Revenue in the first quarter of 2018 was $2,744 million as compared to $2,297 million for the same period of 2017 following the growth in the LME aluminium prices. Adjusted EBITDA rose 20.4% to $572 million as compared to $475 million for the same period of the prior year.

Revenue from sales of primary aluminium and alloys stood at $2,245 million in the first quarter of 2018, as compared to $1,920 million in the first quarter of 2017, primarily due to 19.3% increase in the weighted-average realized aluminium price per tonne.

Revenue from sales of alumina increased 25.4% to $237 million in the first quarter of 2018 from $189 million in the same period of 2017. The increase was due to increase in the average sales price of alumina by 15.6% and an increase in the sales volume by 8.6%.

In 1Q 2018, aluminium production totalled 931 thousand tonnes with Siberian smelters representing 93% of total aluminium output. Alumina and bauxite production stood at 1,892 thousand tonnes and 2,960 thousand tonnes respectively.
