Forward Guidance
For the second quarter 2022, based on current prices, Alcoa expects both alumina and aluminum realized third-party prices to be higher than the first quarter, with that benefit partly offset by approximately $115 million of higher energy and raw materials costs. Higher shipments sequentially are expected to more than offset remaining cost pressures and other factors. Based on current alumina and aluminum market conditions, the Company expects second quarter tax expense to approximate $220 million to $230 million, which may vary with market conditions and jurisdictional profitability.
