BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods of 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, as amended. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation. In the tables, dollars are in millions, except per share and per pound amounts, and shipments are in thousands of metric tons. A metric ton is equivalent to 2,205 pounds. 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGE In 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities." The SOP requires costs of start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred. The Company adopted the SOP in the second quarter of 1998 and recognized a charge for the cumulative effect of accounting change of $23 million. First quarter 1998 results were retroactively restated to reflect this accounting change. ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF DEVELOPING OR OBTAINING INTERNAL- USE SOFTWARE In the first quarter of 1999, the Company adopted the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." The SOP requires qualifying computer software costs incurred in connection with obtaining or developing software for internal use to be capitalized. In prior years, the Company capitalized costs of purchased software and expensed internal costs of developing software. The effect of adopting this SOP was not material to interim 1999 results, and is not expected to be material for the full year. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes new accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company must adopt this statement by January 1, 2001. The Company has not determined the impact this statement will have on its financial position or results of operations. 3. MERGER On August 18, 1999, the Company, Alcoa Inc. (Alcoa) and RLM Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Alcoa, entered into an agreement and plan of merger. Under the merger agreement, each outstanding share of common stock, no par value, of the Company will be converted into 1.06 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Alcoa. In connection with the merger agreement, the Company amended its shareholder rights plan to render the plan inapplicable to this transaction. In the third quarter of 1999, the Company recognized $12 million of merger-related expenses. Merger-related expenses are principally for investment banking and legal services and an increase in the expense accrual for a long-term compensation plan, which varies based principally on appreciation of the Company's stock price as compared to the S&P Basic Materials Index. 6 7 3. MERGER- continued The Boards of Directors of both Alcoa and Reynolds have approved the proposed merger, which is subject to customary conditions, including approval by the Company's stockholders and antitrust clearances. On September 29, 1999, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice issued a request for additional information and documentary material (a "second request"). Under the applicable provisions of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, the merger may not be consummated until the expiration of a statutory waiting period, which expires 20 days after both the Company and Alcoa substantially comply with the second request. The Company and Alcoa will also make filings under the competition laws of Canada and the European Union and other countries where the companies have significant operations. The merger agreement contains certain restrictions on the conduct of the Company's business before completion of the merger. For example, the Company has agreed to operate its business only in the ordinary course, to refrain from taking certain corporate actions without the consent of Alcoa, and not to solicit alternative acquisition proposals. Reference is made to the copy of the merger agreement incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 2. 4. OPERATIONAL RESTRUCTURING In the first quarter of 1999, the final closing of the sale of the Company's Alabama can stock complex occurred. Early in the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company announced that it had agreed in principle to sell its investment in a Canadian aluminum foil and sheet operation. No gain or loss will be recognized for this transaction, which is subject to regulatory and Board approvals, third party consents, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements and other customary closing conditions. In the nine-month period of 1998, the Company sold the following: . U.S. recycling operations . Canadian extrusion facilities . European rolling mill operations . an Illinois sheet and plate plant . North American aluminum beverage can operations 5. EXTRAORDINARY LOSS The Company had extraordinary losses from debt extinguishments in the third quarter ($60 million) and the nine-month period of 1998 ($63 million). These amounts are net of income tax benefits of $38 million in the third quarter and $39 million in the nine-month period. 7 8 6.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES As previously disclosed in the Company's 1998 Form 10-K, as amended, the Company is involved in various worldwide environmental improvement activities resulting from past operations, including designation as a potentially responsible party (PRP), with others, at various Environmental Protection Agency-designated Superfund sites. The Company has recorded amounts (on an undiscounted basis) which, in management's best estimate, will be sufficient to satisfy anticipated costs of known remediation requirements. Estimated costs for future environmental compliance and remediation are necessarily imprecise because of factors such as: . continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements . availability and application of technology . identification of presently unknown remediation requirements . cost allocations among PRPs Further, it is not possible to predict the amount or timing of future costs of environmental remediation that may subsequently be determined. Based on information presently available, such future costs are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's competitive or financial position. However, such costs could be material to results of operations in a future interim or annual reporting period. 