Survey suggests some Manitobans support higher hydro rates and appliance use at night
WINNIPEG - Some Manitobans appear willing to pay higher electricity rates and shift their energy use to nighttime, an opinion poll commissioned by Crown-owned Manitoba Hydro suggests. The findings come as the utility is asking the provincial regulator to approve rate increases in each of three next three years in order to replace aging infrastructure, avoid an increase in power outages and bring new generating power online. 'The study found that overall, a majority ... say Manitoba Hydro should make the necessary investments to maintain reliability even if it would increase the average monthly bill,' a document filed this month with the Public Utilities Board reads. The survey, conducted by Innovative Research Group in February and filed with the board last week, asked respondents whether they would be willing to pay a certain amount more on their monthly bill to avoid more or longer power outages. Respondents were presented with one of three monthly amounts — $6, $9 and $12. Almost two-thirds of those given the $6 option agreed with the idea of Manitoba Hydro spending more to maintain reliability even if it meant a higher monthly bill. That support dropped to 49 per cent for those presented the $12 a month scenario. Respondents were also polled on the possibility of paying different rates at different times of the day in order to persuade people to avoid using power at times of peak demand. Some energy utilities in Ontario already have such a system. More than half of respondents said they would either definitely or probably consider switching to nighttime use if it meant a lower rate for a number of items — running a dishwasher, charging an electric vehicle, using a washer and dryer, or taking a bath or shower. Fewer than half said they would run heating or air conditioning or cook meals more often at night to take advantage of lower rates. The online survey of 1,260 Manitobans was conducted between Feb. 4 and 17. Because the online survey was not a random probability-based sampling, it cannot be assigned a margin of error. Manitoba Hydro has long said it needs more money to prepare for the future and is asking the regulator to approve three annual rate hikes of 3.5 per cent starting next year. In its initial application package in March, the utility said it must spend $31 billion over two decades to maintain and improve existing infrastructure and expand generating capacity. Much of the infrastructure along the Bipole I and Bipole II transmission lines, which carry the bulk of the province's electricity from northern generating stations, is more than 50 years old and past the expected service life, the utility said. The utility has been laying the groundwork to modernize the lines since at least 2022. Manitoba Hydro is also planning to partner with Indigenous-led groups for 600 megawatts of new wind energy. The utility has said it could need new generating power as early as 2029 to meet growing demand. The Manitoba Eco-Network, a non-profit environmental group, said efforts to conserve energy could be more effective than building more power generation in keeping rates down. The group said it plans to question at hearings in the coming months why Manitoba Hydro recently signed export agreements with Saskatchewan and Minnesota utilities at a time when new generating power will soon be needed. 'It seems strange to me that they were entering into these export arrangements when we're also saying that we need that power,' executive director James Beddome said. The Consumers Coalition, which represents four non-profit groups including the Manitoba branch of the Consumers' Association of Canada, plans to press Manitoba Hydro on efforts to control costs in order to keep rates affordable. 'They'll ... be looking for Manitoba Hydro to be keeping things under control inside its own house,' Chris Klassen, a lawyer with the Public Interest Law Centre who represents the coalition, said.

