Return on capital, excluding growth investments is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Management believes that this

measure is meaningful to investors because it provides greater insight with respect to the underlying operating

performance of the company’s productive assets.  The company has significant growth investments underway in its

upstream and downstream businesses, as previously noted, with expected completion dates over the next several

years.  As these investments generally require a period of time before they are productive, management believes that a

return on capital measure excluding these growth investments is more representative of current operating performance.

measure.

The

following

matters

should

be

considered

when

evaluating

this

non-GAAP

financial

measure:

Alcoa

reviews

the

operating

results

of

its

businesses

excluding

the

impacts

of

restructurings

and

discontinued

operations.

Excluding

the

impacts

of

these

items

can

provide

an

additional

basis

of

comparison.

Management

believes

that

these

items

are

unusual

in

nature,

and

would

not

be

indicative

of

ongoing

operating

results.

As

a

result,

management

believes

these

items

should

be

considered

in

order

to

compare

past,

current,

and

future

periods.

The

economic

impacts

of

the

restructuring

charges

are

described

in

a

footnote

to

Alcoa’s

financial

statements.

Generally

speaking,

charges

associated

with

restructurings

include

cash

and

non-cash

charges

and

are

the

result

of

employee

layoff,

plant

consolidation

of

assets,

or

plant

closure

costs.

These

actions

are

taken

in

order

to

achieve

a

lower

cost

base

for

future

operating

results.

Restructuring

charges

and

discontinued

operations

are

typically

material

and

are

considered

to

be

outside

the

normal

operations

of

a

business.

Corporate

management

is

responsible

for

making

decisions

about

restructurings

and

discontinued

operations.

There

can

be

no

assurance

that

additional

restructurings

and

discontinued

operations

will

not

occur

in

future

periods.

To

compensate

for

this

limitation,

management

believes

that

it

is

appropriate

to

consider

both

income

from

continuing

operations

determined

under

GAAP

as

well

as

income

from

continuing

operations

excluding

restructuring

and

other

charges.

The effective tax rate, excluding restructuring charges is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Management believes that this measure is

meaningful to investors because it provides greater insight to the company’s tax position.  There can be no assurance that additional

restructuring charges will not occur in the future.  As a result, management believes that it is appropriate to consider the effective tax rate under

GAAP as well as after adjustment for restructuring charges.
