Arconic


Howmet Aerospace Inc. and subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(U.S. dollars in millions, except per-share amounts)

A. Basis of Presentation

The interim Consolidated Financial Statements of ArconicHowmet Aerospace Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Arconic”Howmet” or the “Company” or “we” or “our”) 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 20162021 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’sthe Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2021, 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”). 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

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company derived approximately 47% of its revenue from products sold to the commercial aerospace market which is substantially less than the pre-pandemic 2019 annual rate of approximately 60%. Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and nine months ended September 30, 2016. its impact on the commercial aerospace industry to date, there has been a decrease in domestic and international air travel, which in turn has adversely affected demand for narrow-body and wide-body aircraft. Although domestic air travel is increasing, it is still below pre-pandemic 2019 levels on an average monthly basis. Year-to-date international travel also continues to be lower than pre-pandemic 2019 levels. Narrow-body demand is returning faster than wide-body demand and the commercial wide-body aircraft market is taking longer to recover, which is creating a shift in our product mix compared to pre-pandemic conditions. In addition to the impact from the pandemic, the timing and level of future aircraft builds by original equipment manufacturers are subject to changes and uncertainties, such as declines in Boeing 787 production rates due to delays in its recertification, which may cause our future results to differ from prior periods due to changes in product mix in certain segments.
The cash flows, equitypreparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain judgments, estimates, and comprehensive income relatedassumptions. These estimates are based on historical experience and, in some cases, assumptions based on current and future market experience, including considerations relating to Alcoa Corporation have not been segregatedthe impact of COVID-19 and are includedchanges 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”). Asaerospace industry as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every three sharespandemic. The impact of issuedthese changes is rapidly changing and outstanding common stock were combined into one issuedof unknown duration and outstanding sharemacroeconomic impact and, as a result, these considerations remain highly uncertain. Management has made its best estimates using all relevant information available at the time, but it is possible that our estimates will differ from our actual results and affect the Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods and potentially require adverse adjustments to the recoverability of common stock, without any changegoodwill, intangible and long-lived assets, the realizability of deferred tax assets and other judgments and estimations and assumptions that may be impacted by COVID-19 and changes 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 March 2016,

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued changesthat were intended to employee share-based payment accounting. Previously, an entity determinedsimplify various aspects of accounting for each share-based payment award whether the difference between the deduction for tax purposesincome taxes by eliminating certain exceptions contained in existing guidance 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 offsetamending other guidance 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 fromsimplify several other income tax cash flows and classified as a financing activity.accounting matters. 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 new guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Issued
In March 2016,2020, the FASB issued changes eliminating the requirementamendments that provide optional expedients and exceptions for an investorapplying GAAP to adjust an equity method investment, results of operations,contracts, hedging relationships, and retained earnings retroactivelyother transactions affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The FASB is currently working 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 atproject to extend 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.December 31, 2024. Management does not anticipatebelieve that the adoptionimpact of these changes will have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017,September 2022, the FASB issued changes which narrowguidance to enhance the definitiontransparency 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

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 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.regarding supplier finance programs. These changes become effective for Arconicfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on January 1, 2019.rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Consolidated Financial Statements,Statements.

Prior to the first quarter of 2022, the Company used Segment operating profit as its primary measure of performance. However, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer believes that Segment Adjusted EBITDA is now a better representation of its business because it provides additional information with respect to the Company’s operating performance and the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations. Howmet’s definition of Segment Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) 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, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation and amortization. Special items, including Restructuring and other charges, are excluded from Net margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Differences between the total segment and consolidated balance sheettotals are in Corporate.
Howmet’s operations consist of four worldwide reportable segments as follows:
Engine Products
Engine Products produces investment castings, including airfoils, and seamless rolled rings primarily for aircraft engines and industrial gas turbines. Engine Products produces rotating parts as well as structural parts.
Fastening Systems

In June 2016, the FASB added a new impairment model (known asthird quarter of 2022, 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,Company recorded Restructuring and other loan commitments. charges of $4, which were primarily due to charges

for U.S. and Canadian pension plan settlements of $3 and exit related costs, including accelerated depreciation, of $1.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded Restructuring and other charges of $12, which were primarily due to charges for U.S. pension plan settlements of $7 and exit related costs, including accelerated depreciation, of $6, partially offset by a reversal of $1 for a layoff reserve related to a prior period.
In the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded Restructuring and other charges of $8 and $22, respectively, which were primarily due to charges for pension plan settlements and exit related costs.

