Forward guidance
Alcoa anticipates higher profitability in the Bauxite segment due to increased shipments driven by improved refinery demand. However, increased shipments in Alumina and Aluminum are not expected to offset higher energy and raw material costs. The Warrick line curtailment is projected to negatively impact net income by approximately $20 million in the third quarter.
Tailwinds
- Higher sequential profitability expected in the Bauxite segment with increased shipments.
- Refinery demand is expected to improve in the third quarter, boosting Bauxite segment profitability.
- Total Aluminum segment shipments to remain unchanged from the prior forecast, ranging between 2.5 and 2.6 million metric tons in 2022.
- Additional casting capability to produce standard ingots at the Deschambault smelter in Quebec, Canada
- The Warrick smelter in Indiana was curtailed due to operational challenges
Headwinds
- Shipments in Alumina and Aluminum are expected to increase but will not fully offset higher costs for energy and raw materials.
- Anticipates an approximately $20 million negative impact to net income in the third quarter as a result of the Warrick line curtailment.
- The decrease in production volume at the San Ciprián refinery reduces the impact of the continuing rise in natural gas prices but is not expected to improve net income significantly on a sequential basis.
- The Company has decreased its 2022 projection for annual bauxite shipments to range between 44.0 and 45.0 million dry metric tons
- The Company has decreased its 2022 projection for shipments to range between 13.6 and 13.8 million metric tons
