“While we saw lower pricing during the second quarter, our global teams have worked to address short-term challenges and drive operational improvements,” said Alcoa President and CEO Roy Harvey. “We expect to see financial improvement in the third quarter of 2023 as the Alumina and Aluminum segments are both forecast to have reduced costs for raw materials and production,” Harvey said.

“For the first half of the year, we’ve kept up with solid demand for value add aluminum products, which gives us access to a variety of end-use markets,” Harvey said. “As we look forward, we continue to be excited for the future because aluminum is a critical material, and we offer low-carbon solutions for our customers through our SustanaTM family of products.”

Second Quarter 2023 Results

  • Revenue: The Company’s total third-party revenue of $2.68 billion increased 1 percent sequentially with higher shipments in both the Alumina and Aluminum segments, which partially offset lower average realized third-party prices for alumina and aluminum of 2 percent and 5 percent, respectively.



  • Shipments: In the Alumina segment, third-party shipments of alumina increased 11 percent sequentially, primarily due to increased trading. Third-party shipments in the second quarter of 2023 include alumina purchased to offset lower production.



    In Aluminum, total shipments increased 4 percent sequentially due to increased offtake under a joint venture supply agreement and higher volumes from European smelters. Most of the volume increase is attributable to value add aluminum products, primarily foundry and high purity.



  • Production: Alumina production decreased 7 percent sequentially to 2.6 million metric tons primarily due to lower production at the Alumar refinery in Brazil, which had unplanned maintenance. Also, some Australian refineries had lower output as anticipated, due to lower grade bauxite. Increased production at the San Ciprián refinery in Spain partially offset decreases.



    In Aluminum, Alcoa produced 523,000 metric tons, a sequential increase of 1 percent above the first quarter’s strong output.

  • Net loss attributable to Alcoa Corporation was $102 million, or $0.57 per share. The sequential results reflect lower aluminum prices and higher Alumina segment production costs primarily related to operating Australia refineries with lower grade bauxite, partially offset by lower raw material costs. The sequential improvement reflects the non-recurrence of first quarter restructuring related charges of $149 million primarily related to the permanent closure of the Intalco smelter and certain employee obligations related to the updated agreement for the San Ciprián smelter and a utility settlement of $41 million at the Ma’aden joint venture in Saudi Arabia.

  • Adjusted net loss was $62 million, or $0.35 per share, excluding the impact from special items of $40 million. Notable special items include charges of $21 million in noncash pension settlement charges, and $13 million related to restart costs at the Alumar smelter.

  • Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $137 million, a $103 million sequential decrease due primarily to higher Alumina segment production costs and lower prices for aluminum.



  • Cash: Alcoa ended the quarter with a cash balance of $1.0 billion. Cash used for operations was $13 million. Cash used for financing activities was $24 million, primarily related to $18 million of cash dividends on common stock. Cash used for investing activities was $120 million, primarily related to capital expenditures of $115 million. Free cash flow was negative $128 million.

  • Working capital: For the second quarter, Receivables from customers of $0.7 billion, Inventories of $2.4 billion and Accounts payable, trade of $1.5 billion comprised DWC working capital. The Company reported 55 Days working capital over days in the quarter, a sequential improvement of one day. The change primarily relates to a decrease of two days in accounts receivable primarily related to lower pricing for aluminum.

Key Strategic Actions:

Financial

  • Pension annuitization: In May 2023, the Company completed the purchase of group annuity contracts to transfer approximately $235 million of pension obligations and assets associated with defined benefit pension plans for approximately 500 Canadian retirees and beneficiaries. The transfer, which required no cash funding from Alcoa, reduces the risk from volatility in pension plan obligations and continues to meet commitments to retirees and beneficiaries.

Commercial

  • In May 2023, the Company and Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) announced a new multi-year agreement for Alcoa to supply EGA with smelter grade alumina. Over the life of the 8-year agreement, which commences in 2024, volume options will allow EGA to procure as much as 15.6 million metric tons of alumina from Western Australia. The supply agreement will represent a significant portion of Alcoa’s annual third-party alumina sales.

Operational

  • Labor agreement: In May 2023, members of the United Steelworkers ratified a new three-year collective bargaining agreement that covers more than 800 active employees at two smelters: Warrick Operations in Indiana and Massena Operations in New York.



  • Western Australia Mine Plan Approvals: During the second quarter of 2023, the Company continued to work with relevant state government agencies to support the annual mine approvals process. Alcoa seeks annual approvals from the Western Australian State Government for a rolling five-year mine plan and related forest clearing activities that are needed for the Huntly and Willowdale mines.



    In April 2023, Alcoa began mining lower grade bauxite in areas already permitted under Mine Management Programs (MMPs) at the Huntly Mine, which supplies the Pinjarra and Kwinana alumina refineries. The reduction in grade extends the ore supply to provide more time to work through the approvals process.



