First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
First Quarter 2024 Highlights:
FRANKLIN, Tenn., April 24, 2024 - Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (NASDAQ:KALU), a leading producer of semi-fabricated specialty aluminum products serving customers worldwide with highly-engineered solutions for aerospace and high-strength, packaging, general engineering, automotive extrusions, and other industrial applications, today announced first quarter 2024 results.
Management Commentary
“The year is off to a good start with our first quarter results surpassing our internal expectations on more normalized business conditions with improved operating efficiencies across all platforms,” said Keith A. Harvey, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Both the general engineering and automotive end markets are off to a faster start than expected at the beginning of the year while aerospace/high strength, which was strong year-over-year, was softer than our original expectations. As a result, we are maintaining our 2024 outlook. The investments we have made and are continuing to make in the business position Kaiser well to benefit from the next stage of our growth strategy in 2025. We remain committed to controlling costs, including the successful execution of our revised metal sourcing strategy, and improving overall operating efficiencies to drive profitable growth."

First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights
Net sales for the first quarter 2024 decreased modestly to $738 million compared to $808 million in the prior year period, reflecting a decrease in average selling price due to a 14% decrease in the hedged cost of alloyed metal, in addition to a 3% reduction in shipments, partially offset by a 2% increase in conversion revenue per pound.
Conversion revenue for the first quarter 2024 was $367 million, reflecting a 1% decrease compared to the prior year period.
Reported net income for the first quarter 2024 was $25 million, or $1.51 income per diluted share, compared to net income and income per diluted share of $16 million and $0.99, respectively, in the prior year period. Excluding the impact of pre-tax, non-run-rate income of $10 million, adjusted net income was $17 million for the first quarter 2024, compared to adjusted net income of $7 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income per diluted share was $1.02 for the first quarter 2024, compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.42 for the first quarter 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA of $62 million in the first quarter 2024 increased $16 million compared to the prior year period and increased $11 million compared to the fourth quarter 2023. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of conversion revenue was 17.0% in the first quarter 2024 compared to 12.7% in the prior year period and 14.3% in the fourth quarter 2023.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
Adjusted EBITDA of $62 million reported in the first quarter 2024 and cash on hand funded $5 million of working capital, $30 million of capital investments, $10 million of interest payments and $13 million of cash returned to stockholders through quarterly dividends.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $102 million and borrowing availability under the Company's revolving credit facility of $517 million, providing total liquidity of $619 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2024.
On April 15, 2024, the Company announced the declaration of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.77 per share which will be paid on May 15, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 25, 2024.
2024 Outlook
Kaiser remains well positioned in the current demand environment as a key supplier in diverse end markets with multi-year contracts with strategic partners. The Company expects demand will improve across the majority of its end markets throughout 2024. In aerospace/high strength applications, a more cautious outlook is warranted on expected build rates for domestic large commercial jet production in the near-term resulting in anticipated flat conversion revenue in 2024 following a strong 2023. The long-term demand outlook for these platforms remains unchanged. The Company believes demand for other aerospace/high strength applications remains strong. Now that
destocking is complete, the Company expects the rest of its end markets to perform consistent with the prior outlook.
As a result, the Company continues to expect conversion revenue for the full year 2024 to improve 2% - 3% and adjusted EBITDA margins to improve 70 - 170 basis points over 2023 as it implements cost reduction measures in operations, increases manufacturing efficiencies and pursues its strategic growth initiatives.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flow of the Company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure in the accompanying tables.
The non-GAAP financial measures used within this earnings release are conversion revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per diluted share which exclude non-run-rate items and ratios related thereto. As more fully described in these reports, “non-run-rate” items are items that, while they may occur from period to period, are particularly material to results, impact costs primarily as a result of external market factors and may not occur in future periods if the same level of underlying performance were to occur. These measures are presented because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends and believes this information to also be useful for investors. Reconciliations of certain forward looking non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures are not provided because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted or provided without unreasonable effort.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 involving known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied. These factors include: (a) the effectiveness of management's strategies and decisions, including strategic investments, capital spending strategies, cost reduction initiatives, sourcing strategies, process and countermeasures implemented to address operational and supply chain challenges, and the execution of those strategies; (b) general economic and business conditions, including the impact of geopolitical factors and governmental and other actions taken in response, cyclicality, reshoring, labor challenges, supply interruptions, customer disruptions, and other conditions that impact demand drivers in the Aero/HS Products, Packaging, GE Products, Automotive Extrusions and other end markets we serve; (c) the Company’s ability to participate in mature and anticipated new automotive programs expected to launch in the future and successfully launch new automotive programs; (d) changes or shifts in defense spending due to competing national priorities; (e) pricing, market conditions and the Company’s ability to effectively execute its commercial and labor strategies, pass through cost increases, including the institution of surcharges, and flex costs in response to inflation, volatile commodity costs and changing economic conditions; (f) developments in technology; (g) the impact of the Company's future earnings, cash flows, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors on its financial strength and flexibility; (h) new or modified statutory or regulatory requirements; (i) the successful integration of the acquired operations and technologies; (j) stakeholders’, including regulators’, views regarding the Company's sustainability goals and initiatives and the impact of factors outside of the Company's control on such goals and initiatives; and (k) other risk factors summarized in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission including the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. All information in this release is as of the date of the release.
