On January 1, 2018, Alcoa Corporation adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board to the presentation of net periodic benefit cost related to pension and other postretirement benefit plans.
This guidance requires the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost to be reported separately from the
service cost component in an entity’s income statement. Additionally, this guidance is required to be applied
retrospectively. Accordingly, previously reported amounts for Cost of goods sold, Selling, general administrative, and other
expenses, and Other expenses (income), net on Alcoa Corporation’s consolidated income statement have been recast to reflect
these changes. As a result, previously reported amounts for Adjusted EBITDA on both a consolidated basis and for each of the
Company’s three segments have been updated to reflect these changes. See the financial schedules to this release for
additional information.

Alcoa Corporation (NYSE: AA), a global leader in bauxite, alumina, and aluminum products, today reported third quarter 2018
results and announced a $200 million common stock repurchase program as part of the Company’s 2018 capital allocation
framework.
In the third quarter of 2018, Alcoa also used $194 million in available cash to further reduce its net pension liability and
debt and finished the quarter with a cash balance of $1.0 billion on September 30, 2018. This year, the Company has reduced its net
pension and OPEB liability to $2.2 billion as of September 30, down from $3.5 billion at year-end 2017.
“Today’s stock buyback announcement, our smaller net pension and OPEB liability, and our results since launching Alcoa
Corporation nearly two years ago all point to the success of our strategic priorities,” said President and Chief Executive Officer
Roy Harvey.
“By reducing complexity, driving returns, and strengthening the balance sheet, we’ve made Alcoa a much stronger company even as
commodity markets remain volatile,” Harvey said. “We’re pleased to announce a program to return cash to stockholders, and we look
forward to improving our Company further as 2018 comes to an end.”
Alcoa tightened the Company’s projection for full-year adjusted EBITDA excluding special items to range between $3.1 billion and
$3.2 billion.1 The low end of the forecast is $100 million higher than the prior quarter’s estimate. The updated outlook
reflects recent market prices, including regional premiums, costs of raw materials, energy, and expected operational
performance.
In third quarter 2018, Alcoa reported a net loss of $41 million, or $0.22 per share, compared to net income of $75 million, or
$0.39 per share, in second quarter 2018. The third quarter results include a negative impact of $160 million for special items, due
primarily to a $174 million net settlement charge (non-cash) from
additional actions on U.S. pension and OPEB obligations.
Excluding the impact of special items, third quarter 2018 adjusted net income was $119 million, or $0.63 per share, down 58
percent sequentially from $286 million, or $1.52 per share.
In third quarter 2018, Alcoa reported $795 million of adjusted EBITDA excluding special items, down 12 percent from $904 million
in second quarter 2018, primarily due to lower aluminum prices.
Alcoa reported third quarter 2018 revenue of $3.4 billion, down 5 percent sequentially, primarily due to lower realized aluminum
prices and decreased aluminum product shipments, somewhat offset by higher realized alumina prices and favorable pricing for energy
sales.
Cash from operations was $288 million and free cash flow was $206 million; both reflect $100 million in additional contributions
made to certain U.S. defined benefit pension plans in the quarter. Also in the third quarter of 2018, cash used for financing
activities was $280 million, which includes $94 million for the early repayment of the majority of the remaining outstanding loans
from Brazil’s National Bank for Economic and Social Development, and cash used for investing activities was $83 million.
Alcoa ended the quarter on September 30 with cash on hand of $1.0 billion and debt of $1.8 billion, for net debt of $0.8
billion. The Company reported 26 days working capital, a 9-day increase from third quarter 2017, reflecting higher raw material
costs in inventory and lower days payable outstanding.
Common Stock Repurchase Program
The Company today announced that its Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program under which Alcoa may
purchase up to $200 million of its outstanding common stock, depending on cash flow availability, market conditions, and other
factors. This program does not have a predetermined expiration date.
The Company intends to retire the repurchased shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had 186,490,966
issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
Market Update
The Company continues to project a full-year 2018 global deficit for both aluminum and alumina and a surplus for bauxite.
In aluminum, the Company expects a global deficit ranging between 1.0 million and 1.4 million metric tons, down from last
quarter’s estimate of between 1.1 million and 1.5 million metric tons. Global aluminum demand growth is projected to be between
3.75 and 4.75 percent in 2018, down from the second quarter estimate of between 4.25 and 5.25 percent, driven by China.
In alumina, Alcoa is projecting a higher global deficit of between 400 thousand and 1.2 million metric tons, compared to last
quarter’s deficit expectation of between 200 thousand and 1.0 million metric tons.
The global market for bauxite is expected to be in a surplus for full year 2018 with increased stockpile growth despite higher
demand from China.
Spain Collective Dismissal Process
Alcoa today announced its intention to begin a formal consultation process for collective dismissals that would affect all
employees at its Avilés and La Coruña aluminum plants in Spain, which are the least productive within the Alcoa system due to their
inherent structural issues. Avilés employs 317 employees and La Coruña 369. Per Spanish law, Alcoa will initiate a mandatory 30-day
consultation period with the workers’ representatives to achieve the best possible outcome for the Company and its workforce.
An analysis of Alcoa’s operations in Spain found that organizational improvements could be achieved if the Company ceased
production at its Avilés and La Coruña facilities and reorganized production at a single plant in San Ciprián, which produces both
alumina and aluminum.
Organizational Changes
