Aleris Reports First Quarter 2016 Results

CLEVELAND, Ohio – May 5, 2016 – Aleris Corporation today reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

First Quarter Summary


▪	Adjusted EBITDA of $45 million, down from $55 million in the first quarter of 2015


▪	Global automotive volumes up 23 percent; global aerospace volumes up 20 percent from prior year


▪	Regional plate and sheet volumes in Europe up 9 percent from prior year


▪	Positive Adjusted EBITDA generated by Asia Pacific


▪	Unfavorable impact of $19 million from challenging metal spreads and a weakening U.S. dollar


▪	Pro forma liquidity of $469 million as of March 31, 2016, after giving effect to the April 2016 issuance of $550 million of 9½% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 and the repayment of the Senior Notes due 2018

Second Quarter Outlook


▪	Year-over-year performance expected to improve despite negative scrap spread and foreign currency impacts


▪	Global automotive and aerospace volumes expected to exceed prior year


▪	Improved North America building and construction and distribution volumes


▪	Order patterns for regionally-based Europe plate and sheet products expected to outpace prior year


▪	Aleris Operating System expected to drive favorable productivity as operating performance improves

“Strong demand in the global automotive and aerospace industries and positive trends in our regional businesses, especially in North America building and construction, helped to offset the impact of headwinds from metal spreads and currencies, as well as some operational issues early in the quarter that impacted our ability to maximize results,” Aleris president & CEO Sean Stack said. “We are now gaining traction on a number of operational excellence initiatives that will enable us to capture the full benefit of this strong demand going forward.

“In addition, we are pleased with the steady progress we have made on our strategic growth projects including the Lewisport, Kentucky autobody sheet project and the ramp-up of our Zhenjiang, China aerospace plate facility. We believe these will significantly strengthen our position over the long-term to serve these growing industries.”

First Quarter 2016 Results

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $45 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $55 million for the first quarter of 2015. First quarter results were impacted by the following:


▪	unfavorable year-over-year scrap spreads in North America caused by continued low aluminum prices and reduced scrap availability, as well as the increased use of purchased slab in Europe, decreased Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $12 million;


▪	changing currency exchange rates decreased Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $9 million. The U.S. dollar weakened 4 percent in the first quarter of 2016 while it strengthened 11 percent in the first quarter of 2015. This resulted in $3 million of losses on the remeasurement of U.S. dollar working capital in Europe during the first quarter of 2016 and $5 million of gains in the prior year;


▪	an increase in volumes, including 23 percent higher global automotive volumes and 20 percent higher global aerospace volumes, increased Adjusted EBITDA approximately $6 million; and


▪	improved rolling margins in Europe and North America increased Adjusted EBITDA approximately $5 million.

Losses from continuing operations totaled $6 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $26 million for the first quarter of 2015. The change was primarily related to the following:


▪	a $29 million favorable change in unrealized gains on derivative financial instruments as a result of aluminum price movements and derivative settlements;


▪	a $10 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense resulting primarily from the closure and sale of certain North America segment facilities in 2015;


▪	a $9 million reduction in interest expense due to lower debt levels and increased capitalized interest;


▪	a $2 million reduction in business development costs as a result of the finalization of the sale of the recycling and specification alloys and extrusions businesses in the first quarter of 2015;


▪	a $2 million decrease in restructuring charges; and


▪	a $1 million decrease in stock based compensation resulting from the departure of certain senior executives in 2015.

Partially offsetting these favorable items was the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA discussed above as well as:


▪	an $11 million unfavorable change in the provision for income taxes;


▪	a $10 million unfavorable variation in currency exchange losses/gains on debt;


▪	a $3 million increase in start-up costs resulting from our North America autobody sheet project; and


▪	a $2 million unfavorable variation in metal price lag ($4 million favorable in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $6 million favorable in the first quarter of 2015). Metal price lag represents the difference between the price of primary aluminum included in our revenues and the price of aluminum impacting our cost of sales net of hedge gains and losses.

