Alcoa Corporation Investor Presentation September 2018 Exhibit 99.1


Slide 2

This presentation contains statements that relate to future events and expectations and as such constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include those containing such words as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “goal,” “intends,” “may,” “outlook,” “plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “sees,” “should,” “targets,” “will,” “would,” or other words of similar meaning. All statements by Alcoa Corporation that reflect expectations, assumptions or projections about the future, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, forecasts concerning global demand growth for bauxite, alumina, and aluminum, and supply/demand balances; statements, projections or forecasts of future or targeted financial results or operating performance; and statements about strategies, outlook, and business and financial prospects. These statements reflect beliefs and assumptions that are based on Alcoa Corporation’s perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments, as well as other factors that management believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Although Alcoa Corporation believes that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (a) material adverse changes in aluminum industry conditions, including global supply and demand conditions and fluctuations in London Metal Exchange-based prices and premiums, as applicable, for primary aluminum and other products, and fluctuations in indexed-based and spot prices for alumina; (b) deterioration in global economic and financial market conditions generally; (c) unfavorable changes in the markets served by Alcoa Corporation; (d) the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on costs and results; (e) increases in energy costs; (f) declines in the discount rates used to measure pension liabilities or lower-than-expected investment returns on pension assets, or unfavorable changes in laws or regulations that govern pension plan funding; (g) the inability to achieve improvement in profitability and margins, cost savings, cash generation, revenue growth, fiscal discipline, or strengthening of competitiveness and operations anticipated from operational and productivity improvements, cash sustainability, technology advancements, and other initiatives; (h) the inability to realize expected benefits, in each case as planned and by targeted completion dates, from acquisitions, divestitures, facility closures, curtailments, restarts, expansions, or joint ventures; (i) political, economic, trade, and regulatory risks in the countries in which Alcoa Corporation operates or sells products; (j) labor disputes or work stoppages; (k) the outcome of contingencies, including legal proceedings, government or regulatory investigations, and environmental remediation; (l) the impact of cyberattacks and potential information technology or data security breaches; and (m) the other risk factors described in Item 1A of Alcoa Corporation’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and other reports filed by Alcoa Corporation with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Alcoa Corporation disclaims any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Market projections are subject to the risks discussed above and other risks in the market. Any information contained in the following slides that has been previously publicly presented by Alcoa speaks as of the date that it was originally presented, as indicated. Alcoa is not updating or affirming any of such information as of today’s date.  The provision of this information shall not imply that the information has not changed since it was originally presented. Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements Important information


Slide 3

Some of the information included in this presentation is derived from Alcoa’s consolidated financial information but is not presented in Alcoa’s financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. Alcoa Corporation believes that the presentation of 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. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and management’s rationale for the use of the non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the appendix to this presentation. This presentation includes a range of forecasted 2018 Adjusted EBITDA for the Company. Alcoa Corporation has not provided a reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for the following reasons. The Company’s financial results are heavily dependent on market-driven factors, such as LME-based prices for aluminum, index- and spot-based prices for alumina, and foreign currency exchange rates. As such, the Company may experience significant volatility on a daily basis related to its forecasted Adjusted EBITDA. Management applies estimated sensitivities, such as those relating to aluminum and alumina prices and foreign currency exchange rates, to the components that comprise Adjusted EBITDA. However, a similar analysis cannot be performed relating to the components necessary to reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort due to the additional variability and complexity associated with forecasting such items. Consequently, management believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing and/or potentially misleading to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures Important information (continued) On January 1, 2018, Alcoa Corporation adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board to the presentation of net periodic benefit cost related to pension and other postretirement benefit plans.  This guidance requires the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost to be reported separately from the service cost component in an entity’s income statement.  Additionally, this guidance is required to be applied retrospectively.  Accordingly, previously reported amounts for Cost of goods sold, Selling, general administrative, and other expenses, and Other expenses (income), net on Alcoa Corporation’s consolidated income statement have been recast to reflect these changes.  As a result, previously reported amounts for Adjusted EBITDA on both a consolidated basis and for each of the Company’s three segments have been updated to reflect these changes.  See the appendix for additional information.

Alcoa Corporation annual consolidated amounts Bauxite production, Mdmt Production and capacity information Alumina refining, kmt The Company’s proportionate share of earnings from its equity investment in the Saudi Arabian joint venture does not impact adjusted EBITDA. In second quarter 2018, Alcoa completed the restart of two (108 kmt) of the three potlines included in the partial restart plan for the Warrick smelter. On May 28, the Company announced that the third (53 kmt) line scheduled for restart had been shut down due to a temporary power outage.

Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation Alcoa Corporation’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to Alcoa Corporation’s operating performance and the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations. The Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. $M 2Q17 1Q18 2Q18 LTM Net income attributable to Alcoa Corporation $75 $150 $75 $142 Add: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest 63 124 155 475 Provision for income taxes 99 138 180 709 Other expenses, net 28 21 9 108 Interest expense 25 26 32 111 Restructuring and other charges 12 (19) 231 499 Depreciation, depletion and amortization 190 194 192 767 Adjusted EBITDA 492 634 874 2,811 Special items before tax and noncontrolling interest 13 19 30 124 Adjusted EBITDA excl. special items $505 $653 $904 $2,935

Free Cash Flow reconciliation Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations after taking into consideration capital expenditures, which are both considered necessary to maintain and expand Alcoa Corporation’s asset base, and expected to generate future cash flows from operations. It is important to note that Free Cash Flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure. Cash from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 includes a $500 million cash outflow for discretionary contributions made to three of Alcoa Corporation’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans. The $500 million was funded with the gross proceeds of 6.125% Senior notes due 2028 issued in May 2018. $M 2Q17 3Q17 4Q17 1Q18 2Q18 Cash from operations $311 $384 $455 $55 $(430)1 Capital expenditures (88) (96) (150) (74) (95) Free cash flow $223 $288 $305 $(19) $(525)

Net Debt reconciliation Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management assesses Alcoa Corporation’s leverage position after considering available cash that could be used to repay outstanding debt. Total debt as of June 30, 2018 includes $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% senior notes due 2028 issued in May 2018, the gross proceeds of which were used to make discretionary contributions to three of Alcoa Corporation’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans. $M 1Q18 2Q18 Long-term debt due within one year $15 $13 Long-term debt, less amount due within one year 1,445 1,916 Total debt1 1,460 1,929 Less: Cash and cash equivalents 1,196 1,089 Net debt $264 $840

Bauxite mines This table shows only the AWAC and/or Alcoa Corporation share (proportion) of reserve and annual production tonnage. Reserves are in place for all mines other than Juruti and Trombetas, where the ore is beneficiated and a wash recovery factor is applied. This entity is part of the AWAC group of companies and is ultimately owned 60% by Alcoa Corporation and 40% by Alumina Limited. Alumínio is ultimately owned 100% by Alcoa Corporation. Brazilian mineral legislation does not establish the duration of mining concessions. The concession remains in force until the exhaustion of the deposit. The company estimates that (i) the concessions at Poços de Caldas will last at least until 2020, (ii) the concessions at Trombetas will last until 2046 and (iii) the concessions at Juruti will last until 2100. Depending, however, on actual and future needs, the rate at which the deposits are exploited and government approval is obtained, the concessions may be extended to (or expire at) a later (or an earlier) date. Alumínio holds an 8.58% total interest, AWA Brasil holds a 4.62% total interest and AWA LLC holds a 5% total interest in MRN. MRN is jointly owned with affiliates of Rio Tinto Alcan Inc., Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio, Vale, South32, and Norsk Hydro. Alumínio, AWA Brasil, and AWA LLC purchase bauxite from MRN under long-term supply contracts. AWA LLC owns a 45% interest in Halco (Mining), Inc. (“Halco”). Halco owns 100% of Boké Investment Company, a Delaware company, which owns 51% of CBG. The Guinean Government owns 49% of CBG, which has the exclusive right through 2038 to develop and mine bauxite in certain areas within an approximately 2,939 square-kilometer concession in northwestern Guinea. AWA LLC and Alũmina Española, S.A. have bauxite purchase contracts with CBG that expire in 2033. Before that expiration date, AWA LLC and Alũmina Española, S.A expect to negotiate extensions of their contracts as CBG will have concession rights until 2038. The CBG concession can be renewed beyond 2038 by agreement of the Government of Guinea and CBG should more time be required to commercialize the remaining economic bauxite within the concession. Guinea—Boké: CBG prices bauxite and plans the mine based on the bauxite content of total alumina (TAl2O3) and total silica (TSiO2). Ma’aden Bauxite & Alumina Company is a joint venture owned by Saudi Arabian Mining Company (“Ma’aden”) (74.9%) and AWA Saudi Limited (25.1%). AWA Saudi Limited is part of the AWAC group of companies and is ultimately owned 60% by Alcoa Corporation and 40% by Alumina Limited. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia—Al Ba’itha: Bauxite reserves and mine plans are based on the bauxite qualities of total available alumina (TA.Al2O3) and total silica (TSiO2).

Aluminum smelters Nameplate Capacity is an estimate based on design capacity and normal operating efficiencies and does not necessarily represent maximum possible production. The figures in this column reflect Alcoa’s share of production based on Nameplate Capacity from the smelter facilities. The named company or an affiliate thereof holds this interest. This figure includes the minority interest of Alumina Limited in the Portland facility, which is owned by AofA, an AWAC company. From this facility, AWAC takes 100% of the production allocated to AofA. The Portland smelter has approximately 30,000 mtpy of idle capacity. The Alumar smelter and casthouse have been fully curtailed since April 2015. The Bécancour facility is owned by Alcoa (74.95%) and Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. (25.05%) through Rio Tinto Alcan Inc.’s interest in Pechiney Reynolds Québec, Inc., which is owned by Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. and Alcoa. On January 11, 2018, a lockout of the bargained hourly employees commenced at the Bécancour smelter. As a result, only one of the three potlines is operating. The Avilés and La Coruña smelters have approximately 56,000 mtpy of idle capacity combined. The Intalco smelter has approximately 49,000 mtpy of idle capacity. The Wenatchee smelter has been fully curtailed since the end of 2015. In June 2018, the Company announced that it was permanently closing one (38 kmt) of four potlines at the Wenatchee smelter. The Warrick smelter has approximately 161,000 mtpy of idle capacity.