    Additionally, a third party has asked the Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority (WA EPA) to determine whether additional environmental review is needed on the Company’s MMPs. The WA EPA has indicated it could decide by the end of July 2023 whether to proceed to a public comment period, which would be the next stage in its consideration process on the third-party referrals.



    After a public comment period, the EPA would then consider whether to formally conduct additional review on all or part of the MMPs and, if so, at what level. The Company believes the MMPs can continue to be adapted to meet evolving needs and expectations for existing mine regions while transitioning to longer term plans for new regions that would fall under the WA EPA’s assessment process.

Sustainability

  • On May 25, 2023, the Company announced it received certification from the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) for its Portland Aluminium joint venture in Australia. The latest ASI certification for Portland means that all of Alcoa of Australia’s operations are certified to ASI’s Performance Standard, which provides third-party validation of responsible production.



    The Company currently has 18 global sites certified to ASI and has also earned ASI’s Chain of Custody certification, which allows Alcoa to continue marketing globally ASI-certified bauxite, alumina and aluminum. The ASI certification program is the aluminum industry’s most comprehensive third-party program to validate responsible production practices.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP financial measures

Alcoa Corporation does not provide 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, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

2023 Outlook

The Company expects 2023 total alumina and aluminum shipments to remain unchanged between 12.7 and 12.9 million metric tons, and between 2.5 and 2.6 million metric tons, respectively.

For third quarter 2023 Alumina Segment Adjusted EBITDA, the Company expects an improvement of $65 million due to lower raw material prices, and lower production costs and higher volumes as elevated maintenance from the second quarter of 2023 has concluded, to be partially offset by unfavorable impacts of $10 million related to operating the Kwinana and Pinjarra refineries with the lower bauxite grade.

For the third quarter 2023, the Company expects a net improvement of $25 million in Aluminum Segment Adjusted EBITDA on favorable raw materials and lower production costs, partially offset by unfavorable value add aluminum products sales, primarily due to softer billet demand. In addition, the Company expects alumina costs to be favorable by $5 million.

The second quarter 2023 included favorable foreign currency gains of $40 million that may not recur.

Based on current alumina and aluminum market conditions, Alcoa expects third quarter operational tax expense to approximate $10 million to $20 million, which may vary with market conditions and jurisdictional profitability.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This 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).

The difference between segment totals and consolidated amounts is in Corporate.

(1)

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.

(2)

Transformation includes, among other items, the Adjusted EBITDA of previously closed operations.

(3)

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.

(4)

Other includes certain items that are not included in the Adjusted EBITDA of the reportable segments.

(5)

Beginning in January 2023, the Company changed its operating segments by combining the Bauxite and Alumina segments, and reported its financial results in the following two segments: (i) Alumina and (ii) Aluminum. Segment information for all prior periods presented has been updated to reflect the new segment structure.

Net (loss) income attributable to Alcoa Corporation – as adjusted is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is 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 both Net (loss) income attributable to Alcoa Corporation determined under GAAP as well as Net (loss) income attributable to Alcoa Corporation – as adjusted.

(1)

Other special items include the following:

  • 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);
  • for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, a net favorable change in mark-to-market energy derivative instruments ($23), costs related to the restart process at the Alumar, Brazil smelter ($19), an adjustment to the gain on sale of the Warrick Rolling Mill in Evansville, Indiana for additional site separation costs ($17), costs related to the closure of the Intalco, Washington aluminum smelter ($16), and a net benefit for other special items ($4); and,
  • for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, a net favorable change in mark-to-market energy derivative instruments ($106), costs related to the restart process at the Alumar, Brazil smelter ($22), an adjustment to the gain on sale of the Warrick Rolling Mill in Evansville, Indiana for additional site separation costs ($5), and costs related to the restart process of the Portland, Australia smelter ($3).
 
(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); and,
  • for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, net charge for discrete tax items ($2).
 

(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’s 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 June 30, 2023, costs related to the restart process at the Alumar, Brazil smelter ($13). Additionally, due to changes in price in the Australian power market, the mark-to-market contracts associated with the Portland smelter have generated gains ($13) in Other expenses (income), 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;
  • for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, costs related to the restart process at the Alumar, Brazil smelter ($19), costs related to the closure of the Intalco, Washington aluminum smelter ($16), and net cost of power associated with the Portland smelter ($3); and,
  • for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, net cost of power associated with the Portland smelter ($70), costs related to the restart process at the Alumar, Brazil smelter ($22), and costs related to the restart process of the Portland, Australia smelter ($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 both necessary to maintain and expand Alcoa Corporation’s asset base and 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 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. When cash exceeds total debt, the measure is expressed as net cash.

Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that 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. When cash exceeds total debt, the measure is expressed as net cash.

Adjusted net debt and proportional adjusted net debt are also non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these additional measures are 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, net of the portion of those items attributable to noncontrolling interest (NCI).

DWC working capital and Days working capital are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that 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.