To further support Alcoa’s operations and the Company’s operator-centric approach, Alcoa announces that, effective November 1,
2018, the presidents of its Bauxite, Alumina, and Aluminum segments will report to Harvey.
As of the same date, Tómas Sigurðsson will assume the role of Senior Vice President, Strategic Alliances. Sigurðsson, who will
continue to report to Harvey, will have primary responsibility for managing and developing the Company’s key strategic
relationships. Sigurðsson will no longer serve as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, and the role will be eliminated.
Conference Call
Alcoa will hold its quarterly conference call at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on Wednesday, October 17, to present
third quarter 2018 financial results and discuss the business, the capital allocation program and market conditions.
The call will be webcast via the Company’s homepage on
www.alcoa.com. Presentation materials for the call will be available for viewing on the same website at approximately 4:15 p.m.
EDT on October 17. Call information and related details are available under the “Investors” section of
www.alcoa.com.
Dissemination of Company Information
Alcoa intends to make future announcements regarding company developments and financial performance through its website,
www.alcoa.com.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements that relate to future events and expectations and, as such, constitute forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include those
containing such words as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “goal,” “intends,” “may,”
“outlook,” “plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “sees,” “should,” “targets,” “will,” “would,” or other words of similar meaning. All
statements by Alcoa Corporation that reflect expectations, assumptions or projections about the future, other than statements of
historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, forecasts concerning global demand growth for
bauxite, alumina, and aluminum, and supply/demand balances; statements, projections or forecasts of future or targeted financial
results or operating performance; statements about strategies, outlook, and business and financial prospects; and statements about
return of capital. These statements reflect beliefs and assumptions that are based on Alcoa Corporation’s perception of historical
trends, current conditions, and expected future developments, as well as other factors that management believes are appropriate in
the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Although Alcoa Corporation believes that the
expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that these
expectations will be attained and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these
forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to: (a) material adverse changes in aluminum industry conditions, including global supply and demand conditions and fluctuations in
London Metal Exchange-based prices and premiums, as applicable, for primary aluminum and other products, and fluctuations in
indexed-based and spot prices for alumina; (b) deterioration in global economic and financial market conditions generally; (c)
unfavorable changes in the markets served by Alcoa Corporation; (d) the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on
costs and results; (e) increases in energy costs; (f) declines in the discount rates used to measure pension liabilities or
lower-than-expected investment returns on pension assets, or unfavorable changes in laws or regulations that govern pension plan
funding; (g) the inability to achieve improvement in profitability and margins, cost savings, cash generation, revenue growth,
fiscal discipline, or strengthening of competitiveness and operations anticipated from operational and productivity improvements,
cash sustainability, technology advancements, and other initiatives; (h) the inability to realize expected benefits, in each case
as planned and by targeted completion dates, from acquisitions, divestitures, facility closures, curtailments, restarts,
expansions, or joint ventures; (i) political, economic, trade, and regulatory risks in the countries in which Alcoa Corporation
operates or sells products; (j) labor disputes and work stoppages; (k) the outcome of contingencies, including legal proceedings,
government or regulatory investigations, and environmental remediation; (l) the impact of cyberattacks and potential information
technology or data security breaches; and (m) the other risk factors described in Item 1A of Alcoa Corporation’s Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and other reports filed by Alcoa Corporation with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). Alcoa Corporation disclaims any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new
information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Market projections are subject to the risks
described above and other risks in the market.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the information included in this release is derived from Alcoa Corporation’s consolidated financial information but is
not presented in Alcoa Corporation’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 Corporation 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 Corporation and insight on the ability of Alcoa
Corporation 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.
This release includes a range of forecasted 2018 Adjusted EBITDA for the Company. Alcoa Corporation has not provided a
reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for the
following reasons. The Company’s financial results are heavily dependent on market-driven factors, such as LME-based prices for
aluminum, index- and spot-based prices for alumina, and foreign currency exchange rates. As such, the Company may experience
significant volatility on a daily basis related to its forecasted Adjusted EBITDA. Management applies estimated sensitivities, such
as those relating to aluminum and alumina prices and foreign currency exchange rates, to the components that comprise Adjusted
EBITDA. However, a similar analysis cannot be performed relating to the components necessary to reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to the
most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort due to the additional variability and complexity
associated with forecasting such items. Consequently, management believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision
that would be confusing and/or potentially misleading to investors.

