Financial report summary
?Risks
- The impact of labor disputes and strikes on our customers could have material adverse effects on our business and financial results.
- Our business has been, and may in the future be, adversely affected by increases in the cost or volatility in the availability of primary aluminum, scrap aluminum, sheet ingot, or other raw materials used in the production of our products.
- Our business has been and will continue to be exposed to various economic and political risks associated with our global operations.
- We are currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty, capital markets disruption, and supply chain interruptions, which have been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, attacks on shipping vessels in the Red Sea and the ongoing conflicts in the Gaza Strip and the surrounding region. Our business may be materially adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy, capital markets, or supply chain resulting from these conflicts or any other geopolitical tensions, or otherwise.
Management Discussion
- For the three months ended December 31, 2023, we reported net income attributable to our common shareholder of $121 million, an increase of 908% compared to $12 million in the comparable prior year period, and total Adjusted EBITDA of $454 million, an increase of 33% compared to $341 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in operational performance compared to the comparable prior year period is primarily driven by higher beverage packaging and automotive shipments, higher product pricing, favorable metal benefit from recycling, lower operating costs than the prior year, which was impacted by high inflation, geopolitical instability, and global supply chain disruptions. These favorable factors were partially offset by lower specialty shipments and higher labor and employment costs.
