18 Important information Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are in United States Dollar ( $ USD) . Non - GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains reference to certain financial measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) . Alcoa Corporation believes that the presentation of these 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 . Certain definitions, reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and additional details regarding management’s rationale for the use of the non - GAAP financial measures can be found in the appendix to this presentation . Alcoa Corporation does not provide reconciliations of the forward - looking non - GAAP financial measure NTM EBITDA as such amounts are based on Factset consensus estimates for the applicable periods and as such it is impractical to provide such reconciliations . See South 32 ’s publicly reported financial results for a discussion on South 32 ’s EBITDA definition . A reconciliation of South 32 ’s CY 2025 EBITDA to the most comparable International Financial Reporting Standards financial measure is not provided, as South 32 ’s publicly reported financial results reconcile this information at the group level . Resources This presentation can be found under the “Events & Presentations” tab of the “Investors” section of the Company’s website, www.alcoa.com . Dissemination of Company Information Alcoa Corporation intends to make future announcements regarding company developments and financial performance through its website, www.alcoa.com, as well as through press releases, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, conference calls, media broadcasts, and webcasts.