On January 1, 2018, Alcoa Corporation adopted guidance issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board to the presentation of net periodic benefit cost related to pension and other postretirement benefit
plans. This guidance requires that an entity report the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same line
item(s) on its income statement as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during a
reporting period. The other components of net periodic benefit cost (see Note N to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included in Part II Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017) are required to be
reported separately from the service cost component. In other words, these other components may be aggregated and presented as
a separate line item or they may be reported in existing line items on the income statement other than such line items that
include the service cost component. Previously, Alcoa Corporation reported all components of net periodic benefit cost, except
for certain settlements, curtailments, and special termination benefits, in Cost of goods sold (business employees) and
Selling, general administrative, and other expenses (corporate employees) consistent with the location of other compensation
costs related to the respective employees. The non-service cost components noted as exceptions are reported in Restructuring
and other charges, as applicable. Upon adoption of this guidance, management began reporting the non-service cost components of
net periodic benefit cost, except for certain settlements, curtailments, and special termination benefits that will continue to
be reported in Restructuring and other charges, in Other expenses, net on the Company’s Statement of Consolidated Operations.
For the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the non-service cost components reported in Other expenses, net
was $32 and $39, respectively. Additionally, the Statement of Consolidated Operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2017
was recast to reflect the reclassification of the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost to Other expenses,
net from both Cost of goods sold and Selling, general administrative, and other expenses. As a result, for the quarter ended
September 30, 2017, Cost of goods sold decreased by $21 and Other expenses, net changed by $21 from previously reported amounts
(the decrease to Selling, general administrative, and other expenses was not material). |

the reclassification of the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost to Other (income), net from both Cost of

Cost of goods sold decreased by $61, Selling, general administrative, and other expenses decreased by $3, and Other (income),
net changed by $64 from previously reported amounts. |

On May 17, 2018, Alcoa Nederland Holding B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alcoa
Corporation, issued $500 in 6.125% senior notes due 2028. The gross proceeds from the debt issuance were used to make
discretionary contributions to three of Alcoa Corporation’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans. Accordingly, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2018, the Pension contributions line item includes a cash outflow of $500 and the Additions to debt
line item includes a cash inflow of $492 (net of an $8 initial purchasers discount). |

|
On November 1, 2016, Alcoa Corporation separated from its former parent company (now
named Arconic Inc.) into a standalone, publicly-traded company. In accordance with the terms of the related Separation and
Distribution Agreement, Alcoa Corporation paid to Arconic Inc. the net after-tax proceeds of $243 from the sale of the Yadkin
Hydroelectric Project. |

On January 1, 2018, Alcoa Corporation adopted guidance issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board to the presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires that
restricted cash be aggregated with cash and cash equivalents in both the beginning-of-period and end-of-period line items at
the bottom of the statement of cash flows. Previously, the change in restricted cash between the beginning-of-period and end-of
period was reflected as either an investing, financing, operating, or non-cash activity based on the underlying nature of the
transaction. Accordingly, for the Company’s Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018,
the Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of year and Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at end
of period line items include restricted cash of $7 and $4, respectively. Additionally, the Company’s Statement of Consolidated
Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was recast to reflect this change in presentation. As a result, the
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of year and Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of
period line items include restricted cash of $6 and $8, respectively. The change of $2 is reflected in the Effect of exchange
rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash line item. |

