ATLANTA, February 11, 2026 – Novelis Inc., a leading sustainable aluminum solutions provider and the world leader in aluminum rolling and recycling, today reported results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026.
"Despite facing short-term capacity constraints due to the Oswego production disruption, our underlying performance remains strong, driven by our resilient business model, strategic investments in new capacity, effective cost management initiatives, and favorable market conditions—particularly in the beverage packaging sector, our largest product end market," said Steve Fisher, president and CEO, Novelis Inc. "Cost efficiencies and favorable recycling benefits contributed to a 6% year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA per tonne to $430 in the third quarter, even after absorbing tariffs and the impact of the Oswego fires, highlighting the robustness of our core business."
Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Highlights
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 increased 3% versus the prior year period to $4.2 billion, mainly driven by higher average aluminum prices, partially offset by an 11% decrease in total rolled product shipments to 809 kilotonnes. Lower shipments to the automotive, beverage packaging and specialties markets were primarily driven by an estimated 72 kilotonne negative shipment impact related to the Oswego production disruption, partially offset by higher aerospace shipments.
Net income attributable to our common shareholder was a loss of $160 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to a net income of $110 million in the prior year period. The decrease was due primarily to the Oswego production disruption and $327 million in pre-tax net losses related to the Oswego fires, as well as unrealized losses on derivatives in the current year compared to gains in the prior year, partially offset by favorable metal price lag resulting from rising average local market aluminum premiums. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 5% year-over-year to $348 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, impacted by an estimated negative $54 million resulting from production interruptions at Oswego and $34 million from tariffs. Partially offsetting these factors were lower aluminum scrap input prices, higher product pricing and savings from our cost efficiency actions.
Net cash used in operating activities was an outflow of $90 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2026, compared to a net cash inflow $263 million in the prior year period, largely related to impacts from the Oswego fires. Adjusted free cash flow was an outflow of $1,641 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2026, compared to the prior year period outflow of $915 million, impacted by an estimated negative $485 million related to the Oswego fires. The decrease in free cash flow was also partially due to a 34% increase in total capital expenditures to $1,577 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026, mainly for strategic investments in new capacity under construction, most notably in the U.S. for the Company's greenfield rolling and recycling plant in Bay Minette, Alabama.

"Despite the challenges posed by the Oswego fires, we continue to demonstrate disciplined execution of cost efficiency initiatives and cash flow management, as reflected in our underlying performance," said Dev Ahuja, executive vice president and CFO, Novelis Inc. "The equity infusion from our parent company highlights their support and confidence in Novelis, helping us navigate a difficult but temporary situation.”
The Company had a net leverage ratio (Adjusted Net Debt / trailing twelve months (TTM) Adjusted EBITDA) of 3.7x at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. Total liquidity stood at $2.6 billion as of December 31, 2025, consisting of $825 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.7 billion in availability under committed credit facilities. In December, the Company received an equity contribution from its common shareholder in the amount of $750 million.
Update on September and November Fires at Oswego Plant
On September 16, a fire broke out at the Novelis plant in Oswego, New York. On November 20, a second significant fire occurred at the Oswego plant in a location where repair work from the September fire was taking place. Everyone working at the plant was safely evacuated and there were no injuries to employees, contractors or first responders during either event. Both fire events were contained to the hot mill area and did not impact the rest of the plant.
"We are aggressively leveraging our global footprint and third-party sources to overcome capacity constraints while we simultaneously restore the Oswego plant," said Fisher. "Based on work to-date, we expect to restart the Oswego hot mill late in the second quarter of calendar 2026."