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 become effective for Arconic on January 1, 2018. 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 naturemajority of the restrictions. These changes 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 March 2017, the FASB issued changes to shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premiumlayoff cost and other exit cost reserves is expected to be amortized topaid in cash during the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continuesremainder of 2022 and 2023, with small amounts to be amortized to maturity. These changes become effective for Arconic on January 1, 2019paid in 2024.

E. Pension and early adoption is permitted. Management determined that the adoption of these changes will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued changes to the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. Other Postretirement Benefits

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(benefit) were as follows:

(1)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 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 costwas included within Cost of goods sold, Selling, general administrative, and other expenses, and Research and development expensesexpenses; settlements were included in Restructuring and upon the adoption of this standard will beother charges; and all other cost components were recorded separately from service cost in the Other income,expense, net line item in the Statement of Consolidated Operations.
Pension benefits
The impactCompany applied settlement accounting to certain small U.S. and Canadian pension plans due to lump sum payments made to participants, which resulted in settlement charges of the retrospective adoption of this standard update will be an increase to consolidated operating income 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.

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$3 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 become 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 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$7 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 changes on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Q. Contingencies and Commitments

Contingencies

The following information supplements and, as applicable, updates the discussion of the contingencies and commitments in Note V to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”), and should be read in conjunction with the complete descriptions provided in the Form 10-K.
Environmental Matters

ArconicMatters. Howmet participates in environmental assessments and cleanups at more than 10030 locations. These include owned or operating facilities and adjoining properties, previously owned or operatingoperated facilities and adjoining properties, and waste sites, including Superfund (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA)(“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

The Company’s remediation reserve balance was $292$15 at both September 30, 20172022 and $308 at December 31, 20162021, and was recorded in Other noncurrent liabilities and deferred credits in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (of which $39$7 and $48,$6, 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 $17less than $1 in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. This amount includes2022 and included 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 approximatelyless than 1% or less of costCost of goods sold.

Indemnified Matters. The following discussion provides details regarding the current status of the most significant reserve 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 sedimentsSeparation 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) 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, 2017 and DecemberDistribution Agreement, dated October 31, 2016, that the reserve balance associated with this matter was $221 and $228, respectively. Arconic is in the planning and design phase, which is expected to be completed in 2018. In the third quarter 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 USEPA 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 AgreementCompany entered into between Arconic andwith Alcoa Corporation in connection with the Separation Transaction, Arconic shares responsibility withits separation from Alcoa Corporation, provides for cross-indemnities between the Company and Alcoa Corporation has agreedfor claims subject to partially indemnify Arconic, with respect to the following matter.

As previously reported, in September 2010, following a corporate income tax audit covering the 2003 through 2005 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 this assessment in Spain’s Central Tax Administrative Court by the Company was denied in October 2013. In December 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.indemnification. The Spanish Tax Administration did not file an appeal within the applicable period. Based on this decisionSeparation 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 inDistribution Agreement, dated 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 possible31, 2020, that the Company may receive similar assessmentsentered into with Arconic Corporation in connection with its separation from Spain’s tax authoritiesArconic Corporation, provides for years subsequentcross-indemnities between the Company and Arconic Corporation for claims subject to 2013. Theindemnification. Among other claims that are covered by these indemnities, Arconic Corporation indemnifies the Company believes it has meritorious arguments to support its tax position(f/k/a Arconic Inc. and f/k/a Alcoa Inc.) for all years and intends to vigorously litigate assessments through Spain’s court system. However, inpotential liabilities associated with the event the Company is unsuccessful, a portion of the assessments may be offset with existing net operating losses available to the Spanish 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.

In 2007 and 2008, the Firth Rixson Entities, then owned by Oak Hill, entered into the ISDAs in order to meet their obligation to hedge interest rate exposure under a lending agreement with LBIE. When LBIE went into bankruptcy in 2008, the Firth Rixson Entities entered into alternative swap agreements with another counterparty in order to meet this hedging obligation. The Firth Rixson Entities were acquired by the Company as part of its portionacquisition of the cladding system toFirth Rixson business from Oak Hill in 2014. In the façade installer, who then completed and installedLBIE legal proceeding, LBIE claims the systemamounts owing by the Firth Rixson Entities under the direction ofISDAs to be approximately $64, plus applicable interest.

