognize a right of use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize a right of use asset and lease liability. Additionally, when measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease, optional payments should be included only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease, exercise a purchase option, or not exercise an option to terminate the lease. These changes become effective for Arconic on January 1, 2019. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Consolidated Financial Statements, which will require right of use assets and lease liabilities be recorded in the consolidated balance sheet for operating leases. An estimate of the impact of this standard is not currently determinable.

In June 2016, the FASB added a new impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity 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. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. These changes become effective for Arconic on January 1, 2020. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Consolidated Financial Statements.



In August 2016, the FASB issued changes to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments within the statement of cash flows. The guidance identifies eight specific cash flow items and the sections where they must be presented within the statement of cash flows. These changes becomebecame effective for Arconic on January 1, 2018. Management2018 and have been be applied retrospectively. As of result of the adoption, Arconic reclassified cash received related to beneficial interest in previously transferred trade accounts receivables from operating activities to investing activities in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. This new accounting standard does not expect these changesreflect a change in our underlying business or activities. The reclassification of cash received related to have a material impact onbeneficial interest in previously transferred trade accounts receivables was $95 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.  Also, Arconic will reclassify cash paid for debt prepayments including extinguishment costs from operating activities to financing activities in the Statement of Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash Flows in the period when such activity occurs, however there were no such extinguishment costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

In November 2016, the FASB issued changes to the classification of cash and cash equivalents within the statement of cash flow statement.flow. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included within the cash and cash equivalents line on the cash flow statement and a reconciliation must be prepared to the statement of financial position. Transfers between restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents and cash and cash equivalents will no longer be presented as cash flow activities in the statementStatement of cash flowsConsolidated Cash Flows and for material balances of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents mustArconic will disclose information regarding the nature of the restrictions. These changes becomebecame effective for Arconic on January 1, 2018.2018 and have been applied retrospectively. Management has determined that the adoption of these changes willthis guidance did not have a material impact on the Statement of Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued changes to shorten the amortization periodCash Flows. See Note O for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. These changes become effective for Arconic on January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. Management determined that the adoption of these changes will not have a material impactdetail on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

balance of restricted cash.

In March 2017, the FASB issued changes to the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The new guidance requires registrants to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item or items as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Also, only the service cost component will be eligible for asset capitalization. Registrants will present the other components of net periodic benefit cost separately from the service cost component; and, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net periodic benefit cost must be disclosed. These changes becomebecame effective for Arconic on January 1, 2018 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new standard must beand were adopted retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement,Statement of Consolidated Operations, and prospectively for the asset capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost. The Company currently records non-servicerecorded the service related net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost within Cost of goods sold, Selling, general administrative, and other expenses and Research and development expenses and uponrecorded the adoption of this standard will benon-service related net periodic benefit cost (except for the curtailment cost which was recorded in Restructuring and other charges) separately from service cost in the Other income,expense (income), net line item inwithin the Statement of Consolidated Operations. The impact of the retrospective adoption of this standard update will beguidance was an increase to consolidated operatingOperating income of approximately $150$38 while there will bewas no impact to consolidated netNet income for the yearquarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of prospectively adopting the asset capitalization of only the service cost component on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued clarification to guidance on the modification accounting criteria for share-based payment awards. The new guidance requires registrants to apply modification accounting unless three specific criteria are met. The three criteria are 1) the fair value of the award is the same before and after the modification, 2) the vesting conditions are the same before and after the modification and 3) the classification as a debt or equity award is the same before and after the modification. These changes becomebecame effective for Arconic on January 1, 2018 and are to bewere applied prospectively to new awards grantedmodified after adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Issued
In February 2016, the FASB issued changes to the accounting and presentation of leases. These changes require lessees to recognize a right of use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize a right of use asset and lease liability. Also, when measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease, optional payments should be included only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease, exercise a purchase option, or not exercise an option to terminate the lease. These changes become effective for Arconic on January 1, 2019.  Arconic’s current operating lease portfolio is primarily comprised of land and buildings, plant equipment, vehicles, and computer equipment.  A cross-functional implementation team is in the process of determining the scope of arrangements that will be subject to this standard as well as assessing the impact to the Company’s systems, processes and internal controls.  Arconic has contracted with a third-party vendor to implement a software solution.  Concurrently, Arconic is compiling lease data to be uploaded into the software solution to account for leases under the new standard.  Management is evaluating the impact of these changes on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, which will require right of use assets and lease liabilities be recorded for operating leases; therefore, an estimate of the impact is not currently determinable.  However, the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Statement of Consolidated Operations or Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows.
In June 2016, the FASB added a new impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity 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. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. These changes become effective for Arconic on January 1, 2020. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance that will make more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess effectiveness. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. These changes become effective for Arconic on January 1, 2019. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing at the date of adoption, Arconic will apply a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendment is adopted. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changesthis guidance on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

11


In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance that allows a reclassification from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Accumulated deficit for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017. These changes become effective for Arconic on January 1, 2019.  Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on the Consolidated Financial Statements.



C. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company's contracts with customers are comprised of purchase orders along with standard terms and conditions, and for larger customers, may also generally include a long-term agreement. These contracts with customers typically consist of the manufacture of products which represent single performance obligations that are satisfied upon transfer of control of the product to the customer. The Company produces fastening systems; seamless rolled rings; investment castings, including airfoils and forged jet engine components; extruded, machined and formed aircraft parts; aluminum sheet and plate; integrated aluminum structural systems; architectural extrusions; and forged aluminum commercial vehicle wheels. Transfer of control is assessed based on alternative use of the products we produce and our enforceable right to payment for performance to date under the contract terms. Transfer of control and revenue recognition generally occur upon shipment or delivery of the product, which is when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer and is based on the applicable shipping terms. The shipping terms vary across all businesses and depend on the product, the country of origin, and the type of transportation (truck, train, or vessel). An invoice for payment is issued at time of shipment and terms are generally net 30 days. Our business units set commercial terms on which Arconic sells products to its customers. These terms are influenced by industry custom, market conditions, product line (specialty versus commodity products), and other considerations.

D. Segment Information
Arconic is a global leader in lightweight metals engineering and manufacturing. Arconic’s innovative, multi-material products, which include aluminum, titanium, and nickel, are used worldwide in aerospace, automotive, commercial transportation, building and construction, industrial applications, defense, and packaging. Arconic’s segments are organized by product on a worldwide basis. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company changed its primary measure of segment performance from Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to Segment operating profit, which more closely aligns segment performance with Operating income as presented in the Statement of Consolidated Operations. Segment performance under Arconic’s management reporting system is evaluated based on a number of factors; however, the primary measure of performance is Segment operating profit. Arconic’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 also includes certain items that, under the previous segment performance measure, were recorded in Corporate, such as the impact of LIFO inventory accounting, metal price lag, intersegment profit eliminations, and derivative activities. Segment operating profit may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Prior period financial information has been recast to conform to current year presentation. Differences between segment totals and consolidated Arconic are in Corporate.

