Hindalco reports 73% rise in aluminium EBITDA in FY2017, driven by higher volume



Hindalco reports record standalone/consolidated performance across all operation including aluminium segment for the fourth quarter and the year ended 31 March 2017.  Hindalco reported 26% increase in March quarter net profit at INR 503 crore against INR 400 crore in Q4 2016, driven by better realisations. Revenue from operations was up 27% at INR 11,747 crore.
Consolidated revenue for FY2017 was up 7 per cent at INR 39,383 crore while net profit increased more than 50% to INR 1,557 crore. EBITDA for FY2017 stood at a record ?13,558 crore, up 36% compared to FY2016, supported by stable overall operations.

While the company's revenue from the aluminium business grew 9 per cent at ?5,548 crore for Q4 2017, the standalone revenue for aluminium division in FY2017 was also up 9% to stand at INR.19,986 crore, driven by higher sales volume and realization. EBITDA for the quarter increased 13% to stand at INR 1,570 crore. The full year EBITDA was INR 3,473 crore, up 73% compared to INR 2,009 crore in FY 2016, driven by lower input costs, higher volumes with stable plant operations and supportive macro factors.

For the FY2017, the company achieved record aluminium production at 1,266 thousand tonne. Aluminium production was up 12 per cent as compared to FY2016.

Value Added Products (including Wire Rod) production was at 481 thousand tonne, up 14% YoY. Both the new plants, Aditya and Mahan are operating at their rated capacities.

During the fourth quarter, the company raised $500 million through qualified institutional placement and divested stake in its copper mine in Australia.
Novelis, the US subsidiary company, achieved record results during FY 2017, with adjusted EBITDA at USD 1.09 billion, up 13 per cent, driven by operational efficiencies, strategic product shift and favourable currency, partially offset by lower shipments.

Satish Pai, Managing Director, Hindalco Industries, said environmental and supply side restrictions in China is putting about 4 million tonnes of aluminum smelting equipment capacity at risk with significant delay in under-construction projects. This, he expects would drive LME higher continuing the bullish trend in 2017. He expects strong demand and lower inventory to drive the aluminium benchmark prices on LME.

How an aluminum smelter is made

图片
In an aluminum smelter usually we find several hundred pot, housed in one or more large buildings called potrooms. Inside the potroom the cells are electrically connected in series. This means that the cathode of a cell is connected with the anode rod of the next cell downstream. The electrical connection of one cell to the next one is made with a complicated system of aluminum bars with cross sectional areas suitable to transport the so high currents used with minimum voltage drops. In the most recent smelters the cells are arranged in a side by side configuration, which makes easier to lessen the adverse effects of the magnetic fields. In older smelters it’s easy to find also the end-to-end configuration. As we have seen, a cell for its basic functioning needs alumina, carbon anodes and electrical current. In an aluminum smelter, hence, together with the potroom, we find other buildings and sub plants which deliver to the potroom carbon anodes, alumina and electrical

There are two primary technologies using the Hall–Héroult process

There are two primary technologies using the Hall–Héroult process: Söderberg technology and prebake technology. In Söderberg or self-baking anodes using cells, there is a single anode per electrolysis cell  Aluminum smelter equipment . The anode is in a frame and as the bottom of the anode turns mainly into CO2 during the electrolysis the anode loses mass and being amorphous it slowly sinks within its frame. More material to the top of the anode is continuously added in the form of briquettes made from coke and pitch. The lost heat from the smelting operation is used to bake the briquettes into the carbon form required for reaction with alumina. This baking process in Söderberg anodes during electrolysis releases more carcinogenic PAHs and other pollutants than electrolysis with prebaked anodes and partially for this reason prebaked anodes using cells have become more common in aluminum industry. More alumina is added to the electrolyte from the sides of the Söderberg anode after the

Disruption at Sohar Aluminum to last up to 6 months

图片
Production at Oman's Sohar Aluminum could be disrupted by as much as six months, sources said Thursday, following the "interruption" of smelting operations after an "incident" reported by the company last Friday. A trader said he expects the plant to remain closed for four to six months, with at least 150,000 mt of aluminum production lost. A second source, an aluminum producer, said he had heard it could take even longer than six months to fully restore operations, despite official statements there would be no long-term impact. "Sohar Aluminum refutes any unofficial statements, remarks, claims or communication circulated on social media, networking platforms, digital or print," according to a statement posted on the company's website since Monday. "There are no long-term implications on the daily operations of the company and we will resume normal operations at the earliest," the statement said, with the situation "immediately contr
