IN COMPANY HISTORY

Highlights:

• Second quarter 2006 income from continuing operations of $752 million, or $0.86 per share.

• Results include negative impact of previously announced charges of $0.04 per share for labor contract and strike preparation.

• Quarterly revenues of nearly $8 billion.

• First-half 2006 net income of $1.35 billion was higher than full-year results for every year in Company’s history except fiscal 2000.

• Record ATOI in Alumina and Primary Metals, up 15 and 10 percent, sequentially.

• Engineered Solutions ATOI a record $100 million, up 64 percent from year ago quarter, and Flat Rolled Products ATOI up 20% sequentially.

• Annualized ROC year-to-date stood at 15.4 percent.

• Debt-to-capital ratio down slightly to 32.0 percent, within target range while making strategic investments in growth.

NEW YORK, NY – July 10, 2006 – Alcoa (NYSE: AA) today announced second quarter 2006 income from continuing operations of $752 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, the highest quarterly profit in the company’s more than 115-year history.

Income from continuing operations of $752 million, or $0.86, was 52 percent better than the $496 million, or $0.56, in the second quarter of 2005, and 22 percent higher than the $615 million, or $0.70, in the previous quarter.

Net income for the quarter was a record $744 million, or $0.85, 62 percent higher than the $460 million, or $0.52, in the second quarter of 2005, and 22 percent higher than the $608 million, or $0.69, in the previous quarter.

Included in the second quarter results are previously announced after-tax charges of $35 million, or $0.04 per share, associated with ratification of a U.S. labor contract and costs to prepare for a potential work stoppage.

For the first half of 2006, income from continuing operations was $1.37 billion, up 79 percent from last year’s $764 million first-half results. First half 2006 net income of $1.35 billion was higher than the full-year results of all but one year in the company’s history.

Revenues for the quarter increased 10 percent sequentially to $7.96 billion, the highest quarterly sales in the company’s history, as each of the company’s six global business segments achieved higher volumes. Results were driven by higher LME prices and strong market demand in the aerospace, building and construction, commercial vehicle and can sheet markets. Compared to the year-ago quarter, sales have grown 19 percent.

“Alcoans have generated another record quarter – delivering today while we continue building for the future,” said Alain Belda, Alcoa Chairman and CEO. “By creating solutions for our customers and continuously improving productivity, we have driven record top and bottom line performances.

“We are consistently delivering returns well in excess of the cost of capital, generating cash to fund strategic growth projects, and keeping our balance sheet strong,” added Belda.

Balance Sheet and Growth Projects

In the quarter, capital expenditures were $729 million, 64 percent of which was devoted to growth projects designed to capture opportunities in global aluminum consumption, which is expected to double by 2020. Year to date, the company’s capital expenditures stand at $1.32 billion, primarily dedicated to growth projects such as the 341,000 mtpy Alcoa Fjardaal smelter in Iceland, the Mosjoen anode plant in Norway, and the Pinjarra alumina refinery upgrade in Australia.

Cash from operations for the quarter was $699 million, a $912 million improvement from the previous quarter, and $315 million better than the second quarter of 2005.

Days of working capital improved three days in the quarter compared to the second quarter of last year. Working capital dollars increased from the previous quarter due to the building of strategic inventories in the event of a work stoppage, higher prices, and continued strong markets. The debt-to-capital ratio declined slightly to 32.0 percent at the end of the quarter, within the Company’s target range and while continuing capital investments in strategic growth projects around the world.

During the quarter, Alcoa took several additional strides in its strategic growth program, including: the acquisition of a 70% stake in a brazing sheet facility in Kunshan, China to serve the automotive market; the signing of an MOU with Vinacomin for a possible bauxite and alumina refinery joint venture in the Dak Nong Province of Vietnam; the opening of the Company’s first plant in Bulgaria to produce consumer packaging products; and a sales operation in South Africa to serve the aluminum wheels market. During the quarter, the Company also announced its plan to divest its Home Exteriors business to free up resources to invest in strategic growth opportunities.

The Company’s year-to-date annualized return on capital (ROC) stood at 15.4 percent.

Innovation/New Products and Sustainability

Alcoa continued its leadership position in applying technologies to generate innovation on behalf of customers and the company. Examples this quarter included: an agreement with Nike to supply aluminum for two new lines of baseball bats globally; the introduction of Reynobond with Kevlar, a new hurricane-resistant architectural panel system; and a new natural media filtration system as a low-cost environmental control solution that saves the company millions.

During the quarter, Alcoa continued its leadership position in sustainability. The company was recognized for its stewardship of rivers by the U.S. Hydropower organization; and donated 20 Million ISK (US$280,000) to help create national parks in Iceland, including Europe’s largest conservation area. The Alcoa Foundation invested in an innovative land conservation program in the Palos Verdes peninsula. And the Company launched a new sustainability report and website detailing the company’s commitment to sustainable development.

Segment and Other Results

Alumina — After-tax operating income (“ATOI”) was $278 million, up 15% over the previous quarter. Higher pricing was partially offset by the effect of a weaker dollar. Additionally, alumina production for the quarter was a record 3,746 thousand metric tons (kmt), up by 44kmt from the previous quarter.

Primary Metals – Segment ATOI was $489 million, up 10% over the prior quarter. The ATOI increase was driven by higher LME prices and premiums, partially offset by higher energy, a weaker dollar, and strike preparation costs. Third party realized metal prices increased $194 per ton, or 8%, to $2,728 per ton. Primary metal production for the quarter increased 15 kmt to 882 kmt, due to the completion of the Alumar, Brazil expansion and partial return to service in Portland, Australia. The Company purchased roughly 145 kmt of primary metal for internal use as part of its strategy to sell value-added products.

Flat Rolled Products – ATOI for the segment was $79 million, up 20% over the prior quarter. Higher volumes in can sheet, aerospace, commercial transportation and common alloy distribution, coupled with lower natural gas prices, more than offset strike preparation and related costs.

Engineered Solutions — Segment ATOI rose $17 million to an all-time high of $100 million, 64% above the prior year quarter and 20% higher than the record performance delivered in the sequential quarter. Strong demand in the aerospace, commercial vehicle, and industrial markets, continued productivity gains and price increases led to the improved results.

Packaging and Consumer — Segment ATOI was $37 million, an increase of $29 million over the previous quarter. Higher volume due to seasonal strength, improved pricing, and productivity gains led to the improved results.

Extruded and End Products — ATOI improved $20 million from the prior quarter and all businesses achieved higher revenues including the soft alloy business which saw increased demand in Europe and productivity advances. Global building and construction and hard alloy extrusion businesses continued their strong performance and also improved profitability.

Alcoa will hold its quarterly conference call at 5:00 PM Eastern Time on July 10th to present the quarter’s results. The meeting will be webcast via alcoa.com. Call information and related details are available at www.alcoa.com under “Invest.”

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.

(1) The Bloomberg Methodology calculates ROC based on trailing four quarters. Average balances are calculated as (June 2005 ending balance + June 2006 ending balance) divided by 2.

(2) The Annualized Methodology numerator amounts are calculated using the first six months of 2006 balances and multiplying by 2. Average balances are calculated as (June 2006 ending balance + December 2005 ending balance) divided by 2.

(3) Calculated as total shareholders’ equity, less preferred stock.
