Alcoa Corporation Announces Support for its Gallium Critical Mineral Development Project in Western Australia Alcoa Corporation welcomes the announcement of the United States and Australian governments to advance the development of a gallium plant to be co-located at the Company's Wagerup alumina refinery in Western Australia. This latest development follows support given for the project from Japan Australia Gallium Associates Pty Ltd. ("JAGA"), a joint venture between the Japanese Government and Sojitz Corporation ("Sojitz"), through a Joint Development Agreement ("JDA") with Alcoa announced in August 2025. Following completion of feasibility assessments, Alcoa expects that a joint U.S., Australia and Alcoa special purpose vehicle ("SPV") would enter into the joint venture with JAGA to construct a gallium plant. The plant, which would be operated by Alcoa, would be expected to produce 100 metric tons of gallium annually. Under the terms of the non-binding agreement, the U.S. and Australian governments and Alcoa would provide capital to the SPV and receive gallium offtake in proportion to their interests. Among other purposes, the capital would be used for preparation of final feasibility studies, and the development and construction of the project. Definitive agreements for the gallium joint venture will be prepared among the governments of the United States, Australia and Japan, and Alcoa and Sojitz. Gallium is naturally present in bauxite, the raw material used in the production of alumina, and can be extracted during the refining process. Gallium is a critical mineral essential to technology, especially the semiconductor industry and defense sectors and is recognized as vital to national security by the United States,Australia and Japan. Globally, gallium production is concentrated from a single source, and market controls have heightened interest in establishing and securing alternate supply chains. Alcoa will continue to work cooperatively with the Western Australian Government to progress the project under the State Agreement and approvals framework. The parties are targeting 2026 for final investment decision and production. Announcement • Sep 30
Alcoa Corporation Announces Closure of Kwinana Alumina Refinery in Western Australia Alcoa Corporation announced that it will permanently close its Kwinana alumina refinery in Western Australia. This decision follows the curtailment of production at the refinery in June 2024. Alcoa has undertaken numerous studies and analyses since curtailment to determine the future of the refinery, including restart and closure. Multiple factors led to the decision to permanently close the refinery, including the age of the facility, scale and operating costs, market conditions and bauxite grade challenges. Alcoa will work with relevant stakeholders on a safe and responsible closure of the refinery and associated residue storage areas. Additionally, Alcoa will begin to prepare the site for new economic development opportunities, and as part of this, the Company will work with the Western Australian State Government on potential future land use options. Alcoa's port and associated rail facilities at Kwinana will continue to operate, as will Alcoa's strategically important other Western Australian and Victorian operations. The Kwinana refinery currently has approximately 220 employees; this number will be reduced during 2026 as the closure progresses. Certain employees will remain beyond 2026 to prepare the site for future redevelopment. Associated severance costs were previously recorded in the first quarter of 2024.Permanently closing Kwinana's 2.2 million metric tons of annual capacity will bring Alcoa's global consolidated refining capacity to 11.7 million metric tons. While the restructuring charge decreases the Company's annualized effective tax rate, Alcoa's defined operational tax expense includes the interim tax impacts required under GAAP, which has the effect of smoothing tax provisioned across quarters, resulting in a lower tax benefit in the third quarter. As a consequence, the fourth quarter operational tax expense will be lower. Announcement • Sep 22

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 24% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk.

Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 17% per year for the foreseeable future.

All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (45% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risk Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (US$1.0m sold). Announcement • Dec 30

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of British stocks, typically moving 6.8% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Reported Earnings • Jul 18

Alcoa Provides Production Guidance for the Year 2024 Alcoa provided production guidance for the year 2024. 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.

Alcoa Corporation Announces Curtailment of Kwinana Alumina Refinery in Western Australia Alcoa Corporation announced it plans to fully curtail production in 2024 at its Kwinana Alumina Refinery in Western Australia, with the process beginning in the second quarter. The Kwinana refinery has an annual nameplate production capacity of 2.2 million metric tons. The refinery has been operating at approximately 80% of its nameplate capacity since January of 2023. The curtailment will include a phased reduction of the workforce from around 800 employees at the start of 2024 to approximately 250 in the third quarter of this year, when all alumina production will cease. Certain processes, however, will continue until about the third quarter of 2025, when employee numbers will be further reduced to approximately 50. The refinery and associated residue storage facilities will continue to be actively managed. Alcoa’s port facilities located alongside the refinery will continue to operate to import raw materials and export alumina produced at the Company’s Pinjarra Alumina Refinery. Production at the Pinjarra and Wagerup refineries is not expected to be impacted by the curtailment at Kwinana. Announcement • Dec 28

Alcoa Corporation Welcomes Decisions That Support Western Australian Operations Alcoa Corporation welcomed decisions from the Western Australian (WA) Government that will allow the Company to continue bauxite mining and downstream alumina refineries in the State, while also pledging to enhance the way it operates to meet evolving requirements and expectations. The government has announced that it will approve Alcoa's latest five-year mine plan known as the 2023-2027 Mining and Management Program (MMP) for its Huntly and Willowdale bauxite mines. In addition, the government has granted an exemption that will allow Alcoa to continue its mining operations if the WA Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) decides to undertake a separate environmental impact assessment on all or parts of the MMP. The EPA's determination is expected by year end. Alcoa will be subject to a range of stringent conditions addressing key environmental factors that will include enhanced protections for drinking water, including increased distances from reservoirs, and biodiversity along with accelerated forest rehabilitation. At the request of the State, the Company will also provide a AUD 100 million (approx. USD 66 million) guarantee, demonstrating Alcoa's confidence that its operations will not impair drinking water supplies. Clearing for mining in the Northern Jarrah Forest will be capped at 800 hectares per year and the current rate of rehabilitation will double to reach 1,000 hectares per year by 2027. Separately, Alcoa has committed to work with the WA Government to modernize the State Agreements and the approvals framework for its two bauxite mines and three alumina ref refinery in the State. This includes transitioning all proposed new major mining regions to the more contemporary EPA assessment and approvals process. Alcoa started this process in 2020, when it referred its next two proposed mine regions (Myara North and Holyoake) for EPA assessment. These commitments are in addition to Alcoa's earlier decisions to forgo mining around the forest towns of Dwellingup and Jarrahdale to enhance protections for lifestyle and recreation values. The new MMP will support mining at Alcoa's current Myara and Larego regions at its Huntly and Willowdale mines. It does not affect the EPA environmental impact assessment already underway for Myara North and Holyoake, the two proposed new mine regions. That assessment is continuing with mining in these new regions not expected to occur any earlier than 2027. Until then, Alcoa expects bauxite quality to be similar to recently reduced grades. Bauxite quality at Myara North and Holyoakes is expected to be consistent with historic higher grades. Upcoming Dividend • Oct 23
