$57.7 million. Grew share of demand in billet, with 15% 3Q growth, and
33% YTD growth. Another quarter of outstanding performance in flat
rolled products segment, with $14.4 million of segment profit.
...despite
lower LME, seasonal peak power rates. Realized MWTP was $0.99 compared
to $1.04 in 2Q-10. Compared to 2Q-10, $0.77 integrated cash cost
reflected seasonal peak power rates, fuel adjustment charge, and lower
LME. Production and shipping timing differences in July caused 4%
decrease in primary aluminum shipments from 2Q-10. New Madrid achieved
record metal production in September.
Third Quarter Highlights

totaled $33.0 million. No outstanding borrowing on senior revolving
credit facility; $215.2 million available capacity. Repurchased $20.6
million AcquisitionCo notes, reducing total debt to $533.1 million.
…while
addressing key projects Completed renegotiation of Gramercy labor
agreement. Announced capacity expansion projects in New Madrid and
Salisbury. Initiated dredging project at St. Ann bauxite mine.
Market Fundamentals We believe the medium and long-term supply and demand outlook for aluminum supports sustainable, higher LME prices: global demand driven by long-term and sustained economic growth, higher standards of living and increased demand from emerging markets, especially China and India. According to CRU estimates: US growth rates: 14% in 2010, 7% in 2011, 7% in 2012. Global growth rates:18% in 2010, 7% in 2011, 8% in 2012. China and India growth rates: 20% and 11% in 2010, 9% and 10% in 2011, 10% and 12% in 2012. substitution away from other metals CRU estimates aluminum will continue to gain close to 200,000 tonnes per year from copper in wire and heat transfer applications.
Integrated Upstream Business Review Cash Cost Bridge—2Q-10 to 3Q-10 Upstream Margin Seasonal peak power and fuel adjustment had expected impact; remaining cash cost increase due primarily to impact on net alumina cost from lower LME. Record production in New Madrid in September. Billet shipments growth ahead of industry. Upstream contributed $16.0 million of $19.1 million company-wide CORE savings in 3Q. Dredging project to be completed during 1Q-11, removing volume constraint and reducing shipping costs. Comments Near-term Outlook 4Q-10 cash cost benefits from roll-off of peak power ($0.11), but will be impacted by additional fuel adjustment charges ($0.01). * Variance from 9moe IPO model and 9moe actual is due to smelter not operating at capacity in Q1 and impact on 3rd party alumina sales contribution from lower LM E.