Miami Fades Celebrates 15 Years of Impact With Bold US Expansion
Atlanta, Georgia / Storyteller / Jul 16, 2025 / Dwight Murray, founder of Miami Fades (source: Miami Fades) Miami Fades, the pioneering barbershop brand built on excellence, community, and education, is marking a significant 15-year milestone this year. Founded in 2010 by Dwight Murray, a Trinidadian-born entrepreneur, the brand is celebrating not just its longevity but also a major expansion into the United States, starting with Atlanta, the barbering capital of the country. This is more than a business move. It's the next chapter in a mission-driven journey aimed at transforming the barbering industry. 'The U.S. expansion represents more than growth for Miami Fades, it's about expanding a way of thinking, a commitment to education, professionalism, and uplifting communities,' says Murray. The story of Miami Fades began with hardship. After immigrating to Canada from Trinidad with dreams of becoming a pilot, Murray found himself homeless and struggling when tuition costs outpaced his government grant. Desperate and down to his last $60, he turned to a skill he had nurtured since age 12, cutting hair. After buying a pair of clippers, Murray began offering $5 haircuts in a college dorm. His technical ability, entrepreneurial spirit, and mechanical mind led him to not only cut hair but also start repairing barber tools. Over time, he built a network of clients and developed a keen understanding of what the industry lacked: professionalism, customer service, health and safety standards, structure, and most importantly, mentorship & education. In 2010, Murray invested $9,000 he had painstakingly saved and opened the first Miami Fades in Richmond Hill, Ontario. That location was humble, a construction site with no electricity, chairs borrowed from a café, and haircuts done under construction lights, but it was the foundation of something much bigger. Since then, Miami Fades has grown into a staple in Canadian barbering, boasting eight active locations (and 17 total over its history). Its philosophy is centered around creating not just a haircut, but an experience, one where every client leaves feeling like the best version of themselves. As the brand expands into the U.S., beginning with a flagship location in Atlanta, it brings with it a reputation for excellence and a deep commitment to education. One of Murray's proudest achievements has been mentoring others. Many of their mentees have gone on to run their own businesses, but for Murray, two individuals truly stand out. The first two individuals he trained went on to run successful barbershop businesses of their own. ' It's never been just about haircuts, and my first two mentees showed me the impact I could have,' says Murray. 'It's about creating opportunity and building a path towards a stronger and more independent industry.' That philosophy is most evident in Miami Fades' educational arm, the Toronto Fade Masters Academy, an urban barbershop academy in Canada. At a time when barbering was marginalized in Canadian trade education, Murray championed a curriculum focused on all hair types and cultural traditions. With over 2,500 students enrolled over the years, the academy has become a pipeline for skilled, well-trained professionals and a beacon for aspiring barbers who once felt excluded by traditional hairstyling schools. Now, with the move into the United States, Murray plans to replicate and expand the academy model. 'We are not just opening shops. We're raising standards. We're training the next generation,' he says. 'But the best thing? We have created a blueprint that others can and are following, further spreading the impact of such innovation.' As Miami Fades enters this new phase, it carries a legacy rooted in resilience, innovation, and community impact. From a single pair of clippers in a dorm room to a multi-location brand with international ambitions, Miami Fades isn't just celebrating 15 years, it's celebrating a revolution.

Alcoa Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alcoa Corporation (NYSE: AA; ASX: AAI) today reported results for the second quarter 2025 that reflect strong operational performance, and a sequential increase in cash despite lower prices for alumina and aluminum and increased tariff costs. Financial Results and Highlights Maintained operational performance, including strong aluminum production Progressed the sale of Alcoa's full ownership interest of 25.1 percent in the joint venture with Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma'aden), which closed July 1, 2025 Received favorable decision on Australian tax dispute Redirected Canadian produced aluminum to customers outside the U.S. to mitigate additional tariff costs, while maintaining advocacy efforts with policy makers Generated $488 million in cash from operations, a sequential improvement of $413 million Finished the second quarter 2025 with a cash balance of $1.5 billion 'In the second quarter of 2025, we continued our relentless execution on key objectives, which included progressing the sale of our interest in the joint venture with Ma'aden,' said Alcoa President and CEO William F. Oplinger. 