businesses of Howmet Aerospace;
?

pandemic health issues (including coronavirus and its effects, among other things, on global supply,

?
· unfavorable changes in the markets served by Howmet Aerospace;
?
· the inability to achieve the level of revenue growth, cash generation, cost savings, improvement in
profitability and margins, fiscal discipline, or strengthening of competitiveness and operations anticipated or
targeted;
?
· competition from new product offerings, disruptive technologies or other developments;
?
· political, economic, and regulatory risks relating to Howmet Aerospace's global operations, including
compliance with U.S. and foreign trade and tax laws, sanctions, embargoes and other regulations;
?
· manufacturing difficulties or other issues that impact product performance, quality or safety;
?
· Howmet Aerospace's inability to realize expected benefits including announced targeted cost savings, in
each case as planned and by targeted completion dates, from acquisitions, divestitures, facility closures,
curtailments, expansions or joint ventures;

documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus. Any
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we assume no obligation to update or
revise such statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Separation
On April 1, 2020, we completed the separation of our business into two independent, publicly traded
companies (the "Separation"). Following the Separation, Arconic Corporation holds the Global Rolled Products
businesses (global rolled products, aluminum extrusions and building and construction systems) previously held by
us. We retained the Engineered Products and Forgings businesses (engine products, fastening systems, engineered
structures and forged wheels).
The Separation was effected by the distribution of all of the outstanding shares of Arconic Corporation
common stock to our stockholders who held shares of our common stock as of the close of business on March 19,
2020 (the "Record Date"). Our stockholders of record as of the Record Date received one share of Arconic
Corporation common stock for every four shares of our common stock held as of the Record Date.
In connection with the Separation, a series of internal reorganization transactions were undertaken to transfer
the necessary assets and liabilities to Arconic Corporation.
Revolving Credit Agreement
On March 4, 2020, we entered into a third amendment (the "Amendment"), dated March 4, 2020, to our Five-
Year Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2014 (as amended and extended by the letter agreement,
dated June 5, 2015, and as further amended pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of
September 16, 2016, and Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2018, the "Existing
Revolving Credit Agreement" and the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, the
"Revolving Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company, a syndicate of lenders and issuers named therein,
Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders and issuers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication
agent and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as documentation agent. The Amendment, which became effective on
April 1, 2020, was entered into (i) to permit the Separation and related distribution of shares and (ii) to amend
certain terms of the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement, including the following changes:

S-1
TABLE OF CONTENTS

· the financial covenant in the Revolving Credit Agreement requires the Company's ratio of Consolidated Net
Debt (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the
Revolving Credit Agreement) to be no greater than 3.50 to 1.00;
?
· the Total Commitment (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) was automatically and permanently
reduced from $3.0 billion to $1.5 billion; and
?
· the Initial Scheduled Maturity Date (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) was changed to
April 1, 2025.
?
Redemption of Existing Notes
On April 6, 2020 (the "Redemption Date"), we completed the redemption (the "Redemption") of all of our
6.150% Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") and a partial redemption of the 2021 Notes (to the extent redeemed and,
together with the 2020 Notes, the "Redeemed Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000 and
$300,000,000, respectively. In accordance with the terms of the applicable Redeemed Notes and the indenture
governing the Redeemed Notes, holders of the 2020 Notes were paid $1,020.15 per $1,000.00 aggregate principal
amount of the 2020 Notes, or an aggregate of $1,020.2 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not
including, the Redemption Date; and holders of the 2021 Notes were paid $1,050.35 per $1,000.00 aggregate

First Quarter 2020 Preliminary Financial Information
Our final unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 are not
yet complete and are not available as of the date of this prospectus supplement. On April 14, 2020, we reported
preliminary unaudited financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 for the Engineered Products and
Forgings Segment (the "EP&F Segment") of Howmet Aerospace, and the Global Rolled Products Segment (the
"GRP Segment"). As described above, upon completion of the Separation, our GRP Segment became Arconic
Corporation.
Presented below is the preliminary unaudited financial information of the EP&F Segment and GRP Segment
for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which remains subject to the completion of management's review and other
procedures. Given the macroeconomic conditions during the quarter, the Company continues to conduct impairment
testing related to the carrying values of certain assets, including goodwill of its reporting units, and the Company
could record a non-cash impairment charge during the quarter and, as a result, report lower operating profits. The
information is preliminary, based upon information available as of April 14, 2020 and is subject to change and
finalization based on completion of all quarter end close processes.
The financial information of the EP&F Segment and GRP Segment presented below, including the preliminary
unaudited financial information, is the information of the EP&F Segment and GRP Segment as reportable segments
of Howmet Aerospace. This financial information was prepared on a different basis than, and may not be directly
comparable to, the pro forma financial information presented under "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
Financial Information" in this prospectus supplement. The preliminary unaudited financial information for the
EP&F Segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 is not necessarily indicative of our future results for any
subsequent periods. You should not place undue reliance on this preliminary unaudited financial information.
The preliminary unaudited financial information below should be read in conjunction with the financial
information presented under "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information" and
"Capitalization," included in this prospectus supplement, along with our historical consolidated financial statements
and related notes and the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations," both of which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10 K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2019, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus. Please also see "Special Note About Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors."

Segments
Our expected revenue for our EP&F Segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is approximately
$1.6 billion, a decrease of approximately 7% year-over-year. Our EP&F Segment's operating profit is expected to
be approximately $340 million, up approximately 9% year-over-year, driven by net cost reductions, lower raw
material costs, and price increases partially offset by volume declines. Our EP&F Segment's operating profit margin
is expected to increase approximately 300 basis points year-over-year to approximately 20.8%.
Our expected revenue for our GRP Segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is approximately $1.6

aluminum price partially offset by volume declines. Our GRP Segment's operating profit margin is expected to
increase approximately 310 basis points year-over-year to approximately 10.7%. As a result of the Separation, the
GRP Segment is now a part of Arconic Corporation and no longer a part of Howmet Aerospace.

COVID-19
Howmet Aerospace derives a significant portion of its revenue from products sold to the aerospace end-
market, including 71% of our EP&F Segment. As a result of COVID-19 and its impact on the aerospace industry
to-date, the possibility exists that there could be a sustained impact to our operations and our financial results. As
previously disclosed, certain original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") customers have suspended manufacturing
operations in North America and Europe on a temporary basis. These suspensions, the duration of which is
uncertain, are impacting operations at certain of our facilities resulting in the temporary closure of a small number
of manufacturing facilities. As a result, the Company is taking

a series of actions to address the financial impact, including announcing certain headcount reductions and reducing
certain cash outflows, suspending our dividend and reducing the levels of our capital expenditures to preserve cash
and maintain liquidity.
Although the Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of COVID-19 on its 2020
outlook, we expect this situation to have an adverse impact on our 2020 financial performance and have withdrawn
the 2020 guidance and assumptions that we provided in February 2020. For additional information regarding the
risks of COVID-19 on our business, see the section entitled "Risk Factors?--?Risks Related to Our Business?--?
Our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows could be materially adversely affected by
the effects of widespread public health epidemics/pandemics, including COVID-19, that are beyond our control."
