•Revenue increased 12 percent sequentially to $2.9 billion, on higher alumina and aluminum prices
•Net income increased sequentially to $20 million, or $0.11 per share
•Adjusted net income increased to $30 million, or $0.16 per share
•Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items increased sequentially to $325 million
•Alumina Limited acquisition expected to close on or about August 1, 2024
•Completed the full curtailment of Kwinana refinery in Australia
•Paid quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock, totaling $18 million
•Finished the second quarter 2024 with cash balance of $1.4 billion
“It was another fast-paced quarter at Alcoa as we approach the closing of the acquisition of Alumina Limited and continue to execute initiatives to further enhance our operations,” said Alcoa President and CEO William F. Oplinger. “Our continuous improvement focus remains high and, along with positive markets, led to stronger results for the second quarter.”
Second Quarter 2024 Results
•Production: Alumina production decreased 5 percent sequentially to 2.53 million metric tons primarily due to the full curtailment of the Kwinana refinery completed in June 2024. In the Aluminum segment, Alcoa produced 543,000 metric tons, demonstrating a seventh consecutive quarter of increased aluminum production.
•Shipments: In the Alumina segment, third-party shipments of alumina decreased 5 percent sequentially primarily due to the full curtailment of the Kwinana refinery. In Aluminum, total shipments increased 7 percent sequentially primarily due to the timing of shipments and the restart of one potline at Warrick Operations in the first quarter 2024.
•Revenue: The Company’s total third-party revenue of $2.9 billion increased 12 percent sequentially. In the Alumina segment, third-party revenue increased 5 percent on a 7 percent increase in average realized third-party price, partially offset by lower shipments. In the Aluminum segment, third-party revenue increased 16 percent on a 9 percent increase in average realized third-party price and increased shipments.
•Net income attributable to Alcoa Corporation was $20 million, or $0.11 per share. Sequentially, the results reflect higher average realized third-party prices for alumina and aluminum and lower production and raw material costs, partially offset by higher energy costs and higher interest expense. Additionally, the results reflect the non-recurrence of a $197 million charge in the first quarter 2024 related to the full curtailment of the Kwinana refinery.
•Adjusted net income was $30 million, or $0.16 per share, excluding the impact from net special items of $10 million. Notable special items include a mark-to-market gain of $26 million related to energy contracts, which was more than offset by restructuring related charges of $18 million and the tax and noncontrolling interest impact of these items.
•Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $325 million, a sequential increase of $193 million primarily due to higher average realized third-party prices for alumina and aluminum and lower production and raw material costs, partially offset by higher energy costs.
•Cash: Alcoa ended the quarter with a cash balance of $1.4 billion. Cash provided from operations was $287 million. Cash used for financing activities was $75 million primarily related to $21 million of net payments on short-term borrowings, $22 million in net distributions to noncontrolling interest and $18 million in cash dividends on common stock. Cash used for investing activities was $164 million due to capital expenditures of $164 million. Free cash flow was $123 million.
•Working capital: For the second quarter, Receivables from customers of $0.9 billion, Inventories of $2.0 billion and Accounts payable, trade of $1.6 billion comprised DWC working capital. Alcoa reported 41 days working capital, a sequential decrease of six days primarily due to a decrease in inventory days, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable days both on higher sales and favorable changes in balances in the second quarter.
Key Actions
•Acquisition of Alumina Limited: Alcoa expects its acquisition of Alumina Limited to be completed on or about August 1, 2024, subject to approval of the transaction by the shareholders of Alumina Limited. On July 17, 2024, Alcoa announced voting results of its Special Meeting of Stockholders, at which its stockholders approved the issuance of Alcoa shares for the transaction. All required regulatory approvals for the transaction have been received after the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board approved the transaction on June 13, 2024. On June 11, 2024, Alcoa announced it had reached several other key milestones for the transaction.
•ELYSISTM: On June 28, 2024, the Company announced further progress on ELYSIS technology with Rio Tinto’s plans to launch the first industrial-scale demonstration of the breakthrough technology.
•San Ciprián complex: During the second quarter 2024, Alcoa continued to work to find competitive energy solutions for both the San Ciprián refinery and smelter, while progressing the process for the potential sale of the complex. Both alumina and aluminum prices improved during the second quarter, and based on current economic conditions, Alcoa anticipates that available funding will be exhausted by the end of 2024.
•Kwinana refinery: The Company completed the full curtailment of the Kwinana refinery in Australia in June 2024, as planned.
•Profitability improvement programs: In January 2024, the Company shared a series of actions to improve its profitability by $645 million by year end 2025 in comparison to the base year 2023. Through the second quarter 2024, the Company had implemented numerous run rate improvements and realized year over year raw materials savings which are projected to achieve $350 million of the target. The Company is on track to deliver the full target by year end 2025.
2024 Outlook
The following outlook does not include reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, including transformation, intersegment eliminations and other corporate Adjusted EBITDA; operational tax expense; and other expense; each excluding special items, to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because it is impractical to forecast certain special items, such as restructuring charges and mark-to-market contracts, without unreasonable efforts due to the variability and complexity associated with predicting the occurrence and financial impact of such special items. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
Alcoa expects 2024 total Alumina segment production and shipments to remain unchanged from the prior projection, ranging between 9.8 and 10.0 million metric tons, and between 12.7 and 12.9 million metric tons, respectively. The difference between production and shipments reflects trading volumes and externally sourced alumina to fulfill customer contracts due to the curtailment of the Kwinana refinery.
Alcoa expects 2024 total Aluminum segment production and shipments to remain unchanged from the prior projection, ranging between 2.2 and 2.3 million metric tons, and between 2.5 and 2.6 million metric tons, respectively.
Within third quarter 2024 Alumina Segment Adjusted EBITDA, the Company expects sequential unfavorable impacts of $10 million related to bauxite grade in Australia.
Within third quarter 2024 Aluminum Segment Adjusted EBITDA, the Company expects favorable raw material prices of $10 million.
Interest expense in the third quarter 2024 is expected to increase by approximately $5 million due to the assumption of Alumina Limited debt at acquisition closing.
Based on current alumina and aluminum market conditions, Alcoa expects third quarter operational tax expense to approximate $60 million to $70 million, which may vary with market conditions and jurisdictional profitability.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest will be reported through the closing of the Alumina Limited acquisition in the third quarter and is expected to approximate $20 million.