'We delivered on safety, stability, and operational performance in the quarter despite lower alumina and aluminum pricing.' Second Quarter 2025 Results Production: Alumina production was flat sequentially at 2.4 million metric tons. In the Aluminum segment, production increased 1 percent sequentially to 572,000 metric tons primarily due to continued progress on the Alumar, Brazil smelter restart. Shipments: In the Alumina segment, third-party shipments of alumina increased 4 percent sequentially primarily due to timing of shipments and increased trading, partially offset by lower sales of externally sourced alumina to fulfill customer commitments. In Aluminum, total shipments increased 4 percent sequentially primarily due to the timing of shipments. Revenue: The Company's total third-party revenue of $3.0 billion decreased 10 percent sequentially. In the Alumina segment, third-party revenue decreased 28 percent on a decrease in average realized third-party price, partially offset by increased shipments. In the Aluminum segment, third-party revenue increased 3 percent on increased shipments and favorable currency impacts, partially offset by a decrease in average realized third-party price. Increases in the Midwest premium (U.S. and Canada) were more than fully offset by lower average London Metal Exchange prices (on a 15-day lag), resulting in decreased average realized third-party price of aluminum. Net income attributable to Alcoa Corporation was $164 million, or $0.62 per common share. Sequentially, the results reflect lower alumina and aluminum prices and increased tariff costs on imported aluminum. Additionally, the results reflect decreased income taxes primarily due to lower earnings and favorable changes in mark-to-market contracts (see below). In the second quarter 2025, Alcoa incurred approximately $115 million for tariff costs on imports of aluminum to the U.S. from Canada. U.S. Section 232 tariffs were 25 percent from March 12, 2025 until increasing to 50 percent on June 4, 2025. Adjusted net income was $103 million, or $0.39 per common share, excluding the impact from net special items of $61 million. Notable special items include mark-to-market gains on foreign exchange and energy contracts of $79 million, partially offset by net restructuring charges of $14 million. Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $313 million, a sequential decrease of $542 million primarily due to lower alumina and aluminum prices and increased tariff costs on aluminum imported to the U.S. Cash: Alcoa ended the quarter with a cash balance of $1.5 billion. Cash provided from operations was $488 million. Cash used for financing activities was $67 million primarily related to $37 million of net payments on short-term borrowings and $27 million in cash dividends on stock. Cash used for investing activities was $132 million primarily due to capital expenditures of $131 million. Free cash flow was $357 million. Working capital: For the second quarter, Receivables from customers of $1.0 billion, Inventories of $2.2 billion and Accounts payable, trade of $1.6 billion comprised DWC working capital. Alcoa reported 47 days working capital consistent with the first quarter 2025, with an increase in inventory days fully offset by an increase in accounts payable days and a decrease in accounts receivable days. The change in inventory and accounts payable days was primarily due to decreased sales. Accounts receivable decreased primarily due to lower pricing for alumina. Key Actions San Ciprián complex: The restart of the San Ciprián smelter was paused in April 2025 following a widespread power outage across Spain, until the Spanish Government could provide sufficient details on the cause of the power outage and the measures being taken to prevent a reoccurrence. On July 14, 2025, the Company and its joint venture partner, IGNIS Equity Holdings, SL, announced that the restart process of the San Ciprián smelter would resume after reviewing the Spanish Government's report on the circumstances that caused the power outage, and the planned measures and investments aimed at providing improved grid resilience, and receiving assurances from the Spanish Government that it will continue to promote measures to provide reliable and competitive energy. The Company expects that the restart will be completed by mid-2026. Based on recent pricing, the Company expects to record a net loss (pre-tax and noncontrolling interest) for the smelter of approximately $90 million to $110 million, or $0.35 to $0.42 per common share in 2025, and associated cash used by operations for the smelter is expected to approximate $110 million to $130 million in 2025. The unfavorable change from prior estimates is due to the delay in the completion of the restart and related revenue from 2025 into 2026. Ma'aden joint venture: On July 1, 2025, Alcoa completed the sale of its full ownership interest of 25.1 percent in the Ma'aden joint venture, comprised of the Ma'aden Bauxite and Alumina Company and the Ma'aden Aluminium Company, to Ma'aden for total consideration of $1.35 billion, comprised of 85,977,547 shares (valued at $1.2 billion as of closing) and $150 million in cash (to be used primarily for related taxes and transaction costs). In the third quarter 2025, Alcoa expects to recognize a gain of approximately $780 million and subsequent changes in fair value of the shares within Other income. Consistent with prior transactions, Alcoa reflects gains or losses from non-core asset sales and mark-to-market financial instruments as special