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 20162018 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, 2016,2018, 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, Arconic Inc. (the new name for Alcoa Inc.) and Alcoa Corporation, became effective on November 1, 2016 (the “Separation Transaction”presentation (see Note C). The financial results of Alcoa Corporation for all periods prior to the Separation Transaction have been retrospectively reflected in the Statement of Consolidated Operations as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for 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, Statement of Changes in Consolidated Equity and Statement of Consolidated Comprehensive Income, respectively, for the third quarter 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 outstanding and authorized shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). 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 any change in the par value per share. The Reverse Stock Split reduced 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.

B. Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Adopted

In MarchFebruary 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 these changes effective for Arconic on January 1, 2018.

Arconic will adopt the new guidance using the modified retrospective transition approach, reflecting the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard to revenue recognition in the first quarter of 2018. The Company formed a project assessment and adoption team and is currently reviewing contract terms and assessing the impact of adopting the new guidance on the Consolidated Financial Statements. While the Company generally recognizes revenue at a point in time upon delivery and transfer of title and risk of loss for most arrangements, based on the contract assessments to date, it

9


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.

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 at 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 require 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. These changes, which will be applied on a prospective basis, become effective for Arconic on January 1, 2018. Management determined that the adoption of these changes will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB(FASB) issued changes to the accounting and presentation of leases. These changes require lessees to recognize a right of useright-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet, initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Foroperating leases with a term greater than 12 months.

These changes became effective for Arconic on January 1, 2019 and have been applied using the modified retrospective approach as of 12 monthsthe date of adoption, under which leases existing at, or less, a lessee isentered into after, January 1, 2019 were required to be recognized and measured. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reflected in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to makecarry forward the historical lease classification. The Company also elected to separate lease components from non-lease components for all classes of assets.
The adoption of this new standard resulted in the Company recording operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $320 on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2019. Also, the Company reclassified cash proceeds of $119 from Other noncurrent liabilities and deferred credits, assets of $24 from Properties, plants, and equipment, net, and deferred tax assets of $22 from Other noncurrent assets to Accumulated deficit reflecting the cumulative effect of an accounting policy election by classchange related to the sale-leaseback of underlying asset notthe Texarkana, Texas cast house (see Note Q). The adoption of the standard had no impact on the Statement of Consolidated Operations or Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows.
In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance that made more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amended the presentation and disclosure requirements and changed how companies assess effectiveness. It is intended to recognize a rightmore closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of use assethedge accounting, and lease liability.

These changes becomebecame effective for Arconic on January 1, 2019. Management is currently evaluatingFor cash flow hedges, Arconic recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $2 related to eliminating the potential impactseparate measurement of these changesineffectiveness by decreasing Accumulated other comprehensive loss and increasing Accumulated deficit on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The amendments to presentation and disclosure are required prospectively. Arconic has determined that under the new accounting guidance it is able to more broadly use cash flow hedge accounting for its variable priced inventory purchases and customer sales.
In March 2019, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued guidance to modernize and simplify certain disclosure requirements in a manner that reduces the costs and burdens on preparers while continuing to provide all material information to investors. This guidance became effective on May 2, 2019 and has been applied to filings thereafter. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Notes to 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.

Statements.

Issued
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 2016,2018, the FASB issued changes to the classification of certain cash receiptsguidance that impacts disclosures for defined benefit pension plans 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.other postretirement benefit plans. These changes become effective for Arconic on January 1, 2018.Arconic's annual report for the year ending December 31, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Management does not expect these changes to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued changes to the classification of cash and cash equivalents within the cash flow statement. 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 statement of cash flows and material balances of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents must disclose information regarding the nature of the restrictions. These changes become effective for Arconic on January 1, 2018. Managementhas determined that the adoption of these changesthis guidance will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