E. Restructuring and Other Charges
In the first quarter of 2018, Arconic recorded Restructuring and other charges of $7 ($5 after-tax), which included $5 ($4 after-tax) for pension curtailment charges; $4 ($3 after-tax) for layoff costs, including the separation of approximately 16 employees (all in Corporate); a charge of $2 ($1 after-tax) for other miscellaneous items; and a benefit of $4 ($3 after-tax) for the reversal of a number of small layoff reserves related to prior periods.
In the first quarter of 2017, Arconic recorded Restructuring and other charges of $73 ($69 after-tax), which included $19 ($13 after-tax) for layoff costs related to cost reduction initiatives, including the separation of approximately 328 employees (114 in the Engineered Products and Solutions segment, 132 in the Global Rolled Products segment, 40 in the Transportation and Construction Solutions segment, and 42 in Corporate); a charge of $60 ($60 after-tax) related to the sale of the Fusina, Italy rolling mill; a net benefit of $5 ($3 after-tax) for other miscellaneous items; and a benefit of $1 ($1 after-tax) for the reversal of a number of small layoff reserves related to prior periods.
As of March 31, 2018, approximately 8 of the 16 employees associated with 2018 restructuring programs and approximately 430 of the 830 employees (previously 880) associated with 2017 restructuring programs (with planned departures in 2018) were separated; all of the separations associated with 2016 restructuring programs were essentially complete. Most of the remaining separations for the 2018 restructuring programs and all of the remaining separations for the 2017 restructuring programs, are expected to be completed by the end of 2018.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, cash payments of $1 were made against layoff reserves related to 2018 restructuring programs, cash payments of $15 were made against layoff reserves related to 2017 restructuring programs, and cash payments of $4 were made against the layoff reserves related to 2016 restructuring programs.

Service cost was included within Cost of goods sold, Selling, general administrative, and other expenses, and Research and development expenses; curtailments were included in Restructuring and other charges; and all other cost components were recorded in Other expense (income), net in the Statement of Consolidated Operations.

On April 1, 2018, benefit accruals for future service and compensation under all of the Company's qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans for U.S. salaried and non-bargaining hourly employees ceased. As a result of this change, in the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a decrease to the accrued pension benefit liability of $136 related to the reduction of future benefits ($141 offset in Accumulated other comprehensive loss) and curtailment charges of $5 in Restructuring and other charges.
In conjunction with the separation of Alcoa Inc. on November 1, 2016, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation approved management’s plan to separate the Alcoa Inc. pension plans between Arconic Inc. and Alcoa Corporation. The plan stipulates that Arconic will make cash contributions over a period of 30 months (from November 1, 2016) to its two largest pension plans. Payments are expected to be made in three increments of no less than $50 each ($150 total) over this 30-month period. The Company made payments of $50 in March 2018 and $50 in April 2017. Upon finalization of 2018 pension plan valuations, additional cash contributions that were made in the first quarter of 2018 may be used to satisfy the $150 requirement.
H. Income Taxes
Arconic’s year-to-date tax provision is comprised of the most recent estimated annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date pre-tax ordinary income. The tax impact of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgement about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are recorded discretely in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, the tax provision is adjusted for the interim period impact of non-benefited pre-tax losses.
For the first quarter of 2018, the estimated annual effective tax rate applied to ordinary income was 26.5%. This rate is higher than the federal statutory rate of 21%, which was enacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("the 2017 Act") on December 22, 2017, primarily due to additional estimated U.S. tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) pursuant to the 2017 Act, domestic income taxable in certain U.S. states no longer subject to a valuation allowance, and foreign income taxed in higher rate jurisdictions.
For the first quarter of 2017, the estimated annual effective tax rate applied to ordinary income was 31.6%. This rate is lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% applicable to 2017 primarily due to foreign income taxed in lower rate jurisdictions, tax basis in excess of book basis of Alcoa Corporation common stock sold in February 2017, partially offset by a loss on the sale of a rolling mill in Fusina, Italy for which no net tax benefit was recognized.


For the first quarter of 2018 and 2017, the tax rate including discrete items was 28.1% and 33.5%, respectively. A discrete charge of $2 was recorded for the first quarter of 2018 and was primarily related to stock compensation. A discrete charge of $1 was recorded for the first quarter of 2017 and was primarily related to stock compensation offset by other prior period adjustments.
The tax provisions for the first quarter of 2018 and 2017 were comprised of the following:
 First quarter ended

On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Act was signed into law, making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a U.S. corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the non-previously taxed post-1986 foreign earnings and profits of certain U.S.-owned foreign corporations as of December 31, 2017. Also on December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"), Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, was issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission to address the application of U.S. GAAP for financial reporting. SAB 118 permits the use of provisional amounts based on reasonable estimates in the financial statements. SAB 118 also provides that the tax impact may be considered incomplete in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the 2017 Act. Any adjustments to provisional or incomplete amounts should be included in income from continuing operations as an adjustment to tax expense or benefit in the reporting period that the amounts are determined within one year.
In the fourth quarter of 2017, Arconic recorded a $272 tax charge for the impact of the 2017 Act’s tax rate reduction and one-time transition tax; the impact of both the rate reduction and one-time transition tax were provisional amounts in the 2017 provision for income taxes. No adjustments to these provisional amounts have been recorded in the first quarter of 2018. The impact of the rate reduction will be finalized as part of the filing of the 2017 U.S. income tax return during 2018. Arconic will continue to analyze the amount of foreign earnings and profits, the associated foreign tax credits, and additional guidance that may be issued during 2018 in order to update the estimated deemed repatriation calculation as necessary under SAB 118. Arconic has not yet gathered, prepared and analyzed all the necessary information in sufficient detail to determine whether any excess foreign tax credits that may result from the deemed repatriation will be realizable.
Provisional estimates of the impact of the 2017 Act on the realizability of certain deferred tax assets, including, but not limited to, foreign tax credits, alternative minimum tax credits, and state tax loss carryforwards have been made based on information and computations that were available, prepared, and analyzed as of February 2, 2018. Through March 31, 2018, there were no changes to the provisional estimates of the impact of the 2017 Act or the estimates used to evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets. Further analysis, or the issuance of additional guidance, could result in changes to the realizability of deferred tax assets.
As a result of the 2017 Act, the non-previously taxed post-1986 foreign earnings and profits (calculated based on U.S. tax principles) of certain U.S.-owned foreign corporations has been subject to U.S. tax under the one-time transition tax provisions. In the fourth quarter of 2017, Arconic had no plans to distribute such earnings in the foreseeable future and considered that conclusion to be incomplete under SAB 118. There is no change to this conclusion through March 31, 2018.
The 2017 Act creates a new requirement that certain income earned by foreign subsidiaries, GILTI, must be included in the gross income of the U.S. shareholder. The 2017 Act also established the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT). Arconic anticipates that it will be subject to GILTI and has included an estimate of GILTI in the calculation of the 2018 estimated annual effective tax rate. At this time, Arconic does not anticipate being subject to BEAT for 2018. During the first quarter of 2018, Arconic has made a final accounting policy election to treat taxes due on future inclusions in U.S. taxable income related to GILTI as a current period expense when incurred.


I. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) amounts are computed by dividing earnings, after the deduction of preferred stock dividends declared, by the average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS amounts assume the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive share equivalents outstanding.

K. Receivables
Arconic has an arrangement with three financial institutions to sell certain customer receivables without recourse on a revolving basis. The sale of such receivables is completed using a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, which is a consolidated subsidiary of Arconic. This arrangement provides for minimum funding of $200 up to a maximum of $400 for receivables sold. Arconic maintains a beneficial interest, or a right to collect cash, on the sold receivables that have not been funded (deferred purchase program).  On March 30, 2012, Arconic initially sold $304 of customer receivables in exchange for $50 cash and $254 of deferred purchase program under the arrangement. Arconic has received additional net cash funding of $300 ($2,508 in draws and $2,208 in repayments) since the program’s inception, including net cash draws totaling $0 ($150 in draws and $150 in repayments) for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the deferred purchase program receivable was $320 and $187, 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 gross amount of receivables sold and total cash collected under this program since its inception was $36,938 and $36,268, respectively. Arconic 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 already been previously sold in this program) 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.

D. Restructuring and Other Charges

In

Public Debt – During the thirdfirst quarter of 2017, Arconic2018, the Company completed the early redemption of its remaining outstanding 5.72% Notes due in 2019, with aggregate principal amount of $500, for $518 in cash including accrued and unpaid interest. As a result, the Company recorded Restructuring and other charges of $19 ($13 after-tax), which included $11 ($8 after-tax) for layoff costs related to cost reduction initiatives including the separation of 124 employees (111 in the Engineered Products and Solutions segment, 12 in Corporate and 1 in the Global Rolled Products segment); and a net charge of $8 ($5 after-tax) for other miscellaneous items.

In the first nine months of 2017, Arconic recorded Restructuring and other charges of $118 ($99 after-tax), which included $59 ($40 after-tax) for layoff costs related to cost reduction initiatives including the separation of approximately 800 employees (350 in the Engineered Products and Solutions segment, 243 in the Global Rolled Products segment, 133 in the Transportation and Construction Solutions segment and 74 in Corporate); a charge of $60 ($60 after-tax) related$19 in Interest expense in the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 primarily for the premium paid on the early redemption of these notes in excess of their carrying value.

O. Financial Instruments
Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (i) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (ii) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the salefair value measurement and unobservable.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash, Short-term debt. The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the Fusina, Italy rolling mill; a net benefitshort maturity of $6 ($4 after-tax),the instruments. The fair value amounts for Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash were classified in Level 1, and Short-term debt was classified in Level 2.
Derivatives. The fair value of derivative contracts classified as Level 1 was based on identical unrestricted assets and liabilities. The fair value of derivative contracts classified as Level 2 was based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the reversalasset or liability (e.g., interest rates).
Noncurrent receivables. The fair value of forfeited executive stock compensationnoncurrent receivables was based on anticipated cash flows, which approximates carrying value, and was classified in Level 2 of $13, partially offset by a charge of $7 for the related severance; a net charge of $7 ($5 after-tax) for other miscellaneous items; and a favorable benefit of $2 ($2 after-tax) for the reversal of a number of small layoff reserves related to prior periods.

In the third quarter of 2016, Arconic recorded Restructuring and other charges of $3 ($2 after-tax), which included $4 ($2 after-tax) for layoff costs related to cost reduction initiatives and the separation of Alcoa Inc. (see Note G), including the separation of approximately 70 employees (60 in the Engineered Products and Solutions segment and 10 in Corporate); a net charge of $7 ($5 after-tax) for other miscellaneous items; and a favorable benefit of $8 ($5 after-tax) for the reversal of a number of small layoff reserves related to prior periods.

In the first nine months of 2016, Arconic recorded Restructuring and other charges of $33 ($22 after-tax), which included $34 ($21 after-tax) for layoff costs related to cost reduction initiatives and the separation of Alcoa Inc. (see Note G), including the separation of approximately 1,140 employees (860 in the Engineered Products and Solutions segment, 30 in the Global Rolled Products segment, 240 in the Transportation and Construction Solutions segment, and 10 in Corporate); a net charge of $14 ($9 after-tax) for other miscellaneous items; and a net favorable benefit of $15 ($8 after-tax) for the reversal of a number of small layoff reserves related to prior periods.

Long-term debt, less amount due within one year. The fair value was based on quoted market prices for public debt and on interest rates that are currently available to Arconic for issuance of debt with 2017 restructuring programs, approximately 1,200similar terms and maturities for non-public debt. The fair value amounts for all Long-term debt were classified in Level 2 of the 1,750 employees (previously 1,800) associated with 2016 restructuring programs (with planned departures in 2017), and approximately 1,120 of the 1,220 employees (previously 1,240) associated with the 2015 restructuring programs were separated. The total number of employees associated with both the 2016 and 2015 restructuring programs was updated to reflect employees who, initially identified for separation, accepted other positions within Arconic, as well as natural attrition. Most of the remaining separations for the 2017 restructuring programs are expected to be completed in 2017 and 2018. All of the remaining separations for the 2016 and 2015 restructuring programs are expected to be completed by the end of 2017.

In the 2017 third quarter and nine-month period, cash payments of $11 and $13, respectively, were made against layoff reserves related to 2017 restructuring programs, cash payments of $3 and $23, respectively, were made against layoff reserves related to 2016 restructuring programs, and cash payments of $1 and $5, respectively, were made against the layoff reserves related to 2015 restructuring programs.

In 2016, Other for other exit costs also included reclassifications of $8 in asset retirement, $2 in environmental obligations and $4 in legal obligations as these liabilities were included in Arconic’s separate reserves for asset retirement obligations, environmental remediation and legal costs.

The remaining reserves are expected to be paid in cash during the remainder of 2017, except for approximately $15 to $20, which is expected to be paid within the next year for layoffs.

As part of its ongoing restructuring in Brazil, the Company anticipates recognizing a restructuring-related charge of approximately $30 - $50 in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to its extrusions business which is part of the Transportation and Construction Solutions segment. The charge relates to the noncash impairment of the net bookfair value of the business.

