Alcoa — Jul 16, 2026 release

The Company has decreased its 2026 projection for alumina production to range between 9.5 and 9.6 million metric tons, a reduction of between 0.2 and 0.3 million metric tons from the prior projection. The Company has also decreased its 2026 projection for alumina shipments to range between 11.5 and 11.6 million metric tons, a reduction of between 0.3 and 0.4 million metric tons from the prior projection. The reductions are primarily due to lower production at the Pinjarra refinery as instability that began in late March was further exacerbated by gas supply disruptions associated with Cyclone Narelle. The overall difference between production and shipments reflects trading volumes and externally sourced alumina to fulfill customer contracts. Alcoa expects 2026 total Aluminum segment production and shipments to remain unchanged from its prior projection, ranging between 2.4 and 2.6 million metric tons, and between 2.6 and 2.8 million metric tons, respectively. Within the third quarter 2026 Alumina Segment Adjusted EBITDA, the Company expects sequential favorable net impacts of approximately $10 million due to recovered stability at the Pinjarra refinery and lower energy prices, partially offset by planned maintenance at the Alumar refinery and Juruti mine in Brazil. For the third quarter 2026 Aluminum Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Alcoa expects sequential favorable impacts from efficiencies at higher production rates to fully offset higher carbon prices and seasonally lower third-party energy sales in Bra
