The higher sales in Q2 2024 were driven by **higher average realized prices** for both aluminum and alumina, **increased shipments** in the Aluminum segment, and **improved bauxite offtake and supply agreements**, which resulted in higher volumes and prices.  **[0000950170-24-084275_aa-ex99_1.htm:0]** **[0000950170-24-090092_aa-20240630.htm:44]** **[AA_3393411_2]** 

What factors contributed to the higher sales in Q2 2024?

The drastic swing in the income tax provision in **Q4 2023** is primarily due to a **full valuation allowance** of **$152 million** recorded against deferred tax assets—this action was taken after AWAB’s three-year cumulative losses led to doubts about the recovery of these assets. Additionally, the shift was reinforced by **lower income in taxable jurisdictions**, which further contributed to the increased tax expense from a **$(35) million benefit** in **Q3 2023** to a **$150 million provision** in **Q4 2023**.  **[0000950170-24-052174_aa-20240331.htm:36]** **[0000950170-24-018069_aa-20231231.htm:88]** 

Why did the income tax provision swing so drastically in Q4 2023?

The turnaround to positive net income in Q2 2024 was driven by **higher average realized prices for aluminum and alumina**, which boosted revenue and profitability. This was complemented by **lower restructuring charges**—since the significant $197 million charge recorded in Q1 did not recur in Q2—and by **favorable mark-to-market gains on derivative instruments** due to higher power prices. Additionally, **favorable equity earnings** from the Ma’aden aluminum joint venture and **lower production costs** also played key roles, although these benefits were partly offset by **higher taxes**, **unfavorable currency revaluation impacts**, and **increased interest expenses**.  **[0000950170-24-090092_aa-20240630.htm:44]** **[0000950170-24-084275_aa-ex99_1.htm:0]** **[0000950103-24-009837_dp214362_ex9901.htm:0]** **[0000950170-24-090092_aa-20240630.htm:45]** 

What drove the turnaround to positive net income in Q2 2024?

The improved net income attributable in Q3 2024 was primarily driven by **increased alumina prices**, **favorable currency revaluation impacts**, and the **absence of net income attributable to noncontrolling interest** for the full quarter. These positive factors, along with a sequential recovery from the previous quarter's performance, outweighed the partially offsetting impacts from **unfavorable mark-to-market results on derivative instruments**, **unfavorable equity earnings**, and **higher taxes on increased earnings**.  **[0000950170-24-119557_aa-20240930.htm:46]** 

What contributed to the improved net income attributable in Q3 2024?

The sharp increase in **Cash and Cash Equivalents** in Q1 2024 was primarily driven by a **net cash inflow from financing activities** of **$67 million**, which was mainly due to the drawdown of the syndicated facility. In addition, the company issued **$750 million in debt**, further bolstering liquidity. These positive financing effects more than offset the **net cash outflows from operating activities** of **$5.4 million** and **investing activities** of **$60.5 million** during the period.  **[0000950103-24-005425_dp209973_ex9901.htm:8]** **[0000950170-24-045115_aa-ex99_1.htm:11]** **[0001193125-24-142930_d827161dprem14a.htm:94]** **[0001193125-24-156116_d827161ddefm14a.htm:95]** **[AA_3379937_3]** 

What drove the sharp increase in Cash and Cash Equivalents in Q1 2024?

The higher Total Assets in Q3 2024 were driven by several factors. **Increased cash and cash equivalents** (rising from **$944 million** to **$1,313 million**) improved the company’s liquidity and overall asset strength.  **[0000950170-24-115018_aa-ex99_1.htm:11]** **[0000950170-24-119557_aa-20240930.htm:6]**  Additionally, the **Acquisition of Alumina Limited** expanded the asset base through new investments and operational assets.  **[0000950170-24-115018_aa-ex99_1.htm:0]** **[0000950170-24-119557_aa-20240930.htm:41]**  There were also **operational adjustments** where **receivables increased** from **$656 million** to **$862 million**, and **inventories experienced a slight decrease** from **$2,158 million** to **$2,096 million**, coupled with **minor fair value adjustments** of derivatives and other noncurrent assets that contributed to the overall change.  **[0000950170-24-115018_aa-ex99_1.htm:11]** **[0000950170-24-119557_aa-20240930.htm:6]** 

What factors contributed to the higher Total Assets in Q3 2024?

The documents note that the **Long-term Debt Due Within One Year** spiked from **$79 million in Q4 2023** to **$464 million in Q3 2024**. The increase is typically associated with the **reclassification of portions of long-term debt that are nearing maturity within the next 12 months**. Additionally, such a change could be influenced by **new debt arrangements or refinancing activities**. However, the documents do not explicitly state the definitive reasons for the spike.  **[0000950170-24-115018_aa-ex99_1.htm:11]** **[0000950170-24-115018_aa-ex99_1.htm:17]** **[0000950170-24-119557_aa-20240930.htm:6]** 

Why did Long-term Debt Due Within One Year spike in Q3 2024?

The significant jump in **Additional Capital** for Q3 2024 is explained by the **issuance of new shares** related to the **acquisition of Alumina Limited**, which was completed on **August 1, 2024**. This acquisition led to additional equity being issued, thereby driving the increase in Additional Capital.  **[0000950170-24-119557_aa-20240930.htm:41]** **[0000950170-24-115018_aa-ex99_1.htm:0]** **[0000950170-24-119557_aa-20240930.htm:6]**