The Company had recorded the retained interest as a cost method investment in Investment in common stock of Alcoa Corporation in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of Arconic’s retained interest in Alcoa Corporation was $0 and $1,020 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The fair value was based on the closing stock price of Alcoa Corporation as of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016 multiplied by the number of shares of Alcoa Corporation common stock owned by the Company at those respective dates. As of May 4, 2017, the Company no longer maintained a retained interest in Alcoa Corporation common stock.

Q. Contingencies and Commitments

Contingencies

Environmental Matters

Arconic participates in environmental assessments and cleanups at more than 100 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.

Arconic’s remediation reserve balance was $292 at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and $308$294 at December 31, 20162017 (of which $39$40 and $48,$41, respectively, was 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 $10 and $17$3 in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.March 31, 2018. This amount includes expenditures currently mandated, as well as those not required by any regulatory authority or third party.

17


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 following discussion provides details regarding the current status of the most significant reserveremediation reserves related to a current Arconic site.

Massena West, NY—Arconic has an ongoing remediation project related to the Grasse River, which is adjacent to Arconic’s Massena plant site. Many years ago, it was determined that sediments and fish in the river contain varying levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The project, which was selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)(EPA) in a Record of Decision issued in April 2013, is aimed at capping PCB contaminated sediments with concentration in excess of one part per million in the main channel of the river and dredging PCB contaminated sediments in the near-shore areas where total PCBs exceed one part per million. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the reserve balance associated with this matter was $221$213 and $228,$215, respectively. Arconic is in the planning and design phase of the project, which is expected to be completed in 2018. InFollowing the third quartersubmittal of 2017, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) sent a letter to USEPA requesting a revision to the draft design. The USEPA has not responded to the NYSDEC letter but the request has put on hold Arconic’s preparation of a final design and extended the expected submittal into 2018. Following submittal and USEPAEPA approval, of the final design, the actual remediation fieldwork is expected to commence and take approximately four years. The majority of the project funding is expected to be incurred between 2018 and 2022.

Tax

Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement entered into between Arconic and Alcoa Corporation in connection with the Separation Transaction,separation transaction with Alcoa Corporation, Arconic shares responsibility with Alcoa Corporation, and Alcoa Corporation has agreed to partially indemnify Arconic, with respect to the following matter.

As previously reported, in September 2010,July 2013, following a corporate income tax audit covering the 20032006 through 20052009 tax years, an assessment was received as a result of Spain’s tax authorities disallowing certain interest deductions claimed by a Spanish consolidated tax group owned by the Company. An appeal of thisThe assessment in Spain’s Central Tax Administrative Court by the Company was denied in October 2013.is $161 (€130), including interest. In DecemberAugust 2013, the Company filed an appeal of the assessment in Spain’s National Court. On January 16, 2017, Spain’s National Court issued a decision in favor of the Company. The Spanish Tax Administration did not file an appeal within the applicable period. Based on this decision and recent confirming correspondence from the Spanish Tax Administration, the matter is now closed. The Company will not be responsible for any assessment related to the 2003 through 2005 tax years.

In addition, following a corporate income tax audit of the same Spanish consolidated tax group for the 2006 through 2009 tax years, Spain’s tax authorities issued an assessment in July 2013 similarly disallowing certain interest deductions. In August 2013, Arconic filed an appeal of this second assessment in Spain’s Central Tax Administrative Court, which was denied in January 2015. Arconic filed another appeal of this second assessment in Spain’s National Court in March 2015. Spain’s National Court has not yet rendered a decision related to the assessment received in July 2013. The assessment for the 2006 through 2009 tax years is $152 (€129), including interest.

Finally, the Spanish consolidated tax group had been under audit (beginning in September 2015) for the 2010 through 2013 tax years. In August 2017, the Company reached a settlement of this audit. The settlement amount is not material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. While the 2010 through 2013 tax years are closed to audit, it is possible that the Company may receive similar assessments from Spain’s tax authorities for years subsequent to 2013. assessment.

The Company believes it has meritorious arguments to support its tax position for all years and intends to continue to vigorously litigate assessments through Spain’s court system.the assessment. However, in the event the Company is unsuccessful, a portion of the assessmentsassessment may be offset with existing net operating losses available to the Spanish consolidated tax group, which would be shared between Arconicthe Company and Alcoa Corporation as provided for in the Tax Matters Agreement relatedAgreement. Additionally, while the tax years 2010 through 2013 are closed to audit, it is possible that the Separation Transaction.Company may receive similar assessments for tax years subsequent to 2013. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably predict an ultimate outcome for this matter.

Reynobond PE

Howard v. Arconic Inc. et al.As previously reported, on June 13, 2017, the Grenfell Tower in London, UK caught fire resulting in fatalities, injuries and damage. A French subsidiary of Arconic, Arconic Architectural Products SAS (AAP SAS), 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 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 Metro Police, a Public Inquiry by the British government and a consumer protection inquiry by a French public authority. AAP SAS has filed an application seeking core participant status in the Public Inquiry.

18


In August and September 2017, two purported class action complaints were filed against Arconic and certain officers, directors and/or other parties, alleging that, in light ofcomplaint 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 on August 25, 2017, under the caption Sullivan v. Arconic Inc. et al., against Arconic Inc., two former Arconic executives, several current and former Arconic directors, and banks that acted as underwriters for Arconic’s September 18, 2014 preferred stock offering (the “Preferred Offering”). The plaintiff in Sullivan had previously filed a purported class action against the same defendants on July 18, 2017 in the Southern District of New York and, on August 25, 2017, voluntarily dismissed that action without prejudice. On February 7, 2018, on motion from certain Company filings withputative class members, the Securities court consolidated Howard and Exchange CommissionSullivan, closed Sullivan, and appointed lead plaintiffs in the consolidated case. On April 9, 2018, the lead plaintiffs in the consolidated purported class action filed a consolidated amended complaint. The consolidated amended complaint alleges that the registration statement for the Preferred Offering contained false and misleading disclosuresstatements and omissions in violationomitted to state material information, including by allegedly failing to disclose material uncertainties and trends resulting from sales of Reynobond PE for unsafe uses and by allegedly expressing a belief that appropriate risk management and compliance programs had been adopted while concealing the risks posed by Reynobond PE sales. The consolidated amended complaint also alleges that between November 4, 2013 and June 23, 2017 Arconic and Kleinfeld made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information about the Company’s commitment to safety, business and financial prospects, and the risks of the federal securities laws.

Reynobond PE product, including in Arconic’s Form 10-Ks for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, its Form 10-Qs and quarterly financial press releases from the fourth quarter of 2013 through the first quarter of 2017, its 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 Annual Reports, and its 2016 Annual Highlights Report. The consolidated amended complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and an award of attorney and expert fees and expenses.