10. CANADIAN REYNOLDS METALS COMPANY, LTD. AND REYNOLDS ALUMINUM COMPANY OF CANADA, LTD.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company's 1998 Form 10-K, as amended, along with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in and referred to in this report. In the tables, dollars are in millions, except per share and per pound amounts, and shipments are in thousands of metric tons. A metric ton is equivalent to 2,205 pounds. Management's Discussion and Analysis contains forecasts, projections, estimates, statements of management's plans, objectives and strategies for the Company and other forward- looking statements. Please refer to the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 23, where we have summarized factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in a forward-looking statement or affect the extent to which a particular projection is realized. MERGER - ------ On August 18, 1999, the Company, Alcoa Inc. (Alcoa) and RLM Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Alcoa, entered into an agreement and plan of merger. Under the merger agreement, each outstanding share of common stock, no par value, of the Company will be converted into 1.06 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Alcoa. In connection with the merger agreement, the Company amended its shareholder rights plan to render the plan inapplicable to this transaction. In the third quarter of 1999, the Company recognized $12 million of merger-related expenses. Merger-related expenses are principally for investment banking and legal services and an increase in the expense accrual for a long-term compensation plan, which varies based principally on appreciation of the Company's stock price as compared to the S&P Basic Materials Index. The Company expects total merger-related expenses to be at least $25 million. The Boards of Directors of both Alcoa and Reynolds have approved the proposed merger, which is subject to customary conditions, including approval by the Company's stockholders and antitrust clearances. On September 29, 1999, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice issued a request for additional information and documentary material (a "second request"). Under the applicable provisions of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, the merger may not be consummated until the expiration of a statutory waiting period, which expires 20 days after both the Company and Alcoa substantially comply with the second request. The Company and Alcoa will also make filings under the competition laws of Canada and the European Union and other countries where the companies have significant operations. The Company hopes to complete the merger in the first quarter of next year. However, no assurances can be made that the merger will be completed by then. The merger agreement contains certain restrictions on the conduct of the Company's business before completion of the merger. For example, the Company has agreed to operate its business only in the ordinary course, to refrain from taking certain corporate actions without the consent of Alcoa, and not to solicit alternative acquisition proposals. Reference is made to the copy of the merger agreement incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 2. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- Net income was $36 million for the third quarter of 1999 and $61 million for the nine months of 1999 compared with net income of $202 million for the third quarter of 1998 and $111 million for the nine months of 1998. Net income for the third quarter and nine months of 1999 included after-tax merger-related expenses of $9 million. In addition to the extraordinary loss and cumulative effect of accounting change shown in the table below, the third quarter and nine months of 1998 included non-recurring, after-tax income of $201 million and $5 million, respectively, for operational restructuring. For additional information concerning the operational restructuring charges, see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. 15 16 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued - --------------------- Third Quarter Nine Months --------------- -------------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 --------------- -------------- RESULTS Income before extraordinary loss and cumulative effect of accounting change $ 36 $ 262 $ 61 $ 197 Extraordinary loss (see Note 5) - (60) - (63) Cumulative effect of accounting change (see Note 2) - - - (23) --------------- -------------- Net income $ 36 $ 202 $ 61 $ 111 =============== ============== EARNINGS PER SHARE - BASIC Income before extraordinary loss and cumulative effect of accounting change $0.56 $3.80 $0.95 $2.76 Extraordinary loss - (.88) - (.89) Cumulative effect of accounting change - - - (.32) ------------------------------- Net income $0.56 $2.92 $0.95 $1.55 =============================== AVERAGE REALIZED PRICE PER POUND Primary aluminum $0.71 $0.70 $0.68 $0.73 Our profit before tax from operations for the third quarter of 1999 was down $22 million compared to the third quarter of 1998. This decrease was attributable principally to the following factors: . lower aluminum pricing in fabricated aluminum products of $14 million . loss of income on sold operations of $31 million . weaker results in our Transportation unit . a $7 million non-cash charge for foreign currency translation of a Canadian deferred tax liability On the positive side, gains in sales volumes across all global business units, particularly Base Materials and Packaging and Consumer, improved profit before taxes. Quarter-over-quarter improvement in interest expense was $8 million, and SG&A expenses from our ongoing operations were $4 million lower. For the nine-month period, our profit before tax from operations of $92 million was $183 million lower than we experienced for the same period in 1998. Included in the results are three items that had a negative impact: . $143 