For Alcoa, 2010 was a year of great opportunity and promise for the future. We were able to seize that opportunity because we were well prepared. Our preparations began in early 2008, when we developed Three Strategic Priorities to guide Alcoa for the future: Profi table Growth, the Alcoa Advantage and Disciplined Execution. To achieve Profi table Growth, we restructured our cost base and reshaped our portfolio to focus on businesses that were number one or two in their markets. The Alcoa Advantage highlighted fi ve corporate levers that provide distinctive competitive advantages to our businesses: talent, technology, customers, procurement and operating system. Disciplined Execution focused on using those advantages to create a high performance culture across Alcoa. Little did we know that in a few months a sharp drop in the price of aluminum and widespread destruction of demand from our customers would test our strategic priorities. The successes of 2010, which put Alcoa on the road to profi table growth, are due to the application of those three priorities. Preparation met opportunity. We used the circumstances of the global fi nancial crisis to strengthen our cost structure and cash position. Building on the concept that “necessity is the mother of invention,” in early 2009 we put in place a Cash Sustainability Program to reverse the cash drain caused by the sharp drop in the London Metal Exchange aluminum price and demand destruction in many of our end markets. Thanks to our disciplined execution of that program during the crisis, Alcoa returned to cash-neutral by the end of 2009, and ended 2010 with strong cash fl ow. The Cash Sustainability Program has proven to be far more than a one-time, “quick fi x” for a challenging time. Rather, it has instilled a Company-wide discipline in cash and cost management that will ensure Alcoa’s long-term viability and success. It drew heavily on our Strategic Priorities. • We tapped into the Procurement Advantage in a major way. We committed to $1.5 billion in savings in 2009, and to $2.0 billion in savings in 2010. Through the team effort of many Alcoans, we achieved the $2.0 billion target by the end of 2009. Not satisfi ed with simply continuing this performance, we increased the 2010 target to Exceeded All Cash Sustainability Targets $2.5 billion, and we handily beat that number in spite of signifi cant headwinds coming from material 2010 Cash Sustainability Operational Targets and Actual Performance cost increases and currency exchange rates.

We achieved both of these targets. • We achieved a total reduction of 13 days 2010 2010 2010 2010 2010 2010 2010 2010 Actual Target Actual Target Actual Target Actual Target working capital over the last two years, which is 1Procurement and other productivity 2Total Capex includes investments in Ma’aden project approximately a 30% reduction.

This is our best result since 2003. • Net income improved from $(1.15 billion) in 2009 to $254 million in 2010. • With adjusted EBITDA of $2.7 billion, a 653% improvement from 2009, our adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.9%, 11 points better than 2009. • We strengthened the balance sheet by reducing our debt by $654 million, and extended our debt maturity. • Our debt to capital ratio dropped to 34.9% – 380 basis points lower than 2009 and back in our target range. • Thanks to our fi nancial and operational initiatives, Alcoa maintained investment grade status through the downturn. We know that savings like these must be sustainable over the long-term. Certainly, there will be challenges along the way, from currency exchange rates to the high cost of energy in some regions – both issues that we continue to manage. Yet, with the systemic changes we have put in place, we are well-positioned in 2011 to maximize profi table growth and shareholder value as our end markets begin to mend and aluminum demand increases across most regions.