items. Australian tax decision: On April 30, 2025, Alcoa received a favorable decision from the Administrative Review Tribunal of Australia (ART) in relation to a review of decisions of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) regarding certain disputed tax liabilities. The dispute related to the transfer pricing of certain historic third-party alumina sales pursuant to which the ATO asserted that additional tax was owed. The ART decided that no additional tax is owed, consistent with Alcoa's long-held position related to this matter. The ATO did not appeal the decision and the disputed claims (and additional related interest and penalties) have been withdrawn. In accordance with the ATO's dispute resolution practices, Alcoa previously paid $69 (A$107) million, representing 50 percent of the assessed income tax amount, which was refunded with $9 (A$13) million of accrued interest in July 2025. Accrued cash taxes of $225 (A$346) million related to interest deducted against taxable income through the decision date are payable by Alcoa by June 1, 2026. Tariffs: During the second quarter 2025, Alcoa redirected aluminum produced by the Company's Canadian smelters to customers outside the U.S. to mitigate additional tariff costs. Additionally, the Company maintained active engagement with administrations, governments, and policy makers, primarily in the U.S. and Canada, regarding the impacts of tariffs. Western Australia mine approvals: On May 29, 2025, the Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority (WA EPA) opened a 12-week public comment period on the Company's two mine plans in Western Australia, which include the plan for the next major mine regions (Myara North and Holyoake) and the rolling five-year mine plan (2023-2027) referred to the WA EPA by a third-party in 2023. Following this public consultation period and the Company's response to any clarifications requested by the WA EPA, the WA EPA will publish its assessment and recommendations. An appeals process of the assessment and recommendations will follow before Ministerial decisions are finalized. The Ministerial decisions were expected by the first quarter of 2026 per the indicative timeline the WA EPA set in the third quarter of 2024. From both the Company and the WA EPA perspective, the indicative timeline is no longer achievable primarily due to the complexity related to advancing both mine approvals, the extensive documentation provided by the Company and independent experts, and the additional work expected in summarizing and responding to submissions received in the public comment period. At the end of the public consultation, the Company expects that a revised timeline will be published. The Company is committed to continuing to work collaboratively with the WA EPA and other stakeholders to achieve Ministerial decisions as early as possible in 2026. The Company has multiple contingency plans and expects to access bauxite similar to recent grades until the Company can transition to the new mine regions. 2025 Outlook The following outlook does not include reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, including transformation, intersegment eliminations and other corporate Adjusted EBITDA; operational tax expense; and other expense; each excluding special items, to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because it is impractical to forecast certain special items, such as restructuring charges and mark-to-market contracts, without unreasonable efforts due to the variability and complexity associated with predicting the occurrence and financial impact of such special items. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results. Alcoa expects 2025 total Alumina segment production and shipments to remain unchanged from its prior projection, ranging between 9.5 to 9.7 million metric tons, and between 13.1 and 13.3 million metric tons, respectively. The difference between production and shipments reflects trading volumes and externally sourced alumina to fulfill customer contracts due to the curtailment of the Kwinana refinery. Alcoa expects 2025 total Aluminum segment production to remain unchanged from its prior projection, ranging between 2.3 and 2.5 million metric tons. The Company has decreased its 2025 projection for aluminum shipments to range between 2.5 and 2.6 million metric tons, a reduction of between 0.1 and 0.2 million metric tons from the prior projection primarily due to the reduced production at the San Ciprián smelter as a result of the delayed restart. Within the third quarter 2025 Alumina Segment Adjusted EBITDA, the Company expects sequential favorable impacts of approximately $20 million due to lower maintenance costs and efficiencies at higher production rates. For the third quarter 2025, the Aluminum segment expects sequential unfavorable impacts of approximately $90 million due to U.S. Section 232 tariffs on imports of aluminum from Canada. Alumina costs in the Aluminum segment are expected to be favorable by approximately $100 million sequentially. The Company expects Other expenses for the third quarter 2025 to remain consistent with the second quarter 2025. Based on current alumina and aluminum market conditions, Alcoa expects third quarter 2025 operational tax expense to approximate $50 million to $60 million, which may vary with market conditions and jurisdictional profitability.