million of lower aluminum pricing . $111 million from the loss of income on sold operations . $40 million of non-cash charges for foreign currency translation relating to a Canadian deferred tax liability and our investment in can operations in Brazil Contributing $57 million to the favorable ongoing operating results were higher sales volumes and lower conversion costs primarily in our Base Materials unit, and lower SG&A expenses. Year-over-year improvement for the nine-month period in interest expense was $37 million. GLOBAL BUSINESS UNITS The Company is organized into four market-based, global business units. The four global business units and their principal products are as follows: . Base Materials - alumina, carbon products, primary aluminum ingot and billet, and electrical rod . Packaging and Consumer - aluminum and plastic packaging and consumer products; printing products . Construction and Distribution - architectural construction products and the distribution of a wide variety of aluminum and stainless steel products . Transportation - aluminum wheels, heat exchangers and automotive structures 16 17 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued - --------------------- GLOBAL BUSINESS UNITS - continued Base Materials Third Quarter Nine Months ----------------- ----------------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 ----------------- ----------------- Aluminum shipments: Customer 226 172 653 485 Internal 52 94 156 275 ----------------- ----------------- Total 278 266 809 760 ================= ================= Revenues: Customer - aluminum $357 $263 $ 973 $ 778 - nonaluminum 97 85 257 314 Internal - aluminum 78 156 225 445 ----------------- ----------------- Total $532 $504 $1,455 $1,537 ================= ================= Operating income $ 78 $ 65 $ 147 $ 239 ================= ================= The increase in customer aluminum shipments in the third quarter and nine months of 1999 reflects strong demand for our value- added products (foundry and sheet ingot, billet and rod), which made up approximately 73% of the primary aluminum shipments in these periods. Our available supply to meet customer demand has increased because we no longer need to supply downstream fabricating operations that have been sold, and we restarted idled capacity in 1998. In addition to reflecting the changes in shipping volume, aluminum revenues in the nine-month period of 1999 were significantly affected by lower prices for primary aluminum. Nonaluminum revenues were higher in the third quarter of 1999 because of higher prices for alumina. For the nine-month period of 1999, nonaluminum revenues were lower because prices for alumina were lower than those realized in the nine-month period of 1998. Customer shipments of alumina were also lower due to greater internal use resulting from our restart of idled primary aluminum capacity in 1998. Operating income improved in the third quarter of 1999 because of higher prices for aluminum and alumina, higher shipments of primary aluminum products, improved capacity utilization and lower conversion costs. Operating income for the nine-month period of 1999 was significantly impacted by lower prices for most products. We were able to offset some of this decline with higher shipments of primary aluminum, improved capacity utilization and lower material and conversion costs. Bonneville Power Administration ("BPA") supplies electricity to our smelters at Longview, Washington and Troutdale, Oregon. The current contract with BPA expires in October 2001. BPA has proposed reducing the amount of power supplied to the smelters by one-third and pricing the power on a formula under which charges would vary with world aluminum prices. Assuming "average" world aluminum prices (with the basis for determining what is "average" yet to be settled), the rate charged to Reynolds for the period 2001-2006 would increase by 13% over what we currently pay. We would also have to find other sources for the balance of our power needs. The BPA proposal is subject to full consideration in a rate case, in which we can present arguments to improve the offered rate, and other parties can challenge both the quantity of power being provided to the Reynolds smelters and the rates at which it is to be provided. We expect to participate actively in the resolution of this issue and to continue assessing alternate power sources for the two smelters. We have a 10% equity interest in the Aluminum Smelter Company of Nigeria. The smelter has closed indefinitely due to a lack of working capital. The closing has no material effect on our operations or financial position. 17 18 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued - --------------------- GLOBAL BUSINESS UNITS - continued PACKAGING AND CONSUMER Third Quarter Nine Months --------------- --------------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 --------------- --------------- Customer aluminum shipments 36 34 107 101 Revenues: Customer - aluminum $199 $191 $ 583 $ 571 - nonaluminum 156 150 438 430 --------------- --------------- Total $355 $341 $1,021 $1,001 =============== =============== Operating income $ 35 $ 34 $ 103 $ 96 =============== =============== Shipments and revenues were higher in the third quarter and nine months of 1999 because of strong demand for most products, despite declining demand in the tobacco market. The volume impact on revenues was partly offset by lower selling prices. The increases in operating income in both periods reflect the higher shipping volumes, lower conversion costs and lower costs for aluminum raw materials. These benefits were somewhat offset by the effects of lower selling prices. Raw material costs for plastic products were higher in the third quarter of 1999 but were lower in the nine-month period of 1999. CONSTRUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION Third Quarter Nine Months --------------- --------------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 --------------- --------------- Customer aluminum shipments 53 48 151 140 Revenues: Customer - aluminum $176 $176 $505 $511 - nonaluminum 80 79 237 242 --------------- --------------- Total $256 $255 $742 $753 =============== =============== Operating income $ 11 $ 13 $ 32 $ 29 =============== =============== Shipments increased in the third quarter and nine months of 1999 because of strong demand for most distribution products. Shipments of construction products reflected weak conditions in several markets outside the U.S., such as Asia and Latin America. Revenues were adversely affected in both periods because of lower prices for most products. The decline in prices for aluminum products reflects lower material costs. Prices for stainless steel products were lower due to global supply/demand imbalances and lower material costs. Operating income was negatively affected in both periods by lower selling prices and margins. These effects were more than offset in the nine-month period of 1999 by lower conversion costs and expenses. 