By Aleris International Inc., PRNEWednesday, March 2, 2011
BEACHWOOD, Ohio, March 3, 2011 - Aleris International, Inc. today reported results for the quarter and
twelve months ended December 31, 2010.
Performance Summary
-- Fourth quarter 2010 volume increased 17% versus the fourth quarter of
2009. This increase, coupled with higher LME prices and improved
rolling margins, resulted in fourth quarter revenue growth of 26% from
$840 million in 2009 to $1.1 billion in 2010.
-- Net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $42 million compared to
a net loss of $759 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Fourth
quarter 2010 and 2009 net income, excluding the net of tax impacts of
metal price lag, reorganization items, unrealized gains on derivative
financial instruments, the impact of recording assets at fair value
through fresh-start accounting, restructuring and impairment charges,
and interest expense associated with our previous debt structure,
totaled $48 million and $34 million, respectively.
-- Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $63 million
compared to $30 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Adjusted
EBITDA for the combined year ended December 31, 2010 was $264 million,
versus $82 million for 2009.
-- Cash provided by operating activities was $22 million in the fourth
quarter of 2010 compared to $17 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Cash provided by operating activities subsequent to emergence from
bankruptcy was $120 million for the seven months ended December 31,
2010.
-- Liquidity at December 31, 2010 was $520 million, which consisted of
$406 million of availability under the revolving credit facility plus
$114 million of cash. Adjusted for the net proceeds from the February
2011 bond offering, liquidity would have been approximately
$709 million.
-- The Company broke ground for its joint venture rolling mill in China
in January 2011 and sold its Brazil recycling operations in the fourth
quarter of 2010.

(1) Aleris International, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Aleris Holding Company ("AHC"), a holding company whose assets,
liabilities and operations consist solely of those of Aleris
International, Inc. The results of operations of Aleris Holding
Company are identical to Aleris International, Inc.
Aleris emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on June 1, 2010.
This resulted in the emerged Company being considered a new entity
for financial reporting purposes. As a result, our financial
statements for periods after June 1, 2010 (references to the Company
and the related financial statements for such periods, the
"Successor") are not comparable to the financial statements for
periods prior to that date (references to the Company and the
related financial statements for such periods, the "Predecessor").
However, we have adjusted for the most significant of these
differences in our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. For illustrative
purposes, the Company has combined the Successor and Predecessor
results to derive "Combined" results for the year ended December 31,
2010. The financial information accompanying this earnings release
provides separate Successor and Predecessor GAAP results for the
applicable periods along with the combined results.
Aleris reported revenues of $1.1 billion for the fourth quarter of 2010
compared to $840 million in the same period of 2009 driven by higher shipment
levels, rolling margins and aluminum prices. For the fourth quarter of 2010,
net income totaled $42 million compared to a net loss of $759 million in the
fourth quarter of 2009. Fourth quarter 2010 net income, excluding the net of
tax impacts of $1 million of metal price lag, $2 million of reorganization
items, $8 million of unrealized gains on derivative financial instruments,
and $11 million of restructuring and impairment charges, totaled $48 million.
For the fourth quarter of 2009 net income totaled $34 million, excluding the
net of tax impacts of metal price lag, reorganization items, unrealized gains
on derivative financial instruments, restructuring and impairment charges,
and interest expense associated with our previous debt structure.
Adjusted EBITDA totaled $63 million in the fourth quarter of 2010
compared to $30 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Operating results were
positively impacted by a 17% increase in volume as economic conditions for
many of the industries we serve improved compared to the fourth quarter of
2009. Contribution margins also benefited from improved pricing and wider
scrap spreads. Productivity gains resulting from our 2009 restructuring
initiatives and the Aleris Operating System partially offset both inflation
and the increased seasonal maintenance spending necessitated by higher
production levels in 2010.
At December 31, 2010, our long-term indebtedness consisted primarily of
$45 million of exchangeable notes. We had $520 million of liquidity at
December 31, 2010, which consisted of $406 million of availability under our
revolving credit facility plus $114 million of cash. In February 2011, we
issued $500 million of 7 5/8% senior notes in a private debt placement, a
portion of the net proceeds from which were used to pay a $300 million
dividend to the stockholders of Aleris Holding Company. Pro forma for the
offering of the notes and the payment of the dividend, our liquidity at
December 31, 2010 would have been $709 million.
Steven J. Demetriou, Aleris chairman and chief executive officer, said,
"Our fourth quarter results demonstrate the benefits associated with our
successful restructuring initiatives and the continued momentum of the
economic recovery. This is particularly true in our European rolled products
and extrusions businesses, as well as our recycling and specification alloys
businesses in both the Americas and Europe, where higher volumes and improved
pricing led to significant performance improvements. We ended 2010 well
positioned to capitalize on our strategic growth initiatives led by our
announced expansions in China, as well as expected continued benefits from
the recovery."
Recycling and Specification Alloys Americas
Recycling and Specification Alloys Americas' segment income for the
fourth quarter of 2010 increased by $8 million to $15 million compared to the
prior year period and segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by $5 million to $17
million. The increase in segment Adjusted EBITDA is due primarily to a 23%
increase in pounds invoiced, driven by improved demand across all of the
industries served by this segment, particularly the automotive applications.
Further impacting quarterly performance were improved pricing and metal
spreads as well as a $1 million partial settlement of an insurance claim.
