Third Quarter Results 2003

Pechiney announces earnings from operations in the third quarter of 2003 of € 58 million, down € 37 million from the third quarter of 2002, and a net loss of € 76 million.

Highlights

The main trends in the Group’s earnings from operations were as follows.

Primary Aluminum, which reported earnings from operations of € 33 million, down from € 70 million in the third quarter of 2002, was affected by the weakness of the U.S. dollar vis-à-vis the euro and, to a lesser extent, by the rise in energy costs.

Aluminum Conversion reported earnings from operations of € 10 million in the third quarter of 2003 versus earnings from operations close to zero in the third quarter of 2002. The recovery observed at the beginning of 2003 was confirmed, mainly as a result of the good level of sales volume in aerospace in Europe together with a yet improved operating performance and satisfactory cost control.

Packaging, with earnings from operations of € 23 million in the third quarter of 2003 versus € 32 million in the same period in 2002, was affected by a sharp decline in sales volume and the weakness of the U.S. dollar vis-à-vis the euro in spite of a much reduced raw material cost/price squeeze impact. The sector significantly reduced costs in the third quarter.

During the third quarter, the Group pursued successfully its implementation of the Pechiney Continuous Improvement System, with gains estimated at € 47 million for the period, representing the cumulated sum of € 228 million since January 1, 2002.

Commentary and prospects

At the announcement of Pechiney’s third quarter results, Jean-Pierre Rodier declared: ”The recent quarter underlines the strength of Pechiney’s teams, which in a period of uncertainty demonstrated their ability to generate the greatest quarterly Continuous Improvement System gains reported since the program was launched in January 2002. The fourth quarter should be marked by a stabilization of earnings from operations, owing to improved results in primary aluminum, attributable, in particular, to a rise in prices on the LME and to the initial impact of the foreign exchange options taken by the Group, offset by a seasonal decline in aluminum conversion, while packaging is expected to continue to suffer from a difficult market environment.”

Recent developments

- On August 22, Pechiney acquired Novacel, the Mexican leader in specialty flexible packaging, for U.S.$ 90 million. This acquisition enables Pechiney to gain a foothold in the Mexican flexible packaging market.

- On August 26, Baotou Aluminium and Pechiney signed an agreement to build a new high-purity aluminum production facility at Baotou (Inner Mongolia, China). Pechiney and Baotou Aluminium plan to hold equity interests in the joint venture of 51% and 49% respectively. The total investment by both partners is estimated at U.S.$ 13 million.

- On September 12, Pechiney’s Board of Directors recommended Alcan’s revised takeover bid, which it considers to be in the best interest of the Company‘s shareholders, employees and customers.

- On September 30, Pechiney initiated application of the Coega project’s electricity supply contract with Eskom.

- On October 2, Pechiney announced that it had become part of the Europe and world FTSE4GOOD series of indexes specialized in sustainable development. Pechiney’s presence in this series illustrates the commitment of the Company and its teams to implement ambitious sustainable development initiatives.

On November 4, Pechiney and Nela Harbin (Heilongzian Province) have reached an agreement in principle to launch a joint venture in plates and sheets production for general engineering markets. The total investment could amount to €250 million, of which Pechiney Rhenalu, a 100% subsidiary of Pechiney, would hold at least 51%.

Main trends – Q3 2003

Pechiney Continuous Improvement System – Q3 2003

To cumulated gains, gross of inflation, of € 181 million reported at the end of June 2003, € 47 million can be added for the third quarter of 2003 (the rate of inflation used to compute continuous improvement gains was updated during the third quarter. This amount therefore includes a € 2.3 million adjustment to first half gains. An equal amount will be recorded in the fourth quarter). Cumulated gains since January 1, 2002, thus total €228 million.

Cumulated Continuous Improvement Gains at the end of September 2003

For further details of the Pechiney Continuous Improvement System, see "Item 4. Information on the Company - Overview of the Pechiney Group -Strategy" in the Annual Report on Form 20-F/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 24, 2003.

Market environment

In the primary aluminum market, the average price of aluminum on the LME rose significantly during the quarter — from 1,329 U.S.$/metric ton in the third quarter of 2002 (and from 1,380 U.S.$/metric ton in the second quarter of 2003) to 1,421 U.S.$/metric ton in the third quarter of 2003, representing an increase of 7%.