18 19 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued - --------------------- GLOBAL BUSINESS UNITS - continued TRANSPORTATION Third Quarter Nine Months --------------- --------------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 --------------- --------------- Customer aluminum shipments 17 15 54 46 Customer revenues $89 $75 $289 $242 Operating loss (15) (7) (23) (14) Shipments and revenues were higher in the third quarter and nine months of 1999 because of strong demand for cast and forged aluminum wheels. Our available supply increased due to improved capacity utilization and the completion of the expansion of our Virginia forged aluminum wheel plant in February 1999. Shipments and revenues in the third quarter of 1998 were adversely affected by a strike at a major customer. Operating losses were greater because of start-up costs relating to an engine cradle program at our Indiana automotive structures plant (see below) and higher conversion costs in wheel operations. These effects were partially offset by lower material costs, improved shipping volume and capacity utilization in wheel and heat exchanger operations, and operating improvements at our Beloit, Wisconsin wheel plant. The Company and an automobile manufacturer are pioneering the first, mass-produced, high-volume, all-aluminum engine cradle. The engine cradle offers significant weight savings, reduces noise and vibration, and provides important safety features. We have incurred high start-up costs because of the complexity of the production process and our acceleration of the timetable to begin production. No other manufacturer has yet produced this particular component. RESTRUCTURING The final closing of the sale of the Alabama can stock complex occurred at the end of the first quarter of 1999. The Company had signed a definitive sales agreement in December 1998 covering the disposition of the complex and agreed to operate it on behalf of the buyer for a management fee until all administrative aspects of the transaction could be completed. As a result, no revenues or operating results are included in the Restructuring category in 1999. OTHER The Other category consists principally of operations in emerging markets, European extrusion operations and investments in Canada, Latin America and Saudi Arabia. Early in the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company announced that it had agreed in principle to sell its investment in a Canadian aluminum foil and sheet operation included in this category. The transaction is subject to regulatory and Board approvals, third party consents, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements and other customary closing conditions. No gain or loss will be recognized for this transaction which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2000. RECONCILING ITEMS The increases in corporate expenses in both 1999 periods were due to foreign currency related losses and charges, principally in Brazil and Canada. For additional information concerning the global business units, see Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense decreased in both 1999 periods because of: . lower amounts of debt outstanding . lower average interest rates due to extinguishing higher cost debt . higher amounts for capitalized interest 19 20 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued - --------------------- TAXES ON INCOME The effective tax rates reflected in the income statement differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate principally because of the following: . foreign taxes at different rates . the effects of percentage depletion allowances . credits and other tax benefits YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE ISSUE The year 2000 issue results from computer programs and systems that rely on two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Such systems may treat a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. As a result, computer systems could fail to operate or make miscalculations, causing disruption of business operations. Left unrepaired, many of the Company's systems, including information and computer systems and automated equipment, could be affected by the year 2000 issue. Failure to adequately address the issue could result in, among other things, the temporary inability to manufacture products, process transactions, send invoices, and/or engage in normal business activities. We do not believe the products we sell require remediation to address the year 2000 issue since they do not depend on the calendar function in the electronic components. GOAL The Company has a formal program to address and resolve potential exposure associated with information and non-information technology systems arising from the year 2000 issue. Our goal is that none of the Company's critical business operations or computer processes we share with our suppliers and customers will be substantially impaired by the advent of the year 2000. Our program is led by our Year 2000 Program Management Office, which recommends processes and tools for year 2000 remediation to the Company's business units and monitors progress. The Program Management Office