On Wednesday, August 3, Novelis released the first quarter financial results for fiscal year 2023, reporting a 28 per cent year-on-year rise in net income attributable to shareholder to a record $307 million and a 1 per cent increase in net income from continuing operations to also at $307 million. But excluding special items in both years, net income from continuing operations in Q1FY23 registered an 18 per cent hike due primarily to higher underlying Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA grew 1 per cent to a record $561 million in Q1 ended June 30 versus $555 million during the same period last year. The increase was due to higher product pricing, favourable product mix, aerospace shipment, and improved recycling performance.
The company's net sales stood at $5.1 billion in 1QFY23, gaining 32 per cent from $3.9 billion during the prior year period, driven by higher average aluminium prices and local market premiums.
Steve Fisher, President and CEO of Novelis Inc., said: "Novelis once again delivered record financial performance in the first quarter, following our record performance last fiscal year. With our unmatched global footprint, broad product portfolio, and first mover capacity expansion plans to support growing demand for innovative and sustainable aluminum solutions, Novelis will continue to lead the aluminum industry in fostering a circular economy and driving long-term value for our stakeholders."
But amid robust performance, what dipped were the flat rolled product shipments. From 973,000 tonnes in Q1 FY2022, shipments dropped by 1 per cent over the year to 962,000 tonnes, due mainly to supply chain disruption.
"In a strong demand but capacity constrained environment, we continue to focus on delivering high-quality, high-recycled-content products to customers while continually optimizing our operations and portfolio," said Devinder Ahuja, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Novelis Inc. "Given the growing market, we are vigorously allocating capital to continue to grow alongside our customers, with more than $4.5 billion of investment opportunities on our horizon."