C. 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 March 2017, the FASB issuedfirst quarter of 2019, management transferred its aluminum extrusions operations (Aluminum Extrusions) from the Arconic Engineered Structures (AES) business unit within the Engineered Products and Solutions (EP&S) segment to the Global Rolled Products (GRP) segment, based on synergies with GRP including similar customer base, technologies, and manufacturing capabilities. Prior period financial information has been recast to conform to current year presentation.
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. Segment operating profit includes 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. Differences between segment totals and consolidated Arconic are in Corporate.
As a result of the reorganization of Aluminum Extrusions noted above, management assessed and concluded that the remaining AES business unit and the Aluminum Extrusions business unit represent reporting units for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. Goodwill of $110 was reallocated from the AES reporting unit to the Aluminum Extrusions reporting unit and these reporting units were evaluated for impairment during the first quarter of 2019. The estimated fair value of each of these reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying value; thus, there was no goodwill impairment. In the second quarter of 2019, management transferred its castings operations from the AES business unit to the Arconic Engines (AEN) business unit within the EP&S segment based on process expertise for investment castings that existed within AEN. As a result, goodwill of $105 was reallocated from the AES reporting unit to the AEN reporting unit and these reporting units were evaluated for impairment during the second quarter of 2019. The estimated fair value of each of these reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying value; thus, there was no impairment. Also in the second quarter of 2019, as a result of the decline in the forecasted financial performance and related impairment of long-lived assets of the Disks asset group within the AEN business unit (see Note M), an additional evaluation of the AEN reporting unit goodwill was performed. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit was substantially in excess of its carrying value; thus, there was no impairment of goodwill.
The Company will continue to evaluate its organizational structure and portfolio in conjunction with its planned separation (see Note S), which may result in further changes to shortenits reportable segments and the amortization periodneed to evaluate assets for impairment in future periods.

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 fromwere as follows:

In the service cost component;first quarter of 2019, the Company communicated to plan participants that, effective May 1, 2019, it will eliminate the life insurance benefit for its U.S. salaried and non-bargained hourly retirees of the Company and its subsidiaries. As a result of this change, in the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a decrease to the Accrued other postretirement benefits liability of $63 which was offset by a curtailment benefit of $58 in Restructuring and other charges and $5 in Accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Additionally, in the first quarter of 2019, the Company communicated to plan participants that, effective December 31, 2019, it will eliminate certain health care subsidies for its U.S. salaried and non-bargained hourly retirees of the Company and its subsidiaries. As a result of this change, in the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a decrease to the Accrued other postretirement benefits liability of $12 which was offset in Accumulated other comprehensive loss.
In the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company applied settlement accounting to a U.S. pension plan due to lump sum payments to participants which resulted in settlement charges of $4 that were recorded in Restructuring and other charges.


In June of 2019, the Company and the line item or items usedUnited Steelworkers (USW) reached a tentative three-year labor agreement covering approximately 3,400 employees at four U.S. locations; the previous labor agreement expired on May 15, 2019. The tentative agreement was ratified on July 11, 2019. In the second quarter of 2019, Arconic recognized $9 in the income statement to present the other components of net periodic benefit cost must be disclosed. These changes become effective for Arconic on January 1, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new standard must be adopted retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement, and prospectively for the asset capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost. The Company currently records non-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 uponon the adoption of this standard will be recorded separately from service cost in the Other income, net line item in theaccompanying Statement of Consolidated Operations.Operations primarily for a one-time signing bonus for employees.
On July 25, 2019, the USW ratified a new four-year labor agreement covering approximately 560 employees at the Company’s Niles, Ohio facility. The impactprior labor agreement expired on June 30, 2018.
On April 1, 2018, benefit accruals for future service and compensation under all of the retrospective adoptionCompany's qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans for U.S. salaried and non-bargaining hourly employees ceased. As a result of this standard update will be anchange, 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.
On April 13, 2018, the United Auto Workers ratified a new five-year labor agreement, covering approximately 1,300 U.S. employees of Arconic, which expires on March 31, 2023. A provision within the agreement includes a retirement benefit increase to consolidated operating incomefor future retirees that participate in a defined benefit pension plan, which impacts approximately 300 of approximately $150 while there will be no impact to consolidated net income for the year ended December 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.

those employees. 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 becomeaddition, effective for Arconic on January 1, 2018 and are to be applied prospectively to new awards granted after adoption. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact2019, benefit accruals for future service ceased. As result of these changes, a curtailment charge of $9 was recorded in Restructuring and other charges in the second quarter of 2018.

