Commenting on the results, Mr. Satish Pai, Managing Director, Hindalco Industries, said, “Our strong Q1 results ride on the back of consistent operational excellence and cost optimization which allowed us to leverage the higher average metal prices. The Copper business achieved its highest quarterly EBITDA driven by high domestic sales (especially downstream products), healthy by-product credits and better operational efficiencies following a successful planned shutdown. The Aluminium India Upstream business recorded an 81% growth in EBITDA over the previous year. At 40%, it has registered the highest EBITDA margins globally. Novelis’ EBITDA per tonne at $525, was up 10% YoY, primarily due to increased volumes led by normalized beverage can shipments. Looking ahead, the major capital formation phase of the downstream business is near completion, and from here on, we will explore growth opportunities in the upstream business given our strong cash position. On the ESG front, I am happy to report that we are on track on our roadmap for climate action, waste recycling, water conservation, and biodiversity protection.”Business Segment Performance in Q1FY25 (vs Q1FY24) Novelis: Total shipments of flat rolled products were at 951 KT in Q1 FY25 vs 879 KT in Q1 FY24, up 8% YoY supported by normalised demand for beverage packaging sheet. Novelis’ revenue in Q1 FY25 stood at $4.2 billion (vs $4.1 billion), up 2% YoY, driven by higher average aluminium prices YoY and higher shipments. Novelis reported an adjusted EBITDA of $500 million (vs $421 million), up 19% YoY supported by higher shipments and favourable product pricing. Novelis’ adjusted EBITDA per tonne at $525 was up 10% YoY. Net income attributable to our common shareholder, was $151 million in Q1 FY25, down 3% YoY due to initial charges associated with flooding at the Sierre plant, Switzerland, caused by unprecedented heavy rainfall in end-June, as well as higher restructuring and unfavorable metal price lag, largely offset by higher Adjusted EBITDA. The total net cash impact of flooding at Novelis Sierre plant, after insurance, is estimated at $80 million. The net impact to Adjusted EBITDA is estimated to be $30 million, the majority of which will occur in the second quarter.
