Alcoa is the world leader in the production and management of primary aluminium, fabricated aluminium, and alumna combined, through its active and growing participation in all major aspects of the industry: technology, mining, refining, smelting, fabricating, and recycling.  Aluminum is a commodity that is traded on the London Metal Exchange (LME) and priced daily based on market supply and demand.  Aluminum and alumna represent more than 80% of Alcoa’s revenues, and the price of aluminium influences the operating results of Alcoa.  Nonaluminum products include precision castings and aerospace and industrial fasteners.  Alcoa’s products are used worldwide in aircraft, automobiles, commercial transportation, packaging, building and construction, oil and gas, defense, and industrial applications.

Alcoa is a global company operating in 31 countries. Based upon the country where the point of sale occurred, the United States and Europe generated 50% and 27%, respectively, of Alcoa’s sales in 2010. In addition, Alcoa has investments and operating activities in Australia, Brazil, China, Guinea, Iceland, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, all of which present opportunities for substantial growth. Governmental policies, laws and regulations, and economic factors, including inflation and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, affect the results of operations in these countries.