consolidates progress information into monthly status reports for review by management, the Company's internal auditors and the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is also given periodic briefings on progress and plans from the Program Management Office. YEAR 2000 REMEDIATION PROJECT We have completed preparation of our critical, date-sensitive computer systems, processes and interfacing software which include both our information systems and our non-information systems (e.g., manufacturing and mechanical systems) for the year 2000. Our preparation included five phases: (1) inventory, (2) planning, (3) conversion, (4) pre-installation testing and (5) installation. We continue to monitor our computer and software vendors' readiness statements to assure that readiness changes in their products do not negatively affect our systems. QUALITY ASSURANCE We have substantially completed validation of our remediation efforts with additional post-installation testing of certain critical computer systems. We have also tested the exchange of data with certain suppliers, customers and government agencies. Some additional quality assurance review and testing will continue through year end based upon ongoing monitoring of status information from customers and suppliers. Most computer software package providers continue to monitor test results from their customers as part of their quality assurance programs. We anticipate that software package providers will continue to send us updates in the fourth quarter and into 2000 if needed. We will perform quality assurance testing on these updates. 20 21 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued - --------------------- YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE - continued CONTINGENCY PLANNING A key aspect of the Company's contingency planning for the year 2000 focuses on assessment of the business impact on the Company resulting from the possible failure of our suppliers to provide needed products and services. We have surveyed those suppliers who are deemed to be critical to each of our operating locations, even though the products or services they provide may not be material to the Company's business as a whole, to assess their year 2000 readiness. We are currently monitoring over 1,500 suppliers and have completed the process of rating them low, medium or high risk in their progress toward being ready for the year 2000. Critical suppliers rated as high risk received primary attention for contingency planning or other measures such as identifying additional sources of supply for critical materials. In addition, we have nearly completed our plan to have identified additional sources of supply or to develop other contingency plans with respect to those critical suppliers who are not ranked as low risk. We will continue monitoring these suppliers into the year 2000. As of September 30, 1999, we were on schedule with our third party evaluations, having completed approximately 98% of the projected total effort that we currently estimate will be needed. We have completed year 2000 readiness evaluations of our largest customers, none of which are material to our operations as a whole. In addition, we will continue to respond to customer inquiries regarding our year 2000 program and our progress in addressing the issue. The Company currently has in place operating procedures and business continuity plans at its operating locations for responding to unusual, disruptive situations such as power shortages, failures by major suppliers and natural disasters. These existing procedures and plans provide a solid foundation for addressing many year 2000 issues. As unique risks are identified and deemed sufficiently likely to occur, we are making necessary adaptations or additions to our existing procedures and plans. Contingency planning and monitoring to determine realistic year 2000 issues beyond those already addressed will continue for the remainder of the year and into the first quarter of 2000. Several reasonably likely worst case scenarios involve shortages or unanticipated outages of energy requirements. Our operations, particularly in the Base Materials business, require significant quantities of energy. Curtailments or disruptions of energy supplies would result in full or partial shutdowns of these operations until energy availability could be restored. In addition, an unanticipated loss of energy supply could result in damage to production equipment. We continue to assess these and other business disruption risks. COSTS The total cost of our year 2000 remediation project is currently expected to be approximately $22 million. As of September 30, 1999, we had incurred approximately $21 million, which includes labor, equipment and license costs. We have not determined the potential costs of business disruptions from supplier or customer non-performance. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- WORKING CAPITAL September 30 December 31 1999 1998 -------------- ------------- Working capital $110 $361 Ratio of current assets to current liabilities 1.1/1 1.3/1 The decline in working capital was due in part to the sale of $125 million of accounts receivable under a non-recourse facility. After completing substantially all of our Portfolio Review process, we are able to operate with lower levels of working capital. OPERATING ACTIVITIES Net cash provided by operating activities in the nine-month period of 1999 was used to fund investing activities. It includes the proceeds from the sale of accounts receivable. 