EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

According to Alumina Limited, the fall in earning was caused by lower production and higher maintenance costs in the segment.

The Alumina segment, as said by the company was negatively impacted by an 11 per cent fall in the Alumina Price Index (API) or Australian Alumina FOB prices. However the negative effect was partially offset by higher sales and favourable currency movements.

Alcoa has been focusing on restructuring its portfolio to leverage on low cost refinery assets and third party bauxite sales. This, the company believes will bring long term profitability to the company.

Commenting on the results Alumina Limited’s CEO, Mike Ferraro said, “The benefit of restructuring the AWAC portfolio to focus on low cost refinery assets and increasing third party bauxite sales is evident in the strong second quarter performance of the bauxite and alumina segments, despite a significant fall in alumina pricing and higher caustic soda prices.”
