Arconic Chief Executive Officer Chip Blankenship said, “In the third quarter, Arconic delivered solid organic revenue growth while increasing adjusted free cash flow. Our team remains focused on operational improvements and portfolio refinements; this quarter we made the strategic decision to sell our idled rolling mill in Texarkana, Texas, which provides us with added financial flexibility as we continue to explore opportunities to enhance our portfolio.”
Arconic ended the quarter with cash on hand of $1.5 billion. Cash provided from operations was $51 million and cash used for operations was $57 million, respectively.
Engineered Products and Solutions (EP&S) delivered revenue of $1.6 billion, up 6% YoY. Organic revenue was up 6%, driven by volume growth in aerospace engines and defence. Segment operating profit was $238 million, down $1 million YoY.
Global Rolled Products (GRP) reported revenue of $1.4 billion, up 16% YoY. Organic revenue was up 9%. Segment operating profit was $74 million, up $10 million YoY, driven by higher automotive and industrial volume, partially offset by higher transportation costs and scrap spreads and volume.
Transportation and Construction Solutions (TCS) delivered revenue of $530 million. Organic revenue was up 8%. Segment operating profit was $77 million, up $3 million year over year, as higher volume in commercial transportation and building and construction as well as net cost savings more than offset headwinds from higher aluminium prices.
