(1) 
Per share amounts are calculated independently for each period presented; therefore, the sum of the quarterly per share amounts may not equal the per share amounts for the year.
(2) 
In the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $428 related to its disks business (see Note M).
(3) 
In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company incurred costs associated with the planned Separation of Arconic of $28 ($34 pre-tax), recorded a gain for contingent consideration received related to the 2018 sale of the Texarkana rolling mill of $15 ($20 pre-tax), and recorded several discrete tax items principally related to a benefit for a U.S. tax election which caused the deemed liquidation of a foreign subsidiary’s assets into its U.S. tax parent. In the fourth quarter of 2018, Arconic recorded a gain of $119 ($154 pre-tax) on the sale of the Texarkana rolling mill, offset by pension plan settlement charges of $72 ($92 pre-tax) associated with significant lump sum payments made to participants and a loss of $39 ($43 pre-tax) on the sale of the forging business in Hungary. Additionally, Arconic recorded discrete tax items primarily comprised of a benefit related to certain prior year foreign investment losses no longer recapturable.
