Business, Product and Geographical Area Information

13. Business, Product, and Geographical Area Information

Our primary line of business is the production of semi-fabricated specialty aluminum mill products, such as plate and sheet, bare and coated coils, and extruded and drawn products, primarily used in our Aero/HS Products, Packaging, GE Products, and Automotive Extrusions end markets. We operate production facilities in the United States and Canada. We have one operating and reportable segment. Our determination that we operate as a single segment is consistent with the financial information regularly viewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to evaluate performance and make decisions regarding resource allocation. The CODM uses Net income to measure segment profitability in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends.

The following table presents the significant segment expenses that are provided to the CODM (in millions of dollars):

1.Adjusted to reflect the retrospective change in inventory valuation methodology from LIFO to WAC. See Note 14 for further discussion.

2.Hedged cost of alloyed metal includes cost of aluminum at the Midwest transaction price and the cost of alloying elements used in the production process. This metric also includes metal price exposure on shipments that we hedged with realized gains upon settlement of $4.6 million and realized losses upon settlement of $3.5 million in the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

3.Manufacturing costs primarily includes labor, utilities, supplies and other materials, excluding alloys incurred at our various production facilities.

4.Plant overhead includes salaried employee costs, property taxes, and insurance associated with our various production facilities.

5.Other costs of products sold primarily includes lease expense, accretion expense related to conditional asset retirement obligations, and major maintenance costs.

6.Employee costs include salaries, benefits, and incentive compensation.

7.Other selling, general and administrative costs primarily include professional services, computer hardware and software costs, office rent, and utilities.

The CODM does not review asset and capital expenditure information by reportable operating segment as such information is presented to the CODM on a consolidated basis.
