• Generated revenue of $3.0 billion
• Recorded quarterly net income of $232 million, or $0.88 per common share, which includes $895 million of restructuring and related charges due to the permanent closure of the Kwinana refinery in Australia and a $786 million gain on the sale of interest in the joint venture with Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma’aden)
• Set year-to-date production records at five aluminum smelters in Canada, Norway, Australia, and the U.S.
• Progressed the execution of a new long-term energy contract for the Massena smelter in New York
• Engaged with U.S. and Australian governments to advance the development of a gallium plant to be co-located at the Wagerup refinery in Australia
• Finished the third quarter 2025 with a cash balance of $1.5 billion, including full repayment of a $74 million term loan

“During the third quarter, we continued to deliver on operational stability and the optimization of our portfolio,” said Alcoa President and CEO William F. Oplinger. “Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, we will focus on safety, stability, and continuous improvement to increase overall profitability, while we progress Australia mine approvals.”

Third Quarter 2025 Results

• Production: Alumina production increased 4 percent sequentially to 2.5 million metric tons primarily related to higher output from the Australian refineries due to lower maintenance in the quarter. In the Aluminum segment, production increased 1 percent sequentially to 579,000 metric tons primarily due to progress on the San Ciprián, Spain smelter restart.
  
  
• Shipments: In the Alumina segment, third-party shipments of alumina were flat sequentially at 2.2 million metric tons, with higher shipments due to increased refinery production being partially offset by decreased trading activity. In Aluminum, total shipments decreased 3 percent sequentially primarily due to decreased trading and timing of shipments.
  
  
• Revenue: The Company’s total third-party revenue of $3.0 billion decreased 1 percent sequentially. In the Alumina segment, third-party revenue decreased 9 percent on lower volumes and price from bauxite offtake and supply agreements. In the Aluminum segment, third-party revenue increased 4 percent on an increase in average realized third-party price, partially offset by lower shipments and unfavorable currency impacts.
  
  
• Net income attributable to Alcoa Corporation was $232 million, or $0.88 per common share. The results reflect the gain on the sale of interest in the Ma’aden joint venture and a favorable mark-to-market change on the Ma’aden shares, partially offset by restructuring charges (see below). Sequentially, the results reflect increased tariff costs on imported aluminum, charges to increase asset retirement obligations primarily in Brazil, unfavorable currency impacts, and lower alumina prices, partially offset by higher aluminum prices.
  
  In the third quarter 2025, the Midwest premium earned on the Company’s U.S. aluminum production more than offset the net unfavorable impact of the Midwest premium and tariff costs on imports of aluminum from its Canadian smelters to U.S. customers.
  
  
• Adjusted net loss was $6 million, or $0.02 per common share, excluding the impact from net special items of $238 million. Notable special items include restructuring and related charges for the closure of the Kwinana refinery of $895 million, a gain on the sale of interest in the Ma’aden joint venture of $786 million, mark-to-market gain on the Ma’aden shares of $267 million, and the net tax benefit of these items.
  
  
• Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $270 million, a sequential decrease of $43 million primarily due to increased tariff costs on imported aluminum, charges to increase asset retirement obligations, unfavorable currency impacts, and lower alumina prices, partially offset by higher aluminum prices.
  
  
• Cash: Alcoa ended the quarter with a cash balance of $1.5 billion. Cash provided from operations was $85 million. Cash used for financing activities was $105 million, primarily related to $74 million for the full repayment of a term loan and $26 million of cash dividends on stock. Cash used for investing activities was $11 million, primarily related to capital expenditures of $151 million, partially offset by cash received from the sale of interest in the Ma’aden joint venture of $150 million.
  
  
• Working capital: For the third quarter, Receivables from customers of $1.0 billion, Inventories of $2.2 billion and Accounts payable, trade of $1.6 billion comprised DWC working capital. Alcoa reported 50 days working capital, a sequential increase of 3 days primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable days on higher pricing for aluminum.

Key Actions

• Massena energy contract: On October 22, 2025, Alcoa announced a long-term energy contract with the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and a capital investment of approximately $60 million in the facility’s anode baking furnace to support future operations at the Massena smelter.
  
  
• Gallium project: On October 20, 2025, Alcoa announced support from the U.S. and Australian governments to advance development of a gallium plant to be co-located at the Wagerup refinery in Australia.
  
  
• Kwinana refinery: On September 29, 2025, the Company announced the decision to permanently close the Kwinana refinery in Australia.
  
  
• Term loan: In September 2025, the Company fully repaid $74 million drawn under a term loan and cancelled the agreement.
  
  
• Australia mine approvals: The Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority (WA EPA) has provided a summary of the comments received during the 12-week public comment period for the Company’s mining activities in Australia, which include the plan for the next major mine regions (Myara North and Holyoake) and the rolling five-year mine plan (2023-2027) referred to the WA EPA in 2023 by a third party. The Company is conducting a comprehensive review of the comments received and plans to submit responses to the WA EPA during the fourth quarter 2025. Following the Company’s response to any clarifications requested by the WA EPA, the Company expects that the WA EPA will publish its assessment and recommendations by June 2026. An appeals process of the assessment and recommendations will follow ahead of Ministerial decisions which are expected by the end of 2026.

2025 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 2025 total Alumina segment production and shipments to remain unchanged from its prior projection, ranging between 9.5 to 9.7 million metric tons, and between 13.1 and 13.3 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 in June 2024.

