Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some
of
the
information
included
in
this
presentation
is
derived
from
Alcoa’s
consolidated
financial
information
but
is
not
presented
in
Alcoa’s
financial
statements
prepared
in
accordance
with
U.S.
generally
accepted
accounting
principles
(GAAP).
Certain
of
these
data
are
considered
“non-GAAP
financial
measures”
under
SEC
rules.
These
non-GAAP
financial
measures
supplement
our
GAAP
disclosures
and
should
not
be
considered
an
alternative
to
the
GAAP
measure.
Reconciliations
to
the
most
directly
comparable
GAAP
financial
measures
and
management’s
rationale
for
the
use
of
the
non-GAAP
financial
measures
can
be
found
in
the
Appendix
to
this
presentation
and
on
our
website
at
www.alcoa.com
under
the
“Invest”
section.
Any
reference
during
the
discussion
today
to
EBITDA
means
adjusted
EBITDA,
for
which
we
have
provided
calculations
and
reconciliations
in
the
Appendix
and

website.

Effective tax rate, excluding discrete tax items is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Management believes that the Effective tax rate, excluding
discrete tax items is meaningful to investors because it provides a view of Alcoa’s operational tax rate.

Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Alcoa – as adjusted is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews the
operating results of Alcoa excluding the impacts of restructuring and other charges, discrete tax items, and special items.  There can be no assurances that additional restructuring and other charges, discrete tax
items, and special items will not occur in future periods.  To compensate for this limitation, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Alcoa
determined under GAAP as well as Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Alcoa – as adjusted.
* Discrete tax items include the following: 
     
for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, a benefit for the reversal of the remaining valuation allowance related to net operating losses of an international subsidiary ($16) (a portion was initially reversed in the quarter ended September 30,
2010) and a net benefit for other small items ($2);

for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, charges for a change in the tax treatment of federal subsidies received related to prescription drug benefits provided under certain retiree health benefit plans ($79), unbenefitted losses in Russia,
China, and Italy ($22), interest due to the IRS related to a previously deferred gain associated with the 2007 formation of the former soft alloy extrusions joint venture ($6), and a change in the anticipated sale structure of the Transportation

for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, favorable mark-to-market changes in derivative contracts ($22), a charge for costs associated with the potential strike and successful execution of a new agreement with the USW ($13), and a charge

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations after taking into consideration capital
expenditures due to the fact that these expenditures are considered necessary to maintain and expand Alcoa’s asset base and are expected to generate future cash flows from operations.  It is important to note that Free Cash Flow
does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, each of the monthly balances of Receivables from customers reflected the sale of $250 million under the Company's
accounts receivable securitization program, which was terminated in the first quarter of 2010.  In calculating the average Receivables from customers
balance for the fourth quarter of 2010, the balances for October and November were reduced on a pro forma basis by the estimated impact of the
accounts receivable programs implemented during the fourth quarter of 2010 to ensure all three months were comparable with the fourth quarter of
2009 for purposes of this calculation.

Alcoa’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation, depletion, 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, depletion, and amortization.  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Management believes that this measure is meaningful to
investors because Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to Alcoa’s operating performance and the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations.  The Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures of other companies.
