We effectively navigated ongoing geopolitical tensions and market disruptions to produce strong results in 2024. Global aluminum demand will continue to be driven by positive, long-term trends towards lightweighting, electrification, and renewable energy. At the same time, supply remains constrained, especially in our core markets in the U.S. and Europe. Our growing value-added product portfolio and investment to revitalize the U.S. primary aluminum industry positions us well for continued success. The following are key performance highlights for 2024:

| • | Improved                                                                               
 operational efficiencies at the Jamalco alumina refinery during the first full year of

| • | Achieved