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.

In August and September 2017, two purported class action complaints were filed against Arconic and certain officers, directors and/or other parties, allegingCourt determined that in light of the Grenfell Tower fire, certain Company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission contained false and misleading disclosures and omissions in violation of the federal securities laws.

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.default under the ISDAs caused by LBIE as a result of its insolvency in 2008 and other defaults will conclude upon LBIE’s expected emergence from administration under the Insolvency Act of 1986. The BoardCourt ruled that upon such future event and other relevant steps being completed, the timing of Directors has also received letters, purportedly sent on behalf of shareholders, reciting allegations similarwhich is unknown, the Firth Rixson Entities will be obligated to those madepay amounts due under the ISDAs. The Company recorded $65 in Other current liabilities in the federal court lawsuitsConsolidated Balance Sheet, and demandingtook a pre-tax charge of this amount in Other expense, net in the Statement of Consolidated Operations in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The matter of interest was not specifically addressed in the proceeding and no related amounts have been reserved. The Company vigorously disagrees with the ruling including as to any payment obligation in respect of the principal as well as any interest. The Company intends to apply to appeal the Judgment to the Court of Appeal and will request that payment of all amounts be stayed until the Board authorizeappeal is concluded. This application is expected to be addressed at a hearing before 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 andCourt by the Company, concerning the shareholder’s claimed right, which the Company contests, to inspect the Company’s booksend of this year, and records related to the Grenfell Tower fire and Reynobond PE.

Other

any appeal proceedings would continue into 2023.

Other.In addition to the matters discussed above, various other lawsuits, claims, and proceedings have been or may be instituted or asserted against Arconic,theCompany, 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
(U.S. dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data) of this Form 10-Q.
Overview
Howmet is a producer ofglobal leader in lightweight metals engineering and manufacturing. Howmet’s innovative, multi-material products, including sheet, plate, precision castings, forgings, rolled rings, extrusions, wheelswhich include nickel, titanium, aluminum, and fasteners. Arconic’s productscobalt, are used worldwide in transportation (includingthe aerospace automotive, truck, trailer, rail,(commercial and shipping)defense), packaging, building and construction, oil and gas, defense,commercial transportation, and industrial applications. Arconic’s segments are organized by product on a worldwide basis. and other markets.
In the firstthird quarter of 2017,2022, the Company changedderived approximately 47% of its primary measurerevenue from products sold to the commercial aerospace market which is substantially less than the pre-pandemic 2019 annual rate of approximately 60%. Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the commercial aerospace industry to date, there has been a decrease in domestic and international air travel, which in turn has adversely affected demand for narrow-body and wide-body aircraft. Although domestic air travel is increasing, it is still below pre-pandemic 2019 levels on an average monthly basis. Year-to-date international travel also continues to be lower than pre-pandemic 2019 levels. Narrow-body demand is returning faster than wide-body demand and the commercial wide-body aircraft market is taking longer to recover, which is creating a shift in our product mix compared to pre-pandemic conditions. In addition to the impact from the pandemic, the timing and level of future aircraft builds by original equipment manufacturers are subject to changes and uncertainties, such as declines in Boeing 787 production rates due to delays in its recertification, which may cause our future results to differ from prior periods due to changes in product mix in certain segments.
For additional information regarding the ongoing risks related to our business, see section Part I, Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Results of Operations
Earnings Summary:
Sales. Sales were $1,433 in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $1,283 in the third quarter of 2021 and $4,150 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $3,687 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $150, or 12%, in the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to higher sales of 23% from the commercial aerospace market, an increase in material cost pass through of approximately $70, and favorable product pricing of $17, partially offset by lower sales in the defense aerospace market. The increase of $463, or 13%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to higher sales of 28% from the commercial aerospace market, an increase in material cost pass through of approximately $170, and favorable product pricing of $50, partially offset by lower sales in the defense aerospace market.
Cost of goods sold (“COGS”). COGS as a percentage of Sales was 73.7% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 72.3% in the third quarter of 2021 and 72.1% in both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021. The increase in the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to total COGS charges of $25 in the third quarter of 2022 related to fires that occurred at a Fastening Systems plant in France in 2019 (the “France Plant Fire”) and at a Forged Wheels plant in Barberton, Ohio in 2020 (the “Barberton Plant Fire”), and a mechanical failure resulting in substantial heat and fire-related damage to equipment at the Company’s cast house in Barberton, Ohio in the third quarter of 2022 (the “Barberton Cast House Incident”), compared to total COGS charges of $1 related to the France Plant Fire and Barberton Plant Fire in the third quarter of 2021, as well as material cost pass through and increased headcount, primarily in the Engine Products segment, performancein anticipation of future revenue increases, partially offset by higher volumes and favorable product pricing. COGS was flat in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to COGS charges of $32 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to the France Plant Fire, Barberton Plant Fire, and Barberton Cast House Incident, compared to net charges of $7 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 related to the France Plant Fire and the Barberton Plant Fire, as well as material cost pass through and increased headcount, primarily in the Engine Products and Fastening Systems segments, in anticipation of future revenue increases, offset by higher volumes and favorable product pricing. The Company has submitted insurance claims related to these plant fires. The Company anticipates additional charges of approximately $25 to $30 in the fourth quarter of 2022, with further impacts in subsequent quarters as the businesses continue to recover from After-tax operatingthe fires.

