Insights
The reported financials by Alcoa Corporation reflect a challenging fiscal environment, evidenced by a significant net loss both for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2023. The net loss of $651 million for the year compared to $123 million in the prior year suggests a substantial decline in profitability. This is further emphasized by a 76 percent decrease in Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items. The combination of lower realized prices for aluminum and alumina and higher production costs have been detrimental to the company's bottom line.
Investors should note the sequential improvement in Adjusted EBITDA in Q4, which may be an indicator of effective cost management strategies being implemented. However, the impact of carbon dioxide compensation changes in Norway and the write-down of deferred tax assets in Brazil are factors that have negatively influenced the financial results. The company's liquidity position, with a cash balance of $944 million, provides some cushion against operational challenges.
Looking ahead, the company's productivity and competitiveness program targeting a 5 percent reduction in operating costs could be a key driver for future profitability. The amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility to adjust financial covenants also indicates proactive financial management. However, the curtailment of the Kwinana refinery and continued challenges at the San Ciprián complex could pose risks to future performance.
Alcoa's operational decisions, such as the approval for continued bauxite mining in Western Australia, the restart of smelting capacity at Warrick Operations and the engagement with Spanish stakeholders for the San Ciprián complex, are strategic moves that could influence the company's market position. The exemption granted by the WA Government allows continuity in operations, which is crucial for maintaining production levels.
The clarification on the qualification for the Section 45X of the Inflation Reduction Act and the associated tax credit recorded could provide a competitive edge to Alcoa's U.S. operations by reducing the cost of goods sold. This incentive aligns with broader industry trends towards sustainable manufacturing practices and could enhance Alcoa's appeal to environmentally conscious investors.
From a market perspective, the decline in alumina and aluminum prices and the associated decrease in revenues by 15 percent year-over-year must be contextualized within the global commodities market fluctuations. Alcoa's ability to navigate this volatility will be critical for its market performance. The 2024 outlook suggests a cautious approach, with production and shipments expected to remain consistent or slightly improve, contingent on market conditions and the company's operational efficiency.
Alcoa's financial results are indicative of broader economic pressures facing the aluminum industry, including fluctuating commodity prices and energy costs. The company's performance is intertwined with global economic conditions, including trade dynamics and industrial demand. The substantial net loss and reduced EBITDA highlight the sensitivity of Alcoa's operations to these external factors.
The company's strategic actions, such as curtailing unprofitable operations and investing in competitive assets, are reflective of a response to these economic pressures. The focus on operational stability and asset portfolio improvement is a prudent approach in the face of uncertain economic conditions. Alcoa's engagement with policy developments, such as the IRA 45X credit, also demonstrates an adaptive strategy to leverage fiscal incentives for operational benefits.
Investors should be aware of the potential long-term implications of the company's strategic decisions, including the curtailing of the Kwinana refinery and the impact of energy policy changes, such as the Norwegian government's carbon dioxide compensation limits. These actions, while necessary for short-term financial stability, could influence Alcoa's future growth trajectory and its position in the global aluminum market.

-
Production: Alumina production decreased 13 percent annually primarily due to lower grade bauxite at the
Australia refineries and partial curtailments at the San Ciprián refinery inSpain and the Kwinana refinery inAustralia . Aluminum production increased 5 percent annually, primarily due to the restart of the Alumar smelter inBrazil .
-
Shipments: In the Alumina segment, third-party shipments of alumina decreased 5 percent primarily due to reduced production at the
Australia refineries and the San Ciprián refinery, partially offset by increased trading opportunities.
In Aluminum, total shipments decreased 3 percent annually primarily due to reduced production at the San Ciprián and Lista smelters and decreased trading opportunities, partially offset by higher shipments due to the Alumar smelter restart.