In aluminum conversion markets, as in the previous quarter, European activities benefited from the continued good level of shipments to Airbus. Meanwhile, other rolled products markets, both in Europe and in the United States, and the extrusions market do not show any sign of recovery.

In packaging, during the third quarter, the markets remained weak, with signs of recovery in the United States in some food markets. Markets for beauty are likely to continue to have depressed volumes this year, except in care.

Segment breakdown - Third quarter 2003

Primary Aluminum (Aluminum Metal, Bauxite –Alumina and Ferroalloys)

Satisfactory operating performance masked by the continued weakness of the U.S. dollar vis-à-vis the euro

At € 33 million, earnings from operations in the third quarter of 2003 were down € 37 million from the same period in 2002, and € 4 million from the previous quarter.

This decline was mainly linked to the persistent weakness of the U.S. dollar vis-à-vis the euro. The euro/dollar parity realized thus continued to worsen during the quarter, rising from 1.11 to 1.13 between the second and the third quarters of 2003. The slight rise in the realized aluminum price on the LME — from 1,360 U.S.$/metric ton in the third quarter of 2002 and from 1,390 U.S.$/metric ton in the second quarter of 2003 to 1,394 U.S.$/metric ton in the third quarter of 2003 —only offset the negative impact of the dollar to a very limited extent.

During the quarter, the sector reported satisfactory operating performance at its plants, except for the PNL smelter, which was particularly affected by energy cost overruns during the summer and low production volumes. In addition, the whole sector was impacted by higher energy prices.

Prospects for the fourth quarter will be marked, in the primary aluminum sector, by a rise in prices on the LME, which combined with the initial impact of the eurodollar foreign exchange options taken for 12 months will ensure a significant improvement in results.

Aluminum Conversion

Good performance of European activities, improved cost control and further reduction in losses in the United States

Earnings from operations in the Aluminum Conversion sector totaled € 10 million in the third quarter of 2003, compared with zero in the third quarter of 2002.
Earnings from operations reported by European activities stood at € 16 million in the third quarter of 2003 versus € 12 million in the same period in 2002.
During the quarter, European aerospace activities continued to benefit from growth in invoice volume compared with those of 2002. Orders booked at the Issoire facility, which benefits from the start of the Airbus A380 and the excellent service quality of the factory, rose by 21% compared with the third quarter of 2002.

Although shipments in the beverage can, automotive and heat exchanger markets were satisfactory, they remained sluggish as far as extruded products are concerned. The sector was also affected by a negative price effect, in particular in thin foil and standard rolled products.

In the United States (Ravenswood, Vernon and Aluminium Lithium), the loss at the level of earnings from operations totaled € 6 million in the third quarter, a major improvement over the € 12 million loss reported in the third quarter of 2002, and slightly better than the € 7 million loss recorded in the second quarter of 2003. The reorganization of Aluminium Lithium and improved cost control at Ravenswood, following a restructuring plan launched at the end of 2002, made it possible to offset the weak sales volume reported in this region.

In Aluminium Conversion overall, despite the good level of aerospace volume and the continuation of operational improvements, the economic environment does not show any sign of recovery, so that the traditional seasonal weakness of the last quarter will still be observed.

Packaging

Lower sales volume and dollar drop partly offset by improved cost control and favorable perimeter effect

In Packaging, earnings from operations totaled € 23 million, down € 9 million from the third quarter of 2002 and down € 3 million from the previous quarter.

¹ 2002 numbers have been restated according to the new organization launched on February 1^st 2003.

Compared with the same period in 2002, the sector was affected by the dollar decline (40% of the earnings from operations fall) and by a drop in sales volume, particularly in the flexible packaging and tube markets in the United States, as well as in the make-up segment.

These declines were only partly offset by the fast pace of cost reductions linked to the Pechiney Continuous Improvement System, the implementation of restructuring measures launched in 2003 as well as the impact of realized acquisitions. Moreover, the raw materials cost / price squeeze effect was widely reduced in the third quarter.

Finally, the sector acquired Novacel, the Mexican leader in specialty flexible packaging.

For the next quarter, the good results achieved in cost control in Packaging should continue to be offset by mediocre volumes in the beauty and food segments.