During the third quarter of 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 stipulated that Arconic make cash contributions of $150 over a period of 30 months (from November 1, 2016) to its two largest pension plans. The Company satisfied the requirements of the plan by making payments of $34, $66, and $50 in April 2019, March 2018, and April 2017, respectively.
G. 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 judgment 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the estimated annual effective tax rate, before discrete items, applied to ordinary income was 35.3% and 27.0%, respectively. The rate in each period was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to estimated U.S. tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company updated its five-year strategic plan and Discontinued Operations

On November 1, 2016, Arconic completeddetermined that there was a decline in the Separation Transaction. Alcoa Inc., which was re-named Arconic Inc., continued to ownforecasted financial performance for the Disks asset group within the Engineered Products and Solutions segment. As such, the Global RolledCompany evaluated the recoverability of the Disks long-lived assets by comparing the carrying value to the undiscounted cash flows of the Disks asset group. The carrying value exceeded the undiscounted cash flows and therefore the Disks long-lived assets were deemed to be impaired. The impairment charge was measured as the amount of carrying value in excess of fair value of the long-lived assets, with fair value determined using a discounted cash flow model and a combination of sales comparison and cost approach valuation methods including an estimate for economic obsolescence. The impairment charge of $428 recorded in the second quarter of 2019 impacted properties, plant and equipment; intangible assets; and certain other



noncurrent assets by $198, $197 and $33, respectively. The impairment charge was recorded in Restructuring and other charges in the Statement of Consolidated Operations.
N. Leases
The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease at inception. The Company leases land and buildings, plant equipment, vehicles, and computer equipment which have been classified as operating leases. Certain real estate leases include one or more options to renew; the exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s discretion. The Company includes renewal option periods in the lease term when it is determined that the options are reasonably certain to be exercised. Certain of Arconic's real estate lease agreements include rental payments that either have fixed contractual increases over time or adjust periodically for inflation. Certain of the Company's lease agreements include variable lease payments. The variable portion of payments is not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability due to the uncertainty of the payment amount and is recorded as lease cost in the period incurred. The Company also rents or subleases certain real estate to third parties, which is not material to the consolidated financial statements.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities with an initial term greater than 12 months are recorded on the balance sheet at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the lease commencement date and are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company uses an incremental collateralized borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments, as most of its leases do not provide an implicit rate. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include any lease prepayments made and were reduced by lease incentives and accrued exit costs as of the adoption date.
Operating lease cost, which includes short-term leases and variable lease payments and approximates cash paid, was $37 and $36 in the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $74 in both the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet were as follows:

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 six months ended June 30, 2019, Arconic borrowed and repaid $225 and $225, respectively, under these other credit facilities. The weighted-average interest rate and weighted-average days outstanding during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 were 3.9% and 84 days and 3.9% and 37 days, respectively.
P. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash, Derivatives, Noncurrent receivables, and Short-term debt included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximate their fair value. The Company holds exchange-traded fixed income securities which are considered available-for-sale securities that are carried at fair value which is based on quoted market prices which are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of Long-term debt, less amount due within one year was based on quoted market prices for public debt 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.

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$275 at SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and $308$266 at December 31, 20162018 (of which $39$95 and $48,$81, respectively, waswere 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$13 and $17$16 in the thirdsecond quarter and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, respectively. This amount2019, respectively, which includes expenditures currently mandated, as well as those not required by any regulatory authority or third party.

