 (1)    In the first quarter of 2015, management decided to reflect the net periodic benefit cost related to Alcoa-sponsored defined benefit pension plans as a separate line item 
        in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. In prior periods, a portion of this amount was reported in both the (Increase) in noncurrent assets (overfunded plans) and   
        the (Decrease) in noncurrent liabilities (underfunded plans) line items. As a result, the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 was   
        revised to conform to the current period presentation.                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                                                                  
 (2)    The (Increase) in noncurrent assets line item for the year ended December 31, 2015 includes a $300 prepayment related to a natural gas supply agreement for three alumina 
        refineries in Western Australia, which are owned by Alcoa`s majority-owned subsidiary, Alcoa of Australia Limited.                                                        
                                                                                                                                                                                  
 (3)    In the first quarter of 2014, holders of $575 principal amount of Alcoa`s 5.25% Convertible Notes due March 15, 2014 (the "Notes") exercised their option to convert the  
        Notes into 89 million shares of Alcoa common stock. This transaction was not reflected in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 as 
        it represents a noncash financing activity.                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                                  
 (4)    In the fourth quarter of 2014, Alcoa paid $2,995 (net of cash acquired) to acquire Firth Rixson. A portion of this consideration was paid through the issuance of 37      
        million shares in Alcoa common stock valued at $610. The issuance of common stock was not reflected in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the year ended        
        December 31, 2014 as it represents a noncash investing activity.                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                                                                  
        In the third quarter of 2015, Alcoa issued 87 million shares of its common stock valued at $870 to acquire RTI International Metals. The issuance of common stock was not 
        reflected in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2015 as it represents a noncash investing activity. However, through this           
        acquisition, Alcoa acquired $302 in cash, which was reflected as a cash inflow in the Acquisitions, net of cash acquired line item on the Statement of Consolidated Cash  
        Flows for the year ended December 31, 2015.                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                                  
 (5)    Proceeds from the sale of assets and businesses for the year ended December 31, 2015 includes a cash outflow for cash paid as a result of post-closing adjustments        
        associated with the December 2014 divestiture of three rolling mills in Spain and France.

 The difference between certain segment totals and consolidated amounts is in Corporate.                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                                                                  
 (1)    Effective in the second quarter of 2015, management removed the impact of metal price lag from the results of the Global Rolled Products and Engineered Products and      
        Solutions (now Engineered Products and Solutions and Transportation and Construction Solutions - see footnote 2 below) segments in order to enhance the visibility of the 
        underlying operating performance of these businesses. Metal price lag describes the timing difference created when the average price of metal sold differs from the       
        average cost of the metal when purchased by the respective segment. The impact of metal price lag is now reported as a separate line item in Alcoa`s reconciliation of    
        total segment ATOI to consolidated net income (loss) attributable to Alcoa. As a result, this change does not impact the consolidated results of Alcoa. Segment           
        information for all prior periods presented was updated to reflect this change.                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                                                                  
 (2)    In the third quarter of 2015, management approved a realignment of Alcoa`s Engineered Products and Solutions segment due to the expansion of this part of Alcoa`s business 
        portfolio through both organic and inorganic growth. This realignment consisted of moving both the Alcoa Wheel and Transportation Products and Building and Construction  
        Systems business units to a new reportable segment named Transportation and Construction Solutions. Additionally, the Latin American soft alloy extrusions business       
        previously included in Corporate was moved into the new Transportation and Construction Solutions segment. The remaining Engineered Products and Solutions segment        
        consists of the Alcoa Fastening Systems and Rings (renamed to include portions of the Firth Rixson business acquired in November 2014), Alcoa Power and Propulsion        
        (includes the TITAL business acquired in March 2015), Alcoa Forgings and Extrusions (includes the other portions of Firth Rixson), and Alcoa Titanium and Engineered      
        Products (a new business unit that represents the RTI International Metals business acquired in July 2015) business units. Segment information for all prior periods      
        presented was updated to reflect the new segment structure.

 Net income (loss) attributable to Alcoa - as adjusted is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of Alcoa excluding the impacts of restructuring and other charges, discrete tax items, and other special items (collectively, "special items"). 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 Net income (loss) attributable to Alcoa determined under GAAP as well as Net income attributable to Alcoa - as adjusted.

 (3)    The average number of shares applicable to diluted EPS for Net income (loss) attributable to Alcoa common shareholders excludes certain share equivalents as their effect 
        was anti-dilutive (see footnote 3 to the Statement of Consolidated Operations). However, certain of these share equivalents may become dilutive in the EPS calculation    
        applicable to Net income attributable to Alcoa common shareholders - as adjusted due to a larger and/or positive numerator. Specifically:                                 
 •      for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, share equivalents associated with outstanding employee stock options and awards were dilutive based on Net income attributable to 
        Alcoa common shareholders - as adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number of shares of 1,324,378,133;                                                                
 •      for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, no additional share equivalents were dilutive based on Net income attributable to Alcoa common shareholders - as adjusted,      
        resulting in a diluted average number of shares of 1,294,392,945;                                                                                                         
 •      for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, share equivalents associated with mandatory convertible preferred stock were dilutive based on Net income attributable to Alcoa  
        common shareholders - as adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number of shares of 1,294,701,805 (the subtraction of preferred stock dividends declared from the       
        numerator (see footnote 1 to the Statement of Consolidated Operations) needs to be reversed since the related mandatory convertible preferred stock was dilutive);        
 •      for the year ended December 31, 2015, share equivalents associated with both outstanding employee stock options and awards and convertible notes related to the           
        acquisition of RTI International Metals were dilutive based on Net income attributable to Alcoa common shareholders - as adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number  
        of shares of 1,288,633,988 (after-tax interest expense of $8 needs to be added back to the numerator since the convertible notes were dilutive); and                      
 •      for the year ended December 31, 2014, share equivalents associated with both Alcoa`s 5.25% convertible notes and mandatory convertible preferred stock were dilutive based 
        on Net income attributable to Alcoa common shareholders - as adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number of shares of 1,217,720,724 (after-tax interest expense of $6 
        needs to be added back to the numerator since the convertible notes were dilutive and the subtraction of $19 of the preferred stock dividends declared from the numerator 
        (see footnote 1 to the Statement of Consolidated Operations) needs to be reversed since the related mandatory convertible preferred stock was dilutive).

 Alcoa`s definition of Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful 
 to investors because Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to Alcoa`s operating performance and the Company`s ability to meet its financial obligations. The Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

 Alcoa`s definition of Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation, depletion, and amortization. The Other line in the table above includes gains/losses on asset sales and other nonoperating items. 
 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to Alcoa`s operating performance and the Company`s ability to meet its financial obligations. The Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