International Trade

In International Trade, earnings from operations totaled € 14 million in the third quarter of 2003, down slightly from the third quarter of 2002 and stable compared with the previous quarter. The good performance of trading activities helped to offset the negative impact of the parity of the U.S. dollar to a great extent.

Other statement of income items

In the third quarter of 2003, there was a loss from operations of € 57 million, compared with income from operations of € 48 million in the same period in 2002 and with income of € 50 million in the second quarter of 2003. This figure included € 115 million in restructuring expense and other (expense) income, of which € 65 million of tangible assets writedowns and € 33 million in expenses linked to Alcan’s takeover bid for Pechiney.

Net financial expense totaled € 13 million in the third quarter of 2003, down from the third quarter of 2002 and stable compared with the second quarter of 2003.

Current and deferred income taxes represented income of € 18 million in the third quarter of 2003, versus a charge of € 19 millions in the same period in 2002.

Amortization and impairment of goodwill

A charge of € 7 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2003 for the goodwill amortization in French GAAP, to which was added goodwill impairment at Techpack and Eurofoil for a total amount of € 19 million.

Cash flow

The cash flow generated by operations totaled € 401 million for the first nine months of the year. Net of investments and divestitures, the Group’s financing needs stood at € 98 million, before the payment of dividends in the amount of € 110 million.

Number of shares

As of September 30, 2003, the total number of outstanding shares was 83,076,971, of which 4,767,044 were owned by the Company.

The accounting principles applied by the Group in the preparation of its financial statements differ in certain points from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP). The impact of these differences is presented in the above tables and the differences are described below.

Accounting for derivatives and hedging operations

Pechiney's US GAAP financial statements reflect the application of SFAS 133, which requires that derivative instruments (foreign exchange, interest rates, commodities) be recognized in the balance sheet at fair value, and sets criteria to define transactions that may be accounted for as hedging operations.

On the basis of these criteria, certain hedging operations, although efficient from an economic point of view, are not recognized as hedging activities As a result, gains and losses due to the mark to market of certain hedging instruments are recorded in net income or in equity, with no recognition of the inverse effect of the mark to market of the hedged items. For this reason, the impact of this standard on results varies according to market conditions and is difficult to forecast. The application of SFAS 133 generated a net accounting gain (with no impact on cash flow) of € 13 million in the third quarter of 2003.

Amortisation of goodwill

In Pechiney's US GAAP financial statements reflect the application of SFAS 142, which requires that goodwill be not amortised on a recurring basis, but be regularly tested for impairment, leading, if necessary to non-recurring amortisation. In the third quarter of 2003, the application of SFAS 142 led to the cancellation of recurring amortisation (7 million euros) and to goodwill impairment higher than that recorded under French GAAP by 6 million euros.

Cumulative effect of initially applying SFAS 143

In Pechiney's US GAAP financial statements and French GAAP financial statements, the accounting standard SFAS 143, “Accounting for asset retirement obligation”, was adopted effective January 1, 2003. In the USGAAP financial statements, the cumulative effect adjustment at January 1, 2003 is presented on a specific line, at the bottom of the statement of income for the first quarter of 2003. In the French GAAP financial statements, the cumulative effect adjustment is directly recognized in equity.

SFAS 143 requires that legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets and resulting from normal activities be recognized as liabilities, at fair value, when incurred. These asset retirement costs are capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related asset and are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. For Pechiney, the main change relates to the cost of disposal of spent pot lining of aluminum pots in operation, which is now recognized as a liability and capitalized from the time the lining is placed into service. As a consequence, since January 1, 2003, the cost of replacing pot lining, which was previously charged to income, has also been capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the lining, including for pots in operation at January 1, 2003.

The positive cumulative effect at January 1, 2003 was adjusted in the third quarter of 2003 by 1 million euros, from 36 million euros to 37 million euros, corresponding to an increase of net property plant and equipment, environmental reserves, investment in equity affiliates and minority interest by respectively 88, 31, 4 and 4 million euros and a decrease of net deferred tax assets by 20 million euros.

Balance-sheet – The differences in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2003 included the impacts of SFAS 133, SFAS 142 and SFAS 87 (reduction in shareholders' equity due to the different way complementary retirement provisions are recorded in US and in French GAAP). These differences amounted to a net reduction in shareholders’ equity of € 54 million as of June 30, 2003 in US GAAP, down from € 105 million as of December 31, 2002.