21 22 INVESTING ACTIVITIES Capital investments totaled $376 million in the nine-month period of 1999. This amount includes $85 million for operating requirements (replacement equipment, environmental control projects, etc.). The remainder was for strategic projects (performance improvements, investments, etc.) principally carried forward from 1998, including: . expanding the Worsley Alumina Refinery in Australia . modernizing U.S. foil plants . acquiring two producers of flexographic separations and plates for the packaging industry in the U.S. and one in Canada and a U.S. manufacturer of microwaveable containers for the food service industry . establishing a foodservice packaging and consumer products subsidiary in Brazil . expanding a plant in Europe that will produce composite architectural products . acquiring and opening new metals distribution centers . expanding a forged wheel plant in Virginia (completed in the first quarter of 1999) . expanding and modifying an automotive structures plant in Indiana (completed in the second quarter of 1999) Total capital investments planned for 1999 (approximately $440 million) are primarily for those strategic projects now under way and continuing operating requirements. We expect to fund the capital investments remaining in 1999 primarily with cash provided by operating activities supplemented with funds from financing activities. Part of the proceeds from operational restructuring was used to repurchase common stock. FINANCING ACTIVITIES In the nine months of 1999, the Company: . increased short-term borrowings by $197 million . borrowed $150 million under our revolving credit facilities and increased available revolving credit facilities by $185 million (see Note 7) . issued $100 million of medium-term notes (see Note 7), reducing to $13 million the amount of debt securities available for issuance under our shelf registration . increased the authorization to issue commercial paper from $350 million to $500 million . repurchased common stock with part of the proceeds from sales of assets (see the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity) We used the proceeds from the borrowings to repay at maturity $100 million of 9 3/8% debentures, to reduce borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and to make other scheduled debt payments. 22 23 RISK FACTORS - ------------ This section should be read in conjunction with Part I, Item 1 (Business), Item 3 (Legal Proceedings) and Item 7 (Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) of the Company's 1998 Form 10-K, as amended, and the preceding portions of this Item. This report contains (and oral communications made by or on behalf of the Company may contain) forecasts, projections, estimates, statements of management's plans, objectives and strategies for the Company and other forward-looking statements<F1>. The Company's expectations for the future and related forward- looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and forecasts, including: . world economic growth and other economic indicators (including rates of inflation, industrial production, housing starts and light vehicle sales) . trends in the Company's key markets . global aluminum supply and demand conditions . primary aluminum prices By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, and various factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in a forward- looking statement or affect the extent to which a particular projection is realized. The Company remains optimistic about the demand for aluminum for the remainder of 1999 and 2000. A strong recovery in Asia (excluding Japan) and most of Western Europe coupled with continued strong demand in North America should result in global aluminum consumption growing by at least 3% in 1999. These economic recoveries set the stage for aluminum consumption to resume the forecast long-term trend growth rate of 4% to 5% per year in 2000 and 2001. Economic and/or market conditions other than those forecasted by the Company in the preceding paragraph could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in a forward-looking statement or affect the extent to which a particular projection is realized. The following factors also could affect the Company's results: . Primary aluminum is an internationally traded commodity. The price of primary aluminum is subject to worldwide market forces of supply and demand and other influences. Prices can be volatile. Because primary aluminum makes up a significant portion of the Company's shipments, changes in aluminum pricing have a rapid effect on the Company's operating results. The Company's use of contractual arrangements, including fixed-price sales contracts, fixed-price supply contracts, and forward, futures and option contracts, reduces its exposure to price volatility but does not eliminate it. . The markets for most aluminum products are highly competitive. Certain of the Company's competitors are larger than the Company in terms of total assets and operations and have greater financial resources. Certain foreign governments are involved in the operation and/or ownership of certain competitors and may be motivated by political as well as economic considerations. In addition, aluminum competes with other materials, such as steel, plastics and glass, among others, for various applications in the Company's key markets. Plastic products compete with similar products made by the Company's competitors, as well as with products made of glass, aluminum, steel, paper, wood and ceramics, among others. Unanticipated actions or developments by or affecting the Company's competitors and/or the willingness of customers to accept substitutions for the products sold by the Company could affect results. [FN] ________________________ <F1>Forward-looking statements can be identified generally as those containing words such as "should," "will," "will likely result," "hope," "forecast," "outlook," "project," "estimate," "expect," "anticipate," "scheduled," or "plan" and words of similar effect. </FN> 23 24 RISK FACTORS - continued - ------------ . The Company spends substantial capital and operating amounts relating to ongoing compliance with environmental laws. In addition, the Company is involved in remedial investigations and actions in connection with past disposal of wastes. The identification of additional material remediation sites in the future (that are presently unknown) at which the Company may be named as a potentially responsible party could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations in a future interim or annual reporting period. Moreover, estimating future environmental compliance and