- Working capital: The Company reported 39 days working capital, a year-over-year improvement of eleven days. The change primarily relates to a decrease of seven days in inventory primarily due to lower volumes and prices for raw materials and a decrease of four days in accounts receivable primarily due to lower pricing for aluminum and favorable receivables collection terms.
Key Strategic Actions
Operational
-
WA mine approvals: In December 2023, the Western Australian (WA) Government approved Alcoa’s latest five-year mine plan – known as the 2023-2027 Mining and Management Program (MMP) – for its Huntly and Willowdale bauxite mines. The approvals include operating enhancements to meet evolving requirements and expectations. In addition, the WA Government granted an exemption that allows Alcoa to continue its mining operations while the WA Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) assesses the environmental impact on parts of the MMP.
-
Kwinana refinery: On January 8, 2024, the Company announced the decision to curtail the Kwinana refinery in
Australia beginning in the second quarter of 2024.
-
San Ciprián complex: In December 2023, the Company initiated engagement with Spanish stakeholders at the San Ciprián complex regarding financial losses and to find a long-term solution for the combined complex.
Since the smelter curtailed in January 2022, the Company has honored its commitments under the viability agreements signed in December 2021 and February 2023, including paying all employees, making capital investments, and preparing for restart. However, current market conditions, including the cost for energy, do not support an economically viable restart. Further, permitting and development of renewable energy projects, which were a critical component of the restart, have been delayed. The refinery and smelter incurred significant losses in 2023 and prior years which have been funded with internal credit lines that are now nearing their limits, and which the operations have no ability to repay.
-
Warrick Operations: During the fourth quarter 2023, the Company took actions to improve the competitiveness of its Warrick Operations site in
Indiana . Alcoa began the restart of one line (54,000 mtpy) that was curtailed in July 2022, and also began the closure of a line (54,000 mtpy) that had not operated since 2016 to allow for future capital investments to improve casting capabilities. Restructuring charges related to the closure totaled$1 million $1 million
Financial
-
Productivity and competitiveness programs: In January 2024, the Company initiated a productivity and competitiveness program across its global operations and functions. The program is a first step in the Company’s objective to improve competitiveness and includes a target to save approximately 5 percent of operating costs, exclusive of raw materials, energy and transportation costs which are already under active management and cost control programs. Total savings are expected to approximate
$100 million
- Revolving Credit Facility: On January 17, 2024, Alcoa amended its Revolving Credit Facility to provide the Company flexibility to implement its portfolio actions during 2024; terms include a temporary reduction of the minimum interest coverage ratio required thereunder from 4.00 to 1.00 to 3.00 to 1.00, and an increase to the maximum addback for cash restructuring charges to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility), in each case for the 2024 fiscal year. In connection with the amendment, Alcoa also agreed to provide collateral for its obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, with a ratings-based release mechanism that would apply starting in 2025.
2024 Outlook
The following outlook does not include 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, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
For 2024, the Company is providing an outlook for both production and shipments for both segments. Alcoa expects alumina production to range between 9.8 and 10.0 million metric tons and alumina shipments to range between 12.7 and 12.9 million metric tons in 2024. The difference between production and shipments reflects trading volumes and externally sourced alumina to fulfill customer contracts due to the curtailment of the Kwinana refinery. The Aluminum segment is expected to produce 2.2 to 2.3 million metric tons, an increase from 2023 due to smelter restarts. Aluminum shipments are expected to be between 2.5 million and 2.6 million metric tons, consistent with 2023, as increased shipments from smelter restarts are offset by lower trading volumes.
Within first quarter 2024 Alumina Segment Adjusted EBITDA, the Company expects approximately

Based on current alumina and aluminum market conditions, Alcoa expects negligible first quarter operational tax expense, which may vary with market conditions and jurisdictional profitability.

| 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 attributable to Alcoa Corporation – as adjusted and Diluted EPS – as adjusted are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these measures are 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 Net loss attributable to Alcoa Corporation and Diluted EPS determined under GAAP as well as Net loss attributable to Alcoa Corporation – as adjusted and Diluted EPS – as adjusted. | ||
|
||
(1) |
Other special items include the following: |
|
|
||
(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: |
|
|
||
(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 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. | ||

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 necessary to maintain and expand Alcoa Corporation’s asset base and are 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. |
