Production update
Alumina production saw a 4 per cent increase from the previous quarter, reaching 2.5 million tonnes. This boost was largely due to higher output from Australian refineries, which had less maintenance downtime during this period. In the aluminium segment, production rose slightly by 1 per cent to 579 thousand tonnes because of the ongoing efforts to restart the San Ciprián smelter in Spain.
Shipment update
In the Alumina segment, third-party shipments held steady at 2.2 million tonnes compared to the previous period. This stability came as a result of increased refinery output, although it was somewhat balanced out by a dip in trading activity. Meanwhile, in the aluminium segment, total shipments saw a 3 per cent decrease from the last quarter, primarily due to lower trading volumes and the timing of deliveries.