Included in annual operating expenses are the recurring costs of managing hazardous substances and environmental programs. These costs are estimated to be approximately 1% or less of costCost 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, the reserve balance associated with this matter was $221$210 and $228,$198, respectively. In the first quarter of 2019, Arconic received approval from the EPA of its final remedial design which is in the planningnow under construction and design phase, which is expected to be completed in 2018. In2022. During the thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2019, Arconic increased the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) sent a letterreserve balance by $25 due to USEPA requesting a revision tochanges required in the draft design. The USEPA has not responded to the NYSDEC letter but the request has put on hold Arconic’s preparation of a finalremedial design and extended the expected submittal into 2018. Following submittal and USEPA approval of the final design, the actual remediation fieldwork is expected to commence and take approximately four years.

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 for 49% of the ultimate liability, with respect to the following matter.

As previously reported, in September 2010,July 2013, following a Spanish corporate income tax audit covering the 20032006 through 20052009 tax years, an assessment was received as a result of Spain’s tax authoritiesmainly disallowing certain interest deductions claimed by a Spanish consolidated tax group owned by the Company. An appeal of this assessment in Spain’s Central Tax Administrative Court by the Company was denied in October 2013. 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 received2015 which was denied in July 2013.2018. The National Court’s decision requires the assessment for the 2006 through 2009 tax years is $152to be reissued to take into account the outcome of the 2003 to 2005 audit which was closed in 2017. The Company estimates the revised assessment to be $173 (€129)152), including interest.

Finally,

In March 2019, the Supreme Court of Spain accepted the Company's petition to review the National Court’s decision. The Company is in the process of filing a formal appeal of the assessment with the Supreme Court of Spain, who will review the assessment on its merits and render a final decision. In the event the Company receives an unfavorable ruling from the Supreme Court of Spain, a portion of the assessment may be offset with existing net operating losses and tax credits available to the Spanish consolidated tax group, had been under audit (beginningwhich would be shared between the Company and Alcoa Corporation as provided for in September 2015) for the Tax Matters Agreement.
Arconic has an income tax reserve, including interest, of $60 (€52) and an indemnification receivable of $29 (€25), representing Alcoa Corporation’s 49% share of the liability. The reserve and indemnification receivable were established in the third quarter of 2018.
Additionally, while the tax years 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’sfor tax authorities for years subsequent to 2013. The Company believes it has meritorious argumentsAny potential assessment for an individual tax year is not expected to support its tax position for all years and intends to vigorously litigate assessments through Spain’s court system. However, in the event the Company is unsuccessful, a portion of the assessments may be offset with existing net operating losses availablematerial to the SpanishCompany’s consolidated tax group, which would be shared between Arconic and Alcoa Corporation as provided for in the Tax Matters Agreement related to the Separation Transaction. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably predict an outcome for this matter.

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 seekingsought and received core participant status in the Public Inquiry.

On June 6, 2019, 247 plaintiffs comprised of survivors and September 2017, two purported class action complaints were filed against Arconic and certain officers, directors and/or other parties, alleging that, in lightestates of decedents of the Grenfell Tower fire filed a complaint against “Arconic Inc., Alcoa Inc. and Arconic Architectural Products, LLC,” (collectively “Arconic”), as well as Saint-Gobain Corporation, d/b/a Celotex and Whirlpool Corporation, in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County. The complaint alleges claims under Pennsylvania state law for products liability and wrongful death related to the fire. In particular, the plaintiffs allege that Arconic knowingly supplied a dangerous product (Reynobond PE) for installation on the Grenfell Tower despite knowing that Reynobond PE was unfit for use above a certain Company filings withheight. Arconic removed the Securitiescase to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on June 19, 2019. The Court’s current scheduling order provides defendants until August 29, 2019 to file motions to dismiss the complaint.
Howard v. Arconic Inc. et al. As previously reported, a purported class action complaint related to the Grenfell Tower fire was filed on August 11, 2017 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against Arconic Inc. and Exchange CommissionKlaus 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 putative class members, the court consolidated Howard and Sullivan, 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 alleged 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 alleged 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, its 2016 Annual Highlights Report, and on its official website. The consolidated amended complaint sought, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and an award of attorney and expert fees and expenses. On June 8, 2018, all defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint for failure to state a claim. On June 21, 2019, the Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss in full, dismissing the consolidated amended complaint in its entirety without prejudice. On July 23, 2019, the lead plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. The second amended complaint alleges generally the same claims as the consolidated amended complaint with certain additional allegations, as well as claims that the risk factors set forth in the registration statement for the Preferred Offering were inadequate and that certain additional statements in the sources identified above were misleading. The second amended complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and an award of attorney and expert fees and expenses.

