PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Howmet Aerospace (NYSE:HWM) today reported second quarter 2021 results. The Company reported second quarter revenues of $1.2 billion, down only 5% year over year due to disruptions in the commercial aerospace market, primarily driven by COVID-19 and Boeing 787 production declines, partially offset by growth in the commercial transportation and industrial markets. Howmet Aerospace reported income from continuing operations of $74 million, or $0.17 per share, in the second quarter 2021 versus loss from continuing operations of $84 million, or $0.19 per share, in the second quarter 2020. Income from continuing operations excluding special items was $96 million, or $0.22 per share, in the second quarter 2021, versus $55 million, or $0.12 per share, in the second quarter 2020. Income from continuing operations in the second quarter 2021 included a $22 million charge from special items, principally related to debt redemption and other financing costs. Second quarter 2021 operating income was $207 million, up 180% year over year. Operating income excluding special items was $205 million, up 14% year over year. The year-over-year increase was due to growth in the commercial transportation and industrial markets, variable and fixed cost reductions, and favorable product pricing, partially offset by disruptions in the commercial aerospace market, driven by COVID-19 and Boeing 787 production declines. Operating income margin, excluding special items, was up approximately 280 basis points year over year to 17.2%. Howmet Aerospace Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer John Plant said, “Howmet Aerospace delivered another solid quarter of results despite the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the commercial aerospace market, supported by strong demand in commercial transportation and industrial markets. While second quarter revenues declined 5% year over year, driven by a 31% reduction in commercial aerospace revenues, profit and margins exceeded guidance and included strong cash generation. Second quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.8% was similar to first quarter 2021’s 22.7%, despite absorbing ramp-up costs in preparation for anticipated commercial aerospace volume increases beginning in the second half 2021.” Mr. Plant continued, “We continue to expect the commercial aerospace recovery to begin in the second half 2021, led by Engine Products, followed by Engineered Structures, with Fastening Systems lagging by approximately six months. The commercial transportation market remains strong, supporting Forged Wheels; however, customer supply chain constraints are expected to curb growth in the near term. As we look to the rest of 2021 and beyond, we are well positioned to emerge from the pandemic in a stronger, more profitable position.” “Our liquidity position remains strong as a result of our strict and disciplined approach to costs and spending. We ended the second quarter with approximately $716 million of cash after redeeming approximately $476 million of debt and repurchasing $200 million of common stock with cash on hand. Our $1 billion revolving credit facility remains undrawn and our next debt maturity is not until October 2024.” On April 1, 2020, Arconic Inc. completed the separation of its business into two independent, publicly-traded companies: Howmet Aerospace Inc. (the new name for Arconic Inc.) and Arconic Corporation. The financial results of Arconic Corporation for all periods prior to April 1, 2020 have been retrospectively reflected in the Statement of Consolidated Operations as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods prior to April 1, 2020. Additionally, the assets and liabilities associated with Arconic Corporation prior to the separation are classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations. The cash flows, comprehensive income, and equity related to Arconic Corporation have not been segregated and are included in Howmet Aerospace’s financial statements for all periods prior to April 1, 2020. Second Quarter 2021 Segment Performance Engine Products Engine Products reported revenue of $544 million, a decrease of 7% year over year due to declines in the commercial aerospace market driven by COVID-19 and Boeing 787 production declines, partly offset by growth in the industrial gas turbine market. Segment operating profit was $100 million, down 5% year over year, driven by volume declines in the commercial aerospace market, partially offset by variable and fixed cost reductions and favorable sales volumes in the industrial gas turbine market. The segment added approximately 300 headcount in the quarter in anticipation of revenue increases in the second half of the year. Segment operating profit margin increased approximately 50 basis points year over year to 18.4%. Fastening Systems Fastening Systems reported revenue of $262 million, a decrease of 20% year over year due to declines in the commercial aerospace market, primarily driven by COVID-19 and Boeing 787 production declines, partly offset by growth in the commercial transportation and industrial markets. Segment operating profit was $50 million, down 29% year over year, driven by volume declines in the commercial aerospace market, partially offset by variable and fixed cost reductions and favorable sales volumes in the commercial transportation and industrial markets. Segment operating profit margin decreased approximately 240 basis points year over year to 19.1%. Engineered Structures Engineered Structures reported revenue of $160 million, a decrease of 30% year over year due to declines in the commercial aerospace market, driven by COVID-19 and Boeing 787 production declines.

