    --  Every segment showed improved profitability over 2002

Alcoa (NYSE:AA) today reported fourth quarter income from continuing operations
of $340 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, up 21 percent from the previous
quarter's $282 million, $0.33 per share. The results were a substantial
improvement over the loss from continuing operations of $146 million, $0.17 per
share, in the fourth quarter of last year.

Net income in the fourth quarter was $291 million, up 4 percent from $280
million in the third quarter of 2003, and significantly improved from a loss of
$223 million in the fourth quarter of 2002.

The difference between net income and income from continuing operations in the
fourth quarter of 2003 is due primarily to an adjustment to the anticipated
proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations. Both measures are recognized
by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

For the full year, income from continuing operations was $1.034 billion, $1.20
per diluted share, the highest in three years. Net income was $938 million,
$1.08 per diluted share, a 123 percent improvement over 2002.

"Over the year, we improved productivity, managed capital, and worked every
lever in our control to offset cost increases for raw materials, energy,
benefits, and the impact of a weakened dollar," said Alain Belda, Chairman and
CEO of Alcoa. "The result was consistently improving profitability, a
considerably stronger balance sheet, and a company that is well positioned for
future growth as world markets continue to strengthen. That is what we promised
last year, and our team delivered."

Market Overview

For the full year, revenues increased 6 percent to $21.5 billion after
integration of newly acquired packaging and fastener businesses. "As global
demand for alumina and aluminum continues to increase, we expect to realize the
benefits of the improved market," said Belda.

In the fourth quarter of 2003, sales were $5.5 billion, increasing 9 percent
over 2002 and 4 percent over the third quarter. Sequentially, strong alumina
shipments and higher aluminum prices overcame slightly lower volumes in markets
that typically experience weakness in the fourth quarter: closures, can sheet,
and building and construction.

Solid Improvement of the Balance Sheet

"Aggressive capital controls, management of working capital, and the initial
benefits of a well-designed divestiture plan helped us retire more than $1.2
billion in debt over the year," said Belda. The company cut its debt-to-capital
ratio in 2003 from 43.1 to 35.1 percent, an improvement of 370 basis points from
the third quarter. In 2003, capital expenditures were $867 million, 32 percent
below last year's level of $1.27 billion.

The balance sheet will improve further in the first half of 2004 as the
divestiture program outlined last January is completed. To date, the company has
shed its Latin American PET business and an equity interest in Latasa, a South
American can producer. In the first quarter, the company expects to close on the
sale of its specialty chemicals, automotive fasteners, and packaging equipment
businesses. The total proceeds of the divestiture program should be in line with
the company's earlier estimates -- $750 million to $1 billion.

In addition, a strong return of 19.75 percent on the company's pension
investments essentially offset the impact of a 50 basis point decline in
discount rates. As a result, the company did not record a material charge for
minimum pension liability to its balance sheet in 2003.

Cost Savings and Management Actions

In the fourth quarter, the company surpassed its three-year $1 billion cost
savings goal, marking the second time in six years that the company has achieved
more than $1 billion in sustainable savings. That intense focus on profitability
was critical as the company faced considerably higher costs for energy, raw
materials, and benefits, as well as the impact of a weaker dollar on
manufacturing operations outside the U.S. this year.

In the fourth quarter alone, those costs increased by more than $150 million
before tax over the last quarter of 2002. Management actions that offset the
higher costs included:

    --  Drove $12 million of new cost savings in the fourth quarter;

    --  Reduced the company's fourth-quarter effective tax rate to 21 percent by
        recognizing benefits from foreign net operating losses, offsetting
        higher taxes from the Latasa sale;

    --  Recognizing $105 million in pre-tax gains from insurance settlements of
        a series of historical environmental matters in the U.S.; and

    --  Achieved higher gross margins of 20.3 percent in 2003, up from 19.8 in
        2002.

Together with higher metal prices, these management actions more than
compensated for higher costs in the quarter.

The company will announce a new set of long-term cost challenges at the 4th
quarter analyst workshop on January 22, 2004.

