The Company’s total third-party revenue of $2.60 billion decreased from $2.68 billion in the prior quarter with lower average realized third-party prices for alumina and aluminum. Alumina decreased 2 percent and aluminum fell 9 percent, although those lower prices were partially offset by higher shipments in both the Alumina and Aluminum segments.
Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $70 million, a $67 million sequential decrease primarily
due to lower prices for aluminum and alumina, partially offset by lower raw material and production costs.
