Adjusted EPS came in at $0.32 on sales of $5.2 billion.

Alcoa's sales fell from $5.57 billion to $5.21 billion thus missing the estimates of $5.33 billion. Sequentially too, sales fell from $5.3 billion.

Chairman and CEO Klaus Kleinfeld commented, "Alcoa Corporation segments have met or exceeded their respective 2016 global cost curve goals. The aluminum business now sits at the 38th percentile – from the 51st percentile in 2010, 43rd in 2013 - and the alumina business has moved down to the 17th percentile – from the 30th percentile in 2010, 27th in 2013."

Going forward, Alcoa reduced its Global Rolled products revenue forecast from $5.0-$5.2 billion to $4.8-$5.0 billion for full year 2016. Similarly, the company slashed its revenue expectation from Engineered products and Solutions from $5.9-$6.1 billion to $5.6-$5.8 billion. Transportation and Construction solutions revenue is expected to be $1.7-$1.8 billion compared to its earlier guidance of $2.1 billion.

The stock dropped $1.21, or 3.84 percent, to $30.30 in pre-market trading.
