Aleris reports Q2 2012 figures

Aleris International has reported its second quarter figures. Continued volume increases in the company’s global aerospace and automotive business and increased demand from customers in the North American building and construction industry were offset by lower regional European demand resulting in a 4% decline in volumes compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Revenues in Q2 2012 were USD1.2bn (Q2 2011: USD1.3bn), Net income was USD34m (USD56m) and the adjusted Ebitda was USD90m (USD95m).
