Alba posts 54% drop in 2012 revenue

  • Bahrain: Thursday, February 14 - 2013 at 03:33

Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) has reported a 54% decline in its revenue for 2012 to $257m, compared with $564m in the previous year, mainly due to a sharp drop in company sales driven by lower London Metal Exchange (LME) prices and higher energy costs. Full-year sales fell 16% to $1.97bn from $2.34bn recorded a year ago. Sales of value-added products accounted for 65% of total shipments in 2012, compared with 62% a year earlier.
