Aluminum giant Alcoa Inc. (AA) announced that it has agreed to form a joint venture with Russias VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation, a leading maker of titanium ingots and forged products. Both Alcoa and VSMPO-AVISMA signed a cooperation agreement in Moscow to develop high end titanium and aluminum products for the aerospace industry.
The joint venture is expected to be operational in 2016 and once formed, will combine Alcoas expertise in manufacturing value-added products which utilize VSMPO-AVISMAs expertise in the production of titanium. Finished product manufactures will include high-end aerospace goods such as landing gear and forged wing components at Alcoas Samara plant.
Through the agreement, Alcoa will be able to increase its competitiveness and position its global aerospace business for continued profitable growth. VSMPO-AVISMA, on the other hand, will get access to unique forging equipment, enabling it to increase output and maintain consistent supply. The company can thereby increase its productivity and presence in the market.
Alcoa estimates that the aerospace market would grow 9%-10% in 2013 and with this joint venture in place both can work on their respective strengths in making the largest and most advanced aerospace forgings in the world.
A few days ago, Alcoa released its third quarter results. The company posted a profit of $24 million or 2 cents per share in the quarter compared with a loss of $143 million or 13 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. The results include restructuring and other one-time charges/gains of $96 million.
Excluding one-time special items, earnings were $120 million or 11 cents a share in the quarter, much ahead of the year-ago earnings of $76 million or 7 cents per share and Zacks Consensus Estimate of 6 cents. Productivity gains, strong demand from auto makers, healthy operating performance and cost cutting supported the results despite lower metal prices.
Revenues dropped roughly 1.2% to $5,765 million from $5,833 million in the year-ago quarter but exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5,713 million. The decline was due to weak aluminum prices, offset by strong demand in the aerospace and automotive end markets. Alcoa reiterated its global aluminum demand growth expectation of 7% for 2013.
Alcoa, a prominent player in the mining industry along with Aluminum Corporation of China Ltd. (ACH), Atlatsa Resources Corp. (ATL) and BHP Billiton Ltd (BHP), is a world leader in production and management of primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum, and alumina. The company is also the worlds largest miner of bauxite and refiner of alumina.
Alcoa currently retains a short-term Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. aluminium company Alcoa Inc (NYS:AA) has formed a joint venture with Russia's VSMPO-Avisma Corp (MCX:VSMO), the world's No. 1 titanium producer, to develop high-end aerospace products to feed growing demand from the sector, Alcoa said on Tuesday.
The two firms will collaborate on manufacturing high-specification products, such as landing gear and forged wing components, at Alcoa's Samara facility in Russia, where it makes flat-rolled products, forgings and hard alloy extrusions.
Few other details were available, although a statement said the new venture is expected to be operational in 2016.
The news comes as Alcoa shifts its focus downstream to value-added aluminium products, aimed at the aerospace and automotive sectors, as it cuts its exposure to weak primary metal prices.
In the Samara venture, VSMPO will increase output and gain access to forging equipment, marking the company's continued shift towards value-added products, general director Mikhail Voevodin said in the statement.
Alcoa has previously projected the aerospace market will grow by 9 percent to 10 percent this year. While the outlook for aerospace industry growth is encouraging, the race to produce high-strength, lightweight and low-cost materials in planes has accelerated and the global aluminium industry is facing intense competition from new carbon composites in aerospace.
The move comes after Alcoa expanded its aluminium lithium capacity in the United Kingdom earlier this year. The firm is also building a new U.S. facility in Indiana to produce 20,000 tonnes per year of aluminium lithium.
Aluminium lithium alloy is used in forgings, sheet and plate applications in airplane wings and fuselage components. Alcoa says it is more fuel efficient and lower-cost than carbon composites.
The Indiana facility is expected to come onstream by the end of next year.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
PPG Industries (PPG) aerospace transparencies group has designed uniquely shaped, lightweight glass windshields and side cockpit windows for the new Dassault Falcon 5X business jet that accentuate the cockpits aerodynamics and afford expansive visibility.
According to Mark Hood, PPG global market director for general aviation transparencies, PPG is under contract with Dassault Aviation to provide production and spare windshields and side cockpit windows, which are the largest for a Falcon jet.
Dassault Aviation wanted curved glass transparencies having the lightest weight possible, and our unique bending and materials expertise enabled us to propose designs exceeding their expectations, Hood said. We are proud we were selected and look forward to growing our relationship with Dassault Aviation.
Arthur C. Scott, PPG global market director for commercial transparencies, had been in Hoods current role when PPG secured the business. Scott said, This is the first Dassault airplane for which we will supply production cockpit windows, and we are pleased we will be able to join Dassault in creating a great new aircraft.
The windshields and side cockpit windows are designed with three plies of HERCULITE(R) II chemically strengthened glass to be strong and lightweight and resist impact by a 4-pound bird at 350 knots. The aircraft will not have windshield wipers, so the windshields and windows have SURFACE SEAL(R) coating to enhance water shedding for visibility. The heating system has been designed to meet challenging requirements including aesthetics and visibility.
Hood said PPG has completed qualification testing for Safety of Flight and is ready to begin production to support the program schedule as directed by Dassault. The windshields and windows will be made at PPGs Huntsville, Ala., plant.
PPG Aerospace is the aerospace products and services business of PPG Industries. PPG Aerospace Transparencies is the worlds largest supplier of aircraft windshields, windows and canopies.
