Hydro’s Q1 Adjusted EBITDA surges 5x on upstream aluminium strength; Extrusions weakness triggers strategic response

Hydro has reportedly announced the first quarter results of 2025 where it has shown positive effects of alumina and all-aluminium prices on its financial performance during the period. However, higher raw material costs, lower extrusion volumes and margins, and lower alumina sales volumes have offset the result to an extent, said Hydro.
Here are the key takeaways from Hydro’s Q1 results:
- Strong upstream results, driven by bauxite and alumina’s record performance
- Suffered from economic uncertainty and risk of low demand due to tariff
- Bearish extrusions outlook due to uncertain markets, leading Hydro to adjust portfolio and cut costs
- Recycling executing on hot metal cost improvements, one-third of 2030 target to be realised in 2025