Alcoa will hold its quarterly conference call at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) / 7:00 a.m. Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) on Wednesday, July 17, 2024 / Thursday, July 18, 2024, to present second quarter 2024 financial results and discuss the business, developments, and market conditions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains reference to certain financial measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Alcoa Corporation believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because such measures provide both additional information about the operating performance of Alcoa Corporation and insight on the ability of Alcoa Corporation to meet its financial obligations by adjusting the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for the impact of, among others, “special items” as defined by the Company, non-cash items in nature, and/or nonoperating expense or income items. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. Certain definitions, reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and additional details regarding management’s rationale for the use of the non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the schedules to this release.

Net income (loss) attributable to Alcoa Corporation – as adjusted and Diluted EPS – as adjusted are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these measures are meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of Alcoa Corporation excluding the impacts of restructuring and other charges, various tax items, and other special items (collectively, “special items”). There can be no assurances that additional special items will not occur in future periods. To compensate for this limitation, management believes it is appropriate to consider Net income (loss) attributable to Alcoa Corporation and Diluted EPS determined under GAAP as well as Net income (loss) attributable to Alcoa Corporation – as adjusted and Diluted EPS – as adjusted.
(1) Other special items include the following:
•for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, a net favorable change in mark-to-market energy derivative instruments ($26), an adjustment to the gain on sale of the Warrick Rolling Mill in Evansville, Indiana for additional site separation costs ($4), external costs related to portfolio actions ($2), and net charges for other special items ($2);
•for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, an adjustment to the gain on sale of the Warrick Rolling Mill in Evansville, Indiana for additional site separation costs ($11), a net unfavorable change in mark-to-market energy derivative instruments ($4), external costs related to portfolio actions ($4), costs related to the restart process at the Warrick Operations site in Indiana ($3), costs related to the restart process at the San Ciprián, Spain smelter ($2), and a net benefit for other special items ($2); and,
•for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, a net unfavorable change in mark-to-market energy derivative instruments ($22) and costs related to the restart process at the Alumar, Brazil smelter ($13).
(2) Discrete and other tax items are generally unusual or infrequently occurring items, changes in law, items associated with uncertain tax positions, or the effect of measurement-period adjustments and include the following:
•for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, net charge for discrete tax items ($1).
(3) The tax impact on special items is based on the applicable statutory rates in the jurisdictions where the special items occurred. The noncontrolling interest impact on special items represents Alcoa’s partner’s share of certain special items.
(4) In any period with a Net loss attributable to Alcoa Corporation (GAAP or as adjusted), the average number of shares applicable to diluted earnings per share exclude certain share equivalents as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Alcoa Corporation’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is meaningful to investors because Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to Alcoa Corporation’s operating performance and the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations. The Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
(1) Special items include the following (see reconciliation of Adjusted Income above for additional information):
•for quarter ended June 30, 2024, the mark-to-market contracts associated with the Portland smelter generated gains ($29) in Other (income) expenses, net which economically offset a portion of the cost of power recorded in Cost of goods sold. This non-GAAP reclass presents the net cost of power within Cost of goods sold. This was in addition to external costs related to portfolio actions ($2) and net charges for other specials items ($3);
•for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, external costs related to portfolio actions ($4), costs related to the restart process at the Warrick Operations site in Indiana ($3), costs related to the restart process at the San Ciprián, Spain smelter ($2), and a benefit for other special items ($1); and,
•for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, costs related to the restart process at the Alumar, Brazil smelter ($13) and net cost of power associated with the Portland smelter ($13).

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations after taking into consideration capital expenditures, which are necessary to maintain and expand Alcoa Corporation’s asset base and are expected to generate future cash flows from operations. It is important to note that Free Cash Flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure.