While the Company believes that these cases arethis case is without merit and intends to challenge themit vigorously, there can be no assurances regarding the ultimate resolution of these matters.this matter. Given the preliminary nature of these mattersthis matter and the uncertainty of 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. The Board of Directors has also received letters, purportedly sent on behalf of shareholders, reciting allegations similar to those made in the federal court lawsuitslawsuit and demanding that the Board authorize the Company to initiate litigation against members of management, the Board and others. The Board of Directors is reviewinghas appointed a Special Litigation Committee of the Board to review these shareholder demand letters and consideringconsider the appropriate course of action. In addition, lawsuits are pending in state court in New York and federal court in Pennsylvania, initiated, respectively, by another purported shareholder and by the Company, concerning the shareholder’s claimed right, which the Company contests, to inspect the Company’s books and records related to the Grenfell Tower fire and Reynobond PE.

Other

In addition to the matters discussed above, various other lawsuits, claims, and proceedings have been or may be instituted or asserted against Arconic, including those pertaining to environmental, product liability, safety and health, employment, and tax 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.

I. Segment Information

R. Subsequent Events
Management evaluated all activity of Arconic isand concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosure in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, except as noted below:
See Note P for further details of a producersubsequent event related to the sale of multi-material products including sheet, plate, precision castings, forgings, rolled rings,the Latin America extrusions wheels and fasteners. Arconic’s products are used worldwidebusiness.
On April 13, 2018, the United Auto Workers ratified a new five-year labor agreement, effective May 1, 2018 covering approximately 1,300 U.S. employees of Arconic.  A provision within the agreement includes a retirement benefit increase for future retirees that participate in transportation (including aerospace, automotive, truck, trailer, rail, and shipping), packaging, building and construction, oil and gas, defense, and industrial applications. Arconic’s segments are organized by product on a worldwide basis.defined benefit pension plan, which impacts approximately 300 of those employees. In the first quarteraddition, effective January 1, 2019, benefit accruals for future service will cease.  As result of 2017, the Company changed its primary measurethese changes, a curtailment charge of segment performance from After-tax operating income (ATOI) to Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Segment performance under Arconic’s management reporting system is evaluated based on a number of factors; however, the primary measure of performance is Adjusted EBITDA. Arconic’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation and amortization and special items. Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation and amortization. The Adjusted EBITDA presented may notapproximately $10 will be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Items required to reconcile Combined segment adjusted EBITDA to Net income attributable to Arconic include: the Provision for depreciation and amortization;recorded in Restructuring and other charges; the impact of LIFO inventory accounting; metal price lag (the timing difference created when the average price of metal sold differs from the average cost of the metal when purchased by the respective segment — generally, when the price of metal increases, metal price lag is favorable, and when the price of metal decreases, metal price lag is unfavorable); corporate expense (general administrative and selling expenses of operating the corporate headquarters and other global administrative facilities and corporate research and development expenses); other items, including intersegment profit eliminations; Other income, net; Interest expense; Income tax expense; and the results of discontinued operations. Prior period information has been recast to conform to current year presentation.

K. Receivables

Arconic has an arrangement with three financial institutions to sell certain customer receivables without recourse on a revolving basis. The sale of such receivables is completed using a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, which is a consolidated subsidiary of Arconic. This arrangement provides for minimum funding of $200 up to a maximum of $400 for receivables sold. On March 30, 2012, Arconic initially sold $304 of customer receivables in exchange for $50 cash and $254 of deferred purchase program under the arrangement. Arconic has received additional net cash funding of $300 ($2,208 in draws and $1,908 in repayments) since the program’s inception, including net cash draws totaling $0 ($450 in draws and $450 in repayments) in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the deferred purchase program receivable was $238 and $83, 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 net change in the deferred purchase program receivable was reflected in the (Increase) in receivables line item on the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. This activity is reflected as an operating cash flow because the related customer receivables are the result of an operating activity with an insignificant, short-term interest rate risk.

The gross amount of receivables sold and total cash collected under this program since its inception was $34,004 and $33,416, respectively. Arconic services the customer receivables for the financial institutions at market rates; therefore, no servicing asset or liability was recorded.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company agreed to acquire the notes from the Investment Banks for $409 in cash plus its remaining investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock (12,958,767 shares valued at $35.91 per share) for total consideration of $874 including accrued and unpaid interest. The Company recorded a charge of $58 ($27 in cash) primarily for the premium for the early redemption of the notes, a benefit of $8 for the proceeds of a related interest rate swap agreement, and a charge of $2 for legal fees associated with the transaction in Interest expense, and recorded a gain of $167 in Other income, net in the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 for the Debt-for-Equity Exchange.

In conjunction with the Separation Transaction, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation approved management’s plan to separate the Alcoa Inc. pension plans between Arconic Inc. and Alcoa Corporation. The plan stipulates that Arconic will make cash contributions over a period of 30 months to its two largest pension plans. Payments are expected to be made in three increments of no less than $50 each ($150 total) over this 30-month period. The first payment of $50 was made on April 18, 2017.

N. Financial Instruments

Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (i) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (ii) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The carrying values and fair values of Arconic’s financial instruments were as follows:

The following methods were used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash, and Short-term borrowings.The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments. The fair value amounts for Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash were classified in Level 1, and Short-term borrowings were classified in Level 2.

Derivatives.The fair value of derivative contracts classified as Level 1 was based on identical unrestricted assets and liabilities. The fair value of derivative contracts classified as Level 2 was based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g. interest rates).

Noncurrent receivables.The fair value of noncurrent receivables was based on anticipated cash flows, which approximates carrying value, and was classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Available-for-sale securities.The fair value of such securities was based on quoted market prices. These financial instruments consist of exchange-traded fixed income and equity securities, which are carried at fair value and were classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investment in common stock of Alcoa Corporation.The fair value was based on the closing stock price of Alcoa Corporation on the New York Stock Exchange at December 31, 2016 multiplied by the number of shares of Alcoa Corporation common stock owned by Arconic at that date. This investment was classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company disposed of its remaining investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock in the second quarter of 2017.

Contingent payment related to an acquisition. The fair value was based on the net present value of expected future cash flows2018.

On April 18, 2018, Arconic Inc. disclosed that, effective April 20, 2018, Eric V. Roegner will no longer serve as Executive Vice President and was classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Long-term debt due within one yearGroup President, Engineered Products and Long-term debt, less amount due within one year. The fair value was based on quoted market prices for public debtSolutions, and on interest rates that are currently available to Arconic for issuance of debt with similar terms and maturities for non-public debt. The fair value amounts for all Long-term debt were classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

O. Subsequent Events

On October 2, 2017, all outstanding 24,975,978 depositary shares (each depositary share representing a 1/10th interest in a share of the mandatory convertible preferred stock) were converted at a rate of 1.56996 into 39,211,286 common shares; 24,022 depositary shares were previously tendered for early conversion into 31,428 sharesPresident of Arconic common stock. No gain or loss was recognized associated with this equity transaction.