remediation costs is imprecise due to: - continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements and uncertainties about their application to the Company's operations - availability and application of technology - allocation of costs among potentially responsible parties . The Company has investments and activities in various emerging markets, including Russia, China, India and Brazil. While emerging markets offer strong growth potential, they also present a higher degree of risk than more developed markets. In addition to the business risks inherent in developing and servicing new markets, economic conditions may be more volatile, legal systems less developed and predictable, and the possibility of various types of adverse government action more pronounced. . Unanticipated material legal proceedings or investigations, or the disposition of those currently pending against the Company other than as anticipated by management and counsel, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations for a particular reporting period. . Changes in the costs or availability of supply of power, resins, caustic soda, green coke and other raw materials can materially affect results. Substantial increases in power costs, particularly in the Pacific Northwest, may adversely affect the Company's primary aluminum production plants which require reliable, low-cost power. . A number of the Company's operations are cyclical and can be influenced by economic conditions. . A failure to complete the Company's major capital projects, such as expansion of the Worsley Alumina Refinery (by reason of construction delays or disputes, labor unrest or otherwise), as scheduled and within budget or a failure to successfully launch new growth or strategic business programs, such as the engine cradle program where we are still experiencing excess start-up costs, could affect the Company's results. . The Company's results may be adversely affected if it fails to address successfully the year 2000 issue. While the Company believes it has prepared its information and non-information systems for the advent of the year 2000, a failure to locate and correct all relevant computer codes could result in disruptions of Company operations, some of which may be significant. Also, there can be no guarantee that other entities with which the Company does business will convert their computer applications on a timely basis and no assurance given that their failure to be year 2000 compliant will not have an adverse effect on the Company. . A strike at a customer facility or a significant downturn in the business of a key customer supplied by the Company could affect the Company's results. . The Company's proposed merger with Alcoa Inc. is subject to certain conditions, including approval by the Company's stockholders and antitrust clearance. As discussed under "Merger" in this Item 2, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice has issued a second request, and under the applicable provisions of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, the merger with Alcoa may not be consummated until expiration of a statutory waiting period which expires 20 days after both the Company and Alcoa substantially comply with the second request. The Company and Alcoa will also make filings under the competition laws of Canada and the European Union and other countries where the companies have significant operations. It is possible that regulatory authorities may impose conditions on the combined operations or require divestitures as a condition to approving the merger. While the Company is working promptly toward completion of the merger, no assurances can be given as to whether regulatory delays will be encountered or regulatory conditions to the merger imposed, or the possible effects of such delays or conditions. 24 25 RISK FACTORS - continued - ------------ In addition to the factors referred to above, the Company is exposed to general financial, political, economic and business risks in connection with its worldwide operations. The Company continues to evaluate and manage its operations in a manner to mitigate the effects from exposure to such risks. In general, the Company's expectations for the future are based on the assumption that conditions relating to costs, currency values, competition and the legal, regulatory, financial, political and business environments in the worldwide economies and markets in which the Company operates will not change significantly overall. 25 26 Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Forward, futures, option and swap contracts are designated to manage market risks resulting from fluctuations in the aluminum, natural gas, foreign currency and debt markets. Contracts used to manage risks in these markets are not material. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES (a) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities Under the Registrant's Stock Plan for Outside Directors (the "Plan"), 106 phantom shares, in the aggregate, were granted to the Registrant's nine outside Directors on July 1, 1999, based on an average price of $59.6250 per share. These phantom shares represent dividend equivalents paid on phantom shares previously granted under the Plan. 756 phantom shares, in the aggregate, were granted to the nine outside Directors on September 30, 1999, based on an average price of $60.00 per share. These phantom shares represent a quarterly installment of each outside Director's annual grant under the Plan. To the extent that these grants constitute sales of equity securities, the Registrant issued these phantom shares in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, taking into account the nature of the Plan, the number of outside Directors participating in the Plan, the sophistication of the outside Directors and their access to the kind of information that a registration statement would provide. A description of the Plan is contained in the Registrant's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 in Part II, Item 5 under the caption "Sale of Unregistered Securities". ITEM 6.
