other expenses; and research and development expenses.

Reconciliation of Sales
(a) This amount represents the sales for the month of June 2007 related to Alcoa’s soft alloy extrusions business that was contributed
to the joint venture formed with Orkla ASA’s Sapa Group on June 1, 2007.
(b) Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because in prior quarters the revenue of the soft alloy extrusion
business was included for all three months.  Due to the completion of the joint venture with Sapa effective June 1, 2007, only two
months of sales were included in consolidated revenue.  The adjusted consolidated revenue measure provides an accurate
comparison to past quarters.
