Forward-looking statements include those containing such words as "anticipates," "believes," "could," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "goal," "guidance," "intends," "may," "outlook," "plans," "projects," "seeks," "sees," "should," "targets," "will," "would," or other words of similar meaning. All statements that reflect Arconic’s expectations, assumptions, projections, beliefs or opinions about the future, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements, relating to the condition of, or trends or developments in, the ground transportation, aerospace, building and construction, industrial, packaging and other end markets; Arconic’s future financial results, operating performance, working capital, cash flows, liquidity and financial position; cost savings and restructuring programs; Arconic's strategies, outlook, business and financial prospects; share repurchases; costs associated with pension and other postretirement benefit plans; projected sources of cash flow; potential legal liability; the impact of inflationary price pressures; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; and the timing and levels of potential recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic within our end markets. These statements reflect beliefs and assumptions that are based on Arconic’s perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors Arconic believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances, many of which are beyond Arconic’s control. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (a) continuing uncertainty regarding the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the businesses of our customers and suppliers including labor shortages and increased quarantine rates; (b) deterioration in global economic and financial market conditions generally; (c) unfavorable changes in the end markets we serve; (d) the inability to achieve the level of revenue growth, cash generation, cost savings, benefits of our management of legacy liabilities, improvement in profitability and margins, fiscal discipline, or strengthening of competitiveness and operations anticipated or targeted; (e) adverse changes in discount rates or investment returns on pension assets; (f) competition from new product offerings, disruptive technologies, industry consolidation or other developments; (g) the loss of significant customers or adverse changes in customers’ business or financial condition; (h) manufacturing difficulties or other issues that impact product performance, quality or safety; (i) the impact of pricing volatility in raw materials and inflationary pressures on our costs of production; (j) a significant downturn in the business or financial condition of a key supplier or other supply chain disruptions; (k) challenges to or infringements on our intellectual property rights; (l) the inability to successfully implement our re-entry into the U.S. packaging market or to realize the expected benefits of other strategic initiatives or projects; (m) the inability to identify or successfully respond to changing trends in our end markets; (n) the impact of potential cyber attacks and information technology or data security breaches; (o) geopolitical, economic, and regulatory risks relating to our global operations, including compliance with U.S. and foreign trade and tax laws, sanctions, embargoes and other regulations, and the potential for increased tensions between the United States and Russia resulting from the current situation involving Russia and the Ukraine; (p) the outcome of contingencies, including legal proceedings, government or regulatory investigations, and environmental remediation and compliance matters; (q) restrictions imposed by authorities on the operation of our Samara, Russia facility; and (r) the other risk factors summarized in Arconic’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The above list of factors is not exhaustive or necessarily in order of importance. Market projections are subject to the risks discussed above and in this presentation, and other risks in the market. The statements in this presentation are made as of the date of this presentation, even if subsequently made available by Arconic on its website or otherwise. Arconic disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. 
 

 Important Information (cont’d)  3    Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresSome of the information included in this presentation is derived from Arconic’s consolidated financial information but is not presented in Arconic’s financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Certain of these financial measures 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 any measure of performance or financial condition as determined in accordance with GAAP, and investors should consider Arconic’s performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of Arconic. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures presented by Arconic may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. 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. Arconic has not provided reconciliations of any forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because such reconciliations are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the variability and complexity with respect to the charges and other components excluded from the non-GAAP measures, such as the effects of metal price lag, foreign currency movements, gains or losses on sales of assets, taxes, and any future restructuring or impairment charges. These reconciling items are in addition to the inherent variability already included in the GAAP measures, which includes, but is not limited to, price/mix and volume. Arconic believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.

These reconciling items are in addition to the inherent variability already included in the GAAP measures, which includes, but is not limited to, price/mix and volume.