Selling, general administrative, and other expenses (“SG&A”). SG&A expenses were $73 in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $70 in the third quarter of 2021 and $225 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $190 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $3, or 4%, in the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to higher employment costs. The increase of $35, or 18%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to higher employment and legacy costs, as well as legal and other advisory reimbursements received in 2021 that did not occur in 2022.
Research and development expenses (“R&D”). R&D expenses were $7 in the third quarter of 2022 and $4 in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $3, or 75%. R&D expenses were $23 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and $13 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $10, or 77%. The increase in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to higher spending on technology projects.
Restructuring and other charges. Restructuring and other charges were $4 in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $8 in the third quarter of 2021 or a decrease of $4. Restructuring and other charges were $12 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $22 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or a decrease of $10. Restructuring and other charges for the third quarter of 2022 were primarily due to charges for U.S. and Canadian pension plan settlements of $3 and exit related costs, including accelerated depreciation, of $1. Restructuring and other charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily due to charges for U.S. pension plan settlements of $7 and exit related costs, including accelerated depreciation, of $6, partially offset by a reversal of $1 for a layoff reserve related to a prior period. Restructuring and other charges for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily due to charges for pension plan settlements and exit related costs. Most of the Company’s global pension plans currently offer lump-sum payment options.
See Note D to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item I of this Form 10-Q for additional detail.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $57 in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $63 in the third quarter of 2021 and $172 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $201 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease of $6, or 10%, in the third quarter of 2022 and $29, or 14%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to a reduced average level of debt for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
See Note N to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item I of this Form 10-Q for additional detail related to the Company’s debt.
Loss on debt redemption. Debt redemption or tender premiums include the cost to redeem or repurchase certain of the Company’s notes at a price which may be equal to the greater of the principal amount or the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments, discounted using a defined treasury rate plus a spread, or a price based on the market price of its notes. Loss on debt redemption was zero in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $118 in the third quarter of 2021 and $2 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $141 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease of $118 in the third quarter of 2022 and $139 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the debt premiums paid on the 6.875% Notes due 2025 and the 5.125% Notes due 2024 in the third quarter of 2021, and the 5.870% Notes due 2022 in the second quarter of 2021.
See Note N to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item I of this Form 10-Q for additional detail related to the Company’s debt.
Other expense, net. Other expense, net was $67 in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $1 in the third quarter of 2021 and Other expense, net was $67 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $13 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $66 in the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to the adverse judgment of $65 related to Lehman Brothers International (Europe) (“LBIE”) swaps that were entered into in 2007 and 2008, which were assumed as part of the Firth Rixson acquisition in 2014. The increase of $54 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the adverse judgment related to the LBIE legal proceeding of $65 and an increase from net realized and unrealized losses of $5, primarily due to unrecognized losses on debt securities investments, partially offset by impacts of deferred compensation arrangements of $16 and an increase in foreign currency gains of $8.
Provision (benefit) for income (ATOI)taxes. The estimated annual effective tax rate, before discrete items, applied to Adjusted earningsordinary income was 24.3% in both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 29.7% in both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The tax rate including discrete items was 23.1% (provision on income) in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 17.4% (benefit on income) in the third quarter of 2021. A discrete tax benefit of $2 was recorded in the third quarter of 2022 compared to a discrete tax benefit of $12 in the third quarter of 2021. The tax rate including discrete items was 21.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 26.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. A discrete tax benefit of $11 was recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to a discrete tax benefit of $9 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The estimated annual effective tax rate is a reflection of global income across numerous jurisdictions. As a result of the recovery in domestic profitability, the annual effective tax rate has decreased. Furthermore, on August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”), which is not expected to
25


