Financial Performance: Hydro reported an adjusted EBITDA of NOK 9,516 million for Q1 2025, significantly up from NOK 5,411 million in the same quarter last year, driven by higher alumina and aluminium prices, despite challenges such as increased raw material costs and lower sales volumes in Extrusions.
Market Outlook and Strategy: The company is adjusting its 2025 outlook due to uncertain market conditions, focusing on cost-cutting measures and restructuring efforts while investing in new projects like a wire rod casthouse and a recycling plant to enhance operational efficiency and support sustainable growth.