Raul v. Albaugh, et al. As previously reported, on June 22, 2018, a derivative complaint was filed nominally on behalf of Arconic by a purported Arconic shareholder against all current members of Arconic’s Board of Directors, Klaus Kleinfeld and Ken Giacobbe, naming Arconic as a nominal defendant, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint raises similar allegations as the consolidated amended complaint in Howard, as well as allegations that the defendants improperly authorized the sale of Reynobond PE for unsafe uses, and asserts claims under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Delaware state law. On July 13, 2018, the parties filed a stipulation agreeing to stay this case until the final resolution of the Howard case, the Grenfell Tower public inquiry in London, and the investigation by the London Metropolitan Police Service and on June 23, 2018, the Court approved the stay.
While the Company believes that these cases are without merit and intends to challenge them vigorously, there can be no assurances regarding 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. The Board of Directors has also received letters, purportedly sent on behalf of shareholders, reciting allegations similar to those made in the federal court lawsuits and demanding that the Board authorize the Company to initiate litigation against members of management, the Board and others. The Board of Directors is reviewing these shareholder demand lettersappointed a Special Litigation Committee of the Board to review, investigate, and consideringmake recommendations to the Board regarding the appropriate course of action. In addition, lawsuits are pendingaction with respect to these shareholder demand letters. On May 22, 2019, the Special Litigation Committee, following completion of its investigation into the claims demanded 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 relateddemand letters, recommended to the Grenfell Tower fireBoard that it reject the demands to authorize commencement of litigation. On May 28, 2019, the Board adopted the Special Litigation Committee’s findings and Reynobond PE.

recommendations and rejected the demands that it authorize commencement of actions to assert the claims set forth in the demand letters.



Other

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

S. Proposed Separation Transaction
On February 8, 2019, Arconic announced, as part of its strategy and portfolio review, a separation of its portfolio into two independent, publicly-traded companies. One company will be named Howmet Aerospace Inc. and comprises the Engineered Products and Forgings businesses and the other company will be named Arconic Corporation and comprises the Global Rolled Products businesses. The Company will also consider the sale of businesses that do not best fit into Engineered Products and Forgings and Global Rolled Products. The businesses of the current Transportation and Construction Solutions segment will be divided, with BCS to become part of Arconic Corporation and the Arconic Wheel and Transportation Products business to become part of Howmet Aerospace. The Company is a producer of multi-material products including sheet, plate, precision castings, forgings, rolled rings, extrusions, wheels and fasteners. Arconic’s products are used worldwidetargeting to complete the separation 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. In the firstsecond quarter of 2017, the Company changed its primary measure of segment performance from After-tax operating income (ATOI)2020. The separation transaction is subject 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,conditions, including, but not limited to, final approval by Arconic’s Board of Directors, receipt of a favorable opinion of legal counsel with respect to the primary measuretax-free nature of performancethe transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, completion of financing, and the effectiveness of a Form 10 registration statement to be filed with the


U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Arconic may, at any time and for any reason until the proposed transaction is Adjusted EBITDA. Arconic’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA is net margin plus an add-back for depreciationcomplete, abandon the separation plan or modify or change its terms.In the second quarter and amortizationsix months ended June 30, 2019, Arconic recognized $16 and special items. Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold;$19, respectively, in Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation and amortization. The Adjusted EBITDA presented may not 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; 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.

