Business Overview

  • Vertically integrated global producer of bauxite, alumina, primary aluminum, and rolled products, with commodity-linked pricing exposure
  • New three-segment structure: Bauxite, Alumina, and Aluminum, combining smelting, casting, rolling, and most energy assets
  • Strategic emphasis on third-party bauxite sales, including Australian export authorization for 2.5 million dmt annually
  • 2017 output: 45.8 million dmt bauxite and 65% value-added aluminum smelter shipments
  • First full year as an independent public company following November 1, 2016 separation from Arconic, including Rockdale permanent closure and Warrick restart plan

Management Discussion & Analysis

  • Revenue $11,652, up $2,334, or 25% YoY, driven by higher aluminum and alumina prices and shipments
  • COGS margin 77.9% vs 84.8%; SG&A margin 2.4% vs 3.9%
  • Best segment Alumina: Adjusted EBITDA $1,289, up $911; Aluminum EBITDA up $284
  • Operating cash flow $1,224; capex $405; no dividends, $247 paid to Arconic
  • 2018 outlook: capex approximately $450, tax rate 35%-40%; risks include commodity volatility and higher caustic soda, bauxite, alumina and carbon costs

Risk Factors

  • CERCLA Superfund liability: joint-and-several cleanup claims for current, former, or acquired contaminated sites
  • Chinese subsidized aluminum exports: excess capacity threatening global prices and margin compression
  • Trombetas mine: heavy rain and drought disrupted tailing ponds and washing plant operations in 2017
  • LME warehouse-rule changes: increased load-out rates and fee caps could reduce regional premiums and aluminum prices
  • Debt covenants: leverage ratio capped at 2.25-to-1.00, rising to 2.50-to-1.00 only in specified circumstances