have a material impact on the income tax provision. Management is currently evaluating provisions of the IRA that may have an impact on the 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements.
See Note G to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item I of this Form 10-Q for additional detail.
Net income. Net income was $80, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $27, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021 and $358, or $0.84 per diluted share, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $181, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $53 in the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to higher sales in the commercial aerospace market, favorable product pricing, a decrease in the Loss on debt redemption, a decrease in Interest expense, net, due to lower long-term debt levels, and a decrease in Restructuring and other charges, partially offset by lower sales in the defense aerospace market, the adverse judgment related to the LBIE legal proceeding, and an increase in Research and development expenses. The increase of $177 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to higher sales in the commercial aerospace market, favorable product pricing, a decrease in the Loss on debt redemption, a decrease in Interest expense, net, due to lower long-term debt levels, and a decrease in Restructuring and other charges, partially offset by lower sales in the defense aerospace market, an increase in material and other inflationary costs, the adverse judgment related to the LBIE legal proceeding, an increase in the provision for income taxes primarily driven by an increase in income before interest, tax, depreciationincome taxes, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”).an increase in Research and development expenses.
Segment Information
The Company’s operations consist of four worldwide reportable segments: Engine Products, Fastening Systems, Engineered Structures, and Forged Wheels. Segment performance under Arconic’sHowmet’s management reporting system is evaluated based on a number of factors; however, the primary measure of performance is Segment 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 equivalentPrior 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 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):

Also, options to purchase 3 million shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $33.33 and options to purchase 8 million shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $38.16 were outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their effect was anti-dilutive as the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of Arconic’s common stock.

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.

Public Debt – In April 2017, the Company announced three separate cash tender offers by the Investment Banks for the purchase of the Company’s 6.50% Bonds due 2018 (the “6.50% Bonds”), 6.75% Notes due 2018 (the “6.75% Notes”), and 5.72% Notes due 2019 (the “5.72% Notes”), up to a maximum purchase amount of $1,000 aggregate principal amount of notes, subject to certain conditions.

24


The Investment Banks purchased notes totaling $805 aggregate principal amount, including $150 aggregate principal amount of 6.50% Bonds, $405 aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Notes, and $250 aggregate principal amount of $5.72% Notes.

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.

On June 19, 2017, the Company completed the early redemption of its remaining outstanding 6.50% Bonds, with aggregate principal amount of $100, and its remaining outstanding 6.75% Notes, with aggregate principal amount of $345, for $479 in cash including accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of the early redemption of the 6.50% Bonds and 6.75% Notes, the Company recorded a charge of $24 in Interest expense in the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 for the premium paid for the early redemption of these notes in excess of their carrying value.

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 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.

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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm*

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Arconic Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Arconic Inc. and its subsidiaries (Arconic) as of September 30, 2017, and the related statements of consolidated operations, consolidated comprehensive income (loss), and changes in consolidated equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and the statement of consolidated cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. These consolidated interim financial statements are the responsibility of Arconic’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of consolidated operations, consolidated comprehensive loss, changes in consolidated equity, and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 28, 2017 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

(dollars in millions, except per share amounts and aluminum prices; shipments in thousands of metric tons [kmt])

Overview

Our Business

Arconic (“Arconic” or the “Company”) is a global leader in lightweight metals engineering and manufacturing. Arconic’s innovative, multi-material products, which include aluminum, titanium, and nickel alloys, are used worldwide in aerospace, automotive, commercial transportation, packaging, building and construction, oil and gas, defense, consumer electronics, and industrial applications.

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”). 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.

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. The increase in both periods was the result of strong volume growth in our Engineered Products and Solutions and Transportation 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 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 in 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% in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 79.8% and 78.9% in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The increase in both periods was primarily attributable to cost increases, including higher aluminum prices and ramp-up costs related to new commercial aerospace engines, and a lower margin product mix, partially offset by net cost savings.

29


Selling, general administrative, and other expenses (SG&A). SG&A expenses decreased $74 in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 as a result of expenses related to the Separation Transaction of $54 in the prior year period 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 legal and other advisory costs related to Grenfell Tower of $7 in the current year period.

