Slatina, 14 May 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 statements for the first quarter of 2025. ALRO Group registered a turnover of RON 1.03 billion, higher compared to Q1 2024 when it stood at RON 804 million, and a net profit of RON 20.7 million, compared to a net loss of RON 14.9 million, in Q1 2024.
The improved financial situation is a direct result of two key factors, namely the investments in technology, and in people that led to the diversification of the portfolio and increased the customer pool, while improving the operational efficiency, coupled with a higher quotation of aluminium at the London Metal Exchange (LME). Since the end of last year, ALRO has completed its production management team, and its results are already visible in the first quarter of 2025. In the first quarter of 2025, ALRO registered higher output of aluminium, and improved sales of processed products, combined with an improved energy efficiency because of the increased production of recycled aluminium.
“The remarkable results in the first quarter confirm the solidity of our strategic vision and ALRO's ability to transform opportunities into performance”, saidMarian NĂSTASE, Chairman of ALRO’s Board of Directors. “We have focused resolutely on expanding our portfolio of high-value-added products, penetrating complex markets and strengthening our position as a trusted partner in industries with high standards. Investments in leading-edge technology and team strengthening have allowed us to advance rapidly towards a sustainable, competitive and future-oriented business model. We continue to innovate, optimize and anticipate, in a dynamic global context, but full of potential for those who know how to act decisively”, added Marian NĂSTASE, Chairman of ALRO’s Board of Directors.
Market & Operational Update
During the first quarter of 2025, the average 3-month LME quotation reached 2,626 USD/ tonne, increasing by 385 USD/ tonne (17%) compared to Q1 2024(2,241 USD/ tonne). However, towards the end of Q1 2025 the aluminium price started to decrease, with an average 3-month seller LME of 2,416 USD/tonne in April 2025, lower by 9% than the one registered in the previous month (2,649 USD/tonne).
On the back of the quarterly increase of the LME, ALRO recorded higher sales. Thus, the Primary Aluminium division registered a 36% increase in sales value compared to Q1 2024, while the Processed Aluminium division had 26% higher sales value in Q1 2025, compared to the same period of 2024.
In the first quarter of 2025, ALRO Group continued its strategic investments focused on increasing the output of high and very high value-added products, on improving operational efficiency and on reducing the ecological footprint.
Thus, ALRO commissioned of a state-of-the-art aluminium plate cutting saw, following an investment of RON 8 million. The investment is in line with ALRO’s long-term strategy of providing high-performance aluminium solutions and products while improving operational efficiency and sustainability, and it comes after the inauguration of the CUTSMART SYSTEMS facility, following a RON 13.7 million investment, as part of ALRO’s strategic transition towards higher-value products and services, offering customers ready-to-use aluminium components instead of raw materials that require additional processing.
