Segment Information

Alcoa Corporation is a producer of bauxite, alumina, and aluminum products. The Company has two operating and reportable segments: (i) Alumina and (ii) Aluminum. The primary measure of performance reported to Alcoa Corporation’s President and Chief Executive Officer, identified as the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM), is Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) for each segment.

The Company calculates Segment Adjusted EBITDA as Total sales (third-party and intersegment) minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; and Research and development expenses. Alcoa Corporation’s Segment Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The CODM regularly reviews Segment Adjusted EBITDA to assess performance and allocate resources (including employees, property, and financial or capital resources) in the planning and strategic review process. The CODM evaluates actual results versus the annual plan, most recent forecast, and prior period results when making decisions about allocating resources.

Segment assets include, among others, customer receivables (third-party and intersegment), inventories, properties, plants, and equipment, and equity investments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (see Note B). Transactions between segments are established based on negotiation between the parties. Differences between segment totals and Alcoa Corporation’s consolidated totals for line items not reconciled are in Corporate.

The following are detailed descriptions of Alcoa Corporation’s reportable segments:

Alumina. This segment represents the Company’s global bauxite mining operations and worldwide refining system, which processes bauxite into alumina.

A portion of this segment’s bauxite production represents the offtake from an equity method investment in Guinea, as well as Alcoa’s share of bauxite production related to an equity investment in Saudi Arabia (prior to the sale of Alcoa’s interest in the Saudi Arabia joint venture in July 2025). Bauxite mined is primarily used internally within the Alumina segment; a portion of the bauxite is sold to external customers. Bauxite sales to third-parties are conducted on a contract basis.

The alumina produced by this segment is sold primarily to internal and external aluminum smelter customers; a portion of the alumina is sold to external customers who process it into industrial chemical products. Approximately two-thirds of Alumina’s production is sold under supply contracts to third parties worldwide, while the remainder is used internally by the Aluminum segment. Alumina produced by this segment and used internally is transferred to the Aluminum segment at prevailing market prices. A portion of this segment’s third-party sales are completed through alumina traders.

Generally, this segment’s sales are transacted in U.S. dollars while costs and expenses are transacted in the local currency of the respective operations, which are the Australian dollar, the Brazilian real, and the euro.

This segment also included Alcoa’s 25.1% ownership interest in a mining and refining joint venture company in Saudi Arabia prior to the sale of Alcoa’s interest on July 1, 2025 (see Note C and Note H).

Aluminum. This segment consists of the Company’s (i) worldwide smelting and casthouse system, which processes alumina into primary aluminum, and (ii) portfolio of energy assets in Brazil, Canada, and the United States.

Aluminum’s combined smelting and casting operations produce primary aluminum products, nearly all of which are sold to external customers and traders. The smelting operations produce molten primary aluminum, which is then formed by the casting operations into either commodity grade ingot (e.g., t-bar, sow, standard ingot) or into value-add ingot products (e.g., foundry, billet, rod, and slab). A variety of external customers purchase the primary aluminum products for use in fabrication operations, which produce products primarily for the transportation, building and construction, packaging, wire, and other industrial markets. Results from the sale of aluminum powder and scrap are also included in this segment, as well as the impacts of embedded aluminum derivatives (see Note P) related to power contracts.

The energy assets supply power to external customers in Brazil and the United States, as well as internal customers in the Aluminum segment (Warrick (Indiana) smelter and Baie-Comeau (Canada) smelter) and, to a lesser extent, the Alumina segment (Brazilian refineries).

Generally, this segment’s aluminum sales are transacted in U.S. dollars while costs and expenses of this segment are transacted in the local currency of the respective operations, which are the Canadian dollar, the U.S. dollar, the Icelandic króna, the Brazilian real, the Norwegian krone, the Australian dollar, and the euro.

This segment also included Alcoa Corporation’s 25.1% ownership interest in a smelting joint venture company in Saudi Arabia prior to the sale of Alcoa’s interest on July 1, 2025 (see Note C and Note H).

Product Information

Alcoa Corporation has four product divisions as follows:

Bauxite—Bauxite is a reddish clay rock that is mined from the surface of the earth’s terrain. This ore is the basic raw material used to produce alumina and is the primary source of aluminum.

Alumina—Alumina is an oxide that is extracted from bauxite and is the basic raw material used to produce primary aluminum. This product can also be consumed for non-metallurgical purposes, such as industrial chemical products.

Primary aluminum—Primary aluminum is metal in the form of a commodity grade ingot or a value-add ingot (e.g., foundry, billet, rod, and slab). These products are sold primarily to customers that produce products for the transportation, building and construction, packaging, wire, and other industrial markets, and traders.

Energy—Energy is the generation of electricity, which is sold in the wholesale market to traders, large industrial consumers, distribution companies, and other generation companies.

For the Company’s Energy product division, sales of electricity are based on current market prices. Electricity is provided to customers on demand through a national or regional power grid; the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the electricity. Payment terms are generally within 10 days related to the previous 30 days of electricity consumption.