Restructuring and other charges. Restructuring and other charges were $19 ($13 after-tax) in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $3 ($2 after-tax) in the third quarter of 2016. Restructuring and other charges were $118 ($99 after-tax) in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $33 ($22 after-tax) in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

In the third quarter of 2017, Arconic 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 to the sale of the Fusina, Italy rolling mill; a net benefit of $6 ($4 after-tax), for the reversal of forfeited executive stock compensation 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.

Arconic does not include Restructuring and other charges in the results of its reportable segments. The pretax impact of such charges to segment results would have been as follows:

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 all of the Company’s 6.50% Bonds due 2018 and 6.75% Notes due 2018, and a portion 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, 2017 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 $10 in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to the favorable post-closing adjustment related to the November 2014 acquisition of Firth Rixson that was recorded in the third quarter of 2016.

Other income, net increased $486 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to the gain on the sale 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’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). 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 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.

The tax provisions for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 were comprised of the following:

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 2017,2022, the Company changedused Segment operating profit as its primary measure of segmentperformance. However, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) believes that Segment Adjusted EBITDA is now a better representation of its business because it provides additional information with respect to the Company’s operating performance from After-tax operating income (ATOI)and the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations. Howmet’s definition of Segment Adjusted earningsEBITDA (Earnings before interest, tax,taxes, 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 EBITDAamortization) 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, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation and amortization. TheSpecial items, including Restructuring and other charges, are excluded from Net margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Differences between the total segment and consolidated totals are in Corporate (See Note C to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a description of each segment).

The Company has aligned its operations consistent with how the CEO assesses operating performance and allocates capital.
The Company produces aerospace engine parts and components and aerospace fastening systems for Boeing 737 MAX (“737 MAX”) airplanes. In late December 2019, Boeing announced a temporary suspension of the production of 737 MAX airplanes. This decline in production had a negative impact on sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the Engine Products, Fastening Systems, and Engineered Structures segments in 2020 and the first half of 2021. While regulatory authorities in the United States and certain other jurisdictions lifted grounding orders beginning in late 2020, our sales remained at lower levels through the first half of 2021 due to the residual impacts of the 737 MAX grounding.
The Company also produces aerospace engine parts and components and aerospace fastening systems for Boeing 787 airplanes. In 2020 and 2021, Boeing reduced production rates of the 787 airplanes. Boeing paused deliveries of its 787 aircraft in May 2021. The significant decline in Boeing 787 production rates had a negative impact on sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the Engine Products, Fastening Systems, and Solutions

Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $2for the Engine Products segment increased $125, or 30%, in the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was the result of unfavorable product pricing, ramp up costs associated with increasing production2021, primarily due to higher 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 relative to the fourth quarter of 2016 is expected along with continuedand oil and gas markets as well as strong productivity gains. The segment added approximately 1,040 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.

(2)Generally, average realized price per metric ton of aluminum includes two elements: a) the price of metal (the underlying base metal component based on quoted prices from the London Metal Exchange (“LME”), plus a regional premium which represents the incremental price over the base LME component that is associated with physical delivery of metal to a particular region), and b) the conversion price, which represents the incremental price over the metal price component that is associated with converting primary aluminum into sheet and plate.
(3)The metal price component is a pass-through to this segment’s customers with limited exceptions (e.g., fixed-priced contracts, certain regional premiums).

Third-party sales for the Global Rolled Products segment decreased 4% in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016. The decrease was primarily related to the impact of $131 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 $39 from the rolling mill in Fusina, Italy, which was sold in March 2017, and unfavorable product pricing, partially offset by higher aluminum pricing. Third-party sales decreased 1%headcount in the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 in anticipation of future revenue increases.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the Engine Products segment increased approximately 200 basis points in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to higher volumes in the commercial aerospace and oil and gas markets as well as strong productivity gains, partially offset by an increase in material cost pass through.

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

See Note Q to the California Supreme Court. On July 12, 2017, Northrop filed a petition for review by the Supreme CourtConsolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of the State of California. On September 13, 2017, the California Supreme Court denied Northrop’s petition for review. The remaining claims against Northropthis Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been remanded tono material changes from the trial court. No claims against Arconic are pendingrisk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the remanded case. No further reports will be madeCompany’s Annual Report 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.