Rolled Products North America
Rolled Products North America's segment income for the fourth quarter of
2010 decreased by $10 million to $6 million compared to the fourth quarter of
2009 while segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $7 million to $11 million.
RPNA performance versus the prior year fourth quarter was impacted by
customer restocking trends that positively benefited the fourth quarter of
2009 and slight customer de-stocking activities in the fourth quarter of
2010. Higher unit conversion costs resulted from the sequential seasonal
decline in volume in the fourth quarter after ramping up production at our
Lewisport, KY operations and partially restarting the Richmond, VA facility
to meet higher demand in the first three quarters of 2010. Additionally, the
segment took the opportunity presented by lighter seasonal volumes to perform
extended maintenance on its rolling mills and run additional trials of new
alloys in our continuous cast rolling operations. Higher rolling margins were
realized after a series of successful pricing initiatives in the preceding
quarters, partially offsetting the volume and conversion cost impacts.
Europe
Europe's segment income for the fourth quarter of 2010 increased by $23
million to $36 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 while segment
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $36 million to $43 million. The increase in
segment Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a 16% increase in shipment
levels as demand from the automotive, aerospace and most other industries
served by this segment continued to outpace the prior year. Contribution
margins were positively impacted by improved pricing and metal spreads.
Productivity initiatives across the segment also contributed to the improved
performance with productivity gains more than offsetting inflation and higher
seasonal repair and maintenance spending. The segment also benefited from
gains totaling $3 million related to partial settlement of an insurance claim
and a contract settlement.
Full Year Results
For the combined year ended December 31, 2010, Aleris reported revenues
of $4.1 billion compared to $3.0 billion in 2009. Net income for the combined
year ended December 31, 2010 totaled $3.1 billion compared to a net loss of
$1.2 billion in the prior year. Combined 2010 net income, excluding the net
of tax impacts of $3.1 billion of gains from reorganization, $19 million of
unrealized losses on derivative financial instruments, $12 million of
restructuring charges, $69 million of interest expense for the Predecessor
period, $26 million of losses from the impact of recording inventory and
other items at fair value through fresh-start and purchase accounting, and
the favorable impact of $14 million of metal price lag, totaled $149 million.
This compares to a net loss of $26 million in 2009, excluding the net of tax
impacts of reorganization items, unrealized gains on derivative financial
instruments, restructuring and impairment charges, interest expense, losses
from the impact of recording assets at fair value through purchase accounting
and the impact of metal price lag.
Adjusted EBITDA totaled $264 million in the combined year ended December
31, 2010 compared to $82 million in 2009. Demand increases across all of our
segments drove the improved EBITDA performance in 2010, with all segments
posting volume growth in excess of 18%. Significant improvement in cash
conversion costs driven by our 2009 restructuring initiatives, other
productivity programs and the Aleris Operating System also increased EBITDA
in 2010. Gains of approximately $7 million related to insurance proceeds and
supply contracts also improved 2010 results.

would include, without limitation, Aleris's levels of indebtedness and debt
service obligations; the financial condition of Aleris's customers and future
bankruptcies and defaults by major customers; the availability at favorable
cost of aluminum scrap and other metal supplies that Aleris processes; the
ability of Aleris to enter into effective metals, natural gas and other
commodity derivatives; increases in natural gas and other fuel costs of
Aleris; a weakening in industrial demand resulting from a decline in U.S. or
world economic conditions, including any decline caused by terrorist
activities or other unanticipated events; future utilized capacity of
Aleris's various facilities; a continuation of building and construction
customers and distribution customers reducing their inventory levels and
reducing the volume of Aleris's shipments; restrictions on and future levels
and timing of capital expenditures; retention of Aleris's major customers;
the timing and amounts of collections; currency exchange fluctuations; future
write-downs or impairment charges which may be required because of the
occurrence of some of the uncertainties listed above; the difficult
conditions in the capital, credit, commodities, automobile and housing
segments and in the current economy; and other risks listed in Aleris's
filings with the United States Bankruptcy Court, including but not limited to
Aleris's First Amended Plan of Reorganization and related Disclosure
Statement, particularly the section entitled "Risk Factors" contained
therein.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP, this press
release includes information regarding "Adjusted EBITDA" and "segment
Adjusted EBITDA." These non-GAAP financial measures exclude interest income
and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, metal price lag,
reorganization items, net, unrealized gains and losses on derivative
financial instruments, restructuring and impairment charges, the impact of
the recording assets at fair value through fresh-start and purchase
accounting, currency gains and losses on the translation of indebtedness,
stock-based compensation expense, and certain other gains and losses.
Our computation of these non-GAAP measures is likely to differ from the
methods used by other companies in computing similarly titled or defined
terms. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should be
considered in addition to, not in isolation or as a substitute for, or
superior to, our measures of financial performance prepared in accordance
with GAAP, including pre-tax income (loss) and net income (loss). Investors
are encouraged to review the accompanying tables reconciling Adjusted EBITDA
and segment Adjusted EBITDA to comparable GAAP amounts. Management uses
Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDA as a performance metric and
believes the measure provides additional information commonly used by parties
to our revolving credit facility and holders of our 7 5/8% senior notes in
understanding the Company's operating results and the ongoing performance of
our underlying businesses. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted
EBITDA, including the impacts of metal price lag, is a component of certain
covenants required under the revolving credit facility and contained in the
indenture governing our 7 5/8% senior notes.