Alcoa expects 2025 total Aluminum segment production and shipments to remain unchanged from its prior projection, ranging between 2.3 and 2.5 million metric tons, and between 2.5 and 2.6 million metric tons, respectively.

Within the fourth quarter 2025 Alumina Segment Adjusted EBITDA, the Company expects sequential favorable impacts of approximately $80 million due to the absence of charges to increase asset retirement obligations, higher shipments, and lower maintenance costs.

For the fourth quarter 2025, the Aluminum segment expects sequential unfavorable impacts of approximately $20 million due to restart inefficiencies at the San Ciprián smelter, and lower third-party energy sales, partially offset by higher shipments. Tariff costs on higher U.S. imports of aluminum from Canada are expected to increase by approximately $50 million sequentially. Alumina costs in the Aluminum segment are expected to be favorable by approximately $45 million sequentially.

Based on current alumina and aluminum market conditions, Alcoa expects fourth quarter 2025 operational tax expense to approximate $40 million to $50 million, which may vary with market conditions and jurisdictional profitability.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The difference between segment totals and consolidated amounts is in Corporate.
(1)	Adjusted operating costs includes all production related costs for alumina or aluminum produced and shipped: raw materials consumed; conversion costs, such as labor, materials, and utilities; and plant administrative expenses.
(2)	Other segment items include costs associated with trading activity, the Alumina segment’s purchase of bauxite from offtake or other supply agreements, the Alumina segment’s commercial shipping services, and the Aluminum segment’s energy assets; other direct and non-production related charges; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; and Research and development expenses.
(3)	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. The Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
(4)	Transformation includes, among other items, the Adjusted EBITDA of previously closed operations.
(5)	Corporate expenses are composed of general administrative and other expenses of operating the corporate headquarters and other global administrative facilities, as well as research and development expenses of the corporate technical center.
(6)	Other includes certain items that are not included in the Adjusted EBITDA of the reportable segments.

Net (loss) income attributable to Alcoa Corporation common shareholders – as adjusted		$	(0.02	)		$	0.39			$	0.57

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 September 30, 2025, a gain on the sale of interest in the Ma'aden joint venture ($786), a favorable mark-to-market change on the shares of Ma'aden ($267), costs related to the closure of the Kwinana, Australia refinery ($39), a net unfavorable change in mark-to-market energy ($22) and foreign exchange ($12) derivative instruments, costs related to the restart process at the San Ciprián, Spain smelter ($4) external costs related to portfolio actions ($2), and a net benefit for other special items ($1); for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, a net favorable change in mark-to-market foreign exchange ($72) and energy ($7) derivative instruments, external costs related to portfolio actions ($6), costs related to the restart process at the San Ciprián smelter ($3), a gain on sale of a non-core investment ($3), and a net benefit for other special items ($4); and, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, a net unfavorable change in mark-to-market energy derivative instruments ($31), external costs related to portfolio actions ($4), and a net benefit for other special items ($1).
(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 September 30, 2025, a net benefit for discrete tax items ($5); for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, a net charge for discrete tax items ($3); and, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, a net benefit for discrete tax items ($3).
(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 common shares applicable to diluted earnings per share exclude certain share equivalents as their effect is anti-dilutive.
	For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, undistributed earnings of $3 were allocated to preferred stock under the two-class method. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, dividends paid on preferred stock were $1 and undistributed earnings of $1 were allocated to preferred stock under the two-class method. For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, undistributed earnings of $1 and undistributed earnings – as adjusted of $2 were allocated to preferred stock under the two-class method.

Adjusted EBITDA, excluding special items		$	270			$	313			$	455

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 the quarter ended September 30, 2025, costs related to the closure of the Kwinana, Australia refinery ($39), costs related to the restart process at the San Ciprián, Spain smelter ($4), external costs related to portfolio actions ($2), and charges for other special items ($2). Additionally, the mark-to-market contracts associated with the Portland, Australia smelter ($7) and San Ciprián refinery and smelter ($5) generated gains in Other (income) expenses, net which economically offset a portion of the cost of power and foreign currency impacts, respectively, recorded in Cost of goods sold. These non-GAAP reclasses present the net cost of power and foreign currency impacts within Cost of goods sold. for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, net cost of power associated with the Portland smelter ($30), external costs related to portfolio actions ($6), costs related to the restart process at the San Ciprián smelter ($3), and charges for other special items ($2); and, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, net cost of power associated with the Portland smelter ($21), external costs related to portfolio actions ($4), and charges for other specials items ($1).

Capital expenditures			(151	)			(131	)			(146	)
Free cash flow		$	(66	)		$	357			$	(3	)
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.

Net debt			1,096				1,457
Plus: Net pension / OPEB liability			539				600
Adjusted net debt		$	1,635			$	2,057
Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is meaningful to investors because management assesses Alcoa Corporation’s leverage position after considering available cash that could be used to repay outstanding debt.
Adjusted net debt is also a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is meaningful to investors because management also assesses Alcoa Corporation’s leverage position after considering available cash that could be used to repay outstanding debt and net pension/OPEB liability.

DWC working capital and Days working capital are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these measures are meaningful to investors because management uses its working capital position to assess Alcoa Corporation’s efficiency in liquidity management.
(1)	Days working capital is calculated as DWC working capital divided by the quotient of Sales and number of days in the quarter.