Forged Wheels Forged Wheels reported revenue of $229 million, an increase of 103% year over year due to strength in the commercial transportation market. Segment operating profit was $61 million, up 917% year over year, driven by volume increases, fixed cost reductions, and maximizing production in low-cost countries. Segment operating profit margin increased approximately 2,130 basis points year over year to 26.6%. 2021 Guidance* 3Q 2021 Guidance FY 2021 Guidance Low Outlook High Low Outlook High Revenue $1.28B $1.30B $1.32B $5.05B $5.10B $5.15B Adj.

Free Cash Flow $415M $450M $485M 1) Excluding Special Items * Howmet Aerospace has not provided reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings per share or earnings per share excluding special items, and adjusted free cash flow, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. 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 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. Howmet Aerospace believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. Completed Early Redemption of All Outstanding 5.87% Notes due 2022 with Cash on Hand On May 3, 2021 Howmet Aerospace redeemed all $476 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5.87% Notes due 2022 at an aggregate redemption price of approximately $500 million. As a result, interest costs to the Company will be reduced in 2021 by approximately $19 million and approximately $28 million on an annual basis. Including the January 15, 2021 early redemption of all $361 million aggregate principal amounts of its 5.40% Notes due 2021, these two transactions will reduce the Company’s interest expense by approximately $47 million on an annual basis. The Company’s next debt maturity is in October 2024. Share Repurchase of $200 Million Completed The accelerated share repurchase agreement announced on May 11, 2021 was completed on June 18, 2021. Howmet Aerospace received approximately 4.9 million shares on May 11, 2021 and an additional approximately 1 million shares on June 21, 2021. Approximately $77 million remains authorized by the Board of Directors for share repurchases. Board of Directors Reinstates Common Stock Dividend of $0.02 Per Share On July 19, 2021 the Board of Directors reinstated a quarterly dividend on the Company’s common stock, declaring a dividend of $0.02 per share. The dividend is to be paid on August 25, 2021, to the holders of record of the common stock at the close of business on August 6, 2021. Future dividends are subject to the discretion and final approval of the Board of Directors after the Board’s consideration of all factors it deems relevant and subject to applicable law and contractual considerations.

Restructuring and other charges for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 included severance costs, pension curtailments and other exit costs. (2) In order to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per share, preferred stock dividends declared of $1 for the quarters ended June 30, 2021, March 31, 2021, and June 30, 2020 need to be subtracted from Net income (loss). (3) For the quarters presented, the difference between the diluted average number of shares and the basic average number of shares related to share equivalents associated with outstanding employee stock options and awards. (4) Basic and diluted average number of shares and common stock outstanding at the end of the period for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 do not reflect the full impact of the share repurchases made at different times during the second quarter of 2021. (5) Per share amounts are calculated independently for Continuing and Discontinued operations, therefore, the sum of the amounts may not equal the total Net Income (loss) per share.

Separation Transaction”) occurred on April 1, 2020. The cash flows related to Arconic Corporation have not been segregated and are included in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the first quarter of 2020. (1) As previously disclosed, during the third quarter of 2020, the Company identified a misclassification in the presentation of changes in accounts payable and capital expenditures in its previously issued Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Although management has determined that such misclassification was not material, the Company revised the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020, resulting in an $83 increase to previously reported capital expenditures and decrease to cash provided from investing activities with a corresponding reduction (decrease) in accounts payable, trade and increase in cash provided by (used for) operations. (2) The proceeds from financing activities primarily related to long-term debt issuance of $1,200 in the first quarter of 2020 which went with Arconic Corporation at separation and long-term debt issuance of $1,200 in the second quarter of 2020. (3) The use of cash from financing activities in 2021 was related to the repayment of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 5.870% Notes due 2022 of approximately $476 and the 5.400% Notes due 2021 of approximately $361.

There can be no assurances that additional Special items will not occur in future periods. To compensate for this limitation, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both Income from continuing operations determined under GAAP as well as Total segment operating profit. Differences between the total segment and consolidated totals are in Corporate. (1) For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, Corporate expense included $4 of costs associated with the Arconic Inc.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, Corporate expense included $3 of costs associated with the Arconic Inc.

Adjusted 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 the Company's asset base and are expected to generate future cash flows from operations), as well as cash receipts from net sales of beneficial interest in sold receivables. It is important to note that Adjusted 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.