| The difference between segment totals and consolidated amounts is in
Corporate. |
| |
| (1) |
|
The production amounts do not include additional bauxite (approximately 3 mdmt per
annum) that Alcoa World Alumina and Chemicals is entitled to receive (i.e. an amount in excess of its equity ownership
interest) from certain other partners at the mine in Guinea. |
|
|
|
| (2) |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| (3) |
|
On January 1, 2018, Alcoa Corporation adopted guidance issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board to the presentation of net periodic benefit cost related to pension and other postretirement benefit
plans. This guidance requires the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost to be reported separately from the
service cost component in an entity’s income statement. Additionally, this guidance is required to be applied retrospectively.
Accordingly, previously reported amounts for Cost of goods sold, Selling, general administrative, and other expenses, and Other
expenses (income), net on Alcoa Corporation’s Statement of Consolidated Operations have been recast to reflect these changes.
As a result, previously reported amounts for Adjusted EBITDA on both a consolidated basis and for each of the Company’s three
segments have been updated to reflect these changes. See footnote 1 to the Statement of Consolidated Operations included in
this release for additional information. |
|
|
|
| (4) |
|
The Aluminum segment’s third-party aluminum shipments are composed of both primary
aluminum and flat-rolled aluminum. |
|
|
|
| (5) |
|
Effective in the first quarter of 2018, management elected to change the presentation
of certain line items in the reconciliation of total segment Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net income (loss) attributable to
Alcoa Corporation to provide additional transparency to the nature of these reconciling items. Accordingly, Transformation (see
footnote 6), which was previously reported within Other, is presented as a separate line item. Additionally, Impact of LIFO
(last in, first out) and Metal price lag, which were previously reported as separate line items, are now combined and reported
in a new line item labeled Corporate inventory accounting (see footnote 7). Also, the impact of intersegment profit
eliminations, which was previously reported within Other, is reported in the new Corporate inventory accounting line item. The
applicable information for all prior periods presented was recast to reflect these changes. |
|
|
|
| (6) |
|
Transformation includes, among other items, the Adjusted EBITDA of previously closed
operations. |
|
|
|
| (7) |
|
Corporate inventory accounting is composed of the impacts of LIFO inventory
accounting, metal price lag, and intersegment profit eliminations. Metal price lag describes the timing difference created when
the average price of metal sold differs from the average cost of the metal when purchased by Alcoa Corporation’s rolled
aluminum operations. In general, when the price of metal increases, metal price lag is favorable, and when the price of metal
decreases, metal price lag is unfavorable. |
|
|
|
| (8) |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| (9) |
|
Other includes certain items that impact Cost of goods sold and Selling, general
administrative, and other expenses on Alcoa Corporation’s Statement of Consolidated Operations that are not included in the
Adjusted EBITDA of the reportable segments, including those described as “Other special items” (see footnote 2 to the
reconciliation of Adjusted Income within Calculation of Financial Measures included in this release). |

| Net income attributable to Alcoa Corporation – as adjusted is a non-GAAP
financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating
results of Alcoa Corporation excluding the impacts of restructuring and other charges, discrete 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 that it is appropriate to consider both Net income (loss)
attributable to Alcoa Corporation determined under GAAP as well as Net income attributable to Alcoa Corporation – as
adjusted. |
| |
|
(1)
|
|
Discrete tax items include the following: |
|
•
|
|
for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, a net charge for several small items; |
|
•
|
|
for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, a net charge for several small items; and |
|
•
|
|
for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, a charge to establish a reserve related to
an outstanding income tax dispute involving a former Spanish consolidated tax group previously owned by Alcoa Corporation’s
former parent company ($30) and a net benefit for several small items ($4). |
|
|
|
|
(2)
|
|
Other special items include the following: |
|
•
|
|
for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, costs related to the partial restart of the
Warrick (Indiana) smelter ($17), settlement of legacy tax matters in Brazil ($11), a net unfavorable change in certain
mark-to-market energy derivative instruments ($11), a favorable tax impact related to the interim period treatment of
operational losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized ($8), an unfavorable impact due to the
near-term power market exposure as a result of renegotiating a hedging contract related to forecasted future spot market power
purchases for the Portland smelter ($8), and a favorable tax impact resulting from the difference between Alcoa’s consolidated
estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory rates applicable to special items ($3); |
|
•
|
|
for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, a loss on a contractor arbitration matter ($29),
a net unfavorable change in certain mark-to-market energy derivative instruments ($6), a favorable tax impact related to the
interim period treatment of operational losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized ($5), costs
related to the partial restart of the Warrick (Indiana) smelter ($2), and costs, primarily contractor services, related to a
work stoppage at a non-U.S. smelter ($2); and |
|
•
|
|
for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, a favorable tax impact resulting from the
difference between Alcoa’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate and the statutory rates applicable to special items
($47), an unfavorable tax impact related to the interim period treatment of operational losses in certain jurisdictions for
which no tax benefit was recognized ($9), a net favorable change in certain mark-to-market energy derivative instruments ($8),
costs, primarily contractor services, related to a work stoppage at a non-U.S. smelter ($3), and costs related to the partial
restart of the Warrick (Indiana) smelter ($1). |
|
|
|
|
(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 Corporation common shareholders may exclude certain share equivalents as their effect is
anti-dilutive. However, certain of these share equivalents may become dilutive in the EPS calculation applicable to Net income
attributable to Alcoa Corporation common shareholders – as adjusted due to a larger and/or positive numerator.
Specifically: |
|
•
|
|
for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, no additional share equivalents were
dilutive based on Net income attributable to Alcoa Corporation common shareholders – as adjusted, resulting in a diluted
average number of shares of 187,155,231; |
|
•
|
|
for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, no additional share equivalents were dilutive
based on Net income attributable to Alcoa Corporation common shareholders – as adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number
of shares of 188,708,013; and |
|
•
|
|
for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, share equivalents associated with
outstanding employee stock options and awards were dilutive based on Net income attributable to Alcoa Corporation common
shareholders – as adjusted, resulting in a diluted average number of shares of 188,726,446. |

| Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that
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 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. |