J. 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.

The number of shares and per share amounts for all periods presented below have been updated to reflect the Reverse Stock Split (see Note A).

The information used to compute basic and diluted EPS attributable to Arconic common shareholders was as follows (shares in millions):

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 costs related to the nine months ended September 30, 2017proposed separation transaction.

T. Subsequent Events
Management evaluated all activity of Arconic and 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:

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:

   September 30, 2017   December 31, 2016 
   Carrying

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 flows and was classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Long-term debt due within one year and 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 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 shares of Arconic common stock. No gain or loss was recognized associated with this equity transaction.

Plant providing for an electricity contract with Luminant Generation Company LLC, effectiveextension of Mr. Plant’s term of employment as Chief Executive Officer through the earlier of October 1, 2017,August 6, 2020 and the date on which the expected separation occurs; the agreement provides that was tiedif the separation occurs prior to its Rockdale Operations in Texas. PursuantAugust 6, 2020, Mr. Plant will serve as an Advisor to the SeparationCompany and Distribution Agreement between Arconicits Board of Directors through August 6, 2020. Additionally, on August 2, 2019, the Company announced that Elmer Doty, President and Alcoa Corporation, Arconic was requiredChief Operating Officer, will separate from employment with the Company, effective August 16, 2019.  Mr. Doty will continue to provideserve as 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.

The increase in both periods was the result of strong volume growth across all segments, primarily in our Engineered Productsthe aerospace, commercial transportation, packaging, building and Solutionsconstruction, industrial and Transportationautomotive end markets; favorable product pricing and Construction Solutions segments and higher aluminum pricing, 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 Tennesseemix in the Global Rolled Products segment, as well as unfavorable(GRP) segment; favorable aerospace product pricing in both the Engineered Products and Solutions (EP&S) segment when fulfilling volume above contractual share, renewing contracts, and Global Rolled Products segments. Pursuantselling non-contractual spot business; and costs incurred in the second quarter of 2018 of $38 related to settlements of certain customer claims primarily related to product introductions that did not recur in 2019; partially offset by lower sales of $55 and $133 in the second quarter and six months ended June, 30, 2019, respectively, related to the Toll Processing Agreement that Arconic entered into with Alcoa Corporation on October 31, 2016completed ramp down of Arconic's North American packaging operations (in December 2018) and the divestitures of the extrusions business in connection withLatin America (divested in April 2018) and the Separation Transaction.

The decrease in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to lower aluminum prices; favorable product pricing; net cost savings; costs of $38 incurred in 2018 related to settlements of certain customer claims noted above; and a charge of $23 related to a physical inventory adjustment at one plant in the GRP segment (this plant was previously included in the EP&S segment prior to the transfer of the aluminum extrusions operations from EP&S to GRP in the first quarter of 2019) incurred in 2018 that did not recur in 2019; partially offset by unfavorable product mix; a charge for environmental remediation at Grasse River of $25; the impairment of energy business assets of $9; and a charge of $9 primarily for a one-time signing bonus for employees associated with the collective bargaining agreement negotiation. In June of 2019 the Company and the United Steelworkers reached a tentative three-year labor agreement covering approximately 3,400 employees at four U.S. locations; the previous labor agreement expired on May 15, 2019. The tentative agreement was ratified on July 11, 2019.

The Company anticipates a charge of approximately $5 to $10 in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, comparedof 2019, with additional impacts in subsequent quarters as the business continues to 79.8% and 78.9% inrecover from the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.fire.

The total number of employees associated with both the 2016 and 2015 restructuring programs2018 that did not recur in 2019.

Other expense, net. Other expense, net 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$29 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 all2019 compared to $41 in the second quarter of the Company’s 6.50% Bonds due 2018 and 6.75% Notes due 2018, and a portion of$61 in both the Company’s 5.72% Notes due 2019 (see Note L) in advance of the expiration date.