In the first quarter of 2016, capital expenditures were $122 million, the majority of which was spent on our North America autobody sheet project at our Lewisport, Kentucky facility and related spending to upgrade critical equipment and capabilities at the facility. That project continues to progress on schedule with shipments anticipated to commence in 2017.

As of March 31, 2016, Aleris had liquidity of $379 million, which consisted of approximately $317 million of availability under our 2015 ABL Facility plus $62 million of cash on hand. In April 2016, Aleris issued $550 million of 9½% Senior Secured Notes due 2021. Net cash received totaled $90 million after the repayment of the Senior Notes due 2018 plus the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, prepayment premiums, fees and expenses.

North America

North America segment income decreased to $24 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $32 million in the first quarter of 2015. Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $21 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $29 million in the first quarter of 2015. Performance drivers included:


▪	unfavorable scrap spreads resulting from low aluminum prices and the related tightening of supply decreased segment Adjusted EBITDA approximately $10 million;


▪	improved rolling margins increased segment Adjusted EBITDA approximately $1 million; and


▪	favorable cost absorption more than offset a weaker mix of products sold, resulting in an increase to segment Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $1 million. Total shipment volumes were consistent with the prior year as improved building and construction and distribution volumes were offset by lower truck trailer volumes.

Europe

Europe segment income decreased to $33 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $41 million in the first quarter of 2015. Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $33 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $39 million in the first quarter of 2015. Performance drivers included:

▪

increases in volumes, including 15 percent, 9 percent and 9 percent increases in automotive, aerospace and regional plate and sheet volumes, respectively, increased segment Adjusted EBITDA approximately $5 million. This increase was partially offset by unfavorable cost absorption, resulting in a net increase of approximately $1 million. In the first quarter of 2015, increasing quantities of finished goods resulted in additional production costs being capitalized. This did not recur in the first quarter of 2016;


▪	changing currency exchange rates decreased segment Adjusted EBITDA approximately $7 million primarily as a result of the unfavorable impact that the weakening U.S. dollar had on the U.S. dollar working capital balances in the current year compared to the favorable impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar in the prior year;


▪	an increased use of purchased slab decreased segment Adjusted EBITDA approximately $2 million; and


▪	improved rolling margins resulting from strong demand increased segment Adjusted EBITDA approximately $4 million.

The decrease in segment income was further impacted by a $2 million unfavorable variance in metal price lag, in addition to the factors that drove the increase in segment Adjusted EBITDA.

Asia Pacific

Our Asia Pacific segment reported segment income and segment Adjusted EBITDA of $1 million in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to segment loss and segment Adjusted EBITDA of $2 million in the first quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily due to an improved mix of product sold, including a substantial increase in aerospace volumes, that offset the impact of a temporary shut-down to expand the horizontal heat treat furnace.

Second Quarter Outlook

We estimate second quarter 2016 segment income and Adjusted EBITDA will be higher than both the first quarter of 2016 and the second quarter of 2015. Factors influencing anticipated second quarter 2016 performance include:


▪	Global automotive and aerospace volumes expected to exceed prior year;


▪	Improved North America building and construction and distribution volumes expected to more than offset lower truck trailer volumes;


▪	Order patterns for regionally-based Europe plate and sheet products will continue to outpace prior year;


▪	Unfavorable metal spreads, tight scrap supply and a weaker U.S. dollar will continue to impact results; and


▪	Aleris Operating System expected to drive favorable productivity and improved operating performance to capitalize on strong demand.

Capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2016 are expected to be higher than the second quarter of 2015. We expect capital spending of approximately $350 million to $375 million in 2016, including the amounts spent in the first quarter of the year.

statements. Forward-looking statements include statements about, among other things, future costs and prices of commodities, production volumes, industry trends, anticipated cost savings, anticipated benefits from new products, facilities, acquisitions or divestitures, projected results of operations, achievement of production efficiencies, capacity expansions, future prices and demand for our products and estimated cash flows and sufficiency of cash flows to fund capital expenditures. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statement. Some of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) our ability to successfully implement our business strategy; (2) the success of past and future acquisitions and divestitures; (3) the cyclical nature of the aluminum industry, material adverse changes in the aluminum industry or our end-uses, such as global and regional supply and demand conditions for aluminum and aluminum products, and changes in our customers’ industries; (4) increases in the cost, or limited availability, of raw materials and energy; (5) our ability to enter into effective metal, energy and other commodity derivatives or arrangements with customers to manage effectively our exposure to commodity price fluctuations and changes in the pricing of metals, especially London Metal Exchange-based aluminum prices; (6) our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to fund our capital expenditure requirements and to meet our debt service obligations; (7) our ability to fulfill our substantial capital investment requirements; (8) competitor pricing activity, competition of aluminum with alternative materials and the general impact of competition in the industry end-uses we serve; (9) our ability to retain the services of certain members of our management; (10) the loss of order volumes from any of our largest customers; (11) our ability to retain customers, a substantial number of whom do not have long-term contractual arrangements with us; (12) risks of investing in and conducting operations on a global basis, including political, social, economic, currency and regulatory factors; (13) variability in general economic conditions on a global or regional basis; (14) current environmental liabilities and the cost of compliance with and liabilities under health and safety laws; (15) labor relations (i.e., disruptions, strikes or work stoppages) and labor costs; (16) our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent all possible errors that could occur; (17) our levels of indebtedness and debt service obligations, including changes in our credit ratings, material increases in our cost of borrowing or the failure of financial institutions to fulfill their commitments to us under committed credit facilities; (18) our ability to access the credit or capital markets; (19) the possibility that we may incur additional indebtedness in the future; (20) limitations on operating our business as a result of covenant restrictions under our indebtedness, and our ability to pay amounts due under the Senior Notes; and (21) other factors discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” contained therein. Investors, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, futures events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes information regarding certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA and commercial margin as performance metrics and believes these measures provide additional information commonly used by the holders of the Senior Notes and parties to our 2015 ABL Facility with respect to the ongoing performance of our underlying business activities, as well as our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital needs. In addition, EBITDA with certain adjustments is a component of certain covenants under the indentures governing the Senior Notes. Adjusted EBITDA, including the impact of metal price lag, is a component of certain financial covenants

under the credit agreement governing the 2015 ABL Facility. Management also uses commercial margin as a performance metric and believes that it provides useful information regarding the performance of our segments because it measures the price at which we sell our aluminum products above the hedged cost of the metal and the effects of metal price lag, thereby reflecting the value-added components of our commercial activities independent of aluminum prices which we cannot control.

Our EBITDA calculations represent net income and loss attributable to Aleris Corporation before interest income and expense, provision for and benefit from income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and income from discontinued operations, net of tax. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding metal price lag, unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments, restructuring charges, the impact of recording inventory and other items at fair value through purchase accounting, currency exchange gains and losses on debt, stock-based compensation expense, start-up costs and certain other gains and losses. Segment Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA on a per segment basis. EBITDA as defined in the indentures governing the Senior Notes also limits the amount of adjustments for cost savings, operational improvement and synergies for the purpose of determining our compliance with such covenants. Adjusted EBITDA as defined under the 2015 ABL Facility also limits the amount of adjustments for restructuring charges and requires additional adjustments be made if certain annual pension funding levels are exceeded. Commercial margin represents revenues less the hedged cost of metal and the effects of metal price lag.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA and commercial margin, as we use them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDA by eliminating the impact of a number of items we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, and certain other items. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis. However, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA and commercial margin are not financial measurements recognized under GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA and commercial margin in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income and loss attributable to Aleris Corporation, operating income and loss, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or in addition to, and not as an alternative for, cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA and commercial margin have limitations as analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or superior to, our measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