 Appendix   
 

   22   ($M)  Quarter ended          December 31,    September 30,  December 31,    2021    2021  2020   Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA(1)  $ 186     $ 182   $ 165    Unallocated amounts:              Corporate expenses(2)  (7)    (7)  (9)   Stock-based compensation expense  (7)    (8)  (5)   Metal price lag(3)  11    (21)  3   Provision for depreciation and amortization  (67)    (61)  (60)   Impairment of goodwill(4)  (65)    –  –   Restructuring and other charges(5)  (12)    (14)  (127)   Other(6)  (17)    (3)  (13)   Operating income (loss)  22    68  (46)   Interest expense  (26)    (26)  (21)   Other expenses, net  (15)    (15)  (1)   (Provision) Benefit for income taxes  (19)    (11)  4   Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest  –    –  –  Consolidated net (loss) income attributable to Arconic Corporation  $ (38)    $ 16  $ (64)               Reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA  Arconic’s profit or loss measure for its reportable segments is Segment Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization). The Company calculates Segment Adjusted EBITDA as Total sales (third-party and intersegment) minus each of (i) Cost of goods sold, (ii) Selling, general administrative, and other expenses, and (iii) Research and development expenses, plus Stock-based compensation expense and Metal price lag (see footnote 3). Arconic’s Segment Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies’ reportable segments.Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the sum of the respective Segment Adjusted EBITDA for each of the Company’s three reportable segments: Rolled Products, Building and Construction Systems, and Extrusions. This amount is being presented for the sole purpose of reconciling Segment Adjusted EBITDA to the Company’s Consolidated net (loss) income.Corporate expenses are composed of general administrative and other expenses of operating the corporate headquarters and other global administrative facilities.Metal price lag represents the financial impact of the timing difference between when aluminum prices included in Sales are recognized and when aluminum purchase prices included in Cost of goods sold are realized. This adjustment aims to remove the effect of the volatility in metal prices and the calculation of this impact considers applicable metal hedging transactions.In the quarter ended December 31, 2021, Arconic completed its annual review of goodwill for impairment for each of its three reporting units: Rolled Products, Building and Construction Systems, and Extrusions. The results of this review indicated that the carrying value of the Extrusions reporting unit’s goodwill was fully impaired. Accordingly, in the quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $65. This impairment was primarily driven by a combination of market-based factors, including delays in aerospace market improvement and significant cost inflation, resulting in increasingly limited margin expansion. The Company had not previously identified any triggering events during 2021 prior to the annual review.In the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, Restructuring and other charges includes $11 and $5, respectively, related to the settlement of a portion of the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan obligations as a result of elections by certain plan participants to receive lump-sum benefit payments. In the quarter ended December 31, 2020, Restructuring and other charges includes a $140 settlement charge related to the annuitization of a portion of the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan obligation and a $25 benefit for contingent consideration received related to the October 2018 sale of the Texarkana (Texas) rolling mill.Other includes certain items that impact Cost of goods sold and Selling, general administrative, and other expenses on the Company’s Statement of Consolidated Operations that are not included in Segment Adjusted EBITDA, including those described as “Other special items” (see footnote 5 to the Reconciliation of Total Company Adjusted EBITDA presented elsewhere in this Appendix).

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 are composed of restructuring and other charges, discrete income tax items, and other items as deemed appropriate by management. There can be no assurances that additional special items will not occur in future periods. 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 Arconic’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.Prior to April 1, 2020, Arconic’s financial statements were prepared on a carve-out basis, as the underlying operations of the Company were previously consolidated as part of Arconic’s former parent company’s financial statements. Accordingly, the Company’s results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 were prepared on such basis. The carve-out financial statements of Arconic are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s consolidated results of operations had it been a standalone company during the referenced period. See the Combined Financial Statements included in each of (i) Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Form 10 Registration Statement (filed on February 7, 2020), (ii) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (filed on March 30, 2020), and (iii) the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 (filed on May 18, 2020), for additional information.  Reconciliation of Total Company Adjusted EBITDA 
 