The decrease of $12, or 29%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2016second quarter of 2019 was primarily due to $76 of premiums paid for the early redemption noted above,favorable foreign currency movements partially offset by lower interest expense duean increase in deferred compensation arrangements related to lower outstanding debt.

Otherinvestment performance. The six months ended June 30, 2019 was consistent with the prior period but was also impacted by favorable foreign currency movements offset by an increase in deferred compensation arrangements related to investment performance.

(Benefit) provision for income net. Other income, net decreased $10taxes. The tax rate including discrete items was 37.9% in the thirdsecond quarter of 20172019 compared to 38.1% in the thirdsecond quarter of 2016, primarily due to the favorable post-closing adjustment related to the November 2014 acquisition2018. A discrete tax benefit of Firth Rixson that$36 was recorded in the thirdsecond quarter of 2016.

Other income, net increased $4862019 compared to a discrete tax charge of $21 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to the gain on the salesecond quarter of a portion of Arconic’s investment in Alcoa Corporation common stock of $351 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 stock 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’s2018. The estimated annual effective tax rate before discrete items applied to ordinary income, 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). These beneficial items were partially offset by a loss on the sale of a rolling mill in Fusina, Italy 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 recorded35.3% in the second quarter ended September 30, 2017 and primarily relateof 2019 compared to 27.0% in the second quarter of 2018. See Note G to the tax effects of expired stock compensation partially offset by other insignificant adjustments. Discrete items of $7 were recordedConsolidated Financial Statements.

Net (loss) income. Net loss was $121 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.

In the first quarter of 2017,2019, the Company changedtransferred its primary measure ofaluminum extrusions operations (Aluminum Extrusions) from the Arconic Engineered Structures (AES) business unit within the Engineered Products and Solutions (EP&S) segment performance from After-tax operating income (ATOI) to Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation,the Global Rolled Products (GRP) segment, based on synergies with GRP including similar customer base, technologies, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”).manufacturing capabilities. Prior period financial information has been recast to conform to current year presentation. 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. Segment operating profit includes the impact of LIFO inventory accounting, metal price lag, intersegment profit eliminations, and development expenses; 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.

Differences between segment totals and consolidated Arconic are in Corporate.

Arconic produces aerospace engine parts and components, aerospace fastening systems, and aluminum sheet and plate products for Boeing 737 MAX airplanes. The temporary reduction in the production rate of the 737 MAX airplanes that was announced by Boeing in April 2019 did not have a significant impact on the Company's revenues or segment operating profit in the second quarter. A significant reduction in the production rate could have a negative impact on revenues and segment operating profit in the second half of 2019 in the EP&S and GRP segments.

Third-party sales decreased 1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily related to the impact of $365 associated with the ramp-down and Toll Processing Agreement with Alcoa Corporation at the Company’s North America packaging business in Tennessee, the absence of sales of $74 from the rolling mill in Fusina, Italy, and unfavorable product pricing, largely offset by volume growth in the automotive end market and higher aluminum pricing.

Adjusted EBITDAforeign currency movements.

Segment operating profit for the Global Rolled Products segment decreased $3increased $34, or 31%, in the thirdsecond quarter of 20172019 compared to the thirdsecond quarter of 2016. The decrease2018 and $17, or 7%, in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, due to favorable pricing adjustments on industrial and commercial transportation products, higher volumes as noted previously, favorable aluminum price impacts, and a charge related to a physical inventory adjustment at one plant incurred in 2018 that did not recur in 2019, partially offset by operational headwinds in the Aluminum Extrusions business and the Tennessee plant transition to industrial production.
In the second half of 2019 compared to the second half of 2018, demand in the North America commercial transportation and industrial end markets is theexpected to grow as a result of the planned ramp-down of the Company’s North America packaging business in Tennessee, lower aerospace volume from customer inventory destocking and reduced build rates as well as continued pricing pressure on regional specialty products, and higher aluminum prices of $7, partially offset by net cost savings. The higher aluminum prices negatively impacted the Global Rolled Products Adjusted EBITDA margin by 170 basis points in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $14 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is the result of net cost savings and increased automotive volumes, partially offset by lower aerospace volume from customer destocking and reduced build rates as well as continued pricing pressure on regional specialty products.

