Item 8.01. Other Events.

The financial information included as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K updates certain portions of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Alcoa Inc. (“Alcoa”) for the year ended December 31, 2005 and Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 (collectively, the “Reports”) to reclassify the results of certain discontinued operations.

Certain financial information in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 has been updated to reflect the home exteriors business and the Hawesville, KY automotive casting facility in discontinued operations. In addition, Schedule II, “Valuation and Qualifying Accounts,” and Exhibit 12, “Computation of Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges,” to Alcoa’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 have been updated to reflect the home exteriors business and the Hawesville, KY automotive casting facility in discontinued operations.

Certain financial information in Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 has been updated to reflect the home exteriors business in discontinued operations. The Hawesville, KY automotive casting facility was already reflected in discontinued operations at the time of the original filing of the Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006.

No attempt has been made to update other matters in the Reports. The reclassifications have no effect on Alcoa’s reported net income in the Reports.

During the third quarter of 2006, Alcoa entered into an agreement to sell its home exteriors business to Ply Gem Industries, Inc. for more than $300 million in cash. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets,” (SFAS 144) Alcoa reported the operations of its home exteriors business as discontinued operations for each period presented in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006. In addition, the assets and related liabilities of the home exteriors business were classified as held for sale for each period presented in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006. The sale of the home exteriors business was completed in October 2006.

During the first quarter of 2006, Alcoa closed its Hawesville, KY automotive casting facility. In accordance with SFAS 144, Alcoa reported the operations of the Hawesville, KY automotive casting facility as discontinued operations and its assets and related liabilities were classified as held for sale for each period presented in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 30, 2006.

The attached information should be read together with Alcoa’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

The Reports, Schedule II and Exhibit 12 are attached as Exhibits 99.1 thru 99.5, and are incorporated herein by reference.