 In the year ended December 31, 2021, Restructuring and other charges includes $584 related to the settlement of a portion of the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan obligations as a result of the purchase of a group annuity contract ($549-2Q21) and elections by certain plan participants to receive lump-sum benefit payments ($11-4Q21, $5-3Q21, $19-2Q21). In the year ended December 31, 2020, Restructuring and other charges includes a $198 settlement charge related to the annuitizations of a portion of the Company’s U.S. ($140-4Q20) and U.K. ($3-3Q20, $55-2Q20) defined benefit pension plan obligations and a $25 benefit (4Q20) for contingent consideration received related to the October 2018 sale of the Texarkana (Texas) rolling mill.In the quarter ended December 31, 2021, Arconic completed its annual review of goodwill for impairment for each of its three reporting units: Rolled Products, Building and Construction Systems, and Extrusions. The results of this review indicated that the carrying value of the Extrusions reporting unit’s goodwill was fully impaired. Accordingly, in the quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $65. This impairment was primarily driven by a combination of market-based factors, including delays in aerospace market improvement and significant cost inflation, resulting in increasingly limited margin expansion. The Company had not previously identified any triggering events during 2021 prior to the annual review.Metal price lag represents the financial impact of the timing difference between when aluminum prices included in Sales are recognized and when aluminum purchase prices included in Cost of goods sold are realized. This adjustment aims to remove the effect of the volatility in metal prices and the calculation of this impact considers applicable metal hedging transactions.Other special items include the following:• for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, costs related to several legal matters, including Grenfell Tower ($4) and other ($2), costs related to both an equipment fire and packaging restart at the Tennessee rolling mill ($5), and other items ($2);• for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, a partial reversal of a previously established reserve related to the Grasse River environmental remediation matter ($11), costs related to several legal matters ($7), and other items ($3);• for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, a write-down of inventory related to the idling of both the remaining operations at the Chandler (Arizona) extrusions facility and the casthouse operations at the Lafayette (Indiana) extrusions facility ($4) and costs related to several legal matters ($3);• for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, costs related to several legal matters, including Grenfell Tower ($4) and other ($1);• for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, costs related to several legal matters ($5) and other items ($3);• for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, costs related to several legal matters, including Grenfell Tower ($4) and other ($2), a write-down of inventory related to the idling of the casthouse operations at the Chandler (Arizona) extrusions facility ($5), and other items ($2);• for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, costs related to several legal matters, including a customer settlement ($5), Grenfell Tower ($3), and other ($3); and• for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, an allocation of costs incurred by Arconic Corporation’s former parent company associated with the April 1, 2020 separation of Arconic Inc. into two standalone publicly-traded companies.  24  Reconciliation of Total Company Adjusted EBITDA (cont’d)

See Reconciliation of Total Company Adjusted EBITDA presented elsewhere in this Appendix for (i) Arconic’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) management’s rationale for the presentation of this non-GAAP measure, and (iii) a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Arconic’s definition of working capital is Receivables plus Inventories less Accounts payable, trade.In January 2021, the Company contributed a total of $200 to its two funded U.S. defined benefit pension plans, comprised of the estimated minimum required funding for 2021 of $183 and an additional $17. In April 2021, the Company contributed a total of $250 to its two funded U.S. defined benefit pension plans to maintain the funding level of the remaining plan obligations not transferred under a group annuity contract.Arconic’s definition of Free Cash Flow is Cash from operations less capital expenditures. 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, which are both necessary to maintain and expand the Company’s asset base and 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. 4Q 2021: Cash used for operations of $96 less capital expenditures of $61 = free cash flow of $35 3Q 2021: Cash used for operations of $(42) less capital expenditures of $51 = free cash flow of $(93)2Q 2021: Cash used for operations of $(167) less capital expenditures of $44 = free cash flow of $(211) 1Q 2021: Cash used for operations of $(294) less capital expenditures of $28 = free cash flow of $(322)4Q 2020: Cash used for operations of $(12) less capital expenditures of $37 = free cash flow of $(49) 3Q 2020: Cash provided from operations of $240 less capital expenditures of $39 = free cash flow of $2012Q 2020: Cash provided from operations of $38 less capital expenditures of $29 = free cash flow of $9Pension benefits are comprised of contributions to funded defined benefit plans and benefit payments to participants in unfunded defined benefit plans.Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because Adjusted Free Cash Flow provides an incremental view of the Company’s cash performance by excluding payments related to legacy liabilities.