On October 13, 2017, Alcoa Corporation announced that it had terminated an electricity contract with Luminant Generation Company LLC, effective as of October 1, 2017, that was tied to its Rockdale Operations in Texas. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement between Arconic and Alcoa Corporation, Arconic was required to provide a guarantee up to an estimated present value amount of approximately $485 related to this electricity contract for Alcoa Corporation’s facility in the event of an Alcoa Corporation payment default. As a result of the termination of the electricity contract by Alcoa Corporation, Arconic expects to record noncash non-operating income in the fourth quarter of 2017 of approximately $25 ($16 after-tax) associated with the reversal of the fair value of the guarantee which was included in Other noncurrent liabilities and deferred credits on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Results of Operations

Earnings Summary:

Sales.Sales increased $98, or 3%, and $262, or 3%, in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2016.2017. The increase in both periodsof $253, or 8%, was the result of strong volume growth across all segments, primarily in our Engineered Productsthe aerospace engines, automotive, and Solutions and Transportation and Construction Solutions segments andcommercial transportation end markets; higher aluminum pricing,prices; and favorable foreign currency movements; partially offset by the planned ramp down and Toll Processing and Services Agreement (the “Toll Processing Agreement”) relating to the Company’s North America packaging business in Tennessee in the Global Rolled Products segment, as well as unfavorable product pricing in both the Engineered Products and Solutions and Global Rolled Products segments. Pursuant to the Toll Processing Agreement that Arconic entered into with Alcoa Corporation on October 31, 2016 in connection with the Separation Transaction. Arconic provides can body stock to Alcoa Corporation using aluminum supplied by Alcoa Corporation, resulting in the absence of metal sales of $45 from the rolling mill in Fusina, Italy, which was sold in March 2017, and weakness in aerospace airframes production mix and the 2017 periods compared to the corresponding periods in 2016.

Cost of goods sold (COGS). COGS as a percentage of Sales was 81.1% and 79.5%80.3% in the thirdfirst quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,of 2018 compared to 79.8% and 78.9%77.0% in the thirdfirst quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.of 2017. The increase in both periods was primarily attributable to cost increases, includingthe result of higher aluminum prices, and ramp-up costs related to new commercial aerospace engines, and a lower marginunfavorable product mix partially offset by net cost savings.

Selling, general administrative, and other expenses (SG&A). SG&A expenses decreased $74were $172 in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018 compared to $217 in the first quarter of 2017. The decrease of $45, or 21%, was the result of costs incurred in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 as a result of expenses related to the Separation Transactionseparation of $54 in the prior year periodAlcoa Inc. of $18 and ongoing overhead cost reduction efforts (see Note D), partially offset by external legal and other advisory costs related to Grenfell Tower of $7 in the current year period

SG&A expenses decreased $93 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as a result of expenses related to the Separation Transaction of $117 in the prior year period compared to $18 in the current year period, as well as ongoing overhead cost reduction efforts (see Note D), partially offset by proxy, advisory and governance-related costs of $58 and external$16, neither of which recurred in 2018. Also, lower expenses driven by overhead cost reductions were partially offset by the impact of legal and other advisory costs of $5 related to Grenfell Tower of $7 in the current year period.

See Note E to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $114 in the first quarter of 2018 compared to $115 in the first quarter of 2017. The decrease of $1, or 1%, was due to a net benefitdecrease of $6 ($4 after-tax), for the reversal of forfeited executive stock compensation of $13, partially$20 primarily on lower debt outstanding, mostly offset by a charge of $7 for the related severance; a net charge of $7 ($5 after-tax) for other miscellaneous items; and a favorable benefit of $2 ($2 after-tax) for the reversal of a number of small layoff reserves$19 primarily related to prior periods.

As of September 30, 2017, approximately 155 of the 800 employees associated with 2017 restructuring programs, approximately 1,200 of the 1,750 employees (previously 1,800) associated with 2016 restructuring programs (with planned departures in 2017), and approximately 1,120 of the 1,220 employees (previously 1,240) associated with the 2015 restructuring programs were separated. The total number of employees associated with both the 2016 and 2015 restructuring programs was updated to reflect employees who, initially identified for separation, accepted other positions within Arconic, as well as natural attrition. Most of the remaining separations for the 2017 restructuring programs are expected to be completed in 2017 and 2018. All of the remaining separations for the 2016 and 2015 restructuring programs are expected to be completed by the end of 2017.

In the 2017 third quarter and nine-month period, cash payments of $11 and $13, respectively, were made against layoff reserves related to 2017 restructuring programs, cash payments of $3 and $23, respectively, were made against layoff reserves related to 2016 restructuring programs, and cash payments of $1 and $5, respectively, were made against the layoff reserves related to 2015 restructuring programs.

As part of its ongoing restructuring in Brazil, the Company anticipates recognizing a restructuring-related charge of approximately $30 - $50 in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to its extrusions business which is part of the Transportation and Construction Solutions segment. The charge relates to the noncash impairment of the net book value of the business.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $26, or 21%, in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 due to lower outstanding debt. During the second quarter of 2017, Arconic redeemed allearly redemption of the Company’s 6.50% Bonds due 2018 and 6.75%outstanding 5.72% Senior Notes due 2018, and a portion2019.

Other expense (income), net. Other expense, net was $20 in the first quarter of the Company’s 5.72% Notes due 2019 (see Note L) in advance of the expiration date. Interest expense increased $27, or 7%, during the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due to $76 of premiums paid for the early redemption noted above, partially offset by lower interest expense due to lower outstanding debt.

Other income, net. Other income, net decreased $10of $316 in the thirdfirst quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter2017. The decrease in other income of 2016,$336 was primarily due to the favorable post-closing adjustment$351 gain on the sale of a portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock in the first quarter of 2017 that did not recur.

Provision for income taxes. The annual effective tax rate applied to ordinary income from continuing operations was 26.5% and 31.6% in the first quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively, with the lower rate in 2018 reflecting a decrease in the U.S. corporate tax rate. Discrete charges of $2 and $1 were recorded in the first quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively, and unfavorable impacts of $1 and $7, respectively, were recorded related to the November 2014 acquisitioninterim period treatment of Firth Rixson thatlosses for which no tax benefit is recognized. See Note H to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net income. Net income was recorded$143 in the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.

