Slatina, 13 November 2025 – ALRO S.A. (BSE: ALR, “the Company” or “ALRO”), one of the largest vertically integrated aluminium producers in Europe, measured by production capacity, announces today its interim condensed consolidated financial results for the nine months ended 30 September 2025. The Group's turnover increased by 17% (Q1-Q3 2025: RON 2.98 billion vs Q1-Q3 2024: RON 2.54 billion), supported by a strong sales strategy, leveraging on higher aluminium prices and improved demand.
“The results achieved in the first nine months of the year demonstrate the strength of our business model and the effectiveness of our strategy in a challenging economic environment. These performances are the outcome of two major strategic directions that have guided ALRO’s development. The first focuses on continuous investments in technology, operational efficiency, and people development, factors that have enabled the Company to optimise its processes, diversify its product portfolio, and focus on high value-added sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and defence, where demand continues to grow. The second strategic direction is represented by our commercial policy, built on a deep understanding of international market dynamics and on long-term partnerships with our clients, which have allowed us to capitalise on this increasing demand in a sustainable and profitable way”, said Marian NĂSTASE, Chairman of the Board of Directors, ALRO. “Together, these elements strengthen ALRO’s position as a competitive European producer and confirm the Company’s ability to deliver sustainable results through innovation, operational discipline, and a long-term strategic focus”, added Marian NĂSTASE.
Market Update
The first nine months of 2025 reflected a dynamic business environment for the global aluminium market, with prices maintaining their recovery path initiated in late 2024. Aluminium quotations reached a peak for the period of USD 2,718/tonne in September 2025, from USD 2,561/tonne in January 2025. In its turn, the average three-month LME price for Q3 2025 registered an 8% increase, compared to the same period of 2024 (USD 2,617/tonne, in Q3 2025, versus USD 2421/tonne in Q3 2024).
On the other hand, the rising trade tensions and international conflicts impacted the commodity markets, driving up prices for most raw and auxiliary materials. Moreover, the significant rise in electricity prices registered on the local market had a direct impact on the Group’s results.
Financial and Operational Review
During the first nine months of 2025, the Group registered a sound increase in sales, both in terms of value, and in terms of volume, with focus on plates and wire rod, with direct positive impact on its turnover for the period. Moreover, the investment strategy, coupled with a strong sales and marketing programme, led to higher sales for aeronautical and defence plate alloys, laying a strong foundation for further growth in this sector. As such, the sales of processed aluminium segment increased 15% in the first nine months of 2025, compared to the same period of 2024. In its turn, the primary aluminium segment registered a sales increase of 19% during the analysed period.
However, the impact of higher raw material and utility prices, coupled with high interest rates, led to lower net results, namely a net profit of RON 1.8 million, in the first nine months of 2025, compared to the adjusted comparative profit of RON 4.5 million in Q1–Q3 2024, after deducting the amount of RON 122 million from the sale of CO2 certificates (funds used to support the production process for the previous year).
ALRO continued its strategic investment programme focused on energy efficiency, process modernisation, and the transition to low-carbon aluminium production.
The Group continued implementing strategic investment projects aimed at further diversifying its product portfolio, improving quality and overall efficiency, while further lowering its ecological footprint. These include the commissioning of a new electric furnace for ageing aluminium alloy plates, following a RON 11.6 million investment.
ALRO advanced projects aimed at increasing the share of high and very high value-added products through investments in precision plate processing, advanced quality control systems, and new billet and slab casting capacities.
The Group finalised the investment in a double-sided conductivity scanner for aluminium plates, worth RON 4.4 million, supporting improved operational safety and expanding production for the aeronautical industry and increase the share of high value-added production.