Positioning the Company for Future Growth

Despite tight capital restraint, Alcoa continued to make long-term investments
to improve its world-class position in alumina refining and smelting, and expand
other high-growth businesses. Through Alcoa World Alumina and Chemicals (AWAC),
Alcoa's global alliance with Alumina Ltd., the company moved forward this year
on its plan to add 1.1 million metric tons of annual capacity at its alumina
refineries in Jamaica, Suriname, and Western Australia.

Final approvals were granted for the company's new aluminum smelter in Iceland,
and the company signed an MOU for a stake in the low-cost Alba facility in
Bahrain. The company scaled back higher-cost production at its smelters in
Massena and Intalco, where higher energy costs had made the plants less
competitive.

Providing Solutions to Customers

Through disciplined deployment of the Alcoa Business System, Alcoa intensified
its focus on its customers in 2003. The company's Market Sector Lead Teams
developed a more coordinated approach to customers in all of Alcoa's major
markets. As a result, Alcoa was awarded significant new aerospace contracts,
working with Airbus toward launch of its landmark new A380; and continued its
expansion of new products such as Dura-Bright(R) wheels for the commercial
transportation market, new customized siding for the home construction market,
and Reynolds Wrap(R) Release(R) non-stick foil for the consumer.

In the automotive market, Alcoa collaborated with GM on its Cadillac 16 concept
car, with Ford on its new F-150 truck and Jaguar XJ, with Toyota on a
lightweight engine cradle for the Lexus RX330, with Ferrari on the 612
Scaglietti, and with Audi on its second-generation A8 sedan. The company also
announced plans to create a single automotive customer center in Detroit.

In the fourth quarter, Alcoa's AFL Automotive group announced that it is working
with Pacific Insights on a new contract to design and supply a hi-tech component
for new PACCAR and Peterbilt trucks. Alcoa Closure Systems International (CSI)
business developed a new closure for the dairy market that is easy to open and
offers improved tamper-proof capability.

(1) Alcoa believes that income from continuing operations excluding
charges for restructurings and divestitures and goodwill impairment is
a measure that should be presented in addition to income from
continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP. The
following matters should be considered when evaluating this non-GAAP
financial measure:

    --  Alcoa reviews the operating results of its businesses
        excluding the impacts of restructurings and divestitures and
        goodwill impairment. Excluding the impacts of these charges
        can provide an additional basis of comparison. Management
        believes that these charges are unusual in nature, and would
        not be indicative of ongoing operating results. As a result,
        management believes these charges should be considered in
        order to compare past, current, and future periods.
    --  The economic impacts of the restructuring and divestiture
        charges are described in the footnotes to Alcoa's financial
        statements. Generally speaking, charges associated with
        restructurings include cash and non-cash charges and are the
        result of employee layoff, plant consolidation of assets, or
        plant closure costs. These actions are taken in order to
        achieve a lower cost base for future operating results.
    --  Charges associated with divestitures principally represent
        adjustments to the carrying value of certain assets and
        liabilities and do not typically require a cash payment. These
        actions are taken primarily for strategic reasons as the
        company has decided not to participate in this portion of the
        portfolio of businesses.
    --  Alcoa's growth over the last five years, and the onset of the
        manufacturing recession led to the aforementioned charges in
        2001 and 2002. Before the start of the recent manufacturing
        recession, Alcoa last recorded charges associated with
        restructuring and divestitures in 1997.
    --  Restructuring and divestiture charges are typically material
        and are considered to be outside the normal operations of a
        business. Corporate management is responsible for making
        decisions about restructurings and divestitures.
    --  There can be no assurance that additional restructurings and
        divestitures and goodwill impairment will not occur in future
        periods. To compensate for this limitation, management
        believes that it is appropriate to consider both income from
        continuing operations determined under GAAP as well as income
        from continuing operations excluding restructuring and
        divestiture charges and goodwill impairment.

(2) Special items totaled $26 of income for the fourth quarter and
full year of 2003 before taxes and minority interests. The amount
principally represents net gains from assets held for sale including
the reversal of previously established reserves for businesses that
Alcoa decided to retain, and a realized gain on the sale of a
business, partially offset by adjustments to estimated proceeds for
ongoing sale activities. After taxes and minority interests, special
items amounted to income of $25 in the fourth quarter and full year of
2003.