Other income, net increased $4862018, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $322 in the nine months ended September 30,first quarter of 2017, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016or $0.65 per diluted share. The decrease of $179, or 56%, was primarily dueattributable to the gain on the sale of a portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock in the first quarter of $3512017 that did not recur, and higher aluminum prices. The first quarter of 2018 was negatively impacted by approximately $13 as a result of recently adopted accounting guidance whereby the non-service related net periodic pension cost and the gain of $167 on the debt-for-equity exchange with two investment banks (the “Investment Banks”) of the remaining portion of Arconic’s retained interest in Alcoa Corporation common stocknet periodic postretirement benefit cost are no longer eligible for a portion of the Company’s outstanding notes held by the Investment Banks (the “Debt-for-Equity Exchange”) (See Note G).

Provision for income taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Arconic’s estimated annual effective tax rate, before discrete items, was 28.5%. This rate is lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% due to foreign income taxed in lower rate jurisdictions, a tax basis in excess of book basis in Alcoa Corporation common stock sold (see Note G), and a nontaxable gain on the Debt-for-Equity Exchange (see Note L).asset capitalization. These beneficial itemsnegative impacts were partially offset by a loss on the sale of a rolling mill in Fusina, Italylower Restructuring and other charges and SG&A expenses, lower provision for which no net tax benefit was recognized (see Note E) and valuation allowances recorded against U.S. foreign tax credits.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Arconic’s estimated annual effective tax rate, before discrete items, was 56.0%. This rate is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to book basis in excess of tax basis of company-owned life insurance contracts that were sold during 2016, and separation expenses for which no tax benefit was recognized, partially offset by foreign income taxed in lower rate jurisdictions.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the tax rate including discrete items was 30.8% and 45.9% respectively. Discrete items of $2 were recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and primarily relate to the tax effects of expired stock compensation partially offset by other insignificant adjustments. Discrete items of $7 were recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and primarily relate to Arconic’s share of a valuation allowance recorded by one of our joint ventures and as-filed adjustments related to the Company’s 2015 U.S. tax return, partially offset by other discrete benefits.

Income from continuing operations after income taxes. Income from continuing operations after income taxes was $119 for the third quarter of 2017, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations after income taxes of $66 for the third quarter of 2016, or $0.11 per diluted share. The increase of $53 was primarily attributable to higher volumes and net cost savings across the businesses and the absence of expenses associated with the Separation Transaction, partially offset by higher LIFO inventory expense associated with higher aluminum prices, unfavorable product pricing, primarily in aerospace, and lower-margin product mix.

Income from continuing operations after income taxes was $653 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, or $1.31 per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations after income taxes of $229 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, or $0.40 per diluted share. The increase of $424 was primarily attributable to a gain of $351 on the sale of a portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock and a gain of $167 on the Debt-for-Equity Exchange; net cost savings; and higher volumes across all segments; partially offset by higher LIFO inventory expense associated with higher aluminum prices; the loss on sale of the Fusina, Italy rolling mill of $60; unfavorable product pricing, primarily in aerospace; and lower-margin product mix.

Discontinued operations.In the third quarter of 2016, net income attributable to Arconic included income of $120 from discontinued operations after income taxes, and $20 from discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interests. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net income attributable to Arconic included income of $146 from discontinued operations after income taxes and $58 from discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Segment Information

In the first quarter of 2017,2018, the Company changed its primary measure of segment performance from After-tax operating income (ATOI) to Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). to Segment operating profit, which more closely aligns segment performance with Operating income as presented in the Statement of Consolidated Operations. Segment performance under Arconic’s management reporting system is evaluated based on a number of factors; however, the primary measure of performance is Adjusted EBITDA.Segment operating profit. Arconic’s definition of Adjusted EBITDASegment operating profit is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation and amortization. Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative,Operating income excluding Special items. Special items include Restructuring and other expenses; Researchcharges and development expenses;Impairment of goodwill. Segment operating profit also includes certain items which under the previous segment performance measure were recorded in Corporate, such as the


impact of LIFO inventory accounting, metal price lag, intersegment profit eliminations, and Provision for depreciation and amortization. The Adjusted EBITDA presentedderivative activities. Segment operating profit may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $2savings.
In 2018, demand in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was the result of unfavorable product pricing, ramp up costs associated with increasing production volumes of new aerospace engine parts, and a lower margin product mix, largely offset by net cost savings and higher volumes.

In the fourth quarter of 2017, growth in demand from the commercial aerospace end market relativeis expected to remain strong, driven by the ramp-up of new aerospace engine platforms. Demand in the defense end market is expected to grow due to the fourth quartercontinuing ramp-up of 2016 iscertain aerospace programs, while declines in the industrial gas turbine market are likely to continue. Net cost savings are anticipated despite higher input costs, and pricing pressures and challenges at the rings and disks operations are expected along with continued net cost savings. These benefits will be partially offset by continued ramp up costs associated with the introduction of new commercial aerospace engines and unfavorable product pricing.

Russia Sanctions
On April 6, 2018, the U.S. Administration announced new sanctions against Russian “oligarchs” and extended those sanctions to companies majority-owned or substantively controlled by those oligarchs. These sanctions listed oligarchs and their companies as “Specially Designated Nationals” (SDNs), thus blocking U.S. persons - both individuals and companies - from engaging in transactions with them.  Among the impact ofnewly-listed SDNs was UC Rusal PLC (“Rusal”), which supplies primary aluminum to Arconic in Europe, the ramp-downUnited States, and to the Company’s Samara plant in Russia. Under additional regulations announced on April 23, 2018, companies have until October 23, 2018 to wind down their business with Rusal.


The Company expects to fully comply with these sanctions.  We continue to evaluate them, and their potential applicability to the Company’s business with Rusal.  The Samara plant continues to source metal from Rusal in compliance with the sanctions.  The Company has applied for guidance and/or licenses relating to the Company’s North America packaging business in Tennessee. Net cost savings are expectedability to continue.

(1)Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because Consolidated adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to Arconic’s operating performance. Additionally, presenting Consolidated adjusted EBITDA pursuant to our debt agreements is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate Arconic’s ability to comply with its financial debt covenants. The Consolidated adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The decreaseincrease in cash provided fromused for operations of $119,$41, or 57%10%, was primarily due to lowerhigher pension contributions of $124 and higher working capital of $70, partially offset by higher operating results (net income plus net add-back for noncash transactions in earnings) of $673,$119 and a favorable change in noncurrent assets of $35.

