The company generated $2.7 billion in revenue, reflecting stability from the previous quarter.

Alcoa ended the quarter with a solid cash balance of $1.1 billion and paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share. Key developments included plans for the phased restart of the San Ciprián smelter in Spain and the permanent closure of the Intalco smelter in Washington State.