(1) Adjusted operating costs includes all production related costs for alumina or aluminum produced and shipped: raw materials consumed; conversion costs, such as labor, materials, and utilities; and plant administrative expenses. (2) Other segment items include costs associated with trading activity, the Alumina segment's purchase of bauxite from offtake or other supply agreements, the Alumina segment's commercial shipping services, and the Aluminum segment's energy assets; other direct and non-production related charges; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; and Research and development expenses. (3) Alcoa Corporation's definition of Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) 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. The Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. (4) Transformation includes, among other items, the Adjusted EBITDA of previously closed operations. (5) Corporate expenses are composed of general administrative and other expenses of operating the corporate headquarters and other global administrative facilities, as well as research and development expenses of the corporate technical center. (6) Other includes certain items that are not included in the Adjusted EBITDA of the reportable segments. Expand Net income attributable to Alcoa Corporation – as adjusted and Diluted EPS – as adjusted are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these measures are meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of Alcoa Corporation excluding the impacts of restructuring and other charges, various tax items, and other special items (collectively, 'special items'). There can be no assurances that additional special items will not occur in future periods. To compensate for this limitation, management believes it is appropriate to consider Net income attributable to Alcoa Corporation and Diluted EPS determined under GAAP as well as Net income attributable to Alcoa Corporation – as adjusted and Diluted EPS – as adjusted. (1) Other special items include the following: for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, a net favorable change in mark-to-market foreign exchange ($72) and energy ($7) derivative instruments, external costs related to portfolio actions ($6), costs related to the restart process at the San Ciprián, Spain smelter ($3), a gain on sale of a non-core investment ($3), and a net benefit for other special items ($4); for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, a charge for debt settlement expenses ($12), a net favorable change in mark-to-market energy derivative instruments ($5), external costs related to portfolio actions ($3), costs related to the restart process at the San Ciprián smelter ($2), and a benefit for other special items ($1); and, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, a net favorable change in mark-to-market energy derivative instruments ($26), an adjustment to the gain on sale of the Warrick Rolling Mill in Evansville, Indiana for additional site separation costs ($4), external costs related to portfolio actions ($2), and net charges for other special items ($2). (2) Discrete and other tax items are generally unusual or infrequently occurring items, changes in law, items associated with uncertain tax positions, or the effect of measurement-period adjustments and include the following: for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, a net charge for discrete tax items ($3); and, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, a net charge for discrete tax items ($2). (3) The tax impact on special items is based on the applicable statutory rates in the jurisdictions where the special items occurred. The noncontrolling interest impact on special items represents Alcoa's partner's share of certain special items. (4) For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, dividends paid on preferred stock were $1 and undistributed earnings of $1 were allocated to preferred stock under the two-class method. For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, undistributed earnings of $9 and undistributed earnings – as adjusted of $9 were allocated to preferred stock under the two-class method. Expand Alcoa Corporation's definition of Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) 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 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. (1) Special items include the following (see reconciliation of Adjusted Income above for additional information): for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the mark-to-market contracts associated with the Portland, Australia smelter generated gains ($30) in Other income, net which economically offset a portion of the cost of power recorded in Cost of goods sold. This non-GAAP reclass presents the net cost of power within Cost of goods sold. This was in addition to external costs related to portfolio actions ($6), costs related to the restart process at the San Ciprián, Spain smelter ($3), and charges for other special items ($2); for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, external costs related to portfolio actions ($3), net cost of power associated with the Portland smelter ($2), and costs related to the restart process at the San Ciprián smelter ($2); and, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, net cost of power associated with the Portland smelter ($29), external costs related to portfolio actions ($2), and net charges for other special items ($3).

Management believes 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. Adjusted net debt is also a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is meaningful to investors because management also assesses Alcoa Corporation's leverage position after considering available cash that could be used to repay outstanding debt and net pension/OPEB liability. Expand DWC working capital and Days working capital are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these measures are meaningful to investors because management uses its working capital position to assess Alcoa Corporation's efficiency in liquidity management. (1) Days working capital is calculated as DWC working capital divided by the quotient of Sales and number of days in the quarter. Expand