In the fourth quarter of 2017, demand in the automotive end market is expected to continue to grow relative to the fourth quarter of 2016 due to the increasing demand for innovative products and aluminum-intensive vehicles. While new programs continue to ramp-up, demandInternational Trade Commission initiated common alloy trade case. Demand from the commercial airframe end market is expected to decline due to customer destocking andbe up as the ramp-up of new programs is partially offset by lower build rates for aluminum intensive wide-body programs. SalesDemand in the automotive end market is expected to be flat and strong demand from the packaging end market areis expected to decline duecontinue. Favorable pricing and net productivity improvements are also anticipated to continuing pricing pressure within this market and the impact of the ramp-down relating to the Company’s North America packaging business in Tennessee.

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.

Brave v. Arconic Inc., Kenneth J. Giacobbe and Klaus Kleinfeld. A purported class action complaint was filed on July 13, 2017 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Arconic Inc., Kenneth J. Giacobbe and Klaus Kleinfeld. The complaint alleged that the statements in Arconic’s 2016 10-K about management’s recognition of its responsibility to conduct the Company’s affairs according to the highest standards of personal and corporate conduct and within the laws of the host countries in which it operates, 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 sought, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and an award of attorney and expert fees and expenses. On August 14, 2017, this case was dismissed by the plaintiff without prejudice.

Tripson v. Arconic Inc. and Klaus Kleinfeld. A purported class action complaint was filed on July 14, 2017 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Arconic Inc. and Klaus Kleinfeld. The complaint alleged that statements in Arconic’s 2012-2016 10-Ks, 2012-15 Annual Reports and the 2016 Annual Highlights Report about management’s recognition of its responsibility to conduct the Company’s affairs according to the highest standards of personal and corporate conduct and within the laws of the host countries in which it operates, 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 complaint also alleged that Arconic was motivated to conceal its potential liability to improve its credit ratings and enhance its ability to raise capital. The plaintiffs sought, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and equitable relief and an award of attorney and expert fees and expenses. On August 25, 2017, this case was dismissed by the plaintiff without prejudice.

Sullivan v. Arconic Inc. et al. A purported class action complaint was filed on July 18, 2017 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Arconic Inc., as well as two former Arconic executives and several current and former Arconic directors, and banks that acted as underwriters for Arconic’s September 18, 2014 preferred stock offering. The complaint alleges that statements in the registration statement for Arconic’s September 18, 2014 preferred stock offering were false and misleading in light of the subsequent Grenfell Tower fire. 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.

Howard v. Arconic Inc. et al. A purported class action complaint was filed on August 11, 2017 in the United States District Court for Western District of Pennsylvania against Arconic Inc., and Klaus Kleinfeld. The complaint alleges that Arconic and Mr. Kleinfeld made various false and misleading statements, and omitted to disclose material information, about the company’s business and financial prospects and, specifically, the risks of

See the Reynobond PE product. The complaint alleges that the statements in Arconic’s Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, its 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 Annual Reports, and its 2016 Annual Highlights Report about management’s recognitionMassena, NY sections of its responsibility to conduct the Company’s affairs accordingNote R to the highest standardsConsolidated Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of personalthis Form 10-Q.


Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and corporate conduct and within the lawsUse of the host countries in which it operates, and its failureProceeds.
The following table presents information with respect 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 believes that these cases are without merit and intends to challenge them vigorously, there can be no assurances regarding 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. The Board of Directors has also received letters, purportedly sent on behalf of shareholders, reciting allegations similar to thosecommon stock purchases made in the federal court lawsuits and demanding that the Board authorize the Company to initiate litigation against members of management, the Board and others. The Board of Directors is reviewing these shareholder demand letters and considering 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 concerningduring 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.
