Novelis shipments decline, Bay Minette commissioning advances

Novelis’ shipment mix changed during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 as lower third-party rolled product shipments coincided with higher intersegment volumes, while management provided additional detail on the Bay Minette startup schedule. At the same time, higher aluminum prices, lower scrap costs and cost savings increased earnings and lifted net sales companywide.

The company’s third-party rolled product shipments fell 4.9% to 916,000 metric tons in the April through June quarter from 963,000 metric tons the prior year period, while total rolled product volumes, including intersegment shipments, increased by 2.7% to 1.050 million metric tons.
