APPENDIX

[Alcoa logo]

[Alcoa logo]

In the first quarter of 2008, management approved a realignment of Alcoa's reportable segments to better reflect the core businesses in which Alcoa operates and

how it is managed. This realignment consisted of eliminating the Extruded and End Products segment, and realigning its component businesses as follows: the

building and construction systems business is reported in the Engineered Products and Solutions segment; the hard alloy extrusions business and the Russian

extrusions business are reported in the Flat-Rolled Products segment; and the remaining segment components, consisting primarily of the equity

investment/income of Alcoa's interest in the Sapa AB joint venture, and the Latin American extrusions business, are reported in Corporate. Additionally, the

Russian forgings business was moved from the Engineered Products and Solutions segment to the Flat-Rolled Products segment, where all Russian operations

are now reported. Prior period amounts were reclassified to reflect the new segment structure. Also, the Engineered Solutions segment was renamed the

Engineered Products and Solutions segment.

Days of Working Capital = Working Capital divided by (Adjusted Sales/number of days in the quarter)

Adjusted Sales is a non-GAAP financial measure and is being used to calculate Days of Working Capital to be consistent with the fact that the

working capital components of the above-mentioned divested businesses were classified as held for sale, and, therefore, are not included in the

Working Capital amounts above.

Year 2010 projections of EBITDA are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. As such the most directly comparable GAAP measures

for 2010 (actual net income) are not yet available. However, management believes that the 2010 projections are meaningful to investors

because of the magnitude of the potential earnings contribution. Year 2010 projections are based upon September 2008 year-to-date pricing

and input costs and represent an incremental add to EBITDA with a base year of 2008. Iceland EBITDA is for the Fjarðaál smelter, Brazil

EBITDA is for the Juruti bauxite mine development and São Luís alumina refinery expansion, and Can Sheet EBITDA is for Alcoa’s global can

sheet businesses and assumes the elimination of LME-related pricing caps by the end of 2009 and volume increases of at least 30 percent in

Russia and China. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, contingencies, and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future

performance. Actual results, performance or outcomes may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by these forward looking

statements. See Slide 2 (Forward Looking Statements) for additional information.

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.
