Norsk Hydro reported strong Q1 2025 financial results with adjusted EBITDA of NOK 9,516 million, up from NOK 5,411 million year-over-year. The improvement was driven by higher alumina and aluminum prices, plus positive currency effects.
Key highlights:
- Free cash flow: NOK 1.3 billion
- Return on Capital Employed: 10.7%
- Global aluminum consumption: Up 1.5% year-over-year
- Major investment: NOK 1.65 billion in new wire rod casthouse at Karmøy
The company faces market challenges including weak downstream demand and compressed recycling margins in Europe and North America. In response, Hydro is implementing cost-cutting measures and portfolio optimization. A significant EUR 1 billion contract was signed with NKT for low-carbon aluminum supply. Despite U.S. trade uncertainties, Hydro's direct exposure to aluminum tariffs remains limited due to domestic sourcing and pass-through pricing strategies.
