"The strategic work we've been implementing across our Company has helped us effectively capture the benefits from very strong market fundamentals and deliver another excellent quarter with record profitability," said Alcoa President and CEO Roy Harvey.

"Today, Alcoa is stronger and better poised for the future, and we plan to continue our positive momentum and consistently deliver value through the commodity cycle," Harvey said.

Third Quarter 2021 Results

  • Revenue: Higher aluminum and alumina prices, and higher premiums for value-add products, drove a 10 percent sequential increase in revenue to $3.1 billion. On a sequential basis, the average realized third-party price of primary aluminum increased 13 percent.

  • Shipments: In Aluminum, total third-party shipments decreased 6 percent sequentially due to completion of accumulated inventory sales at the San Ciprián smelter in the second quarter, and a lack of railcar availability for the Canadian smelters in the third quarter. Shipment volume for value-add aluminum products, which includes specific shapes and alloys such as billet, slab, foundry, and rod, decreased 5 percent sequentially primarily attributable to European sales, which are seasonally lower in the third quarter. In Alumina, third-party shipments were flat.

  • Production: Aluminum production remained consistent with the second quarter's strong output. Alumina segment production was down 4 percent with lower production in Western Australia, as well as in Brazil due to a damaged ship unloader at the Alumar refinery. July's damage to the ship unloader reduced Alumar's refining production by about one-third. In early October, Alumar's alumina production was restored to approximately 95 percent capacity with the use of temporary cranes to unload bauxite. Permanent repairs to the unloader are being planned.

  • Net income attributable to Alcoa Corporation of $337 million, or $1.76 per share, an improvement from the prior quarter's net income of $309 million, or $1.63 per share. The record-setting results are primarily due to higher aluminum and alumina prices, partially offset by the absence of the second quarter's gain on the sale of the former Eastalco site, and higher raw materials and energy costs.

  • Adjusted net income increased 39 percent sequentially to $391 million, or $2.05 per share, excluding the impact from net special items of $54 million. Notable special items include charges of $28 million for the closure of the anode portion of the Lake Charles facility and $22 million in debt redemption expenses.

  • Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items increased 18 percent sequentially to $728 million, primarily due to higher aluminum and alumina prices.

  • Cash: Alcoa ended the quarter with cash on hand of $1.45 billion. Cash activity included the early redemption of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00 percent senior notes due in 2026.

    Cash provided from operations was $435 million. Cash used for financing activities was $545 million, primarily related to the early debt redemption. Cash used for investing activities was $77 million, primarily related to capital expenditures. Free cash flow was $352 million.

  • Debt: Total debt as of September 30, 2021 was $1.8 billion, an improvement from total debt of $2.3 billion in the second quarter 2021 with the redemption of $500 million of 7.00 percent senior notes in September 2021. The redemption moves the Company's proportional adjusted net debt to $1.7 billion, below the target range of $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion. The Company ended the quarter with $350 million in net debt.

  • Working capital: The Company reported 29 days working capital, three days higher than the second quarter of 2021. Compared to the third quarter 2020, excluding the working capital of the Warrick rolling mill in the comparative period, days working capital increased 10 days. Increased working capital is due primarily to higher aluminum sales prices and raw materials inflation in both periods.

Dividend and Share Repurchase Program

Today, October 14, 2021, Alcoa announced the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock and a new $500 million share repurchase program. The Board of Directors declared the first quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of the Company's common stock, to be paid on November 19, 2021 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 29, 2021. The Company is authorized to repurchase up to a total of $650 million of its outstanding shares of common stock, which includes $500 million under the newly authorized share repurchase program and a remaining $150 million under the Company's previously authorized share repurchase program.

Portfolio Review

Alcoa continues to make progress against its five-year review of production assets. When announced in October 2019, the review included 1.5 million metric tons of smelting capacity to evaluate options for significant improvement, curtailment, closure, or divestiture. Alcoa has now addressed more than 700,000 metric tons of global aluminum smelting capacity. Since announcing the review, Alcoa has completed the curtailment of the Intalco smelter in Washington State, repowered the Portland smelter in Australia, and announced the restart of 268,000 metric tons of capacity at the Alumar smelter in Brazil.

Alcoa also continues to seek a solution regarding the San Ciprián aluminum smelter in Spain and its 228,000 metric tons of capacity. The price of power in Spain for the smelter far exceeds the averages for global smelters and those in the European Union. Alcoa remains committed to transfer the aluminum smelter to a third party as soon as the Spanish government can develop and implement a competitive energy framework that would make the smelter viable. On September 27, 2021, the workers' representatives at the facility initiated a strike that limits various activities and has blocked aluminum shipments.

Advancing Sustainably

Alcoa continues to focus on its strategic priority to advance sustainably. On October 4, 2021, the Company announced its ambition to reach net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 for direct (scope 1) and indirect (scope 2) emissions.

The endeavor to reach net zero GHG emissions complements the Company's existing targets, which include reducing direct and indirect GHG emissions from aluminum smelting and alumina refining operations by 30 percent by 2025 and 50 percent by 2030 from 2015 baselines.

On September 30, 2021, Alcoa announced a joint development project to evaluate potential entry into the high purity alumina (HPA) market, which is expected to experience continued growth to support the sustainable economy. Market applications for this particular non-metallurgical alumina includes LED lighting and lithium ion batteries used in electric vehicles.