Cash used for financing activities was $918$542 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017first quarter of 2018 compared to $350$43 in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.first quarter of 2017. The increase in cash used for financing activitiesdecrease of $499, was primarily related to the early redemption of the Company’s 6.50% Bonds due 2018, 6.75% Notes due 2018, and a portion of theremaining outstanding 5.72% Notes due in 2019 (see Note L)N to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Arconic maintains a Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders and issuers named therein, which provides for a $3,000 senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) whichthat matures on July 25, 2020 unless extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The purpose of any borrowings under the Credit Facility is to provide for working capital requirements and for other general corporate purposes.

In addition to the Credit Agreement above, Arconic has a number of other credit agreements that provide a combined borrowing capacity of $715 as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, of which $175$500 is due to expire in 20172018 and $540$215 is due to expire in 2018.2019. The purpose of any borrowings under these credit arrangements is to provide for working capital requirements and for other general corporate purposes. The covenants contained in all these arrangements are the same as the Credit Agreement. During the thirdfirst quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017,of 2018, Arconic borrowed and repaid $150 and $660,$150, respectively, under these other credit facilities. The weighted-average interest rate and weighted-average days outstanding during the thirdfirst quarter of 2018 were 3.08% and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were 2.73% and 73 days and 2.48% and 4359 days, respectively.

Arconic’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 Arconic by the major credit rating agencies.

Arconic’s credit ratings from the three major credit rating agencies are as follows:

Cash provided from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 included proceedsfirst quarter of $888 from2017. The decrease of $1,081, was primarily due to the sale of a portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock of $888 and the receipt of proceeds from the sale of the Yadkin Hydroelectric Project of $243, somewhat offset by cash used for capital expenditures of $360 and$238 during the injection of $10 into the Fusina rolling business prior to its sale.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Environmental Matters

As previously reported, by an amended complaint filed April 21, 2005, Alcoa Global Fasteners, Inc. (now known as Arconic Global Fasteners & Rings, Inc.) was added as a defendant in Orange County Water District (OCWD) v. Northrop Corporation, et al., civil action 04cc00715 (Superior Court of California, County of Orange). OCWD alleges contamination or threatened contamination of a drinking water aquifer by Arconic, certain of the entities that preceded Arconic at the same locations as property owners and/or operators, and other current and former industrial and manufacturing businesses that operated in Orange County in past decades. OCWD seeks to recover the cost of aquifer remediation and attorney’s fees. Trial on statutory, non-jury claims commenced on February 10, 2012. On October 29, 2013, the court issued its final Statement of Decision in favor of Arconic and the other Phase I trial defendants dismissing the statutory law liability claims. On June 20, 2014, following the full briefing by the parties, the trial court entered final judgment in favor of Arconic and the other trial defendants on the remaining tort claims. On August 18, 2014, the OCWD appealed the dismissal of the statutory law claims and common law claims (except for negligence). On March 29, 2017, oral argument on the appeal took place before a panel of three California Court of Appeal justices. On June 1, 2017, the Court of Appeal upheld the trial court’s decision in favor of Arconic on all claims. The OCWD did not file a petition for review to the California Supreme Court. On July 12, 2017, Northrop filed a petition for review by the Supreme Court of the State of California. On September 13, 2017, the California Supreme Court denied Northrop’s petition for review. The remaining claims against Northrop have been remanded to the trial court. No claims against Arconic are pending in the remanded case. No further reports will be made on this matter unless there is a material development.

As previously reported, on June 21, 2017, the UK Environment Agency (the “Agency”) confirmed that it will prosecute Firth Rixson Metals Limited in Chesterfield (UK) Magistrates Court in relation to an environmental incident that took place on April 22, 2015 at the Company’s Glossop UK site. It is alleged that an acid scrubber unit at the site caused a leak into the local river resulting in environmental damage, including the death of approximately 200 fish. Arconic was not successful in persuading the Agency to drop the prosecution in lieu of an enforcement undertaking (a civil remedy) despite the fact that cyanide, a compound not used on the site, had been identified in the samples of water taken at the time. A hearing before the Court was held on September 13, 2017 at which Firth Rixson pled guilty to the underlying offense of allowing a release to occur to the nearby stream. The Agency was not ready to proceed to a full hearing on the culpability and harm elements of the allegations, and requested more time. The Court granted the Agency’s request and set a follow-up hearing for December 6, 2017. The Company expects that to be the final dispositive hearing, at or after which it expects the Court to render final decisions on culpability and harm, and impose a fine on the Company. The Company has recorded an amount to cover the estimated fine and this amount is not material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Reynobond PE

As previously reported, on June 13, 2017, the Grenfell Tower in London, UK caught fire resulting in fatalities, injuries and damage. A French subsidiary of Arconic, Arconic Architectural Products SAS (AAP SAS), 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 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 Metro Police, a Public Inquiry by the British government and a consumer protection inquiry by a French public authority. AAP SAS has filed an application seeking core participant status in the Public Inquiry.

The complaint also alleges that Arconic’s failure to disclose at the time of the offering that it was obtaining significant profits through sales that exposed it to substantial liability violated the federal securities laws. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory and recissory damages and an award of attorney and expert fees and expenses. On August 25, 2017, this case was dismissed by the plaintiff without prejudice and re-filed on September 15, 2017 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

On May 1, 2018, the Company notified Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee under the Amendment and within the lawsRestatement of the host countries in which it operates,Trust Agreement between Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (as successor trustee) and its failure to disclose that Arconic knowingly supplied highly flammable Reynobond PE cladding panels for use in construction that significantly increased the risk of property damage, injury and death, were false and misleading in violation of the federal securities laws and artificially inflated the prices of Arconic’s securities. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and an award of attorney and expert fees and expenses.

While the Company, believesdated September 24, 2007, as amended (the “Trust Agreement”), that these cases are without merit and intends to challenge them vigorously, there can be no assurances regarding(i) the ultimate resolution of these matters. Given the preliminary nature of these matters and the uncertainty of 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. TheCompany’s Board of Directors has also received letters, purportedly sent on behalf of shareholders, reciting allegations similar to those made(the “Board”) had determined that a Potential Change in Control (as defined in the federal court lawsuitsTrust Agreement) no longer existed as of April 13, 2018, and demanding(ii) on April 30, 2018, the Board approved the revocation and termination of the grantor trust created pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, effective on such date.  

In addition, on April 30, 2018, the Board approved and adopted a Legal Fee Reimbursement Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan entitles each participant in any of the nonqualified deferred compensation, supplemental pension, and other compensatory plans and agreements previously covered by the grantor trust to payment of legal fees and expenses if, following a change in control, it is determined that the Board authorizeparticipant is seeking in good faith to enforce, or has successfully enforced, his or her right to payments or benefits that have become due under such a plan.  In addition, participants are eligible for reimbursement under the Plan only after exhausting the administrative claims procedure outlined in the applicable benefit plan or, in the case of a plan that does not have a claims procedure, after the Company fails to initiate litigation against membersresolve the issue within 30 days of management, the Board and others.