Alcoa continues to gain additional certifications for sustainable production. In September, Alcoa announced that all of the Canadian smelters it operates now have certification from the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI), the industry's most comprehensive, third-party system to verify responsible production. Today, Alcoa has 15 global operating sites certified to the ASI's Performance Standard. Also, the Company can sell at a premium ASI-certified bauxite, alumina and aluminum.

2021 Outlook

Alcoa continues to expect a strong 2021 based on the continued economic recovery and increased demand for aluminum in all end markets. The Company's Aluminum segment is forecasting double digit growth on year-over-year shipment volume of value-add products, and the Company expects annual global demand for primary aluminum to increase approximately 10 percent relative to 2020 and to surpass the pre-pandemic levels in 2019.

The Company's 2021 shipment outlook for the Alumina and Aluminum segments remains unchanged with Alumina projected at 14.1 to 14.2 million metric tons and Aluminum expected to be 2.9 to 3.0 million metric tons.

In Bauxite, the shipment outlook is reduced by 1 million dry metric tons to between 49.0 and 50.0 million dry metric tons due primarily to reduced demand from the Alumar refinery during the unloader outage in the third quarter.

Alcoa anticipates continued positive financial results in the fourth quarter of 2021 and is well positioned to participate in strong market pricing.

The San Ciprián refining and smelting operations are expected to face significantly higher energy and raw materials costs, as well as the loss of value-add premiums while strike conditions persist. The resulting fourth quarter impact on net income attributable to Alcoa could approximate $90 million. Included in that impact is the reduction of approximately 52,000 metric tons of aluminum shipments. Additionally, working capital increase in the fourth quarter related to San Ciprián could approximate $120 million.

Beyond the San Ciprián impacts, the Company also anticipates continuing inflationary pressure on raw materials and energy.

Based on current alumina and aluminum market conditions, the Company expects fourth quarter tax expense of approximately $230 million, which may vary with market conditions and jurisdictional profitability.

The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, and its magnitude and duration continue to be unknown. The Company continues to take appropriate measures to protect its employees and business from the risks of the pandemic by following all appropriate health-based protocols. Uncertainty around the pandemic's impact on the Company's business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows could cause actual results to differ from this outlook.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the information included in this release is derived from Alcoa Corp.'s consolidated financial information but is not presented in Alcoa Corp.'s financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Certain of these data are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" under SEC regulations. Alcoa Corp. believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because such measures provide both additional information about the operating performance of Alcoa Corp. and insight on the ability of Alcoa Corp. 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. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and management's rationale for the use of the non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the schedules to this release.

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

(1)

The production amounts can vary from total shipments due primarily to differences between the equity allocation of production and off-take agreements with the respective equity investment.

(2)

Alcoa Corp.'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.

(3)

Until the sale of the Warrick Rolling Mill on March 31, 2021, the Aluminum segment's third-party aluminum shipments were composed of both primary aluminum and flat-rolled aluminum. Beginning April 1, 2021, the segment's third-party aluminum shipments include only primary aluminum.

(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 impact Cost of goods sold and other expenses on Alcoa Corp.'s Statement of Consolidated Operations that are not included in the Adjusted EBITDA of the reportable segments.

Net income (loss) attributable to Alcoa Corp. - as adjusted is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of Alcoa Corp. 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 income (loss) attributable to Alcoa Corp. determined under GAAP as well as Net income (loss) attributable to Alcoa Corp. - as adjusted.

(1)

Other special items include the following:

  • for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, a charge for debt redemption expenses ($22), a net unfavorable change in certain mark-to-market energy derivative instruments ($9), net gains on asset sales ($8), and a net charge from other special items ($3);
  • for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, gains on asset sales ($96), primarily related to the former Eastalco site sale, a charge for debt redemption expenses ($32), and a net benefit from other special items ($1); and,
  • for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, costs related to the restart process at the Bécancour, Canada smelter ($7), a net unfavorable change in certain mark-to-market energy derivative instruments ($4), and external costs related to portfolio actions ($3).

(2)

Discrete tax items and interim tax impacts are the result of discrete transactions and interim period tax impacts based on full-year assumptions and include the following:

  • for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, a net charge for discrete tax items ($1); and,
  • for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, a net benefit of interim tax impacts ($182) and a net benefit of several other 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 given period, the average number of shares applicable to diluted EPS for Net income (loss) attributable to Alcoa Corp. common shareholders may exclude certain share equivalents as their effect is anti-dilutive. For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, all share equivalents had an anti-dilutive effect, and therefore, are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation.

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 Corp.'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, 2021, external costs related to portfolio actions ($1) and costs related to the closure of the Lake Charles anode facility ($1);
  • for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, external costs related to portfolio actions ($1); and,
  • for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, costs related to the restart process at the Bécancour, Canada smelter ($7) and external costs related to portfolio actions ($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 Corp.'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.

(1)

Cash provided from (used for) operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 includes a $500 cash outflow for unscheduled contributions to certain U.S. defined benefit pension plans. The $500 was funded with the net proceeds of 4.125% senior notes due 2029, together with cash on hand.

Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management assesses Alcoa Corp.'s leverage position after considering available cash that could be used to repay outstanding debt.

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 Corp.'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).
